Yea I suppose I can see that as a sort of justification for staying alive.
I do agree he probably wouldn't even in the end. If he thinks he is the one solving the problem, he probably would exclude himself from being part of the problem as a matter of course, even if it is his own claim.
In the end we just have to be thankful no one else was harmed by this persons actions, and at least he won't be harming anyone else. It's a shame there isn't some form of help that he could have had, but I would be at a loss as to any suggestions.
Wouldn't the SSN just be part of the information they get back when running a credit check on you?
They can make that assumption if they wish.
Of course, if you have a common name and someone else with said name has poor credit, they can also assume you as the same person and deny you services.
However in reality cellular carriers only even try asking for your SSN if they will be extending some form of credit to you, usually in the form of loaning you a phone for no money up front in exchange for charging you for that phone (and then some) over the course of your contract.
If you pay for your phone out right, and then pay for service on a month to month basis however, there is no credit involved and so no SSN assumptions need to be made.
If his points were valid, why didn't he himself believe in them?
The correct answer is he was batshit crazy. But to play along, if he wanted humans off the planet, and really believed that, he would have started with himself.
The fact he didn't kill himself first is proof he is a hypocrite and/or a liar. Or as the case is, both of those due to being crazy.
I'm pretty sure stealing secrets or conspiring to steal secrets is against the law
What law?
I'm completely certain (because I've seen the law) that they broke Australian law
Which law? What is the name of the law. What is the laws article number? From which court or judge or lawmaker? I'd prefer a link to an official source showing the law in question, but anything at all will do, I can Google.
And it's a given that they're not going to live peaceful lives ever again,
Well that one is true.
nor have they done a thing to make anyone else safer.
You say that as if their stated goal wasn't to make life more difficult on those people trying to keep illegal acts secret. Of course they haven't made anyone safer. They only claim they are making the truth known, they never mentioned safe.
If you want to argue about how well they have kept to their actual goals, fine. But there is no need to make up goals they never had and point out how they haven't met them.
What about encryption? How do I know my call is safe, and do I trust the operator of these devices?
The same way you do for any transceiver your cell phone connects to (IE you don't, and it isn't)
Little tip though, I doubt the burning man operators will be working with the feds to install backdoor monitoring equipment that records all your calls as a matter of course.
One would think he could easily cross to the dark side, and release his app in the Rock store, or the Cydia store.
In fact, I would be surprised if someone doesn't take the code, compile the app, and release it as a.deb anyways.
But using the Cydia store features the developer could still make quite a bit of money. Sure, it limits your app to jailbroken devices, but that is a very large number of devices compared to zero as the current situation goes.
I'm sure he has his reasons and all, I am just curious what they might be.
I suppose I too shouldn't assume what the original poster meant.
I can definitely see with the topic at hand how you would read that, and for all I know that's what he meant.
Just thinking about his (fairly good) idea of using the pad as a character sheet however, it would be most wise to let it do all the math and game mechanics for you, including random numbers.
In fact I have an iPhone app that does just that, though it is more for novelty sake as it does the sounds and everything (Dice Bag i think it is called)
I haven't played D&D since high school, but the game mechanics are what got tedious and annoying, taking so much away from getting lost in any story. The reason I quit was that good DMs are very very hard to find, and slapping a bunch of math on top just made matters worse with a poor DM.
I seem to recall a similar dice application for the MS surface where as you say, you literally roll dice on it. So there is that too. Personally I would want to strangle anyone tossing sharpish d4's and the like on my brand new quarter of a million dollar table PC!
So who knows. All good ideas need a few tweaks at first to become great ideas. Then the right marketing.. Then legal comes into the picture and ruins everything;}
Personally I like the idea of just having a physical old school knob instead of a playing piece. The figurines would be more of a novelty on anything smaller than a table, and using this method as I posted before, I doubt would be able to track more than one, maybe two, objects at once. (Depends if the screen can track 4 fingers or only 2. Each piece is effectively two touches)
The playing card reading seems silly too. True OCR would be useful, and maybe if it could determine 52+ different cards. But I doubt the latter is possible, and at least with iDevices now the former definitely is impossible with just the screen.
