Right, then they'll just move the company offshore, or we'll be swallowed alive by other countries services that are much much cheaper. That's a really nice way of fixing the problem.
Right, because we need tons of people churning out more shovelware bullshit, instead of people with the skills and the knowledge to actually innovate. You're advocating for shitty products made by sheeple instead of quality products and inventions made by those with skills. Further, if you can't imagine how programming skills directly tie in with all engineering and innovation you're a moron. You know what, even if you do see those things you're still a moron. We need people who can design the machines that unskilled labor operates, and we don't have enough of them. If you lack the skills you will be left behind in the global, national and local economies.
Right, and "pipe" seems to have been an appropriate name for a long time from various tech guys. Unfortunately the internet is full of so many idiots that something correct (or a perfectly fine analogy) can be made in to something seen as ridiculous simply because enough stupid people don't understand and have egos that require them to sneer at the slightest perceived inaccuracy.
When did they sign the extradition treaties? I don't know when but it certainly wasn't recent. And it's not just a game of applying US law to UK citizens whenever we feel like it. This is standard international law and has been for a long time. US/UK Extradition Treaty of 2003 was the most recent treaty affecting extradition. This isn't a last minute "we want that guy lets get him" move, this is standard legal procedures when somebody in country A fucks country B.
Something tells me you underestimate true hacking talent, and the value of not being a dumbfuck attention whore. Seriously, what makes you think this guy is a more talented hacker than any of the people who actually write viruses, malware, develop jailbreaks, reveal encryption keys in hardware etc.? The only thing that got this guy attention was sticking his e-peen where it didn't belong and waving it about in people's faces.
I don't think the FBI needs more people to hunt out low-hanging fruit. Not to mention it's hard to run a sensitive investigation with some jackwad flopping his dick about. "You guys need any SQL injection writers?"::thrust thrust thrust:: "I know how to make ASCII art too, and run IRC servers!"::thrust thrust thrust:: "Somebody start DDoSing the"::thrust:: "mafia!"
That's the idea, but really it doesn't work that way for this kind of hacking any more than it works for carjacking. In this case, one down is probably 100 less who think they'll get away with it. I mean, it's not like they're freedom fighters being stepped on by the government. They're class A jackholes, being jackholes. Watching the class clown get sent to the office where he is butt-raped by the principal probably doesn't inspire lots of others to take up the mantle and carry on the cause of lulz.
I can still play Warcraft II online if I can get an IPX stack that still works. I can still play Quake II, I can still play tons of stuff. You're either being deliberately dense, or have only been playing games for the last 14 months.
Senators are in the senate, Representatives are in the House of Representatives. The Senate and the House of Representatives are two houses of a bicameral legislature we call congress. All people serving in congress are congressmen.
Which then makes her few fans say "She must be doing something right! The left freaks out over her!" Then they wipe the drool off their mouth and make love to their sister.
Don't you know We don't like her so its big news when something you can use to make fun of her is released. I mean, in all honesty this is probably reasonable in aspects that it will not be used for. Really it'll be used for making fun of a dumb girl. Its what the internet is for.
Well a house really could be worth more than what somebody will purchase it for. For example it might be worth the utility of shelter and good memories. The person who owns something also can give it worth, they don't need to buy it, they need to keep it. It is "worth more [to them than the offer price]". Gold, on the other hand, has almost no value unless you really like the way it looks, or plan to plate some connectors or build a heat shield or something. The people with a bunch of gold in a vault somewhere are just counting on the fact that somebody else will be suckered out of their items that have utility in exchange for it (probably via another currency).
Uh, no. See, what's kind of cool about people is they can communicate. And this is one way for Chambliss to communicate with you (and also provides contact info for you to communicate with him, through abstraction).
The Chambliss app allows the public to call Chambliss's offices directly from the app and find in real-time information on the Senator's positions on current political topics. Users can also access news articles, e-newsletters, videos and photos from their phones and participate in constituent surveys.
