Yes. If you want to install Windows on a Mac, you need to ask Microsoft (can I install your OS on a Mac) who says "yes", and you need to ask Apple (can I install Windows on your computer), who also says "yes". Apple says "yes" because they try to be nice to customers who bought expensive Apple hardware.
If you want to install MacOS X on a PC, you need to ask the PC maker (no idea what they think about it), and you have to ask Apple (can I install MacOS X on my Dell?) who says "no". Apple says "no" because they don't want anyone but customers who bought expensive Apple hardware to use their OS.
Actually you are only half correct (fortunately the half related to the article:} )
If you want to install Windows on a Mac, you have to ask Microsoft if you can, and they said Yes. You don't have to ask apple squat.
If you want to install MacOS on some other PC, you have to ask Apple if you can, and they say No. You don't have to ask that other PC maker squat.
That is the difference between physical objects with the doctrine of first sale laws, and copyright laws.
Grow up - your free speech rights aren't absolute.
No, you grow up, realize they ARE, and a lot of people DIED to make it so and keep it that way. What you say cheapens the value of human life.
There's the classic example of shouting fire in a crowded theater, for example.
And shouting fire in a crowded (or any other filled level) theater is perfectly legal and protected by the 1st amendment. It's only the end result of people getting trampled due to your actions that is illegal.
And if you cant see the difference between cause and effect, there is no help for you, might as well stop reading here.
There's various laws against disclosing all kinds of information - medical records (go to a hospital, and you'll find signs in the elevators reminding staff to be careful when discussing patients), state secrets, etc.
Yea cuz there sure are a lot of medical records and state secrets encoded into the dollar amount of credits left on your smart card..... *rolls eyes*
And that's not getting into the realm of lawsuits. I mean, I could go on for hours about how you molest your children while smoking crack, but you can sue me for libel and I'll lose if I can't back up my claims.
Sure lets get into that realm. Bold added by me. If you CAN back up all of those claims with solid proof, you admit you will win. These guys have solid proof that every word they said was true.
I'm glad you finally agree they will win this lawsuit.
If you sign an NDA and then announce a press conference to disclose stuff covered under that NDA, I can get an injunction against you to prevent your holding that press conference.
And this guy has never signed an NDA with boston.. so what is the point of that example?
Are you literally only trying to find off topic totally unrelated examples of where free speech is limited? +2 offtopic/troll At least stick to what the article is about please.
Regardless of whether it is right or responsible or moral for them to do what they want to do, they have a RIGHT to speak. And you can't mess with that right without messing up a hell of a lot more than just the "security" of one sorry municipality or corporation.
Prior restraint amounts to a legal attempt to read someone's mind. Sorry, but "thought crimes" STILL do not exist in this country. Because prior restraint would open up a whole nightmarish can of worms and, effectively legitimize the concept of "thought crime", it should never be tolerated even a little bit, EVER.
I wonder how private of a company the transit system actually is. I was under the impression it was run by the city, thus the government. Assuming of course that is true, then this just opened boston up to a massive entrapment lawsuit!
It is entrapment when government attempts to entice you to commit a crime or crimes that you would not commit otherwise. Which is exactly what this statement is doing:
"When you discover major flaws in a system that society relies on, you go to the people who own the system and work with them," Jordan said "You don't stand up on a podium and say, 'Look how clever I am.'"
Jordan is attempting to convince the blackhat security researchers into committing both blackmail and extortion, which are the two laws used against a person whom offers to disclose to the source first instead of going straight to the public (blackmail), and when you offer to fix the problem for pay (extortion)
These researchers are clearly not wanting to commit those two very real crimes, so now they are having their first amendment rights trashed because this government(*?) worker wants them to commit blackmail and extortion instead.
This is the definition of entrapment. (* Assuming this transit system is government run of course. If it is some private company, it would not be entrapment, but then again, if it was some private company, I can't see the gag order as "Boston vs. ____")
I've been curious... if there was an incredibly advanced civilization that was capable of building near perfect dyson spheres around large expanses of space absorbing essentially all the radiation of the stars within it, wouldn't that look like "dark matter"?
Or perhaps even that incredibly advanced civilization consists of one or more Matrioshka Brains which are living thinking entities with very similar characteristics as Dyson spheres have, as well as answer a number of unanswered questions about cosmology (assuming they exist, which statistics say not only should exist -somewhere- in the universe, but are actually likely, and perhaps even inevitable. Ok, that last one was my own wish more than anything else, perhaps the hopeless romantic in me, perhaps some silly child type want for such things to exist, but read the link above and decide for yourself. It is an interesting read no matter how you take it.
To answer your question though, no I don't believe so (for either one.) I'm fairly sure most of the people trying to prove dark matter have narrowed the list down to stuff which can't _block_ light/EM at all, just what affects energy and matter gravitationally.
Well, there was also GEOS, which is pretty impressive considering the limitations of the machines it ran on. But I don't recall ever actually seeing it in the wild.
Not only is it out there, I still have my boxed copy of GEOS for apple2, 5.25" floppies, and a small clock card for slot 8 for running it on a//e
It's also at the normal apple2 warez ftp's, and good for a laugh to load up in an emulator.
The rights of artists to their works came way before the rights of others to trample them.
No they don't.
You artists wouldn't even HAVE those 'rights' if the public didn't accept the trade of giving you those very very temporary rights in exchange for unlimited usage and 100% removal of the artists 'rights' 17 years after the copyright was filed.
