That's the way it's been seeming, however, the 2nd article talks about something that is a little more constant, and that's the "tipping point". That's when the government is forced into reform by enough angry people that the officials cannot be elected again w/o reform. It's a shame it has to come to that though, and part of the issue is the government being so bogged down, the proper people may not even be aware that robots can be used in such a way, or that the local police has flying helicopter drones. There's a huge disconnect in the government when it comes to technology and they are not only trying to catch up in privacy, but in usability too. Just because they have helicopter drones doesn't mean they ever intended to spy on your average citizen, technology came before the laws, make sense? I think it's a bigger statement to the inefficiency of the government, and a lot less to malevolent intent. There's a lot better things to bash the government for, like SOPA.
Oh and of course another solution in the spirit of slashdot is to have texting technology get to a point where you don't have to text to text, which kind of defeats the purpose, but stuff like siri is getting close. We've been at this technology (natural speech) for a long long time though, almost as long as computers have existed, so I don't know, but it is A solution.
I'd also argue that maybe we need to level out our system of drivers, there's a reason a regular driver can't get in a semi and drive it legally. The same can be said here, "are you a good enough driver to talk on the phone while driving?" in a test form. I trust myself to do it and actually pay more attention cause I know the risk when driving, but after having been almost taken out by a couple of soccer mom vans over the years cause that fine dog wasn't paying attention while chatting to whoever on the phone and merging almost right into me. Still I'm not too comfortable w texts, red lights are ok for those at best, but driving is definitely a nono even if you type super fast, it requires too much motor skill focus. But just like making a DUI a felony didn't end drunk driving, not even close, banning or not banning texting won't keep people from doing it.
There is one saving grace here, they may take away our internet freedom in their legislature, but they are far too stupid to enforce it, I'd still say there is a bigger pool of unorganized talent in the states than in a place like china. Still this can get scary, the talent might just *shock* go to another country. Seems like since Bush, a lot of people are starting to part ways with this country in favor of something like Europe (only some countries) and Australia. If it ever becomes "most people", the US is probably dead in the water as a world power.
I still can't believe they actually named the obvious "common sense" into a programming model. I've seen a project go from waterfall to agile in its dev cycle and go from abstract to relatively meeting business needs through the communication. I don't know anybody that can devise a complex system on paper and factor in for all the little sutleties that require decisions from the system creator as well as compensate for the business practices. It's just a fast track to getting overwhelmed fast when using waterfall for anything large. Having been in IT on the receiving end of the agile process (giving direction), it is quite annoying, lesson learned though:)
Yep pretty sure us Yankees invented the concept, along w the personal computer and the internet, shame some of us are getting schooled on it, a glimpse into American decay? Or the start of a security renaissance?
I am confusing Iran I will admit, doesn't make much difference though, I wonder how many other people differentiate it though. I didn't know comment score on slashdot determined one's belonging here OR that your opinion mattered to anyone. I guess its fair to say you don't matter to anyone and comment score DOES NOT determine belonging. There's a hole somewhere for you to go crawl in.
How exactly does Iran plan on reverse engineering this drone, do they even have an aerodynamics research lab? How about something besides an oil rig and a desert?
I mean, it's pretty obvious they said they hacked it when it just went down, so obviously they lack the hacking capabilities to intercept a drone's encrypted signal.. along w the rest of the world. But seriously, this is not a region of the world known for its technological advances or for making a single contribution to aerodynamics, well ever. I highly doubt they have the ability to do so, much less actually make another one lol. They can outsource it I guess, but I bet the moment that drone leaves their soil, it isn't ever coming back.
This is what happens when a bunch of oldfags try to get together and dictate how people do things. Thankfully its just a suggestion, one they didn't think through very much. Then again, what has come out of DOT that's positive in oh say the last 20 years?
So if I am following your logic, your saying something like the generation of the 20s and the generation of the 60s were the same in their politics? I'd have to say I disagree lol.
You can grab a build w/o the feature, build it ??? no more opt out. '
I can't help but compare the ethics of this case to that of firefox's and that's because we use it for free, what I learned from those threads is it's free, use it if you like, we aren't forcing you, you can bitch but you get no say in the features so just accept it. This seems to be the new open source standard, there is no more reliability in open source ethics at least on the windows side (never was much to start).
You can also use noscript in reverse and that is "allow all permanently" I believe and then block on a per website basis everything you don't know / want that website to access. So in this case I would blacklist google-analytics.com ONLY ONCE the first time I can across it, but something like 3cxxn.net, 3czxn.net, I'd have to blacklist individually also. This is why the reverse approach can get cumbersome, it's really [0-9][a-z][a-z][a-z][a-z].net that's running on the ad server probably. 100% depends on the websites you visit.
Lol, ya, it requires patience, if you keep browsing new websites say as with stumbleupon, your best bet is to temporarily disable it for your browsing session. If your like me and 90% of your browsing is done between 19-20 websites, I add exceptions for those websites and sometimes for the stuff that the website runs in the background to make it work. The last part is tricky and 99% of the time I just toggle the exceptions till it starts working, to test functionality I do disable all temporarily on this page and then block them 1 by 1 if the reverse method doesn't work. The end goal is to wind up with a whitelist of ONLY & ONLY what you use, that way if youtube decides one day to start spamming the shit out of me via browser, I'll never even notice unless it's coming across as the domain "youtube.com" and you'll notice ads almost always come from 3rd party domains.
P.S. I'm sure you can do something like read the page source and correlate it to what you need to unblock based on the red x's on the page, but I'm wayyy too lazy so I just experiment till it works. Common sense is your best friend here I guess.
P.S. #2 I've been using noscript a while now, and one thing that has never landed on my white list is google-analytics.com , I'll continue using it if only to subvert google's data mining. But seriously, it blocks 23423432 other things I don't care for as well.

still an updates server and streamed SC matches, a heavenly step above your standard fair.

The article fails at describing SOPA and is super vague in most of its descriptions.
Better description
Tinted film also adds a basic advantage in that it's difficult to see inside the car to begin with in terms of making out individual objects.
