  1. Re:Wait, what? on Silk Road Lawyers Poke Holes In FBI's Story · · Score: 1

    They made up how they found out. In your analogy, the person following the script then went to court and *swore* that he set up Apache on his own by reading the manuals.

  2. Re:How does this matter? on Silk Road Lawyers Poke Holes In FBI's Story · · Score: 5, Informative

    It matters because it means the intelligence/evidence was gathered some other way, that the government doesn't want to admit to, and so they made up this story to cover how they supposedly found out this information. It's called "parallel construction", and it basically means that the NSA (or some other spooks) tipped off the FBI, whose job it was to come up with a plausible story as to how they found out.

    So you're saying the FBI made shit up? That's... that's... inconceivable!

    When oh when is Microsoft going to get it through their heads that people DO NOT WANT to run Office on tablets, plug-in keyboard or no.

    But it potentially COULD be perfect for a single app -- think nurses in hospitals tracking meds and blood pressures, people doing inventories, etc. One of these days, the right hardware is going to come out and people are going to start standardizing on it for simple data entry and checklist type operations.

    Some people cannot sing in tune. Most people do not need to be taught to do this, they can just do it straight away. If you can't sing in tune there is little point trying to be a singer.

    Tell that to Neil Young.

    At this point, mag-stripe cards are almost as old-coot-technology as paper money. We can't have nice things (chip & pin) because American industry is too cheap to upgrade infrastructure.

    No, the phone is shown at exactly right angles, and they're right, the lens is photoshopped out. Meanwhile, it's 1 mm. What is that, the thickness of 2 business cards?

    From your cited article:
