It depends on what you think the purpose of a police weapon is. If you think the duty of police is to kill suspects, then guns are more effective weapons. If you think the purpose of police is to arrest suspects alive, and gather evidence leading to their conviction in a court of law, then you might consider the argument that tazers are more effective weapons.
The link with MIT speaks to why this is news for nerds. Nerds/engineers are probably the most likely suspects in any bombing, being both disenfranchised from the mainstream and having the intelligence to know how to accomplish the engineering required to blow something up.
The conspiracy theory on false flag I've seen is that the pressure cookers were loaded with black powder, so the move was to get black powder outlawed so people can't make their own ammunition legally. Just sayin...
This. I had an agent since more than 10 years ago, and she did a very good job finding me well-paying clients, and getting the money out of them (minus her 10%).
Because the researchers got their public funding by getting lots of publications in Nature. It's a vicious circle and nothing about the current proposals in the UK or US seems like it will make a difference to the cycle - get some funding -> do good research -> publish in Nature -> get more funding
P(false positive) >= P(downloading content which is incorrectly flagged as infringing +P(someone else spoofing ones IP) + P(software or database or configuration error at ISP) +.....
All of these probabilities are unknown, so your statement about the likelihoods is baseless, unknown, and in my opinion wrong, unless you can offer evidence otherwise.
Yes those people. The poor cannot afford to hide their income from taxation by buying bits of corporations, they are more likely to spend it on housing, food and energy.
By 'the rich' I meant people with enough spare money to hide their income from taxation by buying bits of corporations. The poor do not get to afford this.
Good. The more people publish unsigned software the more annoying the warnings get, the more likely the whole signing thing will go away. Does it really make anything any more secure? What happens when the signing keys get compromised?

This. And tazers.
tazers?
tazers
No need for anything fancy like that. I thought police carried tazers to disable suspects they actually want to take alive.

I'm guessing Google could use AI to generate automated email responses to users' queries.

Next year will be year of teh dumbphones.
Google Earth will go realtime with drones cited above everyone's house. Please pass relevant legislation kbyethx

Insecure software is insecure

Ohnoes how will we ever get it back?

This is normal - the rich don't pay tax.

Turbo Pascal was pretty much the first decent IDE for Windows AFAIR.
I wonder what happens to the credit ratings of people who sue credit rating agencies.
I bought two and they are fine, hence they are 200% reliable in my experience.
I think this summary misses the point that the dog is no longer the desktop, but is increasingly the mobile platform.
I don't think the US has a monopoly on maths, or implementation of mathematical algorithms.