It wasn't the public that keeps going back on this deal. It's the artists stealing from us, either stealing our property owed to us in return for their limited copyright, or they are stealing your non-copyright protected works from the public. You can't have it both ways.
It's the artists whom abuse the copyright system who are the thieves, and while they don't deserve jail time as with all other types of theft and fraud that is no different, but they still need both stopped and punished for these crimes.
Tell the artists to give the public what is due to us long ago by the artists own agreement with us, or stop making art for money and go into another line of work, perhaps one more to the pay your employers are willing to pay you for your skills and abilities.
if a game is loaded into RAM, that can be considered an unauthorized copy of the game and as such a breach of copyright
Since the game must be loaded into RAM in order to play, how is it determined that this particular copy is unauthorized?
Concidering the fact I bought their game to play and load in RAM, I sure as hell better be authorized, or else this lawsuit only proves that anyone who purchases or uses software is instantly guilty of copyright infringement (aka Everyone whom isn't a hermit or living a pre-1910 lifestyle or something.)
One thing eBay should do to fix one of the major problems of their auctions is that every time a bid is entered, and there is less than 5 minutes left on the auction, the auction time should be extended to 5 minutes.
No, the way to fix that (and quite a few Other problems) is to run it like a real auction.
Every user can place one bid and one bid only. If you get out bid, you are simply out of that auction. There should never ever be any posting of multiple bids, and bids of other members should Not be detectable before the auction is over.
If you bid the most you are willing or able to pay for that item, and win, it will still only be $5 over the next highest bid. However if you bid the most you are willing/able to pay, and someone bids more (before or after doesn't matter, you don't find out till the end of the auction) then you lose. And this is fine, because why would you need to make a second bid??? You clearly don't have more money for this item, otherwise you fucked up the first time it asked you what the most you are willing to pay, by not putting in this number then when you had the chance.

I don't see where where you could have come up with that conclusion, what's your reasoning? I don't know any old people who don't want YOU to have new tech, they just don't want it themselves.

So to answer your question: Everything. The entire address, and their phone number. Even the full company name doesn't match!
Can any reader come up with a "common everyday activity" which just happens to be a felony? I can't, and I'm just fine with disenfranchising cokeheads.
If you enjoy eating bagels with poppy seeds, and you eat enough of them at once (4 will do), it is a felony (Internal possession of a schedule 1 drug, opiates.)
Simply standing outside with a radio receiver tuned to the right frequency of the electromagnetic spectrum is a felony as well (Theft of satellite service, or interception and illegal tapping of a phone conversation)
A grandmother who took a roll of film to walmart to get developed was arrested on felony child pornography laws because the film contained pictures of her 4 month old grandson in the baby bath.
Some common web browsing habits are now felonies, since it has been ruled that putting up a file or image on a public webserver with no authentication or access limits at all, on the standard ports, answering on a standard hostname with your domain (IE www.domain) could be a felony if the website owner said after the fact that it was protected and you hacked into it to get the data, and yes this has happened before. Any crime committed over state lines is a felony automatically.
And the downhill spiral that is copyright law will be there soon enough. It's already been changed from a civil charge to a criminal charge. Since a whole branch of federal laws stem from interstate commerce, and as intellectual property is about the only thing left our country exports for money (aka commerce), the next logical step is to make depriving copyright holders children from being able to bury a work so no one can read it, into a felony.
True.. but if you have physical access you can "bug" the system thereby getting true wholesale with greater effect, and less chance of detection.
But? But you can do that with some rootkits, keyloggers, and the internet too with computer access. And how could there be less chance of detection somewhere that you physically have to be, compared to some 3rd world cafe in china bouncing your connection through 25 or so tor nodes, where even if you are detected, good luck finding and getting them.
But if you trust an add on that uses that type of update procedure it's you're information to do with what you wish.
That was my overall point. I have multiple servers in collocation for hosting and other such services, and one of those is my applications server, which is where I personally would like to use as the data store for the plugin.
While I too wouldn't want google to have my saved passwords and such, their plugin at least gave the appearance of best practices security wise at the point i started using it till right up to when they shutdown the back end server. SSL for https, RSA security for the encryption of your data before its uploaded, and I actually liked the regularly scheduled backups, since most others ive tried seem to wait until you close firefox, which adds an extra couple minutes to my 'i wanna get out of this and logout already' procedure, or only sync manually (which is OK too really, but its nice to have the option of both when its that simple to make it a setting.)
But now that the source is available, this might be possible. I haven't checked to see if they released their back end or not yet... Thats the part I am interested in.
Foxmarks does extremely well for addition of bookmarks, plus it even has a history of previous modifications so you can restore your own mistakes.
Wish I could have seen browser sync but its the same idea overall.
If only. I wish there was a plugin even close to the functionality of google browser sync (and now there might just be one)
Foxmarks comes up short because all it can sync is your bookmarks and nothing else. Same with everything else that isn't google bookmark sync so far, sadly.
I need syncing of not just bookmarks, but saved passwords in the encrypted store, saved cookies, and form data. Having url and search history synced has been handy too, but not a feature i personally would complain about lacking. The saved passwords and form data however is a deal killer.
Yet it seems everyone else on slashdot has always shrugged off google browser sync saying such comments as yours, like 'its the same thing over all' where 'its' is always some plugin that has only one out of all the features the google plugin had.
Virginia resident Leming is still happily texting away while driving despite some near-accidents. 'Sometimes it just seems easier to text 'Be there in 5' instead of calling,' explains Taylor."
