Guns have been easily available in the U.S. since well before your grandfather's time. In the '50s nobody went crazy and started arresting kids for playing cowboys and indians on the playground even with all the fingers (and cap guns) going BANG BANG.
Oh come on. Maybe insulting is commonplace on/. but I'm not into that. I'll explain. Porsche also has a horse in its logo. So let's assume you knew that. Then your comment was funny because you could follow it up with "Ah, bad luck there too!"
My 996 Porsche 911 Turbo had steering wheel angle, yaw rate and lateral acceleration sensors and could brake each wheel independently. It also had a viscous coupling in the center diff to keep up to 90% of the power to the rear wheels, only giving the fronts as much as they needed. The 997 model introduced an electromagnetic coupling for even more precise control (and the ability to run different diameter tires). Even in a 50 MPH slide with all four wheels spinning, that thing would go almost exactly where you pointed it. That feeling is one of the finer things in life.
I didn't RTFA, but I don't see what Ferrari has done here that Porsche didn't have 9 years ago.
But they didn't deliberately deface anything - they left a plug out of a tank, which leaked contaminated water at a rate which may not have seemed significant. They seem to have made good on the cleanup. Intent matters - that's why we have murder and manslaughter.
It's still negligence, contrary to the AG's statement “There was no intentional, reckless or negligent misconduct by XTO.”'
I'm sorry, but the 5C is $99 on contract, which is similar to many Android phones that are better. In addition, the off-contract price is $599 (CAD) for 5C 16GB... how is that a "cheap" phone? The nexus is, what, $350? Give me a break.
Depends on the apps one has already purchased for one's previous iphone/ipad and if one would have to repurchase them if switching to a nexus (or other).
I'm with you. The iPhone is just getting too damn small for my 2000 year-old eyes to see anymore. Make it bigger FFS! Stupid kids...
That was the good thing about the original iPad - that it could be hacked into being a phone.
Annoying as hell that the newer ones cannot just to force us into buying two devices from them instead of one. Has me considering other options for sure.
Actually, it is stored there. The A7 includes a cryptographic module with non-volatile RAM that stores the data needed to authenticate the fingerprint. It works the same way a smart card works. It has a "store" function and an "authenticate" function built into the hardware. There is no "read" function so there is no way to get the data out without some serious and destructive forensics.
Or a fingerprint lifting kit for dusting the outside of the phone...
The kind of chemical weapons used so far are pretty easy to manufacture locally.
As for civilians, you do realize that for many of them the choice is basically whether they want to be gassed or have their head sawed off slowly with a knife? Did you see the YouTube clips that rebels themselves shoot of their executions? The cannibal FSA commander?
Okay but Russia sells them most of the rest of their weaponry -
Agreed for the civilians. It's a lose / lose for them at the moment.
It is possible that no one in Assad's forces is responsible. This is a multiparty civil war in which it is quite possible that one group has gained access to these weapons to have a plausible way to strike their enemies and blame the attack on another enemy which is their enemy.
It is also possible that there is no civil war at all in Syria and that this is all a big tourism building publicity stunt.
IANAL but IMHO words are only one form of communication and any action that communicates, regardless of the actual mechanism of communication, could be considered a willful violation of a gag order.
You are mitigating risk, you are not eliminating it. You can go to the absurd extreme or do less, like running your wallet through TOR for example. The idea here is to minimize your exposure...but the very act of using Bitcoin is risky, so you have to make choices based on risk factors.
Obviously but...how does that contradict what I stated ?
Just generate a new address whenever you buy illegal things if that's what you are into, or have several wallets that you rotate between to perform your transactions. If you reuse an address over and over again, of course you can be tracked. The safety factor is directly proportional with your ability to understand how this works and how you can be tracked
The weakness isn't the bitcoin address as such - it's being able to link that bitcoin address to the buyer. You could have any number of bitcoin addresses but if they're all (or partly) tied back to you...via your bank accounts for example, then you're just as fucked.
A cryptocurency where everyone has a record of every transaction can be used to find a transaction between twoknown addresses? Is anyone surprised?
" the reporter for Forbes began by giving Meiklejohn a Bitcoin address associated with Forbes' account. But with just that information, Meiklejohn was able to draw on a "clustering" analysis she had performed to identify Silk Road addresses"
They had only the buyer's bitcoin address. The rest was extrapolated.
This eliminates privacy for any transactions made from a bitcoin account funded via a normal (ie government monitored) bank account, which is one of the main reasons to use bitcoins to start with.
It's a bit difficult to evaluate how 'harmful' the 'heavy use of 'creepy stuff' pornography' may have been to you or, conceivably, to others who might be the subject of your sexual interest without knowing what the 'creepy' aspect of it is. You state that there is a 'negative undeserved stereotype' and perceived danger thereof without stating what makes it 'creepy' - while you want acceptance you do not state your case in such a way that it could be possible to accept whatever it is that turns you on that is so unacceptable to others. For exactly the same reasons, the qualification of your sanity has to remain in doubt relative to the reality that the rest of us live in.
In any case, one has to wonder if you would have been interested in 'creepy stuff' if you hadn't found it online to start with - and even if you were, if it would have been as strong a factor in your life as you continued to develop or if you would have developed more in line with others who did not access whatever it is that you accessed during your 'formative years'.
Living in South Korea (not North Korea, but the actual democractic South), and they're censoring stuff like crazy, and not just porn. Websites like Fark.com can't be accessed at the PC rooms, and I assume that's only going to get worse. If they follow suit with the UK and eliminate access to VPN (the current way to deal with the censoring), what are the ways to deal with this?
(PS: I'm not technologically literate -- it was a real coup just to get VPN working in the first place.)
Paypal froze Notch's account after Mincraft went gold and began selling. Supposedly in just one day he managed to get over one hundred thousand dollars in sales which prompted paypal to freeze his account.
This is thanks to the US patriot act, bank secrecy act and possibly some other nanny state laws. Large transactions are red flagged and reported. The owner of the account must provide an explanation of what they are doing with the money. This is one of those risk mitigation plans we were talking about the other day which helps the US government find the "bad guys". Eventually paypal will unfreeze the account once they learn the money won't be used for terrorism, drugs, racketeering or other boogeyman bullshit. I feel safer already.
Actually put this way, and after what's happened recently with the US going after bitcoin companies for money laundering...it actually makes sense for paypal to protect itself (from the government) by making a reasonable attempt to verify that the money passing through it is not obviously money in the process of being laundered.