Now, take the MS table for a combined playing field, and iPad sized devices for personal character sheets, and you might have a winning combo! Reminds me a bit of the dreamcast game system setup. Each controller can have a VMU in it with tiny LCD, and of course the TV as shared screen space. Dreamcast VMU displays really were too small to be useful, but I loved the potential of the idea. It's only going to get closer to perfect as hardware advances, and we are getting close to being able to use it effectively for gaming in this way.
I'm not sure if you are making a joke and I missed it, but your first sentence implies you truly misunderstood.
You'd be around a table with friends. It's just that your character sheet would be a touchpad. You'd roll your dice on it
There's a microprocessor in that thing. Why would you need dice at all? And wouldn't the dice just bounce right off the iPad's screen?
Sorta hard to use the microprocessor to roll dice if you dont run software on the thing;}
He wasn't referring to physically rolling the dice, literally on the ipad. But having the software do it for you, thus the dice rolls are generated on the ipad in software.
Actually I stumbled across this about a year ago on accident while sewing up some conductive gloves to use my iphone in the winter without freezing my fingertips off. I just never thought it would be useful for anything, though according to the linked videos I might have assumed correctly after all;}
If you put two conductive points on the bottom of the base, with a nonconductor the right spacing between it, it will register as two fingers touching at the same time.
In my case I was going for extra surface area on a single finger, but what happened was the phone always saw one touch as being two fingers, and triggering the rotation aspect instead of dragging. However because the spacing of the points on the finger vs the thumb of my glove were different, it measured the two touches differently in that the 'fingers' were different distances away. In my case I had to rip that out and go with single points on each of the first finger and thumb of the glove, but I was going for normal touch usage of course.
It looks like they are doing something similar on purpose, with two touch points at different distances apart to determine which item it is. And being two points, of course you get rotation with it.
This method would limit you to one item on the screen at a time, however that is demonstrated. It would also limit you to a small number of different items due to low multitap resolution, however that too is demonstrated with only 3-4 figures and 4 cards, but not all 8 at the same time.
This makes me want to go dig out my conductive thread and start playing again. All my work was with the iphone, but with its small screen it truly was pointless. The ipad screen would be much better for this.
the researchers found that women who sit more than 6 hours a day were 37 percent more likely to die than those who sit less than 3 hours; for men, long-sitters were 17 percent more likely to die
Wow. There is ANY percentage of people that are not likely to die?
Quote from you: "And if this student thinks that learning about terrorism (which imho should include THINKING about it) makes you a terrorist, then indeed he missed the point entirely"
Quote from student: "There is a difference between being a terrorist and learning about terrorism."
You should be happy and stop complaining then, as your if statement is untrue and so will not be executed.
It's amazing that not only you, but at least 3 people who modded you totally ignored what the student said, claimed the student said the opposite, and then insulted them for something that was never said:/
So let's start asking students to come up with some new innovative concepts for 'how to steal laptops', 'how to make a kid blind so he could be used as begger', 'how to rape', 'how to murder somebody and dispose body in acid' and many more.
Seriously, anybody who is trying that on students is out of his mind.
So why exactly are you trying to make the world a place where laptop theft, rape, murder, and mutilation is easier for anyone to do?
Why are you against stopping these criminals?
As far as I am concerned, you personally are a worse threat to humanity than any terrorist could possibly be. Just realize that you personally represent a threat to the entire population of humans, and when you are hated for that, and people call for your own death, this is why.
Personally I *DO* want us to have defenses against all of those things. I want to be able to defend against thieves, murderers, rapists, torturers and people wanting to mutilate, as well as actual terrorists.
Why are you trying to give all those criminals a free pass by removing our only defense against them??
