They view it as a "collective right" whereas all the rest of the amendments are individual rights. Basically, _someone_ can own a gun, but just not _you_ for arbitrary and whatever reasons they want.
And, begrudgingly admit they don't like the Heller decision.
This speaks volumes for what and why they fight for things. They are not straight up "for the constitution" or "for rights" they are for "a certain brand of leftist rights" This is also why they will never get any money, nor any positive words from me.
The very fact that there was a court order and a big discussion over this issue demonstrates that "physical access = all bets are off and security is toast" has come a long way... and is about to go by the wayside.
With proper design and some encryption, physical access is not going to be good enough anymore.
I could be wrong, but I thought that Apple would have been compensated for their efforts in complying with the AWA-order? I don't remember anything about them doing it for free.
They might compensate Apple for the time and materials to get the job done.
What they won't do, is compensate Apple for the loss of reputation and loss of future sales they suffer because they cooperated.
Fuck Whiplash, just look at the number of articles with less than 20 posts.
Maybe listening to the whinging minority wasn't the greatest of ideas, eh? But hey, you are an 'entrepreneur', so I guess it's not your money that's is being pissed at the wall.
People..... PLEASE... just destroy all those stupid records and data you have policy/access to...
all they do is turn you into the DEVIL marking other innocents with your sin.
Except in this case, where the records led to the exoneration of an innocent man.
Exactly. Sometimes it's to the benefit of justice. Not often, but his instance would seem to be enough to justify it.
Do you really think "they" are working hard to exonerate a lot of people? That "they" are interested in justice?
How would that even occur? One would have to look through all the data for individuals any time there was a trial, discovery, or charging of a crime, let alone civil lawsuit. Nobody got time fo dat!
The government simply is not interested in making more innocent people, you cannot control innocent people with threats of legitimate or illegitimate violence (all laws are backed by that) if they are innocent. When was the last time a bunch of laws were removed?
The fact that this cold case sat this long is PROOF that the government and other "they" types don't use that data for justice. They would have found it decades ago if that were the case!
When someone says "technology is killing banks" what you really mean "bitcoin, the new technology for decentralization and cryptography is killing banks". Because that is what is already happening. It's real. Banks already know. Media is obsolete and is crumbling as well. They are not able to even grasp what is going on right now in the fintech world.
The most common reaction when a big change is coming is deny it. It is just what is happening now. Most people deny what is happening.
So bitcoin is here and it is moving forward everyday. A decentralized system of trust that lets people send cheap assets through out the world just with no more than a nokia 1100 in your hands.
Calm down there, Skippy. You're getting quite ahead of yourself. The average human still doesn't even know what a bitcoin is, let alone why it exists.
And those at the higher end of the IQ bell curve know it's a stupid thing to 'bank' on.
I can see the Amazon Prime ad stating, "People who are homicidal bought these guns."
That would be Google.
Amazon doesn't sell firearms (or advertise for them) or automatic knives and a whole bunch of other stuff... mostly based on if it's illegal in some state or other.
You can still get a lot of stuff the Feds don't want you to have though.;)
Yes, the typical fast food restaurant is full of machines that need cleaning.
But who's going to do this when the minimum wage goons are gone?
Are you really this stupid?
It will be two guys in a little white van that says "Carls Jr" on it that drive around and do these things, covering all the locations on the "west side" (maybe 8 or 10 of them)
There might be cameras and "manual steps" to take over a machine run out of Phillipines to fix minor glitches. That will be 8 people covering 120 stores corporate wide.
But in general, two moderately paid employees will drive around, clean, re-stock and troubleshoot machines. A regional tech group will be on call for big problems. There will be a dozen people per shift taking the place of three hundred droolers.
They could pay those dozen people 100k per year and still come out ahead.
On two separate occasions Facebook shutdown my fake name accounts, so I just don't use Facebook anymore.
That's wierd, I've never had any problem with obviously fake accounts on Facebook. Back when I played FFXI I had profiles for each of my characters without issue. I never did get around to making a real account, probably never will.
They shut down or "investigate" accounts after someone "outs" you.
If you don't get into heated arguments with others on Facebook, or never post things / pictures that get flagged by a human in the first layer of auditing they don't notice you. I.e. if you post a carrot that looks like a pussy, the low paid third worlder will flag it for a higher paid person to look at. If your carrots look like carrots, you never get that treatment.
Unless you also log into that profile (so their bots pick up the right cookie when you visit other places) they still have an "anonymous" profile on you.
Like it or not, industry standard is to open a new tab when going to a site run by someone else. This has been the case for the last 12 or more years.
Links in user comments should always have the target attribute set for a new tab or window.
Now days, using a bit more memory, and a teeny bit of screen space at the top is less offensive than the obnoxious load time of an ad-laden site. So letting that happen in an unused window is better.
There's room for argument on links between locations on slashdot.org, but for links to other sites... it should stay a new window / tab.
Consider a mission statement for stories and submissions.
Sit down with the folks that decide these things, have a meeting, and figure out what you want to cover. Write it down, hash it out, and maybe find some examples.
Along with that, look at past stories and decide which ones you don't want.
That could be the basis for accepting stories you want to have on the site.
