Those same users that have read access to the disk could just as easily read you.bash_history folder or your entire home directory for that matter. Giving a user read permissions on disks is about as close to "physical access" as you can get.
I didn't mention anything about starting the engine. I was talking about the engine doing a near idle as you move 5km/h down the highway for a half hour.
Right, because all those care idling during rush hour (95% of a lot of car's use) sure are being efficient. Not to mention that gasoline engines are around 20% efficient in NEW cars. Then remember that electric cars, no matter what their source is DO NOT IDLE.
Normally I hate the quote, but "citation needed". I've yet to see a shred of evidence that they want to, or have EVER wanted to do this. 9/11 had NOTHING to do with blowing up planes, it had to do with destroying a few important building. Planes just *happened* to be a very simple way to do that at the time. It's kind of like having a terrorist air-drop a pipebomb down a politicians chimney using a model plane. The response would probably be to secure chimneys and track the sale of RC planes and having politicians carry radio jammers, meanwhile the terrorists will just toss a Molotov through the window next time.
I'm on an 8/0.5 connection and get 15ms on speedtest.net over wireless. I also have a server seeding over half a dozen torrents (mostly linux ISO's) running on the same network with only dd-wrt's QOS keeping it in check.
What type of hotsauce? I've known a few people that claim to love hotsauce, but then I find out they're talking about tobasco sauce, which to me just tastes like vinegar. One drop of my 500,000 scoville sauce and they you wouldn't believe how fast they run! Good time, good times...
And you think it would turn out any better with 90% of the voting populace being completely uninformed about the candidates? What you'd most likely end up with would be people ether handing in blank/invalid ballots (they are anonymous after all) or simply picking the one at the top of the page. The only good that could POSSIBLY come of this would be that minority parties would get more representation. But remember, for every GOOD minority party, there are also VERY, VERY BAD ones. I'm not talking "destroy the environment" bad, I'm talking white-supremest bad (no joke, take a look at some of the parties that never get seats, it's bloody frightening what some of them push).
For those that are confused it's sort of like taxing bathing suits to compensate beach owners for people sneaking onto their beaches without paying admission, except that the money actually goes to the guy that made the "beach ahead" sign. Don't worry, it doesn't make much sense to us Canadians either.
I don't think that's a fair comparison. C30 was initially pushed by around a half-dozen politicians looking for a power grab and we are STILL fighting it (and probably will be for a quite a while). This proposed bill is being pushed by multi-BILLION dollar corporations who buy politicians just so they can borrow their yacht for the weekend.
Actually, I believe it started earlier than that. Harper may have started the "privacy" stuff, but we've been bending over to the Americans since NAFTA and the softwood lumber issue started.
The data on those machines was not worth $250,000 as many people erroneously assume. It was the LICENSE to SELL those songs on the market that was worth $250,000. The instant Sony starts making any money (by selling/licensing them), they are instantly available for $.99/each. The "thieves" did not steal the $250,000 licenses, they simply stole one copy of each song (which are all either available already or will be soon). The only material stolen that could POSSIBLY be considered a problem would be tracks that haven't been released, and that would simply hurt their "first release" sales. It would be interesting if there were any unmixed copies though.
Sony did not pay $250,000 for copies of those songs. They paid $250,000 for the rights to SELL (or license as they call it) those songs for a profit. Sure, someone could steal the songs, but the "thief" is not going to be able to then sell those albums for $10 a pop at HMV or post them on iTunes. Remember, as soon as they start selling the songs, security of the original version is pretty much pointless since everyone with 10 bucks can get a legal copy as well. The only exception (as the title actually points out) is *unreleased* material, and I'm guessing there wasn't a whole lot of that in the collection.

You've never been in our rush hour then...

I can actually taste hot sauce that hot.
They could suspend her, expel her, give her detention, etc.
Had your cousin been visiting her recently? Perhaps with his laptop...?

No, transmissions have a TON of internal energy loss. This is why a lot of electric-converted vehicles have the transmissions *removed*!
Yes, but I doubt they are the ones that fill the bottles, put the bottles in the boxes and load the trucks are they?
because "nunchucks" are illegal OUTSIDE airports as well unless you have a special license for them.
No. The terrorist goal is to blow a plane

Not to mention shutting down a major departure/arrival location in the major city of your choice for probably a week!

redheads are also known to be less responsive to anesthesia, so that explains the dentist part.

It's called the Internet, and the music industry is trying the damnest to make sure the artists never hear about it.

Linus (who WROTE git) would probably find it suspicious that a commit he supposedly made to github wasn't present in his personal git tree.
The very page you linked to quotes him as saying it's fake.
I'm fairly certain the amount of PHP in your standard Ruby on Rails installation is relatively minor.
