In a civil case, maybe. In a criminal case, very unlikely. People often confess to crimes and are found not guilty -- the burden of proof is pretty high. If the prosecution doesn't have a case without you revealing your password, your case will probably never see trial.
Right, because there's no difference between a car being *driven* on a designated roadway
You're right here. You are much more likely to hit something on a roadway than on some random spot on Earth. The planet is mostly water, and the small land areas are mostly unoccupied.
You are going to Starbucks to drink coffee, right? If you pay for the coffee with a gift card, you get the Wifi for free. Since you were there to buy coffee, and you didn't pay any additional money to get the Wifi, that sounds like it's free to me.
All the bright young things went into the death march that is Perl6 and CPAN stopped getting useful additions.
That's not true. There are still lots of people working Perl 5 and CPAN modules. Since you've last checked, we've gotten Catalyst, DBIx::Class, Moose, and tons of other useful stuff. Most of this doesn't even compare to what other languages are offering. If you use Python or Ruby, you basically get Catalyst (Merb), but you don't get DBIx::Class (AR is a painfully bad joke) or Moose.
There are also tons of other interesting projects being worked on by "bright young things".
Or modern, complete XML/Xpath support.
XML::LibXML
Or a DBI::CSV which can do joins.
There's more than one way to do it, of course, but just shove your CSV into a SQLite database (via DBD::SQLite) and enjoy having a real database instead of a text file. Of course, joins are very easy to implement yourself; I'd almost go so far as to use the word "trivial".
But anyway, if you want this, please write it an put it on the CPAN, then we can all have it. That's what's made CPAN so valuable.
However, it takes a great deal more work to set up than a simple sniffer,
Indeed. You have to press one additional key to forge SSL connections in most "off-the-shelf" sniffers. I recall doing this with ettercap many years ago.
The problem exposes online video content to the rampant piracy that plagued the music industry during the Napster era and is undermining efforts by retailers, movie studios and television networks to cash in on a huge Web audience.
Uh, the pirates were already uploading the full HD rips to Usenet days before the movies were even released. No pirate would want the shitty version Amazon is offering.
Apple can't really do anything if you disclose the rejection. I would never agree to an NDA like this, but if I was in this situation I would just tell Apple my e-mail was compromised and the "crucial trade secrets" were leaked. Oops. Don't send crucial trade secrets to a Gmail account unencrypted, idiots.
Anyway, Apple has clearly never heard of the Streisand effect. When will companies learn that you can't censor the Internet, even with LOTS OF CAPITAL LETTERS and lawyers?
Well, the data is not clearly yours. They could get it from the cell phone companies, who may be happy to violate your rights without a warrant.
If I was carrying around a pocket GPS device, of course the police would need a warrant to dump the history and have it be admissible in court. I hope...
Modifying existing ATMs is only one way to get magstripes/PINs. You could also build a box that looks like an ATM, add a card reader + keypad + clever software, and deploy it on a nearby street corner. You could even make it dispense money, if you were so inclined.
Agreed. I live about a mile or so from the Sears Tower, and have a clear line of sight to the antennae at the top. I still can't reliably tune most channels. My antenna is not tiny, either.
But it's OK, I would never watch broadcast TV anyway. I tried once -- they interrupt the show with commercials that are twice as loud as the programming every 5 minutes or so. WTF? Downloading the show is much easier -- full HD quality, no commercials. (And the show usually shows up on Usenet an hour or so after it airs. So there is no downside.)
Slashdot Mirror
They claim the porn sites they shut down featured "incest". How can you tell that from looking?
Oh, I get it... this is just something that sounds nice in sound-bite form.
Please allow me to introduce you to the words "BEGIN TRANSACTION".

Not in the US.
You're right here. You are much more likely to hit something on a roadway than on some random spot on Earth. The planet is mostly water, and the small land areas are mostly unoccupied.
Wow, your spelling is bad.
But ads aren't new. The 360 has bombarded you with ads for as long as I can remember.

Big object-oriented stuff, in particular, is just kinda painful.
Not really. I find it rather enjoyable.
Perhaps you have not heard of Moose.
FWIW, Adam (the other commenter in this thread) has written an excellent distribution called Strawberry Perl:
http://strawberryperl.com/
You should try it out if you are on Windows. If you're on some other OS, apt-get install perl or equivalent should do the trick.
Perl is the Perfect Emacs Rewriting Language, after all.
If I want to spy on everyone on the Internet, you're right. But if I just want to steal email from someone at the coffee shop, that's trivial.
But the point is, it doesn't matter what sniffer I have if you are verifying the authenticity of your SSL certificates.
Indeed. You have to press one additional key to forge SSL connections in most "off-the-shelf" sniffers. I recall doing this with ettercap many years ago.
This could be at, say, 3 in the morning.
I don't really care, though, since I won't be the one dying. I don't even have a driver's license.

There isn't much difference. If you don't want to receive e-mail, don't.
Yeah, free speech and unpopular ideas suck. I only want to see lolcats.

Over-the-air DTV works terribly.

I hope they are using WEP so I can get a free connection the next time I am launched into orbit.
Delicious.
This reminds me of the people that worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster to prove that mindlessly following a religion is stupid. Oh, the irony.
Wow, a blog said so! It must be true!
