I never will understand why some people feel the need to post on topics they don't have the slightest clue about.
A Core i7 emulator running on an Amiga, or on a Picaxe, is also not realizable in a practical way. Most certainly an Amiga is a computer.
The core functionality of a simple PIC micro is a few thousand transistors. IO is several thousand more. If they already have
gates with six transistors or so each, combining a dozen gates into modules and a dozen modules into a simple CPU is not a huge leap.
It's not a computer, yet, but it's a couple of incremental steps away.
You've explained why the agents SHOULD have gotten a search warrant allowing them to use the Stingray tool.
What they DID get was an order saying:
Verizon wireless shall provide to agents of the FBI data and information...
The order doesn't authorize the FBI to do anything, certainly not to violate 18 USC 2511. The order they got told Verizon to turn over the information that Verizon had. I agree, the tool they used is a useful tool. Yes, it's better than tower triangulation. They should have asked for a warrant authorizing them to use it. They didn't, though. What they asked for was "an order directing Verizon to assist the FBI by providing information, facilities, and technical assistance".
Perhaps the headline should have said "logic gates" instead of "computer". It didn't say "Core i7" either, though. Babbage's machine was a computer. Programing graphics processors with punch cards dates to the early 1800s, so "computer" doesn't imply a modern desktop.
I suspect you'd agree that any processor capable of running Windows is a computer. Therefore, any machine that can run a hypervisor, which in turn runs Windows, is a computer. You probably know where I'm headed - Turing machines. Any Turing machine can emulate a Core processor, and is therefore a computer. Wolfram's Turing machine requires only a few gates, so these researchers can probably build a biological Wolfram Turing computer today.
If you can only scroll up and down, through a long list, that's one dimension. Think single line LCD display. Compare to a standard desktop, where you can move the mouse up and down, or left and right (2D). Tbe display is 2D obviously, but if the navihation is just up-arrow and down-arrow, that's one dimensional navigation.
There was creep for 200 years, with the size government increasing a few percent most years. Then the size of federal government DOUBLED from 1995 to 2001. It's increased another 50% in the last few years. That unsustainable growth in the nanny state is new in the since the mid nineties.
(The doubling of government size is evident in the federal budget, which approximately doubled in constant dollars.)
Search warrants stipulate what the authorities are looking for and where they can look;
In this case the "what they are looking for" is information about the suspect's phone and the "where" is in Verizon's records. They instead peeked at other people's communications, by eavesdropping in the neighborhood. So they didn't stick to either the WHAT or the WHERE.
Additionally, they didn't get a search warrant as they should have, but rather a lower order telling Verizon to be cooperative insofar as technical assistance. They didn't even get an supeona for Verizon to turn over records, only an order to provide tech support.
It may be that they a request for a search warrant would have been granted, but that's for the judge to decide. The Texas judge mentioned clearly would not have signed a warrant without first adding specific limitations to reduce or eliminate having other people's phones intercepted. That seems to be the case fairly often - a judge will restrict a warrant to a very specific place, time etc., or ask for further evidence, rather than completely denying or approving the request as first presented.
That's a good point. Even if there were no such thing as promissory estoppel, so it didn't hold up in a court of law, Google is knowingly committing t this policy, with significant PR repercussions should they reverse course.
their motto of not doing evil
-pedant- It's "Don't Be Evil" (aka Microsoft) -/pedant-
We ALL do wrong occasionally, just because we're human and we screw up. For some companies, evil is what they ARE, nastiness is their core.
I'm assuming "our office has been working closely with the magistrate judges in an effort to address their collective concerns" as a PC way of saying "a bunch of judges are PISSED!". That's good to know. I know that the two judges I know personally would be pissed if DOJ tried something like this with them, but it's good to know these judges are as well, and action is being taken.
Promissory estoppel (you promised, so you have to stop) is enforceable at least in the US, AU, and UK. The consultations are a) a clear promise. ("We don't like to sue" is insufficient), b) reliance on the promise (we made this software knowing that Goog promised not to sue) and c) inequity (it would be unfair for Goog to sue when they promised not to).
