not the holding of the device, as anybody who'd thought this through even for a second was saying back when "hands-free" was being touted as a safety feature.
Good for you guys! I'm betting this will really improve officer behavior, but only if the penalties for "malfunctions" are severe, e.g. disciplinary actions against the LEO and never pressing charges against anyone during whose arrest a "malfunction" has occurred.
I just love how people who constantly complain about how buggy and unreliable everything is--and justifiably so, by and large--imagine that there's no way to activate a booby trap by mischance or hostility.
Speaking of arrogance, it takes quite a bit of it, that, or paranoia, to imagine that people in a data center know or care what you're doing with your equipment there. They all have jobs to do, and if you're doing something so sensitive that you think the risk of being spied on in the data center is that high, you should probably have your own data center. That, or lay off the meth^Wcoffee.
Your assumption that content people might find--Facebook or elsewhere--that is more harmful to them than a censorship policy just handed down to them--is false. This is your chance to confront the people asking you to implement the policy with a couple of questions:
1. Given all the ways people get uncensored internet even under autocratic regimes where the penalties are brutal, what makes you think any censorship policy could work?
2. Which feasible projects are you willing to divert resources from in order to tilt at this windmill?
Don't let them answer 2. until they've got 1. well in hand.
That's actually the optimistic perspective. Given skill, experience and good will, you could pick up to two. Frequently, the most you could have is one, or in sadly common cases, zero.
I suspect similar arguments were made for having gears shift without manual intervention, but people got use to the situation so thoroughly that only in niche markets is it even possible to sell a second-hand car with a manual transmission.

If you check with black hats, you will noticed that there are two tactics that they use approximately never:
- network packet sniffing, and
- break-ins to email
What they're saying by this is that passwords sent in the clear are not an interesting target.
Just trying to bring this conversation back down to earth.
The area of the state of California is 163,696 square miles.
$ units --verbose
Currency exchange rates from www.timegenie.com on 2014-04-02
2866 units, 109 prefixes, 79 nonlinear units
You have: 11 trillion gallons
You want: 163696 in mile^2
11 trillion gallons = 3.8666624 * 163696 in mile^2
11 trillion gallons = (1 / 0.25862097) * 163696 in mile^2
I find '4" over the entire state" to be a little bit more manageable than some unscaled number with a bunch of zeros, but maybe it's just me.

I suppose that's better than wallchan...
How is alleging something about his mother's situation in life helping?

Um, excuse me, but did it escape your notice that the vast majority of terrorists in this country are white "Christians" on the extreme right?
Complaints, at least ones not issued via Ouija board, would probably decrease :P
You know someone was going to ask. It's me.
With what AGPL software did you run across this situation?
Here I thought I was fairly late to the party.
I don't think the word, "coercion" means what you think it means. Are you really in a position to force Intel to do anything? Really?
s/no thinking required/thinking actively discouraged/
Actually, this could be pretty significant if it takes some clever machine rather than a host of gigantic centrifuges to do the job.
You do realize that OP was referring to MySQL, do you not?

You must have been stoned to come up with that. Shale on you!

And of course, John Woo. Let's hear it for two-fisting, slow motion and doves!
I don't know. What makes him so good?
The actual article is about an enzyme. The chemical transformation still requires energy, just as charging a battery does.
