Probably not. Odds are pretty good that the US and Canada have a treaty about that. Say an Air Canada jet had engine problems and landed at a private airport. Would it be okay for the owners of the airport to just keep it? The same treaties apply to in this case as say when a Russian pilot landed a Mig 25 in Japan. That plane was returned after it was inspected.... into little pieces.
Oh I am not saying that I like the TSA system at all. But to answer your question is that they can do it because it is legal. A law was passed and it has not be repealed. The solution is to find people to vote into office that will repeal it.
If you depend on feelings then you are not being rational. bias or in this case is extreme bais does exist. Your BS detector should go off every time you see a news summary or story. Here let me help you tune yours up a bit because you are putting to much trust in it right now My problem is with this " defamation for supposedly sullying the otherwise good name of a checkpoint smurf." 1. Was this person a small blue magical creature that lives in the woods and is chased by an evil wizard? 2. Did this statement add any factual information? 3. Did it try to push you to a conclusion or renforce a conclusion through emotion with no factual content. If one and two are false and three is true then your BS detector should be going nuts. That line was a clear class of manipulation IMHO. Heck I am not saying that the TSA agent is innocent of any wrong doing but no charges have been filed. The person that is making accusations own public statements have increased my doubts about her claims but do not disprove them. I suggest that you read the article and the accusers own writings that are available on the internet and see what you think. What I don't want is Slashdot or any news source trying to lead me to a conclusion. When ever that happens your Baloney detector as they say in skeptics magazine should go off. BTW If are are already leaning one way it is a lot easier to push your more in that direction. If you already dislike the TSA it is easy to lie to you about how bad they are and make you hate them more. Villains are big money makers it is a trick as old as time. But that statement was just so over the top that it is just shameful. Treat us like adults and give us the facts Slashdot and let us decide for ourselves.
He don't have to prove that Ms Alkon's claims are false you have to prove that they are true. The TSA agent is innocent until proven guilty. Has this agent had any other complaints? What is this person job history? This blogger is accusing someone of rape publicly. As much as people including myself do not like the way the TSA is run and the restrictions they have placed on us the individual agents are people just like you and I. Some good and some not so good but they deserve the same protections under the law as any of us do.
Or look at her Wikipedia entry. Here is a bit of a history lesson. Attack an unpopular group and you will get attention. The TSA is unpopular and not without reason, however this accusation seems to be a bit over the top. Thing is using insulting words without reason is wrong and adds spin. Did the smurf comment add anything to the summary? Did in add any factual information? Or did it and a slant and insult to the TSA agent?
Would you have had a problem if the summary had said that "A well known nut case that always carries a four day supply of salami is being sued for defamation by a TSA agent". Frankly someone that travels with a four day supply of salami at all times sounds like a nut case to me. Thing is that is inflammatory and biased. The fact that she carries a four day supply of salami is from a statement she made in an interview so it can be considered factual for the most part. The statement that she is a nutcase is just opinion. Calling the TSA agent a "Smurf" is just insulting and should have no part in this summary. Several of this woman's claims are presented in the most graphic and inflammatory way in the summary as well. I wouldn't have put them in the summary because they are just unproven claims and very inflammatory and graphic but they are factual in that is what she is claiming so I can see why they are in the summary.
No. No bias in the summary would have been this. ""TSA employee Theldala Magee has filed a lawsuit against a blogger demanding $500k in damages for alleging a particularly invasive search. The passenger, who likened the feeling to being raped, is being sued for defamation.
The added text was nothing but theater to get more clicks.
""Bias" is a term used by right-wingers when their poor widdle feelings might get hurt by factual criticism." So TSA agents are small blue magical creatures that live in the woods and are chased by an evil wizard?
You sir you are an idiot.
Thing is that after reading the link I do think that an investigation is needed. After reading about the person accusing the TSA of this behavior it is going to be a mess. Frankly she appears to be a wack attack with an agenda. Unless we have independent witnesses it comes down to who do you believe and that always gets really messy. I have no problem with the article it was the added dumb commentary in the summary.
Oh and I hear bias all the time about FOX News. Guess what I don't watch FOX because it is BIAS. It is nothing be extreme right wing crap. And are spouting nothing but extreme left wing crap.
I guess I find this a red hearing at best. 1. Power to Google is a cost of doing business they are doing all they can to reduce the their power consumption for no other reason the less they spend on power the more profit. 2. It is us that is using the power. It is kind of like people complaining about GM selling SUVs. They sold SUVs because that is what people bought. If people bought small fuel efficient cars then they would have made them. Rule one. Don't expect companies to make you do the right thing. Rule two. Don't expect a company to care more about something than you do.
