Might be why google is pushing it too... I just thought of Skype immediately because it is what everyone I know uses for business. (Much as I would prefer the open protocol.)
Huh? no. I was saying that based on the article there is a likelihood that justice will be served properly this time, but that the process is deeply flawed. Plea bargains, which bypass the courts, are effectively extorting admissions of guilt from the accused (likened to medieval torture by one poster).
I expect criminal charges to be proven beyond reasonable doubt in a court of law before I will accept putting innocent (until proven guilty) people in jail.
See, right there the plea bargain effectively says "I did it" despite having been extorted from the victim^H^H^H^H^H^H^H accused, so they don't get their day in court.
If a child was harvesting personal data and using it to blackmail people for naked pictures I would agree, but this is an adult. I would think that this would think that if I was going around in person, and making threats to see womens' naked flesh I'd be in far worse trouble, I don't see when this guy is getting off so easily.
Huh? Who said anything about 1 year? My bet is that a plea bargain will let him off easier then 105 years in jail, maybe even easier then if he goes to court. It will still be a punishment that I expect will fit the crime. My problem is with the plea bargains themselves and believe that he should be forced into court, where all such allegations (and bargaining) belong.

Yeah, sounds more like manipulator, not so much a hacker.
Perhaps what's scariest about this situation is the fact that Kazaryan's alleged online criminality occurred over popular online platforms that millions of people use everyday, like Skype and Facebook, which means you don't have to be deeply entrenched in technology to be taken advantage of.
That too sounds very hyperbolic... Scams happen on "popular communication platforms that billions of people use everyday, like phone and snail mail, which means you don't have to be deeply entrenched in technology to be taken advantage of..."
This is true, and it means that justice will probably be served in his case. But the problem I see is using the extortion of long sentences to force a plea bargain to avoid time in court. That is in my opinion where there is something going wrong with the system, and that we should all be worried about it. In my opinion plea bargains are just begging to be abused by the system and creates a mockery of due process.
Ok maybe not, but kinda cool. I'd be curious to see some of those and how they thrive down here... Are they evolutionarily disposed to only living up high and die under the high pressures and hostile environment below, or are they disposed to moving between the ground and the sky?
I don't see how this is off topic... - France wants to collect taxes on companies outside its jurisdiction. - Many other countries want to do that as well (eg. US and Canada) - Some countries have acted as if international jurisdiction doesn't exist (eg. US in offtopic but somewhat humorous case). Is it too hard to imagine that this is just tip of the iceberg type stuff?
Enter the new world of international tax collection.... It all started when the US gov't decided that it had the jurisdiction to raid a house in New Zealand...
This one deserves to be moded up. It is exactly along the lines as I was thinking. And if this happens in the open in the US there would be all sorts of watchdog organizations ready to fight for personhood for the child before the child ever needed to make that battle themselves.
I think even my cat has certain rights. But that I the whole point- how many rights? And it is not just about rights, but quality of life. What exactly is "human"? Where is a line drawn? Even modern humans have some trace neanderthal DNA. I think there are certainly a lot of ethical things to consider, especially if this creature is a "person" of any type.
I think the answer to this can only be determined by the same premise that is making people want to pursue this line of research... "there's [only] one way to find out"
DoD has had systems for that for decades, but the technology tended to assume that the opposition didn't know the details of how it worked. It may be possible to have jam-resistant systems that work even if the opposition knows the technology.
Now that is an interesting idea, maybe link the jumping to cryptographic keys, you have to know the private key in order to be listening to the right spot on the band at the right time. That way the jamming would have to know the keys in order to predict where it has to jam...
Yeah, talking out of my ass, but sounds like an interesting idea.
We are God with regards to this product and anything you put into it or it does to or with your system or business.

Let them shoot down 1,000 more for all I care. Just more american workers in american aircraft factories with more work to do. Nobody dies, and it benefits our domestic economy.
If bakers were able to use the microwave technology, they would be able to avoid these additives.
Still I like this part. I mean if we can avoid the preservatives and added flavourings to mask the preservatives, that would ultimately be a good thing, wouldn't it?
But there's no need to speculate about any of this, because the ingredients are listed on the label.
Somewhere I have a picture of the ingredients list on a can of coke I drank recently. It said: "Ingredients: Carbonated water, Coca-Cola(tm) flavouring." Not kidding. Thankfully the laws in Canada/US are better, but sometimes I wonder to what extent.
Yes, you should be focusing on driving. You should not in fact be panicing about "which turnoff do I need to take?" "Was that Flori Street or Floral Avenue?" Stopping your car randomly on the side of a highway to recheck the map... A good GPS has already solved your problem by the time you make a mistake.
Then please, please, please open source it, or at least let some third party support it. Car owners will likely pay to keep their car up to date if the car manufacturers can't be stuffed.
The problem I have faced is that none of my server ISPs will even let me get an IPv6 address even if I know they have it and I beg. That goes for major service providers too. I'm looking at you Amazon Cloud and RackSpace. Amazon kinda has it, but only if you use one of their load balancers.

Justice served by a short sentence (one year)?

Fair enough, poor choice of words. I wasn't really implying that this is a new thing.
