of course they do. As do police orders to disband.
Law enforcement has been hiding behind the "public safety" banner for years. Saying that something endangers public safety is a neat way to violate constitutional rights.
Civil disobediance is also BS since it also violates our constitutional right to peaceably assemble.
that doesn't sound like it's legal. Does DHS have the legal authority to spy on American citizens going about their business? Should it?
This system sounds like big brother is finally coming online and when you run a red light, the satellite will track you home since only terrorists run red lights!!!!111
I guess there really is no limits to the complete incompetence which permeates law enforcement. We all had an impression of law enforcement as not very intelligent, and this just sears it in. Labeling someone as a terrorist because they exercise their Constitutional right to protest. The first amendment is very clear. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise of the right of the people to peaceably assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Crystal clear. Congress can make no laws prohibiting people to peaceably assemble.
And if congress can make no laws prohibiting it, law enforcement cannot enforce laws that do not exist. Therefore, law enforcement is violating the Constitutional rights of those citizens.
I completely agree. That original DHS laptop stealing bill IS unconstitutional.
Besides, DHS should have no jurisdiction there. It should have been ICE.
someone submit this for me:

think less in terms of your own cleverness, and more in terms of publishing.
Classical publishing is the model we're seeing here. Though, I understand the parallels are not perfect.
The RIAA represents publishers. The web says, "we don't need no stinking publishers". Authors and 'artistes' are wondering why they're sticking to the old school publishing method when it provides so little return. They are going to try the new method. Self publishing is now possible and cost effective. The artists know this. The artists have the product. They have the name. Without artists, the RIAA and its member companies make a big 'whooshing' sound. i.e. vacuum.
We will see labels and publishers suing artists for not renewing contracts. We will also see some artists re-invent themselves due to not owning their 'image'. The only thing that the RIAA's member companies bring to the table now is capital. The market isn't loyal to the publishers. The people are fans of artists, not labels. What we are seeing is the birth of a new industry from the ashes of an old one. The recording industry is at its knees and this, my friends, is its death knell. Long live music and the interminable spirit of human culture.
For both candidates: In the past 10 years, the Internet has brought consumers more options than ever for communication and entertainment. Our current laws regarding copyright and intellectual property don't adequately describe or encompass intangible digital content which can be infinitely copied with out impacting originals. Do you support the massive entertainment lobby in effecting legilsation that promotes the erosion of consumer rights and choices of a free market or do you believe that the market itself should decide which business models are successful?
think typewriter with a roll for paper. the carriage was either the whole paper roller mechanism, or more modernly, the daisy wheel/ball mechanism.
The carriage return sent the typing position back to the left side at column 0.
The lf stands for line-feed. That's pretty obvious. the roller moved the paper up to the next empty line.
The enter is commonly used on computers since there's no paper roller on a screen and you are simply entering information into a stack or buffer, just like a calculator. Hence the numpad enter key.
Fuck you Comcast. Fuck you AT&T. Because of your greed and sloth, the US is laggard in online innovation and content delivery. Enjoy it while you can. We may have invented everything, but the Japanese are making it cooler, smaller, faster, cheaper, and more reliable than us. The snarling greed of US corporate enterprise has reared its ugly head for three decades. It has ruined our way of life and our safety and our nation. This really doesn't surprise me all that much. I pay the same price for 6Mbit of highly limited service over a line which can handle 16 times that. Imagine if they realized they could still make money by doing things for the benefit of everyone rather than the benefit of themselves.
I'm sorry, but "delete" != "backspace", cmd a dos shell, and "option" belongs on a toolbar.
that being said, I believe KDE has the ability to change global hotkeys. Maybe you should try a distro that uses it, or install it on your ubuntu. To my knowledge, compiz-fusion also supports hotkey remapping.
Though, you could quite simply, just buy a mac keyboard for your desktop. That would probably make the most sense of all! Though not the cheapest sense.
Slashdot Mirror
They are.
And I think it's going to be hilarious when safari loses market share on macs.
I have suffered a lot of hearing loss in the 1KHz range(the vocal range).
Younger years spent in a marching band, then gigging at clubs, and finally producing digital music with headphones way too loud have taken their toll.
Most people don't know it's bad for your ears to be subjected to that strong, constant change in SPL for extended periods.
There should be warnings with every set of headphones sold. Though that's where I draw the line. I think a simple warning label is enough.
use the robot making PB&J sandwiches.
Have the students team up and write an algorithm for a robot to make PB&J sandwiches.
next class, one of the students in the class act out the instruction with the bread, plastic knife or spoon, peanut butter, and jelly.
Obviously, don't let students who are allergic to peanuts do this!!!!!!!!
The exercise gives students an understanding of how algorithms are formed and the importance of each step.
Your response when they skip a step is, "HOW?"
My c++ instructor in college taught us all programming before he taught us c++. He used this method. It works for most.
Since some airlines are already offering wifi service in-flight, this seems a little sketchy on the surface.
I doubt highly that the aircraft's control systems could have been affected by a wifi beacon signal.
If that's the case, airbus has some splainin' to do.
of course they do. As do police orders to disband.

This was Fossett's project I believe. They already have a design and partial prototype yes?
not that it matters to congress, but doesn't the V-Chip already block everything?
Isn't every TV, game console, and DVD player already shipping with a V-Chip?
Think closely on this one.
When you put the movie in, it must contact a server before you can play it?
This is bullshit DRM. It's not even buying a movie, it's just a rental. This is a violation of every edict of consumerism.
And this is exactly why I refuse to buy blu-ray.
With things the way they are right now, this judge should think again.
We already know that e-voting systems suffer from ridiculous flaws that were in-built.
This report might show that. The judge is seriously playing for the wrong team here.
Or, these lying cheating bastards got caught. Cheating, no matter who it's for is wrong.
change "tech support" to "help-desk"
And tell interviewers that "your customers always came to you first because they knew you would help them."
how about this:
Do you believe in legislating protections for failed business models, or do you believe the free market should determine success?

It's not really censorship in this case. It's security.
For years, google earth obscured the two identical buildings next to the white house.
exclusive means no.
I think this is a monumental blunder on Take2's part.
It may have been a sound 'business' decision, but it is the wrong one.
Take2 has already seen a return on Steam. "Games for Windows" is a failing platform. I will certainly not be purchasing any G4W games.
Take2, I was looking forward to a Steam release.
oh dear, I almost had milk come out my nose. The Senator from Disney line made me laugh harder than I have in weeks. And yet it makes me weep.
I have long been calling them congresswhores since their services seem to be available for the right price to anyone and they're up for anything.
It's really just the U.S. slipping its wang into the tired, loose diseased vag of fascism. The fascina. It has magical powers over people.
It causes bad things later on when the U.S. is trying to pee. By pee, I simply mean increase broadband penetration and globalize Internet commerce.
We invented the fucking Internet and we truly are pissing it away.
technically it's more of a cr-lf symbol.

I've bought plenty of GPUs from nVidia. I've paid a small fortune for them too.
I want my cut.
