That analogy doesn't have a lot of merit. You're a private person, he didn't break into private computers
So if someone had broken into my company without permission and leafed through a book with some employee/contact social security numbers, I'm supposed to feel better about it?
Actually, I would, but I think what he failed to realize is that culture of the NY Times is much different than the other companies (Yahoo, WorldCom) that he had hit before, which were essentially tech companies and would perhaps tend to look at that differently. But NY Times is old school, been around for what, over 150 years? They'd tend to be a lot more conservative and uptight about this sort of thing.
Try tipping the flight attendant right before the flight takes off. That's the accepted custom, and it's more of a "thank you in advance" as it were, and will usually grant you better service while on the flight.
You're probably thinking of the drainage basins to capture runoff and protect areas of the city against flash flooding. I've seen them full to the top a few times when we've had heavy rains - it's not usual, but it's always entertaining as you always get some clowns who decide to go rafting down them. But the LA aquaducts, outside the city, are always full of water. They just pipe water in from the mountains, etc.
The auction (last time I checked) was almost at $10k. If the high bidder has no intention of paying (0 feedback, obviously fake ID) then the seller will have to pay ebay fees of, what, 5%? That's going to end up being around $500. (Sure, you can file a non-paying bidder alert, but those are a pain).
Then again, maybe someone really does what to make a point? It would be cool if the proceeds were to be donated to the EFF...
Lotus notes already has a lot of this built in. You can prevent someone from using the copy+paste functionality and from printing. Screenshots will always be an option of course, and I don't think Lotus has fax capability.
and then again... Perhaps (some) people's idea about 'communism' as 'utterly vile and repressive by it's very nature' isn't entirely accurate.
But then again, China is hardly communist any more is it? Their government is more of a form of esocialism, and in some areas (Shenzhen district, Shanghai)quite capitalist. There's hardly the cadres and communist frameworks that used to exist.
But before we get a warm and fuzzy feeling about communism, let's not forget the cultural revolution in China and everything that it destroyed. Over a million people alone killed in Tibet. A vast cultural heritage smashed within China, in the name of communism. Pretty horrible stuff.
It's going to be a long, long while before China stops becoming a poor nation and >20% have mobile phones!
Ah, but if 20% of China has cell phones, that's 20% of ~1,290,000,000 which is roughly the population of the USA. And what % of the US owns Cell Phones? About 50%.
because... the US is paying for those things for Iraq. It's not coming out of the Iraqi income tax. We don't have those in the US, because most of us don't want a government that big, with all the associated increases in taxes and headaches that come along with it.
Actually... Sauron Defeated (book 9 of the history of middle earth) contains drafts of JRR Tolkien's planned "Epilogue" to LotR. "The Peoples of Middle-earth", Vol 12 of HoMe, contains drafts of a planned sequel, "The New Shadow". So there actually sort of was a book 4.
What made you think this had anything to do with helping the homeless? This is purely to keep an eye on those people who live outside of the Government system, don't pay taxes, may not have a credit history, or any sort of history, and aren't tracked in the normal hundreds of ways that ordinary citizens are.
I don't think so. We're not talking about slowing down the ageing process, but just extending life expectancy. With the end result that we'll end up with a lot of really, really, really, really old people - who are completely incapable of doing anything. Instead we'll end up with more rest homes than schools, and not only will the young be obligated to support their grandparents, but their great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents, great-great-great...etc.

But why should you care if other people break into the site?
Why?
Well, how else will you believe them that they can break into your car?
Why should you care?
No really, why?

Sure has a lot to answer for, that guy.
Yes, he does.

uh...no. I don't want to pay for either.

aragorn told it in what, 20 minutes?
Actually ...
Sauron Defeated (book 9 of the history of middle earth) contains drafts of JRR Tolkien's planned
"Epilogue" to LotR. "The Peoples of Middle-earth", Vol 12 of HoMe, contains drafts of a planned sequel, "The New Shadow".
So there actually sort of was a book 4.
It's not like he was in a strong bargaining position
Yes, I mean after all, he was only a governor of the 5th largest economy in the world. Not much bargaining power there, nope.
Californians should find it frightening that a wealthy Republican can buy himself another election.
As opposed to a wealthy Democrat who bought himself the last election?
since they can't get away with it as easily anymore, perhaps we'll see less bad movies?
What made you think this had anything to do with helping the homeless?
This is purely to keep an eye on those people who live outside of the Government system, don't pay taxes, may not have a credit history, or any sort of history, and aren't tracked in the normal hundreds of ways that ordinary citizens are.
they found the improbability drive?
There are probably thousands of programmers out there that could have written the blaster worm.
Way, way more than that.
a Voight-Kampf test?
the scary thing is I know the answer to the last two questions. ...
Now if you had asked me what my favorite color was
I don't think so. We're not talking about slowing down the ageing process, but just extending life expectancy. With the end result that we'll end up with a lot of really, really, really, really old people - who are completely incapable of doing anything.

Sounds bloody brilliant.