Any plans or exposing some pads or even pins for Digital IO, SPI, and or I2C? Maybe even a few A2Ds? Such a device would be very handy for embedded systems. Things like weather stations, robotics, data logging and so on. Could be very handy in any science class room.
I was thinking why not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordova,_Alabama#Present_Day_Cordova Or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greensburg,_Kansas Or any number of other places. I love the idea of building a town from the ground up. I just hope that put in a trolly system. Up till the 1950s every major city in the US had a trolly system. Maybe get Google involved as well. What we are talking about is what EPCOT was supposed to be except Walt was going to have people live there.
"The current situation is Intel is slaughtering AMD" Frankly in the consumer space ARM is slaughtering Intel. The truth is that to day 90 of all desktops have more than enough CPU power. The most intensive thing most computers do today is playback HD video. Sure the I7 SandyBridge is blindingly fast but most people don't need the speed or the price tag. The new A8 and I3s show where the future is going. Fast enough with good enough graphics and low price.
There is some responsibility on the US governments part. But when someone breaks the law which is what happened in the original leak the responsibility is on the person that breaks the law. Yes I do not like wikileaks because they are irresponsible and there ideal is "We can do what ever we want". Yes if they should have done the research to redact it no matter now long it takes or how much it costs. If they release it un redacted then they are still idiots and evil ones at that. Wikileaks lost all validity when they posted the Apache video and called it Collateral Murder and then added inflammatory video at the beginning just to raise money. At that point it becomes propaganda and not news. Why would anybody be pro such an irresponsible group that spreads propaganda?
Ice cream sandwich will be a full source release. I am willing to bet that this will have the Amazon market on it as well as all the Amazon shopping software and video on demand. I would have gotten the Nook except for the lack of Kindle software for it. Now that I can root it it would be interesting except that my wife just got a 10.1 Viewsonic for the same price and rooted it. I know why BN wanted to keep all the purchases but I already had a Kindle so I wanted to keep my books. If I could have had Kindle software on there I would have then had a choice and might have been willing go shop at BN as well.
but really people do you think that the people that use emulators would buy atari retreads? Or worse do you think they would wouldn't buy a good new version of an Atari game? This is just a waste. Next they will go after Strella.
It is an interesting system except that the article summary didn't use it, but instead used the classical system. It probably is even a better system goodness knows that the current one is a bit flawed. But if you are going to use the classical system then stick to the classical system. If you are going to use this system then use this system. Don't mix and match and do not say that birds are reptiles just because they share a common ancestor! That is like saying humans are protozoans because we both shared a common ancestor.
"Maybe you are implying that Wikileaks should go through thousands of documents describing events that they are not familiar with and try to guess which information should be redacted and which information shouldn't without trying to enlist the help of people (journalists) who are familiar with these events. In that case I think you are the idiot."
Yea it is always a good plan to give sensitive information to journalist to help redact stuff.... I think you are a mindless fanboi. Wikileaks chose to give out un-redacted material to people outside their organization. That is stupid. Yes if they are going to decide what the world gets to see and take on this task they are 100% responsible for it. If they can not do that job and take the responsibility then the should stop doing it. How many other outside organisations got this material? Did Wikileaks audit their security or just trust them? There is an old saying. You can delegate authority not responsibility. Yes what Wikileaks did was stupid, and irresponsible.
Slashdot Mirror

Where you there?
So you know this TSA agent did this?
I guess you also don't believe in innocent until proven guilty.
Frankly I would take this all with a grain of salt. I am no fan of the TSA but this woman that is accusing them is a wack attack.

And the problem with this is?
There be gold in that there core! Stake a claim and start a digging! Yea Haw we're gonna strick it rich.
http://squeak.org/ from what I have heard is a great learning language. Would be a nice option to support.
A realtime Linux would also be nice to add into the mix. Some A2Ds would also be nice to add but you can do that with SPI.
"supposedly sullying the otherwise good name of a checkpoint smurf.""
Really? No wonder CmdTaco left.

Not really. I have done native compiles on a Strong ARM with 64MB of ram and running X. Not a lot of fun mind you but it did work just fine.

Pretty much fans are who will buy these and they will buy them out of love.
Same people that get the emulators.

umm. Do you think that just maybe that any prototype iPhone might just have GPS and 24/7 tracking of location turned on? Just maybe?....
Oh and to make my point. http://911.wikileaks.org/files/messages_2001_09_11-19_30_2001_09_11-19_34.txt
