As long as the number of gun owners is more than 50 times the number of soldiers, high tech weapons dont matter. Remember almost half the households have guns, and the guns are spread out all across the country.
Then I guess this is one of the laws that has been ignored by the Cops and even Border Patrol. I was traveling near the Mexico border with some of the friends, and we were stopped at the border patrol checkpoints. The only person that was asked for their I-94 was the one without a drivers license. We had it faxed to the checkpoint, and all was well.
If a kid dies because of this, dont the parents get charged for wilful negligence? Doesnt social services come and pick up hurt kids, because the parent did not protect them? Do we live in the same country?
1) It's disheartening that someone on/. cannot distinguish between a country and a race.
Iranians are Farsis, and yes Farsi is a race.
2) The person doesn't just have "cultural links to said country", they're a citizen of that country and are studying in America on a visa.
True
3) The salesperson apparently heard them saying it was a gift for her cousin, an Iranian citizen.
Did the sale clerk confirm that the Iranian citizen lived in Iran and not in the US or some other country with no trade embargoes?
4) Last I checked, if I sell something to someone who I know will be using it for illegal purposes, I can be held accountable for my part. Whether or not that was at play here, I can't say, but the employee may have felt that by having knowledge of the fact that the iPad would be going to Iran, they had a responsibility not to sell it.
True, but there was nothing illegal about this
5) I don't necessarily agree with what the employee did (and the article's writeup isn't great either, so it's hard to form a solid opinion), but I do get annoyed at inflammatory comments like yours that are quick to cry "racism!" without a complete picture of the situation, especially when there are plenty of other factors involved.
Profiling by race, even though required by law, *is* racism.
So how many employees usually last beyond the first few months? Or in other words, what the ratio of new employees to well established employees be, at any point of time, in the store?
Simple, the number of people wanting Linux support is less. So AMD does not make revenue (in the future) by supporting and serving Linux customers well.
Regexing the link would be useless. The trolls can use any of the url-shortening/redirection service to workaround it. And this is not even SEO spam (the links have nofollow attribute, and google or any reasonable search engine will not count it), just some troll that got hold of SEO text and uses it to troll slashdot users. The only way these can be eliminated is, if YOU stop reacting to these trolls.
I believe GPs point was that pot was less likely to cause cancer than tobacco, and that if cancer was reason pot was banned, tobacco should be banned too.
The 400-page report, due to be released later this week, also describes a darkening mood at the prime minister's residence as a series of hydrogen explosions rocked the plant on March 14 and 15. It says Mr. Kan and other officials began discussing a worst-case outcome if workers at the Fukushima Daiichi plant were evacuated. This would have allowed the plant to spiral out of control, releasing even larger amounts of radioactive material into the atmosphere that would in turn force the evacuation of other nearby nuclear plants, causing further meltdowns.
The report quotes the chief cabinet secretary at the time, Yukio Edano, as having warned that such a 'demonic chain reaction' of plant meltdowns could result in the evacuation of Tokyo, 150 miles to the south.
"We would lose Fukushima Daini, then we would lose Tokai," Mr. Edano is quoted as saying, naming two other nuclear plants. "If that happened, it was only logical to conclude that we would also lose Tokyo itself."

I am surprised they did says the ripple effect would result in requiring whole of Asia to evacuated and soon the world. What makes them think that reactors around the reactor would not be shutdown, before they are evacuated. Or that given the prediction, they can think ahead and shutdown the reactors near Fukushima ahead.
Machine are usually run as long as possible (assuming the people who run the factory are competent, and dont have too much unused machine time). There would definitely be an impact on productivity if they had to shutdown a few machines for few hours a day. The result would affect the company and country economically.
You are *injecting* fake SSL certificates (removing the real server's SSL certificate and replacing it with your own). The browser uses your Root CA to authenticate the injected SSL certificate, and thinks all is good.
The company only sees the encrypted communication between the base station and the cell company's network. I am pretty sure they cannot intercept this by any means.
And the shopping center did not use the base stations to track shoppers. They installed antennas (that had nothing to do with the cell phone companies) that simply monitored the channel or impersonated a crippled base station (so that cell phone tries to connect to it, sends identifying information, but fails to actually connect)
That still doesnt eliminate user side encryption. If I were to share sensitive data, I would create an applet, host it in google app engine or amazon ec3. The applet would encrypt the data using two public keys, one decrypted at the server and other at the recipients end. The applet itself would be partially encrypted. It would load class files that can be decrypted only with the right password. This is assuming, the sensitive data is not too large in size, and would not trigger any data limits. If it were, it has to be done over a long period of time. Now the only thing left is to make sure the applet itself has not been tampered with and there are no keyloggers/monitors installed on system. If it gets to that thought, it means I have been caught already, and what I do wouldn't matter anyways.
Do you also block SSH traffic and other data that looks like it has already been encrypted through some software (a java applet, if users are not allowed to install their own software). Just curious.

By alien, do you mean an extraterrestrial alien or a non-citizen alien?

How do they know they know you have AZ driver license, without asking "papers please"

Fortunately the air flow speed is so high between the spiny part and the CPU that it would be impossible for dust to stick on it.
Does an Apple employee have the right to prevent the purchase merely because someone said something?
In the US it is. Selling a gun, knowing that it would be uses to kill someone, is a classic example of this. You become an accessory to the crime.

Er, does apple use the GPS chip to determine where the iPad is, and prevents it use within borders of countries with trade embargoes?

Some people refer to them as Indian Americans (just to add to the confusion I guess)

What makes you think bad karma is hell? Bad karma is bad karma, no more no less. Similarly moksha is moksha, and is not heaven.
This how any high rise is build. It is definitely not cheating.

Or, gasp, Facebook groups (provides email notifications and a decent web interlace). Both work well with a non-tech audience.

The same can be said of ISP's network. Their network, their rules.