In some countries, it can only be used as a defense, to have a lawsuit dismissed. You can't sue someone to make them live up to a unilateral promise. They say it's "a shield, not a sword". In AU, it can be used as a sword - you could sue Gopgle to force them to live up to the promise, or for damages if they don't. That means that an Aussie user could sue Google for damages if Google threatened to enforce the patent against some software on which they rely.
Aside from tbe legal terms, imagine you're on the jury. Google sues someone. The defendant points out that Google promised not to, essentially giving the defendant permission to use the patents. As a juror, how would YOU decide the case?
SD card stands for Secure Digital card. it's called Secure Digital because the card includes onboard circuitry to do encryption. That encryption hasn't yet been broken. It can be used either to passphrase protect the card, or for DRM on preloaded cards.
Most cameras don't have a keyboard to enter the password of course, so use an old phone as a camera. Some phones support locking and unlocking the card with a passphrase.
Slashdot normally has good answers for TECHNICAL issues. I'm amazed that apparently nobody replying sooner knew what SD stands for.
laser struck the pilot of the airplane in the eye multiple times and caused him to suffer vision impairment that continued through the following day.
That's consistent with what I know from having three lasers of various power levels. In some areas, readily available lasers are limited to 1mw. Online, you can easily order 50mw lasers, if you live in an area they'll ship to. So some readily available lasers are 50 times as powerful than what you might think of as readily available in your area.
Additionally, green lasers are about 4X as bright optically than red lasers of the same power. So his green laser may well be 200X as bright as your red laser.
It's easier to make a gun from only plumbing parts than to fit the metal parts to a 3D printed receiver. The plastic grip does nothing but make it look nicer. Heck, a fireworks mortar loaded with a rock could kill you and those are made of PAPER, so you really don't even need plumbing pieces - you can make a gun from a newspaper. (Indeed, a paper mortar better matches the military definition of "gun" than does a semi-automatic.) 3D printing changes nothing - weapons have been easy to make since bronze was invented
To look at it another way, CNC had the exact same effect - someone with a $5,000 tool could make a more professional looking weapon. Before that, metal lathes made weapon fabrication easier. Same with a dozen other tools. Why did we not hear this fear mongering about home CNC machines, or lathes, or forges, for that matter? Because until the least few decades most people had the basic tools of self defense as a matter of course. Yeah, anyone could make a gun in 1950, or 1900, but why bother? Just buy one at Sears. What's changed is the sissification of the culture. The technology makes no difference. The difference is that today we have a bunch of wussy girlie men who've never so much as held a pistol, and are afraid of what they are unfamiliar with.
It sounds like you have in mind rolling back to something very specific, something which is perhaps not a backup. What I'm talking about must certainly is a backup. I'm talking about rolling back to an offsite image made last month, last week, yesterday, or this morning.
How often would you do do complete backups of KDE? How many would you save? How much hardware would that require?
TFA says they have several GBs of data. Something like 89 GB. Since that's a rounding error to us, we volunteered to donate the necesary space. (EACH of our storage units for our backup service is at 14 TB, so donating 89 GB X 4 copies is nothing.)
You asked how often - most web servers we do daily. For their case, I'd probaly do the same as my desktop - daily off site, and four times per day lical snapshot.
A thousand times. (Unless online mirrors roll back
on
Too Perfect a Mirror

· Score: 1
A thousand times this. Say it with me - a mirror is not a backup. A RAID mirror is not a backup, a cluster mirror is not a backup, and a git mirror is not a backup.
Unless of course the mirroring system integrates rollback to earlier mirrors, something like Clonebox for example.
man can't have sex with a woman unless a woman also has sex with a man. So an 8% difference in male vs female butt fucking means either 1. There's a lot of man-on-man butt sex -or-2. There's a lot of men lying.
Or 3. the anally inclined women have had 1.08 male partners, on average.
Perhaps one reason all four of those justices ruled that the law is X when they would have preferred Y is because they aren't supposed to decide what the law SHOULD be. That task belongs to Congress. The Court is supposed to read the law and apply it, not make it up based on their own preferences. To the extent any of the justices voted against their own preferences I applaud them.
If you can do that, you'll revolutionize computing. No, doubling the clock to send two ticks to the gates doesn't count - the real clock is defined by the gate speed.
