The only time the word "securing" appears in the Constitution is "securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings". "Threats" and "abroad" don't appear either. Try again. Here, have a link to the United States Constitution.
Can you point to the article in the Constitution that gives the government the power to demand facebook passwords from people?
The constitution doesn't apply to non-citizens or citizens. It is an exhaustive list of the powers of the federal government, with additional notes on things the federal government cannot do.
Also keep in mind that "said computer" is the computer RECEIVING the request for data, not the one requesting the data. IE something on Netflix's end has to receive requests from one or more user interfaces and transmitted to a computer (which creates a task log of incoming requests, stores all data necessary for executing duplication, and take the required data from the storage and transmit it to an output device, which is then commanded to output the data to blank media) that sends the request to an output device and executes the duplication process.
I suspect that the troll is trying to claim that when I download a movie from Netflix, *my* computer is a "said output device" and/or the internet is "blank media". With either of these translations, I don't see a thing in here that any webserver+IE 5.0 didn't do on windows 98 (except for the bits about printing labels, though I bet you could with Avery's website back then). If there was any sort of DRM or even simply a customization step worked in here then you might be able to claim it is unique to how Netflix writes requests to my "output device".
That said, I certainly don't want to spend a million dollars to convince a court of that, and even in the off chance that the judge finds this claim so bullshit that they award attorney's fees, this "Blackbird" company is probably nothing but a paper corporation with one patent, the PO box, and a google voice number, and spends 100% of the income on lawyer fees.
The doctrine of equivalents is a giant flaming pile of bullshit. If the guy wanted to file a patent for saving to a computer and not blank media, he should have done so.
What really should be done is that if someone invokes the doctrine of equivalents, whatever they claim is equivalent is now grounds for a prior art analysis, and if prior art can be found for downloading an encrypted copy of a video to an "empty area of an already-formatted and currently-in-use media", then the patent is invalid completely, since they made the claim that their patent is equivalent to doing that.
because.moe is a search site for anime streams that links directly to the legal stream options instead of serving as a pointless exercise in crying about pirates without helping either the movie companies or the consumers.

There's two levels of redundancy. There's "oh my god the database server is on fire! Promote the replicated server to master and failover!" which, depending on the database, should take a few seconds to perform manually. Testing automation for this (pull the plug and see what happens) depends on your setup and how long it takes your heartbeat to decide that the server is dead and how (If we shot servers in the head every time we got a DDoS, we'd burn through servers in a few seconds, it takes more than one failed connection for automation to decide the server is down).
Then, there's "oh my god the datacenter is on fire!". This is what people usually call "Disaster Recovery". One dead server isn't a disaster when you have failovers, but when your entire datacenter is dead, THAT's a disaster. It's tough as nails to automate too, since without having at least three datacenters, it's inherently a split-brain issue. If Datacenter A stops responding to Datacenter B, which one is actually down? If you aren't an AS and can't just republish your IPs at Datacenter B with a BGP routing change, that means you're going to have to publish new DNS records and wait one TTL for everyone to see them. If you had an authoritative DNS server at Datacenter A, then hopefully it was able to recognize that its down and shot itself (or at least updated its zone files with B's IPs) or you can somehow get to it and kill it, otherwise when Datacenter A comes back online, it'll be serving up A's IPs again and conflict with the other DNS server. This also is setting aside replicating your data between datacenters and how much of that is lost when you switch back and forth.
This is the country where you get arrested for chewing gum and not flushing the toilet and the death sentence for drug possession
What's corrupt about that? Corrupt would be if the rich could buy indulgences for their chewing gum, or they were paying people to gun down suspected drug dealers without a trial. You can argue whether these laws are a good idea, but if they're applied evenly and properly, they're not "corrupt".
No, but apparently I did disable "get tips tricks and suggestions" like one of the other posters said, though I don't remember doing that and I'm not sure I'd have found that setting at random what with the complete and utter pile of garbage the win10 settings screens are. Or maybe it shipped to me with it off and to her with it on?
A while back some troll here accused me of being an idiot because the windows 10 upgrade installed with "Use accent color" turned off and I complained that it was impossible to tell which window was focused because they were all the same color. Looking now, it appears they renamed that setting to "Use color on title bar" to explain what exactly that setting was supposed to do.
I suspect that Microsoft has a huge amount of A/B testing going on. 50/50 chance your browser gets reset and the 50 that don't go out and blame the 50 that do for screwing it up somehow.
My coworker and I both ended up with the win10 home version after the 7 to 10 upgrade. She regularly gets popups when launching Chrome about how secure Edge is, I have never gotten one.
If you hate unions so much, why didn't YOU sue to prevent drivers from unionizing? I assume that you don't employ drivers, therefore you've got exactly as much standing as a company like Uber that doesn't employ drivers.
Uber's response is pants-on-head retarded for a company that is trying to insist it has no employees. Their correct course of action would be to absolutely ignore everything this "union" does, and continue with whatever click-through agreement that drivers agree to in order to drive for Uber, because without employees, there is literally nothing the "union" can do other than whine and beg their members to quit driving for Uber.
Eh, if the trade sanctions go away, Cisco and other American companies would love to sell Cuba a great firewall of their own, as long as Cuba can pay for it.
Since 99% of the cost of providing service is the trenching, this will make the market far more competitive.
Citation, please...
Just so you can get the correct citation, do you want the costs of wiring with the government seizing a right of way for you, or costs of wiring if you have to individually negotiate with every property owner whose land you are going to dig up?
Here's a fancy little equation from 2011 that doesn't include buying the property, and is just the cost of installation, not maintance or upgrades: cost per house = 3072 + 13365*(houses/mile) - 0.8867*houses + 25.04*frost_index + 17700*wetlands_pct + $1376*soil_texture + 165.40*road_intersection_frequency That equation is "rural" installation, costs are probably way higher in an urban environment where you have your choice of installing everything under the sidewalk the entire way or everything under the street the entire way. Suburbia is going to be a mix of the two.
I blow people's minds with Alt+Tab on a regular basis, and I'm not talking about grandma, these are people fresh out of school who I guess never learned anything past launching an app on their iThing.

Yes, it's legal in the US to not hire people who are not entitled to work in the country.
If Congress passes (and the President signs) a law changing who is entitled to work here, then the employers must also deal with that.

Regarding my note from earlier this morning... So I just received a brand new win10pro PC from dell to set up for work today.
The "use color on title bar" option was turned off by default, and all the windows looked exactly the same.
No, but apparently I did disable "get tips tricks and suggestions" like one of the other posters said, though I don't remember doing that and I'm not sure I'd have found that setting at random what with the complete and utter pile of garbage the win10 settings screens are.
