I am in VA and on Ting, every time I had a CMAS weather alert my phone would do the annoying emergency alarm several times. One time there was a flash flood watch for my city and the neighboring county, that's 2 alerts, then it kept repeating about every 10 minutes.
Plus, it is a text message and character limited, so it is hard to put detail in. Links would be nice, but they take space, and lets face it, not all phones can follow links, even with smartphone penetration where it is.
Ultimately I turned them off due to annoyance. Of course one cannot turn off the presidential alerts. I presume I will get one of those when I finally get my Social Security check.
The bottom line is all of this should be a low reward CIVIL matter, not criminal, unless and until certain criteria are met. The primary criteria being that the infringer had intent to profit or defraud (note that I did not say that the infringee lost money, as that is so intangible and impossible to calculate as to be ridiculous, including huge penalties for small amounts of legal downloading.)
Also, it should be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the right holding party actually has rights to said content, as should be done for take-down notices, with penalties given for fraudulent use of take-downs.
As it stands we have private industry co-opting law enforcement to further their ends, by making civil matters criminal. If that isn't a sign that at least the legislative and judicial branches are bought and paid for, I don't know what is.
What if I have legally obtained, copyrighted content at home and stream it to my device in another location. It is for me only, but I am streaming copyrighted works in an unauthorized manner.
Does that make me a felon? (Not counting the number of laws I have inadvertently broken in this screwed up country).
The answers were mostly disappointing, and I thought he was more than a bit evasive when it came to any of the operational questions relating to editors. It's pretty clear to me he's quite fine with how the current lot of editors carry things out on a day to day basis. While the WYSIWYG editor is LONG overdue I think they are [[WP:MINOR]]deluding themselves if they think it's going to solve the dwindling editor issues.
FTFY, I don't think that you meant they were making themselves thinner by adding liquid.:)
I seem to remember about 10 or so years ago a bit of talk about diamond semiconductors.
IIRC, making P-type material was easy doping with boron, and someone had finally come up with a way to make n-type material.
In addition, around that time there were two or three startups looking to manufacture diamonds using various -cheaper- processes. The combination of these things was supposes to give is diamond based chips that, due to the incredible heat resistance of diamond, could tolerate much more heat and hence higher clock cycles.
Till some intrusive ad scheme like this is manufacturer/carrier baked into phones and difficult or impossible to turn off.
I can imagine shopping and having a paper clip pop up on my shiny new windows phone that states, "it looks like you are trying to copy queer eye for the straight guy. Would you like some help?"
I voted with my dollars that way because they were phones I could -afford-. I do not pay for 2yr contracts. I currently use ting. I cannot pay $300-$600 for a phone when something 60-120 does fine for my needs. Find me a supported phone with halfway specs (currently for me at least 1ghz and 1gb memory) for less than a Benjamin please.
I own 4 smartphones of various age. None are officially supported. They all have unofficial ports in various stages, but guess what? It's the camera that is normally broken due to no drivers from the manufacturer. This is a deal breaker for me as I use my camera for work daily.
But I um... thought... um.. it was good for.me to um..... have a what's the.word Jenny? A diet low is salt. I may not be smart, but I know what high blood pressure is...
Facebook and google+ may recommend possible people you may know, based off of degrees of separation, contact lists, etc. Most of the time I do not know any of the people they suggest.
If the NSA just reverses a similar algorithm, what happens when it says that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad may know me? Especially if I have access to centrifuges.
Then I have to prove a negative, that I do not know this person. All their evidence points to the opposite. "He was in New York at the same time!" (BUT I LIVE THERE) "Doesn't matter". "Your fathe'rs, cousin's, uncle's former roomate went to Iran as an exchange student", etc, etc.

And thought, man they really are spying on everything.

No Soylent Green jokes yet? Somebody.. please step up!

Does anyone know where this went?

I could see a troll mod for quoting Plath or maybe even Poe.
If I had posted something in Klingon about Uranus, it would probably be informative.
Fucking lack of unicode... grumble...

But it will end not with a bang but with a whimper.

I wish it were otherwise.
I beg to differ, it is stucking. It may even be jacktarded.
hodor?
OMG WTF?!?!? :-D [citatin ndded]
Wow.. since when is a Dune reference flamebait? I love ignorance.
Nothing good ever came from iX, or Richese for that matter. The Tleilaxu however... I need a few Gholas.
But I um... thought... um.. it was good for.me to um..... have a what's the.word Jenny? A diet low is salt. I may not be smart, but I know what high blood pressure is...
Try a led headlamp. Or just duct tape the flashlight somewhere.
..be signing up for beta testing. No thankee, even with a free ocean cruise and diving thrown in.
If neutrino CP-violation is found,
Then the LEA will be sending those sick neutrinos to prison....

This guy hack for only his own good and gets a year. Nice to know where our prosecutors priorities are.

What happens when a 'drunken' MBA cancels the service. Or a drunken admin deprovisions the wrong servers?
Maybe it was a step-brother that he didn't count as a cousin!
