    And then governments get the notion to sue, which of course raises messy issues of jurisdiction, discovery, &c.

  13. Re:Major source of privacy loss on Google Releases Glass Kernel Source Code · · Score: 1

    Do keep in mind the the Constitution is a set of constraints binding the federal government.
    Except where otherwise tweaked by law, private companies have a great deal more leeway, e.g. refusing service and escorting you off premises if they don't like what you're saying.

    Protip: if you're really concerned about privacy, you stay in the medieval 'root' cellar and have no education except by dead tree books, transact everything in cash, and never get sick.

    If you do a pattern somewhere on the keyboard with alternate raising/lowering of the SHIFT key, you can balance all but the most asinine password regimes with the capacity to remember them.

  19. I understand the point of DRM on Ask Slashdot: Are There Any Good Reasons For DRM? · · Score: 1

    But, like all attempts at legislating morality, it's doomed. Just doomed.
    I get at the point of DRM when I say, "Check out this Joe Satriani!"
    The kid says, "Hey, that's cool, let me rip that."
    "Dude. We've got to keep Joe Satriani in guitar strings. Let me give you this. I'll buy another copy."
    This is an example of busting somebody's chops in a positive way. The focus is on the artist, not the fact that the kid's nascent grasp of economics is both immoral and a threat to the market. Better still, there isn't a godforsaken politician or lawyer in sight.

  20. It just has a bit of a creepy vibe that's hard to ignore.

    I'm not saying that Google itself would ever out-Huxley Huxley, but the possibility of some governments out-Orwelling Orwell is undeniable.
    Of course, technology is a honey-badger affair. When the've integrated Google Glass with ">Silhouettes, there won't be any way to tell who's the Great Big Little Brother, and who's the simple colleague.
