Because newspapers are not privately owned nor monetized? Are you an idiot?
I think the difference is that the court is posting to twitter, rather than an employee of a newspaper reporting the information. Doesn't really matter much as long as the tweets don't replace some other kind of transparency process the court was using.
I could see some twitter competitor potentially suing the court for giving twitter an unfair advantage or something along those lines.
I would prefer for them to pony up a few bucks for some bandwidth. Youtube desperately needs it unless you have one of the ISP's that have in network mirrors.
You read the summary (or even the article)? I am pretty sure that's a no-no around here. 1. Misinterpret headline. 2. Post rant. This is how it's normally done.
Yep. Whenever my MacBook is with me outside of the the apartment, it is either in in the shoulderbag (which looks NOTHING like a laptop case), actually under my fingers as I'm typing, or, in the case of out of town events, locked in the room safe when I am not using it.
You must stay at some fancy hotels. The hotels I've stayed in (Hampton, Holiday inn, various resorts in Orlando, FL for example) have safes that might be big enough for a small tablet like the 7" galaxy tab. I've not seen one that would accommodate a laptop.
Did you miss the entire George "Dubya" Bush presidency? Yes, that is what the U.S. government does. When the judicial branch tells them "no" they do what they want anyway.
That was pretty much the basis for my comment. Obama is no different, as disappointing as that is.
and keep thinking there is a difference between people with a "D" or an "R"
There is a difference, just not one you've noticed. I'm no fan of the Democrat party, but this whole "they're both the same!!!!" is disingenuous at best, signs of incipient retardation at worst.
This government is definitely a fair bit better at covering up major scandals (such as "fast and furious").
Did I just read that the government is not bound by the statute of limitations?
..and here I thought the statute of limitations was specifically there to bind the government.
ROFL! You make a good point.
I think the government just make laws up on the fly these days.

You are all off-topic. The astronauts never went to the moon, everything was filmed into Hollywood studios and Mitchell just stole this fucking camera to Warner Bros and pretend he left it on the moon, something Warner Bros wasn't able to contradict without putting themselves into boiling waters regarded the faked moon walk of Apollo 14. So, they waited until now to sue him via the government pretending he finally just get it back from the moon. You can add anything to this conspiracy scenario to better fit to you local conditions.
Someone hasn't watched their quota of mythbusters, specifically the one where they did the Apollo moon landing was faked myth.
"Sure, Java supports more platforms, but it's resource and memory hog, insecure (there's tons of Java exploits out there but none for.NET!)..."
Since installing Windows 7 (about a week back) I've had to apply more than 8-10 patches for.NET "security vulnerabilities" and "exploits" already.
No way. Tech4 said it was the only completely secure software ever written so it must be true.
LOL "Politicians" who get it, then it turns out to be an article about the "founder of the pirate party". Well, a chuckle is always good on a Friday afternoon I suppose!
Who said there isn't anti-virus software on these computers? If keeping a Windows machine sterile was as easy as installing and keeping update AV software the world would be a slightly better, or at least less stressful, place.
Where does it say these machines are even windows machines? Other than in the comments (much like here) I don't see any reference to windows in TFA. Didn't see anything about OS on the wikipedia entry for them.
Why is this being compared to hubble? Hubble records information in 390 to 750 nm while alma records 0.3 to 9.6 mm. I'm not saying it's not valuable, just that the comparison was a poor choice.
Maybe something as simple as an electronic machine that printed out a paper ballot that the voter could validate and turn in. This way you'd be sure the ballot was filled out properly and have the assurance that comes with manual paper ballots. Of course for that to work, voters would have to actually verify the paper ballot after it was printed...
To be fair, there are surprisingly few contemporary games whose name contains the world "scroll".
To be equally fair, there is still no reasonable basis for prohibiting anyone else from using it without also having the word "Elder" somewhere in the title, which could confuse a very stupid person. As our legal test seems to be "for the very stupid" rather than "for a reasonable person" I assume this would fly in court.
I think the reason is that "reasonable person" tends to translate to "average person", usually. Unfortunately, the average person these days could be accurately described as stupid.
Either that or lawyers are evil bastards out to screw over anyone they come into contact with in order to make a cheap buck. Most likely, it's both.
Sure, use electronic voting tallying because we're lazy and don't want to tally paper votes anymore. But keep the paper trail for validation! What is the point of not having a paper trail for validation? You save a few trees? Look at our new government, it is sold to the highest bidder, but we'll save every last one of you a penny in taxes.
You may not be from the USA and therefore may not be aware of situations like the U.S. presidential election issues in 2000 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2000#Results as an example). There are massive flaws in the paper voting system as well. Electronic voting was one concept being used to try and rectify the situation and security analysis such as the one in TFA are a step in the right direction.
Paper failed miserably, electronic is the new concept; and the bugs need to be worked out of the system prior to election time.
How is this "without evidence of tampering", when they have an actual circuit board ("alien electronic") inserted into the machine?
Also, to hide the fact that they're changing votes, they blank out the screen. How likely is it that *no one* notices this?
They discuss it at 8:35 in the video. Because there's no soldering, you can remove the board when you are done with the vote tampering and nobody would be the wiser.
I question the claim that these parents are being protective of their children. I think they are doing nothing more than being bad parents by avoiding difficult but important conversations with their children.
I am reminded of the fact that people who never learn to swim are much more likely to drown. You might think that they don't know how to swim, and so they will stay out of the water and be safer that way. The real world doesn't work that way.
You should also be reminded of the fact that the kids educated about drugs by programs like D.A.R.E. are more likely to actually do drugs than those not educated on the subject (source http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,99564,00.html ). My point there is your analogy is not correct in every situation, and I believe this is one of those. These people are being good parents, rather than negligently exposing their children to materials that their children may not be mentally developed enough to understand. Maybe you'll let your small children read things like this, heck you might even get them a subscription to penthouse and a copy of the anarchist's cookbook for their fifth birthday, but I applaud the parents for their well placed concern.
for Dreamworks to realize that Netflix is making more than $30 million per movie and still wants more?
This is a good deal for Netflix and a bad one for Dreamworks.
Because it's always a good idea to charge your resellers enough that they cannot make a profit? Dreamworks should have realized Netflix is not a charity up front.

Bai Ling isn't "Americanized".
Nah, Microsoft's M.O. would be to take what they wanted, and let the court decide how much they have to pay.
It's dictionary based. If you're not using an ultra lame password, you'll likely be OK.

It says professionally produced original content.

People think in binary here. It's either perfect or not. In your case, it is not.
Unless you work for a government agency, isn't that how it works everywhere?
Yep. Whenever my MacBook is with me outside of the the apartment, it is either in in the shoulderbag (which looks NOTHING like a laptop case), actually under my fingers as I'm typing, or, in the case of out of town events, locked in the room safe when I am not using it.

If there's a virus, it must be Windows.
That's an invalid assumption, assuming it wasn't a troll. Here's a list with some for linux: http://us.norton.com/security_response/threatexplorer/azlisting.jsp?azid=L
Here's some for osx: http://us.norton.com/security_response/threatexplorer/azlisting.jsp?azid=O
There's fewer viruses for other OS's, most likely owing to the lower install base of the same. Even black hats are interested in ROI.
Who said there isn't anti-virus software on these computers? If keeping a Windows machine sterile was as easy as installing and keeping update AV software the world would be a slightly better, or at least less stressful, place.

Did anyone not see this coming? Even after the last round of arrests, folks somehow assumed the rest of them were in the clear...
