Of course not. They probably wouldn't go to jail in any case, just take a fine. Again, principal. Whether or not they pay a fine/bribe their way out, the fact remains, a crime is a crime, accidental regardless.
Thank you - exactly. I see so many/.ers saying "Oh, it was a mistake!". Well, you go to jail for accidentally killing someone too. I'm not equating wi-fi data collection to manslaughter, but the principal holds.
I'd be in total agreement with this, except for the fact that I thought AOL had already died. This headline reminded me that it was still lurking out there somewhere...
Its secret because, believe it or not, many people go their whole lives without visiting tech sites, or caring about the malware they weren't told about. Security through obscurity, or something like that...
it very likely was accidental... It would be real easy... More than likely... Sloppy engineering maybe...
...and then "certainly not malicious". Its been fairly obvious that there are no clear facts in this case. Just like the quote from the summary, "Google is almost certainly telling the truth"... Almost this, probably that, maybe those. To say that it is or isn't malicious is to go out on a limb with an Opinion Safety Harness. The only clear fact is that this is a very shady and inadequately explained and planned event. Whether or not packets saved were to be used maliciously is up in the air.
Since I know very little about that area of firearm laws, here's a shot in the dark - is it possible to buy guns in your state, cross the state line and sell them there?
Troll? If I were to mod this, I'd have a hard time choosing between "Funny" and "Insightful". A massive amount of solar projects are backed, funded, or controlled by oil companies - most of whom are enjoying their profits in the oil industry. I doubt they want to see the profits slow, even in the slightest.
I'm not sure if anyone ha said it yet, so here goes - who cares? It takes me less than thirty seconds to update, load FF, and close the NoScript tab that open. Its a very small price to pay for an important extension. Yes, the programmers may be farming homepage traffic - but as long as I've got an up-to-date, free version of an impressive script-blocking-extension... I don't give a rats ass. Take all the web traffic you want, mate.
I was thinking the same thing. I remember seeing an article about it here on slashdot - I failed to find it, but here's the story you referenced, I believe
While I don't know how many are actually using kerosene lamps as mentioned in the article, I'm pretty sure that kerosene costs build up over time as well. And keep building.
But, here's the thing in my opinion - the fact that they can "just google it" means that they don't have to solve it under their own cognitive processes. True, you can't pull information you don't have from the depths of your mind, but information isn't the only thing that makes a person "smart". You need mental prowess and critical thinking skills. You need supplies of information. Experience augments your smarts to a strong degree. The ability to concentrate on one task, or on multiple(so, concentration overall). The internet doesn't provide any of this at the same speed it can provide information.
So my point here stands as; is a library smart? It contains incredible amounts of information. But it isn't smart... It simply has information. It cannot think for itself. It cannot concentrate or apply trig or discern between this or that.
Why is this post labeled Flamebait? The question is actually legitimate. To see so many devices not supporting Flash(whether or not you personally use it, or find it useful) is rather disappointing. Am I wrong?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that a nuke didn't consume the massive amounts of oxygen that conventional bombs do? In any case, this entire argument is pointless, unless you have viable proof that a detonation 5000ft under the frikkin' Gulf will have the same effect as a dry-land gas leak kill, which describes the scenario the Russians succeeded in.
Actually, it goes a little deeper than that. The bible goes on to say that He's actually going to build His New Jerusalem(which most people confuse with "heaven") on a new earth(He tosses the old one into the dump). The meek referenced are Christians, His followers.

Nuke him from orbit. Its the only way to be sure.
Depends on your definition of "coherent".

"Eyewitnesses report that the subject was wearing a device which amplified sounds from substantial distances from the subject's position."
Just to make the analogy fit.

You've got an idea there though - UAV's disabling mines! 'll need to contact Mr. Stark for this one...
Did you just call my ass big?

Considering your (Informative) mod, you're obviously an important enough person to pay my respects. Wilt Thou accept my humble worship?
...at what point did my post imply that football was an American game first? Seeing differently != seeing first. Now get off my lawn.

You'll understand of course, when I disregard a post sourced entirely with /b/ and Wikipedia.
