No, Obscenity is excluded so that parents and families don't have to deal with issues of trying to protect their kids from public displays and advertisements that include pornographic images.
Funny how your ideals don't match our reality. How many arrests under obscenity law have anything to do with selling or showing porn to children? When you have to fly porn producers from California to Pennsylvania in order to find someone they offend, what is the point of "community standards"?
Speaking of which, how is coaxing someone into a car with a piece of candy different than coaxing someone into revealing their password with a piece of candy?
I think that teaching this as a self defense class would apply to more than just computer crimes, being able to recognize when someone is attempting to socially engineer you into doing what you're not supposed to do is an extremely valuable life skill.
I'd like a camera mounted to a pole looking down from above and slightly behind my car so I can see what the hell is going on around me without having to constantly look over my shoulder when I want to change lanes.
There is a warning in the web2.0ish version, when you hit preview the first time after you've modded, it will give you a box saying you've already modded and continuing to post will undo your mods. You have to hit preview again to get the preview.
It only appears once, it only appears if you did not check "post anonymously" (note that this does not mean posting anonymously will not undo your mods, it will.)
I think his question being that if telstra owns the wires, how long before telestra enforces filtering on everyone using them, just like bell canada throttling the users of ISPs reselling bell canada lines.
Everyone who uses chrome probably did what I did and ran out to install the extension to see what happens on slashdot.
Answer: it breaks the fuck out of slashdot whether it's in active, passive, or standby mode, pretty much all of the 2.0ish stuff like replies and opening comments ceases to work (everything opens a new page).
Uninstalled it and now slashdot is back to the normal level of brokenness. Apparently whatever it does to "inject" all this stuff needs just a little more work to make sure it doesn't disturb the javascript that is already there.
Like what? "We took the wrong server and had to turn around and go back" so they just take everyone's server just to be sure? It's bad enough that they shoot granny when they do a drug bust at the wrong address, now they should shoot every granny on the block to make sure they got the right one?
Their warrant was for specific servers, they requested the information on which servers to take, they were given the information on which servers to take, they ignored it and took everything.
On the other hand you probably build a heck of a server and perform backups with the best of them.
You take backups? Uhoh, that might be evidence. Better seize all the backups too.
Yet another argument for coordinated raids. Why steal just three racks of servers when you can have your guys steal three more from the other side of the country?
They're not suing for damages, they're suing for what is basically an injunction. The courts see "please don't let X hurt me" as fundamentally different from "X hurt me, please make him pay".
A media distribution system, comprising: a media file database configured to store media files, wherein one or more of the media files have been compressed prior to storage in the media file database; a computing device configured to receive user requests for delivery of the one or more of the media files stored in the media file database, the computing device further configured to: identify average network throughput between computing device and the requesting users; and route the user requests for delivery of the requested one or more media files to a distribution server capable of servicing the user requests based upon at least the average network throughput; and a distribution server coupled to the media file database, the distribution server configured to simultaneously deliver a single copy of the requested one or more of the media files identified in the routed user requests to the requesting users in less-than-real-time, wherein the distribution server automatically adjusts delivery of the requested one or more media files to the requesting users based on current average network throughput between the distribution server and the requesting users.
Bold parts most important. Note that the "device configured to receive user requests for delivery" must also "route the user requests for delivery". In the bittorrent protocol, the client makes the decision on which peer to make a "request for delivery" to (from the list provided by the tracker), and the peer they request the file chunk from does not "route the user request".
Sadly, our court system has reached the point where defending against such a blatantly invalid use of the patent would still cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, so it would be easier to close up shop than to prove fundamental operation of the bittorrent protocol is not even close to the claimed patent.
User selected to buy WoW, ergo user selected to receive WoW update files.
Makes as much sense as the guys waving around a patent for "user feedback" mechanisms going after Apple devs for in-app purchases because clearly buying something is providing feedback to the developer.
Actually, it's tied to the login process, logging out and back in triggers the updater. As for why, I'm guessing that it's because there's no central repository that can be checked periodically, and people whine and moan about having a half dozen executables sitting around and doing nothing but checking for updates. I've got computers at work that have programs in the background for Java updates, InstallShield (several programs use this), Apple's updater, Adobe's updaters and Google's updater, all on top of Windows Update whenever it runs.
Also assuming only brown people come here illegally is a sure sign of stupidity and racism.
And short memory. The entire furor died down back when they caught that hot russian spy woman and everyone realized that white people like them could be accused of being illegal too, and realized white Americans don't really carry around anything that proves their citizenship. Now everyone's forgotten about that, and the calls for people to carry their papers are coming back too.
There is no such thing as atheistic ethics no such thing as 'right' or 'wrong' without God, because that implies laws that extend beyond what physically exists.
Why should the laws of man extend beyond what physically exists?
there can be no valid argument from a non-religious standpoint for or against a law.
Circular reasoning. You have declared only religious arguments to be valid, therefore only religious arguments can be valid.
Consider, for instance, that I consider someone stealing my wallet from me to be wrong because it decreases my score as measured in dollars. From this measure springs forth nearly the entirety of Property Law, without having to resort to the Ten Commandments.
Stuff like this is like infrastructure, the private companies will wait until it is completely disintegrating then try to get someone else to pay for it instead of spending money that could better be used for bonuses on capital improvement projects. ICD-10 was finished in 1992. So we're not stuck in the 70s, we're stuck in the 90s.
It doesn't help that all the private insurance companies have hitched their trailer to Medicare and do "whatever Medicare does", whether it's with regards to pay (doctors tell me that almost all private insurers pay a set percentage of whatever Medicare pays, which is why they're scream so loud every time Medicare cuts come up) or whatnot. At this point it doesn't take a law for the feds to "mandate" anything, if Medicare does it, monkey see monkey do.

Just a state may place limits on buying alcohol, pornography and cigarettes
None of which are protected by the first amendment, BTW.
Chrome, Opera and Safari are similarly lacking

If the cops are too stupid to take one server from a rack, what makes you think they'll be able to figure out this signed VM state image thingy?
they probably avoided a number of grievous errors

The money isn't in using the TLD yourself, the money is in buying the TLD then reselling it to spammers and phishers.
That's what I'd do if I registered .c0m, anyway. Why dirty my own hands if someone else is willing to pay me to let them dirty theirs?
They're not suing for damages, they're suing for what is basically an injunction. The courts see "please don't let X hurt me" as fundamentally different from "X hurt me, please make him pay".
That's ok, griefers will probably kill off most of the TV cast anyway ;)
Nobody ever bothers to actually link the thing, so here is patent 7,301,944.
The only independent claim is:

A lot of the ones I've seen come up appear to be straight copies of wikipedia articles (sometimes even crediting wikipedia).
that's for violent felonies
He raised his voice, that makes it verbal assault, and assault is a violent crime.

The short of it is suicide is and should be illegal because it is immoral , if you don't believe in morality
I believe in morality. I do not believe in YOUR morality.
The Feds needed to mandate this to get it done?
