So you want to have the right to blind oncoming drivers without pesky interference from the gumment?
If he's operating his headlights in an unlawful manner, there are police who can deal with that. He bought a car with feature X, he should be able to keep that feature.
To use a computer analogy in a car thread, imagine that due to piracy, a law was passed stating that computers can no longer play video and that any PCs coming in for repair must have their video capabilities disabled. Are you going to take your PC straight to Geek Squad the next time they send you a flyer in the mail, or are you going to null route the update servers for your OS and keep using the feature you paid for?
Which means that if you're using that as a security measure you've pissed off a massive section of your customer base.
It's still required by law that the W2 be mailed out, so that's where the payroll company's name (or a ten-digit identifier that's also supplied to the IRS, or any of a number of other security features) could go. For what it's worth, I'm 35 and will always request paper paychecks as long as they're an option.
There are numerous spiders slurping up the entire public corpus of Pastebin. You can observe this by creating a new public paste. Check it 24, 48, 72 hours later and watch as the view count increments. Their recently added pastes list is heavily mined, and who knows who's saving it all. I doubt the "private" pastes are much more secure.
Except the article specifically mentions multiple legal commercial uses. Television news broadcasts can use clips of the game during their sports reporting, without the NFL's permission; grocery stores can have a Super Bowl sale on hot wings and Doritos, without the NFL's permission.
We've seen with Islamic State, its incredible capability on the net, Facebook, Instagram and all the rest.
Doesn't this describe just about every 12-year-old in a first world country? Knowing how to use Facebook and Instagram is hardly the hallmark of "incredible capability" on the internet.
"Big Data" is like sex in high school. Nobody really knows for sure how to do it properly, but everyone thinks everyone else is doing it, so everyone says they're doing it, too.
The incumbent telephone provider, BT Openreach, is forced, by regulator policy, to offer access to their network for a fixed cost to the other telecoms resellers
We had that in the US for awhile. I remember when my city was serviced by Time Warner Cable and their RoadRunner internet service. At one point, Time Warner was forced to offer competitors the ability to sell cable modem service. Earthlink and AOL entered the market. As a RoadRunner customer, I could fire up a sniffer and see all the.earthlink.net and.aolbroadband.com ARP traffic flying past; all three vendors were sharing the same coax, and it was working just fine. I don't recall quite what happened, but that arrangement didn't last very long, I don't think a year had transpired before ELN and AOL were booted back off the pipes.
Is there a preference or a killbit to block McAfee from hitching a ride? Java's installer lets you set a registry key to suppress the Ask.com toolbar offer from appearing, would be nice to see something similar for Flash.
The first thing that comes to my mind is "charm bracelet," telling me that Windows is now the preferred OS of 10 year old girls. It's still missing the Hello Kitty Explorer, maybe that'll show up in a later preview.
What will folks do when drones get to be insect sized?
When? The CIA had insect sized drones in the 1970s. They "terminated the program," yeah right; they've probably progressed to fully functional ladybug sized models by now.
Sadly that's not true. The average American, although supposedly schooled, has no idea what DNA is.
Sure they do, it's just full of negative connotations. To the average American, DNA is the stuff in blood, saliva, semen, hair, and fingernails that lets the police identify and catch criminals. And when you ask them if DNA should be in food, that's where their mind goes; of course there should be warning labels on food that might have somebody's blood or saliva in it. I would bet money that a majority of respondents to the survey assumed that "DNA" equals "human DNA."
Links posted to reddit mostly come from elsewhere, too. There are vast swaths of original content, but that site remains a news/link aggregator at its core, just like Slashdot.
One of Slashdot's biggest problems IMO is a lack of timeliness. By the time something hits the front page here, it's often old news; not just by an hour but by several days. News has become increasingly social and people want to discuss everything, but attention spans are growing shorter, which does not bode well for a site consisting mostly of stale stories. I know that by the time I see a story here, I've often commented about it (and exhausted my mental tolerance for debate on the subject) somewhere else. Today was actually pretty decent with the stories about FBI fishing expeditions and police spy radars being showcased while the news was still topical.
I confess, I don't ever go to the firehose and vote on whether or not stories are any good. If the editors are relying on readers to push stories to some greenlight threshold then I guess I'll share in the blame.

That horse has already left the barn, they even poked fun at Google's internal setup with a doodle. There was no enormous shitstorm. Google responded by encrypting their internal traffic (or announcing that they did, anyway) and life went on. Millions upon millions of Americans simply don't care, and millions more actually want the government reading everyone's email because they think it protects us from them ay-rab turrists. Until the surveillance apparatus somehow fucks up football or The Voice or Pawn Stars, nobody's going to give a shit.
Well actually you can walk into a police office and tell them you just murdered somebody, but unless they can prove it you'll never go to court, never mind go to jail.
You'd have a decent chance of involuntary commitment to a psychiatric hospital.
I am not afraid of terrorists. I am not afraid of religious extremists. I am not afraid of murderers, rapists, drug dealers, drug addicts, carjackers, burglars, home invaders, "active shooters," or copyright violators. No, the biggest threat to my freedom comes from my own government, and that makes me sad.
You can't have just one parent watching all of the kids either, each kid has to have their own parent there.
This drives me crazy. It's not the law here but it's become custom, I suppose due to helicopter parenting. I live near a school bus stop and every morning there are a dozen or more vehicles crowding around that corner. They're creating traffic hazards trying to park amongst each other, with doors opening at random as kids decide they want to go talk to their friend in another car, etc. This isn't just in the freezing cold or the pouring rain, it's every day.
What's the point of having the school bus at all? The parents obviously have the time to drive their kids a block and a half to the bus stop and then sit there waiting for half an hour until the bus shows up. The school itself is less than 15 minutes away, just drive them there.
I don't understand how that works. Can someone make a software robot to do searches and visit ads, and then get paid? Why have a job when your computer can make money unaided?
Yes, Google (or Bing) for bing rewards bot. You, too, can raise your utility bill while earning a whopping $5 worth of credits per month to apply to your XBox Live account. Don't quit your day job just yet.
In your Step 5, only the first sentence is valid. Chilling Effects is never given a copy of your copyrighted material, they do not post a copy of your copyrighted material. They post a copy of the DMCA notice that you sent to Google. If that DMCA notice contains a list of 100 URLs where I can download your copyrighted material, I'm afraid that's too bad. Maybe you should be filing your DMCA notices against the places actually hosting your copyrighted material, so that those URLs no longer function, instead of filing your complaints against a search engine.

Gun nuts are paranoid as hell, that's why.
And with good reason; this story is yet another confirmation that they are out to get us. I wish everyone would be as paranoid as "gun nuts."

I'm pretty sure I recall reading that most of Lizard Squad's botnet, the one used to attack PSN and XBL, is comprised of rooted routers.
Thanks, that explains everything nicely.

So he made bomb threats and swatted someone? Fucktard trifecta is in play.

Allow traffic from RFC1918 addresses to the router and vice versa, and refuse to pass any other packets.
I'm putting you on notice!
