In TFA, they state that, in the latter case, the accused was compelled to reveal his encryption key because he was recorded in a discussion where he talked about the encrypted [device] containing incriminating information.
In the former, the prosector's request was just a fishing expedition, so it was denied.
It is an unsettling distinction. Computers hold so much information about nearly every aspect of our lives, it really doesn't seem right that one piece of evidence allow that to be pried wide open.
Would a warrant be issued to tear apart your home if it was overheard that you had a doobie in your sock drawer or would they limit the search to your sock drawer?
Everyone ought to see TFA and look at this fedora-wearing douche opining on subjects in which he clearly has no practical knowledge.
As if browsers need to be an even more disarrayed kludge than they already are? Yeah, 5 or more browsers and rendering engines that all have their own unique languages and markups, great idea!
"My skills are worthless. I will be much more financially successful by abandoning my ethics, falsifying relationships for the purposes of shmoozing, siphoning the hard work of others and deceptively whoring my ill-gotten 'products' for the ultimate payout to live in luxury for the rest of my life without having to lift a finger. I got mine, fuck the rest of you suckers!"
Oh, and it *way* helps if you've won the genetic lottery and are born into connections as well.
I'm going with: whoopdedoo. Is it even possible to actually take advantage of LTE with SoC mobile hardware or typical network congestion? Even it is, what's the point if you hit your data cap after 5 minutes and get wallet-raped by your carrier?
I'm aware of exactly one regional carrier in all of Canada, and maybe one in the US that actually offer unlimited data in only specific areas, not nation wide (subject to arbitrary "excessive use policies" of course... so it's not really unlimited so much as it's "unlimited"). Everyone else makes a big fucking deal about one whole gigabyte and it's absolutely hilarious how anyone thinks that is any real amount of data in 2013.
No, it most certainly was Google who started upsetting the status quo. The Nexus line has always been available unlocked straight from Google, and for an extremely palatable price. Pop in your SIM card, no plan restrictions*, no contract, it just goes.
I will admit that HTC's One is proportionately well priced. They also get kudos for a big fuck-you plainly directed at AT&T.
* I have my Nexus 4 on a voice & text plan (no data) because I can wait until the next available wifi signal or until I get home to check this or that and I don't need to post every damn meal I eat on shitsagram. Yes, I'm aware that some carriers will automatically tack on charges to your bill for features you never even used when they detect your phone model from the IEMI. Fortunately, the government here still seems to give a modicum of shit about us, as we have specific laws disallowing any carrier from adding adding features or changing plans without a customer's explicit consent.
In not sure why anyone thinks this funny, because it's absolutely true.
No matter how much experience you have, there will *always* be that huge feature you initially thought would be a minor thing, there will *always* be those impossible-to-predict functionality hangups that take forever to solve and the client will *always* have "oh, yeah, and..." types of changes to the project requirements that completely alter the scope.
Anyone who identifies themselves as an "animal rights" activist or supporter to the degree of valuing them over human lives should be denied any and all medical treatments derived from animal testing.
After all, they wouldn't want to be hypocrites, right? Right??
I highly doubt it's coincidence. What is a bit baffling is why anyone thinks it's necessary. It appears that everyone did their job properly, citizens were vigilant without being vigilantes, no rights were violated and no one got hurt. Sounds like a win-win to me.
What's worrying is that after a single foiled event, some lawmakers are going batshit and scrambling to get it passed. Here's a little tip: any time a new law is proposed that would seek to remove certain rights to make a law enforcers job easier, alarm bells should go off in your head. Doubly so when the timing is suspiciously exploitative of a recent fear-inducing event.
My thoughts exactly. Perhaps it's time to bite the bullet and start running a solid Linux distro with a nice, gradual release cycle. Debian comes to mind.
I mean, you're spending tens of thousands of dollars on custom software anyway, there's no reason it can't be programmed for Linux at roughly the same cost.
I pay for Amazon Prime, all the the pilots are available for me to watch, and I'll bet some of them are great... but I'll probably never know.
The steam consistently dies in exactly the same spot a few seconds in. No, not buffering, just dead in the water.
My browser and flash player are up to date, no other sites have a problem streaming flash video to me. It sounds like a lot of other people are having similar problems, if Amazon's discussion boards are any indication.
Seriously, Amazon? These kinds of problems are sooo five years ago. If your actually expect this to take off, you need to get your shit together.
Reasonable copyright, 10 years, and only applies to commercial interests like it was originally intended.
Reform patent law to take an extremely strict view of any purposed patent and strengthen prior art thresholds (ie.: combining multiple existing technologies is not patent-worthy just because it hasn't been done before, the standard for obviousness is whether it would be logical for a qualified engineer), fund the patent office with taxes rather than the current rubber-stamp-for-hire process, can the incompetent schmucks currently staffing it and hire actual experts from various technology and science fields.
Reasonable drug policy that doesn't criminalize and lock up non-violent people minding their own business putting into their own bodies what they want.
Reasonable understanding of technology-based "crimes" that don't unnecessarily trump up charges because z0mg!!! compoooteers!!!
Reasonableness in general? Stop the creation of bad policy based on bullshit perceptions and knee-jerk pandering politics. Law should be required to meet some sort of scientific rigor before it's acceptable.
I guess I might was well also ask for unicorns and free Ferraris while I'm at it, because that stands no less of a chance than anything else listed here.

Seriously, no. Just no.
So, as usual, your skills are worth precisely dick. It's about whoever's vagina you were lucky enough to pop out of.

What is it, exactly, that Google didn't do? Offer 32/64GB capacities? LTE?
Oh, wait: https://www.google.com/search?q=Nexus+4+lte

Kind of like Slashdot editors have taken away my ability to read a summary?

Two words: seamless mode
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? Because I think you have.

All good reasons for shutting a highway due to weather conditions, but none of which justify arrest.
Anyone who believes ThinkPads are built well today never used one designed by IBM.
Yeah, who wants good build quality and keyboards that you can actually use for typing?
If how Lenovo shat all over the ThinkPad line is any indication, you'll be sorry if you don't abandon ship now.

if you, yourself, refuse to board a plane
I refuse to board an airplane, but for very different reasons that I'm sure are obvious to all of us.
Oh, and all this time, I thought they just picked letters out of a Scrabble bag.
Yeah, like I want to smell Tony Stark's sweaty ass after battle.
I thought, by definition, it was supposed to be good shit.