HP Lasers, haven't really had negative issues with, relatively speaking.
Second that.
My only 'complaint' with some of my older (15+ year) HP laserjets are that they still work great yet it's damn near impossible to find toner in town for them anymore.
Bah, apologies. My shift key dove away from my finger at the last minute. Reposted as to actually be readable:
I usually put in multiple backdoors. Not out of malicious intent but because I support customers who are so far away that I don't want to drive out there all the time.
My logic is, as long as my boss (The owner) knows about this, then there is no problem.
If I was to do it on my own initiative, and suddenly pop up later with "Oh don't worry, I can take care of that from here!" and it would be a surprise to him, then there is a huge problem.
As things have turned out, I seem to hold myself to higher standards than anyone else at the company holds me, but none the less I've always been straight forward and honest with my boss of my intentions, so by definition nothing I have done will ever look shady in the future to the only people whom matter.
A 'backdoor' that the owner doesn't know the details of but does know of its existence is not really a backdoor, it's just an additional front door with an alternate security path.

However it would be a pretty slam dunk 'poke in the eye' counter suit when the RIAA wins their copyright violation case, you can sue for slander for being accused of a crime that you did not commit, was not found guilty of in a court of law, and they knew full well you did not commit.
Of course you try not to get caught on the copyright violation part in the first place.. But if you are already there, might as well harass them with the law (They clearly don't mind)
These generic screen readers should be able to read anything on the screen too via OCR, even if they're not legally allowed to read directly via the file format.
Actually the DMCA provides an exemption specifically for DRM formats that block screen readers, in that those forms of DRM are NOT covered under the DMCA, so are fully legal to crack for that purpose.
How does this hurt them on books where there is no audio version available?
It hurts them a lot. The authors only made money three or four times for the work they did once, and this read it out loud feature is preventing them from being paid yet again for the same work done long ago.
Apologies in advance for the flame, and even more so to the authors who disagree with the guild and I unfairly lump in with them...
But the fact they offer no product to compete with it is beside the point. Authors in the guild have stated time and time again that it is their god given right to control their works and get payments multiple times over for one job.
The fact they can't sit back and make more money by not creating new product doesn't occur to them as being their fault, they just see it as someone else stealing money from their pockets.
That is why they sued Google for making their books searchable followed by wanting to shut down the public library system, and why they sued Amazon for selling used books and not giving the authors money again and again and again for one sale of one book.
While this certainly isn't the stance of ALL authors, it most definitely is the stance of the loudest ones, which happen to be the ones that pack together in this guild to cry about how not making new product is causing them to starve out on the streets and how no one will ever write again if money isn't involved, since clearly no one writes for the enjoyment of it.
The greedy bastards in the guild would rather see all literature in the world no longer exist than to see someone else profit off 'their' work, despite the provisions in copyright law that (admittedly that everyone is forced into using nowadays) state the work belongs to the public domain in exchange for that copyright protection for a limited time.
But I could see Office becoming a free product included with Windows in order to stay competitive with the Open Source Alternatives.
Maybe a year ago that was the case, and maybe Microsoft is still a bit slow to respond and this is simply a reaction to the state of things back then.
Unfortunately, OpenOffice does not have much longer to live now that it is in the hands of Oracle.
I really wish it weren't true, but Oracle has killed off every other flagship Sun product and OOo is simply next on the list:{
I don't know if Microsoft realizes it fully or not yet, but they now can get their fingers in some really interesting places in Open Office, and truly it is no longer any threat what so ever.
So unless there is some other open source office suite out there I am unaware of, that is at least close in quality to what OOo has been, MS Office just for its defacto status back
I just don't understand, it's like building a car that explodes at the slightest impact and then arresting people that expose it. Wouldn't it be easier just to make a better voting machine?
I dunno.. they already have all the infrastructure in place to arrest people.
They don't seem like they are very set up to make secure voting machines. Even if they were, I don't see any reason to believe that is one of their stated goals anyway.
