But I cannot use external GPL'ed software in my product and NOT release that same code. So if wanted to not release the code then I cannot implement my product using GPL'ed code. So by your standards GPL is not an open standard. However I don't have a problem if I use BSD'ed code.
Why are all of these robots configured to work in a squatting position? Is it that much more difficult to make them perform in a fully upright human like stance?
I thought that the majority of offenses against children were by people already known to the family/child? So what does this App add aside from scare mongering?
More power to you if you can work from just a laptop - but it would get old really fast if you had to lock everything up in order to take a dump.
My wife works at a company where hoteling is standard, and she can't let her laptop out of sight at any time - and thats within the confines of the company's building. Multiply the security risks by a large degree when you are working in a public place like TFA is suggesting.
Oh and by the way - So if it works for you then it is not a stupid idea and workable for everyone?
The three computers I have on my desk, the pile of reference books and the large pile of printouts that I have been marking up. Plus the ability to walk away and get a rest break with having to ensure that my stash is safely locked away.
And yes I need this mess. One of the computers isn't mine and the other two are totally different architectures. And the printouts are schematics of a ship that I am doing work on
In being Australian, I grew up with the notion that Black Swans were the norm. It was only when I went to Europe did I see the funny looking white swans.
A classic example of this sort of thing is taking photographs in public locations. The law allows for it, but law enforcement has been known to be to lacking in an understanding of that. As a photographer I would rather have the option of explaining to a policeman my rights (and perhaps showing an excerpt of the law) than to be hauled off to court for something that would eventually be thrown out. That latter wastes my time, the courts time and a whole lot of public money.
"Broecker told CNN the units could stand in the middle of Australia, for example, and their presence wouldn't significantly disrupt the atmospheric distribution."
Except for the minor problem of being fuck all in the middle of Australia - including massive power generation facilities require to run them
I am not sure if it is related, but sometime in the last year I saw some reality/doco TV program that was attempting to produce a proof of concept of such an artificial tree in a fixed time frame. What struck me then was the bad engineering and science that was being put forward as the implementation of this "great idea". It was like a mythbusters pretending to be real research.
"It couldn't be determined whether the equipment from Nokia Siemens Networks is used specifically for deep packet inspection."
So in other words a European venture sold a bunch of equipment to Iran for network usage and (also FTFA)
If you sell networks, you also, intrinsically, sell the capability to intercept any communication that runs over them."
It sounds like a beat up to me. What would the story be if a US company had sold the equipment to Iran? (yeah I know.. trade embargo etc) This story smells of sour grapes.
when I was living in the US and working on an L-1 visa I used to enjoy the same thing! And I didn't have an SSN or ITN.
Its a real hoot watching the wheels turn around in peoples heads as they slowly start to realise that there are people living and working in the US who are not citizens and not emigrants.
But how do you prove that I am lying? Especially if you do something like drive past a City Hall or a City employee's house and use an open Wi-Fi access point to perform the abuse.
By asking for the account details the City has opened itself up to a whole can of worms of which unscrupulous people can make wonderful use of with little or no repercussions.
I remember seeing a doco about the autobahns in Germany and how little maintenance they needed. The doco suggested that the US interstate system copied the Autobahn plan but skimped on the construction. IIRC the US only applied half the depth of foundation that the Germans did, resulting in a system that needed maintenance twice as often.
I still believe that most people are ignorant of being tracked, rather than assuming they are and being powerless to stop it. I think this because people in general have little comprehension of anything that is not in their immediate world - for example manually setting a VCR time. Technically a simple system to set up but seemingly beyond a lot of people. So how do you explain to them about the extent and possibilities of tracking systems which are hugely more complex in operation?
To add onto my "punch in the head" argument, I think it should be better stated as "a punch in the head at some indeterminate time in the future". So there is no immediate feedback to correct the market. Thus people will keep doing business with me while I abide my time before I come out punching.
It's funny that one could look at this and say the markets don't work. The markets ARE working and that most people don't actually care about privacy.
The problem with your statement is that markets only work when there is freely available knowledge. In the case of privacy, I would say that the markets are "working" not because people don't care, but rather that they don't know. So it is not really a free market scenario that they are entering into.
If I offered you a service and didn't mention the punch in the head I would also give you, then are you taking up that service because you don't care about being punched in the head?
Most muslims I have met are not hateful. That includes those I have me in the west and those met in the middle east. So while its really a generalization that they all hate I think that a lot of the haters are in charge and/or vocal.
You can also say the similar things about Christians

Green card holders pay taxes yet can't vote - something that you citizens held a tea party over a few centuries ago.
You do know that if you go to an auto parts store you can get almost the exact same thing for a hell of a lot less don't you?

Man I can hear that sweet tune now ..
Of course this could easily be fixed by the Federal Government setting a national sales tax :D
Oh God .. yes it was .. thanks for bringing back bad memories. And for the curious Fixing Carbon

How much juice does one of these things consume??

Yeah but think of the additional fun you can have taunting whoever you like with no repercussions. It's a vigilantes wet dream!
Abuse it yourself and claim that the City did it!