And...what's your point?
"The boy is charged with terrorizing and interference with the operation of a school."
What's next? Arresting pre-schoolers who point a finger and go 'Bang Bang!!" ???
Maybe if guns weren't so fucking easy to come by the US wouldn't have to arrest kids for being kids.
Fucking idiots.

Ah I see!!
Guess I am ignorant though :-D
I'm guessing you don't know much about cars , but it's a fun remark either way :)
Your comment is offensive and so not really funny either way :-)
If it makes you feel any better, the Israeli government pinky-promised that they wouldn't use it for anything bad. And that's a PINKY promise, mister!
Right; I mean, it's not like Mossad has a reputation for being disreputable or anything...
And, one should keep in mind that Israel is basically the 51st state so It's not as if the NSA is sharing this data with foreigners.
48th state actually, as Alaska and Hawii were added after 1948

Put a little horse icon on it?
Ferrari built a car that could do 201 mph in 1987. Glad to see they're improving...
Yeah but was that 201 mph around a 90 degree turn ?
(joking of course)
How many of those grenades were toys?
A corporation's board of directors are legally responsible for the company's actions.
Failure to appear when subpoenas are issued will have serious consequences for the billionaires.
You can't just send a lawyer to represent you in a criminal court.
Forcing the people that run the company to show up in court will send a message.
And seeing them walk out again afterwards will send another message.
But they didn't deliberately deface anything - they left a plug out of a tank, which leaked contaminated water at a rate which may not have seemed significant. They seem to have made good on the cleanup. Intent matters - that's why we have murder and manslaughter.

I want some fucking heads to roll damnit!!
The fingerprint is saved locally and encrypted on the individual phone's A7 chip. Never goes to iCloud. Never touches Apple servers.
Evidently the fingerprint is also used to validate Apple store purchases which would probably mean it isn't going to be kept only on the phone.
iPhone backups, especially via the cloud, also raise some questions about where the key (or hash?) will be kept.
I'm sorry, but the 5C is $99 on contract, which is similar to many Android phones that are better. In addition, the off-contract price is $599 (CAD) for 5C 16GB... how is that a "cheap" phone? The nexus is, what, $350? Give me a break.

Agreed for the civilians. It's a lose / lose for them at the moment.
Russia most likely sold them the chemical weapons in the first place.
Probably offered them a discount on the next batch of biological weapons or something if they go along with this time wasting (deliberately) measure.
Win / win for Russia and a Win for Assad in that he gets the ROW off his ass for awhile and can keep beating on his civilians.
It is possible that no one in Assad's forces is responsible. This is a multiparty civil war in which it is quite possible that one group has gained access to these weapons to have a plausible way to strike their enemies and blame the attack on another enemy which is their enemy.
It is also possible that there is no civil war at all in Syria and that this is all a big tourism building publicity stunt.
Not very likely, but possible nonetheless.
Occam's razor applies.
