Only if you're in Law Enforcement, in which case the de-facto law seems to be: Do whatever you want, but be sure to have at least a flimsy excuse ready if you get caught. Otherwise we may have to sentence you to a few months paid vacation to think about what you've done.
In short, cop lets his K9 partner slowly roast to death in his car while he takes a little vacation. Oh wait, I mean "the dog somehow let herself into the SUV while he was away for the weekend." Totally not his fault, not even a stern finger-waggling was given.
I feel like I should be outraged at this wiretapping article, but I find I'm merely unsurprised.
Everyone "knows" animals, whether what they "know" is that animals are dumb, instinct-driven automatons or intelligent, emotional beings. Rigorous, unbiased research is good for providing a baseline of information with better reliability than "just knowing." After all, assuming that animals share no emotional or cognitive parallels with humans can be just as error-prone as assuming that they're "just like us."
When you have a really smart one for a decade it's like having a furry kid in the family.
And then shortly after a decade they go and die on you. Really inconsiderate of them.
Disliking one side of an issue doesn't mean you have to join an opposing one. It's actually possible and even permissible to be against more than one viewpoint.
If only more people would realize this, Skub wouldn't be such a problem.
I've yet to find a player I like as much as wxMusik, which is abandoned, sadly. It handled every music file format I cared about, the shuffle function was intelligent, and it had a decent library management system and a database--an actual database, which accepted SQL queries if you liked.
Birds judge distance by parallax. One of the side effects is that something moving fast but at just the right angle to their own flight appears immobile to them. It's more up to chance of vectors intersecting the wrong way than any particular individual being stupider/less fit than another.
I also wouldn't call a car "natural" selection, though I expect you'll continue to do so.
It's interesting to look through your posting history and note just how many of your comments start off accusing someone of not reading/understanding your previous post. This may be a point worthy of introspection on your part, if your purpose isn't intentional antagonization.
I've no interest in battles of will. I made the points I intended concisely, and that's enough.
Big government agencies with huge budgets have no more computational ability than some random volunteer DBA with a handful of Leenoks desktops, and will never surprise us by being able to do things we thought undoable.
Yes, that sort of thinking has never come back to bite us later.
Conversely, bad guys all have amazing telepathic powers which permit them to instantaneously know the methods used to track them and take evasive maneuvers.
Data Laundering: The government circumventing the illegal search and seizure provisions of the constitution through the use of private corporations vast databases of information on all citizens.
Which is pretty much like saying, "I didn't kill that person, I hired someone else to kill him." It's still unconstitutional, but they've decided that pretty semantics make it ok.
If only there were some sort of computing device which could, with what one might call "programming," do all sorts of tedious analysis automatically for us. I guess it's lucky for us that everything still needs to be done manually by humans.
...looks like deriding the "Think of the childrens!" schtick has been done to death already, so I'll just mumble something about security through obscurity and shuffle off again.

An unrelated but vivid example of exactly the point you make:

'I wonder if I can swap out Chrome from Chrome OS or Mobile Safari in iOS.'
A more relevant comparison would've been, can you eliminate Paypal from eBay?

Time to declare a war on error.
A cat who didn't get his dewormer on schedule in '88.
No no no, the previous prez said it quite plainly. It's tourists who are the problem.

Believing in lies isn't necessary for telling them.
I think "holocaust" would be a more neutral, less emotionally-charged term.
A low-cut blouse and push-up bra always worked for me.
You caught him. Theo's actually a robot. Most of that electricity goes to feed him.

Openstreetmaps can't find a Starbucks in Seattle.
That's a feature. Seattlites know good coffeeshops from Starbucks.
Amazon.com often has an inferior search system to what old Demoniod had.
That there is a fine example of damning with faint praise.
Probably depends on how expensive a legal team you can hire.
"in Javascript" is a classic headline decorator at Slashdot, which it never outgrew, and probably needs to.
It really does. Netcraft confirms it.

Prostitution is just interactive porn.
A government could order human soldiers to shoot their fellow countrymen and they would likely rebel.
Kent State, 1970.
Police hate accountability, film at 11.
Oh wait, it's the cops who were part of this glorious defense of civil liberty? Yeah, I really feel bad for them.

Analyzing that much data takes a lot of analysts.