How is any of that bad, how is any of that not nice to do? Yeah, its all from him, but it isn't a "propoganda stream" like others have asserted. It is simply a way for him to express his opinion on things so you know what he thinks about stuff. WTF, this is exactly what has been missing. And yes, it isn't always going to be truthful because its coming from him, but subjective information is as important as objective information. When you want to know what somebody thinks, you don't go ask a 3rd party. If you want to know what they did, usually a third party would be more reliable information.
Why do I get the feeling if Chambliss was a D, people would love his embrace of technology?
Right, because 3 apps is just way too many. Its not like we have gigs of memory. All of our iPhones are so maxed that we just can't spare less space than angry birds for keeping up to date with our representation in washington.
Perhaps we should show the security flaws in real life system. Guess what? Nothing is secure. If LulzSec were serial killers would it still be the same for you? Proving how insecure our frail human necks are? Has it ever occured to you that the only thing that keeps society running is the threat of retribution and our years of weeding out sociopathic behavior? The reason you aren't murdered for every interaction you've ever had is not because you were secure. This is bullshit, anti-social, watching-the-world-burn asshattery.
Did you know Goldman Sachs was just demonstrating the insecurity of the American financial system? Get your head out of your ass and look around at the world. You are at the mercy of everybody, and the only way to stop this kind of behavior is through social pressure which will come in the form of being able to identify internet users. Get ready to talk about the good old days when you didn't get raped at an airport and the government didn't ID you before you could log in to the internet. And what were you saying at the time? "Good! I'm glad people are assholes and we can't trust each other. It just shows how much we can't trust each other."
It was inevitable but don't fool yourself in to thinking it is a good thing.
Right, which is why Slashdot is full of threads about how great it is we have 3 different consoles to serve different purposes and nothing ever resorts to a pissing contest about gamecubes with waggle bolted on and free online play. Nerds love all aspects of nerd-dom.
Do you think this is why we were states with most of the power, and a federal government with limited power and the electoral college instead of popular vote for president? I do, it seems we took a good framework and eroded it with generations of poo-brains.
It mitigates the risk of saying "lets do away with X" against the law of the land because there is always a Y that people want protected by the same system of laws. Of course the system erodes, but what you're saying is having a business plan is the same as not having one at all because you can always do something else. Sure, you could but having the plan really keeps you on track longer.
Notice that major changes to US law require more than a simple majority, and more than just Federal approval, but state approval as well, and judiciary approval. These bounds are stepped over all the time, but a huge leap over the bounds of law are harder to get away with. This is vastly better than 50.1% of the current people of voting age making whatever decision they want. That is called a mob, and mob justice is not the most delicious justice.
I was just kidding (hence the "blow you" at the end), because I missed the sarcasm. In reality, though, it is disingenuous to attribute these problems to the "free market". It is like attributing lying to telling the truth because people present lies as the truth. I get the point, that we don't have a free market, but since we don't have a free market it'd be better to say "capitalism" than "free market" when complaining about laws being written by corporations to control markets.
No I believe the question is closer to "Should we let straight guys vote for number one gay, should we let youtubers vote on internet infrastructure designs, should we let Slashdot vote on best vag, and should Joe Frazier be on the HTML5 standards committee?" It's, you know, the basis for representative democracy. Vote for people smarter than you so they can educate themselves and vote on your behalf, because realistically you aren't qualified and don't have the time for well-informed decision making. This is one of those topics where maybe layman's opinion isn't what we should be basing our decisions on.
No, they can't. It's just not possible. Are you out of your mind? Performance alone is a huge problem, add in the fact that you just can't and shouldn't do that for any kind of windows programs that don't run in the browser. If they tried to make it so JS could interact with the OS and the computer the way it needs to to replace.Net, you would end up with a proprietary mess of shit that wouldn't even be JS or HTML5.

Well that's just not true. None of it. That is not the way extradition works.

I'll tell you one thing, if Joe Frazier was leading that committee we would all be riding in self-piloting, flying cars rendered on Canvas by now.

It's called slandering the free market. Blow you.
