I agree, zero-tolerance equates into zero-intelligence required. A young boy (7) was kicked out of a local school around here for bringing his brand new G.I.Joe to school. The crime? The toy had a 1 inch toy gun in his hand and the school had a zero-tolerance against any kinds of guns.
This always reminds me of the episode in V where the aliens rounded up all the scientific community under the guise of protecting humanity from their meddling views. Same thing going on here, fundamentalists don't want you investigating the how and why of things, they want you to do as you're told.
Yes but again they're searching for evidence of crimes with a warrant. That's exactly why they need warrants because they can't force the guilty into giving up evidence themselves. You can be coerced into giving up evidence on yourself but no one can make you take the stand and 'tell the truth'.
They can use the evidence you gave them, but they can't force you to give them more evidence which is what this is about. The argument is they're forcing him to decrypt more data under the belief it contains more illegal illicit material. If he gives them the key to decrypt he further incriminates himself.
He can't take back the evidence he accidentally gave him, but he should have the right to the 5th amendment and not further incriminate himself. They should make the case for what they have, or get a search warrant for the computer and attempt to decrypt the data without his help.
I just recently put in two 128Gb SSD disks in a raid 0 set. I set up a ram drive for use as/tmp and have/var going to another partition on a standard SATA harddrive. I changed fstab to mount the drives noatime so it doesn't record file access times. I also made some other tweaks pointing any programs or services that write logs or use a temporary cache somewhere to use/tmp. Its a software raid I use so I'm using/dev/mapper/-- as the device so I'm not exactly sure how to use the schedular, although I have set a line in GRUB that I think does it.
For me, Microsoft is so last century. They are not the problem
Sounds like Microsoft's got him in their pocket already. Ignore M$ but concentrate on their #1 target... suspicious.
I fail to see how google is a monopoly? Most people use google to search so most people want to advertise with google. Yet you go buy an off the shelf PC, turn it on and the default browser (IE) on the default OS (Microsoft Windows) already has a default homepage for you (MSN).
I just setup a new system for me so here's something for you to chew on. I installed windows XP on part of the raid array, I had to spend about 2 hours getting all my drivers put on my XP cd with nLite and still then when I was finally on a desktop I had to reinstall my audio drivers to get sound working.
I installed linux and when my desktop came up ALL my hardware was working flawlessly. Try it for yourself Elmer.
Maybe it's the point that linux has been doing things on the desktop for 10+ years that microsoft is just barely starting to implement. And most of that is just the eye candy, they still need to copy all the extra functionality.
All americans live in a socialist state. 1/4 to 1/3 of your work (that's 3-4 months a year) go toward things like SOCIAL security, Medicare & Medicaid (old people and poor people health care), and of course war.
Not all jobs are the same, I've worked at a lot of companies where I did not have root. My time is money, most of that time, mc is quicker for me then any of the above. Most of the time though, the above is not available. mc has value to me, and apparently to others, if that bothers you - troll elsewhere.
I am not a command line hacker - mc has always been a VERY important tool I install in just about every box I've ever set up.
Glad to see it's not forgotten about
As long as there's a real movie as well

I've never understood why it's done that way in movies, are they trying to dumb down things so the masses understand? Cause they still don't, it goes right over their head anyway.
I can understand some: the character is hacking into another computer, so masses can all understand the screen has to have in bright red flashing letters 'Hacking into another computer... complete!' but couldn't even non-techies read between the lines and derive he hacked into another computer from the scene. Other movie genres don't have to spell everything out.

Running only gives you a little more time. It'll spread everywhere eventually unless we start taking a stand.

If we spent 40 stadiums worth of money we could have it done in 5 years? What is the exact stadium price to oceanographic research conversion?
I love slashdot. You people always come up with the best little jibs. Fuck jones day dot com

I was trying to say that Walmart is part of the reason China is enslaved. Why do you think they can sell everything so much cheaper?
It's a good thing America got rid of slavery, well at least out of sight out of mind. No one hears the whip crack in Walmart, but it's cracking.

Can I opt out of this right now?
The last thing I want is fake spam. Just more junk email I have to download to get the messages I need.
I've always been interested in the Gaff character.
Like .. how does he make those wonderful origami? oy!
Also he has one of the best quotes from the movie, from any movie.
..Your ass will follow.
hence it will stay illegal :( Until we're all free people that is
I cook and eat my green ... so what now?
