And you snipped the part about the largest expansion of government as if DoHS and the TSA didn't matter.
As for the Patriot Act, why don't you ask Brandon Mayfield why he couldn't be secure in his own home?
I couldn't stop and help someone on the side of the road without possibly committing a crime: what if I was providing aid to a terrorist?
Then there were the NSLs, people who receive them couldn't consult an attorney. But even if they broke the law and did, since there was no judicial oversight, there was no way to contest it.
So if you wanted a multi-purpose robot, you'd have three hands: on the "one" hand you'd have a single-purpose attachement, on the "other" hand you'd have fingers for manipulating things which didn't have a matching attachment, and then you'd have the "gripping" hand...
Theres a bug in chrome that causes it to usually be unable to paste into slashdot's comment box once you've placed an < character in the box. (Slashdot, specfically. It does fine on all sorts of other sites with even fancier ajaxy textareas like the stackoverflow sites)
the banking industry will push back again and win.
If the banking industry gave a damn then identity thieves would have their heads mounted on spikes at the door of your local branch.
If the government outlawed SSL, they'd just shrug, scratch the $50 cert off their expense list, and move on with their life. It's not like they're the ones who pay when people use stolen credit card info or empty out your bank account.
So, who do you suggest I support when it comes to organizations protecting my rights from the government? The NRA only covers 1/10th of the Bill of Rights, what about the rest of the Constitution as amended?
If I flash my privates in house but have the curtains open and so anyone from the street can see, I cannot complain about people looking and might indeed be arrested myself.
And yet if a woman forgets to close her curtains and a guy watches her change, she's not the one getting arrested.
"Reasonable expectation of privacy" has come to mean "whatever is most convenient for cops". It's convenient for cops to just have a looksie in your windows. It's convenient for cops to go through your purse. Fuck rule of law, it's all about letting the cops do what they want, because laws against peeping in windows apparently does not give you an expectation that cops can't peep in windows.
“They had an idea of how the other person's gun would change the head of that person but that does not make them responsible for what the other person's gun did.”
Fixed that for you. It wasn't their program or their gun. If I walk in on a mugging and the mugger spooks and shoots someone, it's still the mugger's fault. The algorithm got spooked and fucked up, plain and simple.
I don't think it's a particularly safe assumption that they didn't get a warrant, in the hopes that an appeals court would overturn the requirement at a later date.
The ruling was because they were caught doing it without a warrant, not that they were begging the court "please please please can I do this without a warrant pleeeeeeeaeaaaaaasssseeeee"
Just like everyone else, the people in the government do as they wish and hope they don't get caught.
Not only that, but as a seasoned slashdotter he should know better than to bother with all this google and wikipedia junk and just go based off of the story summary, if not the title alone.
In the end it all worked out. The corporations jumped into the political arena and Target landed feet first in shit. I suspect they'll look before they leap next time.
Because nobody's founded the National Shuriken Association, and neither the Republicans nor the Democrats believe in founding organizations that protect ALL of our rights, not just the ones they feel are politically expedient.

What can't you do now that you couldn't do in 2001
I can't drink a bottle of water on a plane, you insensitive clod!
What part of "shall make no law" is so hard to understand?
The part that got thrown under the bus when the government defined away your right to petition it for a redress of your grievance.
If the government didn't silence you personally, you have no grievance.
So if you wanted a multi-purpose robot, you'd have three hands: on the "one" hand you'd have a single-purpose attachement, on the "other" hand you'd have fingers for manipulating things which didn't have a matching attachment, and then you'd have the "gripping" hand...

Google chrome is the new kid on the block, but is already at version 7... that's fast...
Hey neat, they fixed the bug where I couldn't paste into slashdot's textarea if I already wrote <i>
Oh damn, it only worked in the first textarea

Maybe he just dropped off a briefcase full of blank paper.
thus leaving them with defunct facilities, raped land, and a hefty clean-up bill from the EPA
I think you mean leaving US with these things, since the coal companies will simply declare bankruptcy and leave the government holding the bag.
Kid probably already broke off and ate the chin strap.
Too bad after listing all the apps and what permissions they requested, they never named which of them misbehaved, only total numbers.
They probably burnt a few of their own british flags back in the day, and had fun doing it.
I need a better bank, mine's only paying out chances of me not getting hit by lightning.

Note that in my post I didn't ask for anything.
Won't someone rid me of this meddlesome slashdot poster?
It seems like Alzheimer's research is progressing surprisingly rapidly.
Well of course it's moving quickly, this university's in a Rush.
Hey, the stupidity defense works for CEOs, so it's worth a shot!

I rated the article 4 stars because it used an interrobang in the article title, and that's just awesome.

I press B B B B B B B B B to act on getting one of them
And then it turns out the 6th B should have been X, so you get a kick in the balls instead.