It seems, as an outside observer, that a small handful of folks have learned how to type out a summary that appeals to the hind-brain of the mods that accept stories and are gaming the system. From my point of view, a lot of crap is getting through that has no place here. The SJW stuff has mostly stopped (thank you), but there are still obvious, literal, and blatant agenda-politically driven stories being submitted and then posted, some of which is outright lies and bad science. Some of these guys are churning out junk for what is obviously ad revenue on their blog sites or whatever. Go through a few layers, find the real article, don't link to Forbes, don't link to any paywall site, get a virtual red pen and send it back to submitter "NOT GOOD ENOUGH."
Perhaps this is a chicken and the egg problem, a wide variety of knowledgeable, literate and educated submitters aren't submitting... (which you need) then you have to rely on a small cadre of self-appointed bullshit artists that submit a lot of crap. But if there wasn't so much crap, then maybe you'd get better stories submitted.
I suggest finding a way to break out of the cycle. Don't let the same jerk submit the same shit with the same bad science 8 months in a row.
I can get political bullshit and conspiracy crap about chemtrails on just about any other site. I don't need it here. Having the same anti-nuke dickwad get stories that are _FALSE_ is just goddamn insulting to your readers.
A guideline, and then a bit more choosiness to fit that guideline that makes for overall more factually correct articles would help a lot. We don't need to know what that guideline is, but right now it seems like it's random, and as a result, a lot of crap is getting through.
Or, you could require recruits to pass a physical exam and the discharge sailors that get sick, leaving a healthier group than the general population. Not exactly magic.
This also depends on what type of heating you have.
I have electrical resistance heating. So leaving lights on, fan on, TV on, computer on doesn't make any difference in my bill at all. The heat generated by those items gets spread around anyway, and makes my resistance heater run a little less.
During heating season, a complete wash.
Summer on the other hand, I do turn stuff off more religiously.
I wonder what happens if you don't accept the end-user license agreement. Surely it must ask for acceptance before it does anything.
I just read an article yesterday which recommended exact;y this as a way to deal with the problem. Just don't accept the EULA and Windows 10 won't be installed.
You will be left with a bunch of wasted hard drive space if you do that. (Win 10 auto downloads before hand.)
What's to stop them from continuing to nag about it? Not accepting it once doesn't mean they wont ask again, and again....
Host files also cause issues when the domain is pointing to 127.0.0.1 A request is made, but there probably isn't an http daemon waiting on the localhost, which in turn causes wait delays and IP stack issues. For those of us that have a local http, we have to deal with all these pointless requests, which will return 404s.
Anyone pushing hostfiles to defeat adverts is a twat and doesn't know what they're talking about. Steve Gibson level twattery no less.
You can change the IP to anything you want. It's text, edit it if you use a local HTTP deamon.
But if you do that, you are probably also running local BIND, use that to insert authoritative zones to catch new subdomains, and speed up the process with NXDOMAIN
HOSTS files with tens of thousands of entries (like mine) do not cause any noticeable delay. None. Something is wrong with your operating system if it chokes.
It even allows for preservation of meat through drying and smoking etc. This is a great survival technique to help survive periods where fresh food is unavailable.
That latter part also puts tremendous selective pressure that benefits smarter people that can think ahead and get around the "instant gratification" trap.
For organisms that form groups and bond with members in the group, know who their offspring are, learn from their peers, and live long enough for their offspring to reach sexual maturity your "ideas" are complete whack.
There are HUNDREDS of species that fulfill the stuff above where grandpa and grandma with experience and a body that works more or less would have a huge impact. Teeth that last a long time means grandpa is around to fidget all night for no reason and throw rocks at the dingos in the middle of the night.
He's the only public talking head who actually had clearance and no further obligation to protect information covered under it.
He's the only guy that we can trust to even start a legitimate dialog on the subject.
If we're all speculating on what a secret closed door club can do, who better than A MEMBER OF THAT CLUB to speak out? Are you retarded somehow as to miss that?
Not disputing what you are saying, but:
iPhone 5c came out in Sept, 2013
Snowden was already getting in trouble in Jan 2014, and was probably out of the loop already (not getting new information) before that.
If Snowden "knows" stuff about the 5c, it's generalized and non specific unless it was cracked out of the box before it was released.
That leaves me skeptical Snowden knows what he thinks he knows.
This whole exercise is goofy, there's probably no data they need on THAT phone anyway, and anybody they are going to chase down is already aware that might out them and done what they are going to do about it. There was reasonably successful attempts to destroy data on other devices, why leave this one out? It's was probably wiped before the attack even happened.
Cracking THAT phone doesn't do anything but set the stage for OTHER cracks of still in use phones.
The problem with this concept is that once you destroy any recognizable fighting capability of the humans on the 'other' side (whatever that means) they will try to use something that does not look like weapon but does damage anyway. You can see where that leads on both sides of big wall between Israel and G. Strip. If there are some ways out of hell this is the misery and low level aggression will just spill all over the globe the 'syrian refugee crises' way.
Something tells me that this actually means there are few humans too many on this little planet to avoid such scenario.
There's a Peter Weller movie about that called "Screamers."
Granted, the F-22 is a fairer comparison, but many believe the T-50 will win. Apologies for the Facebook link, but the poster makes some good arguments.

Yeah, ok, they can duct tape an RPG7 on the two that can fly and go head to head with operational and soon to be combat tested aircraft.

After watching his videos, I figured it would be a good drive device behind a siren.
He does pick up quite a bit of speed given a good run to accelerate.
Why would the ACLU waste resources when it knows the NRA has 2nd amendment issues covered?
The ACLU is actually against the 2nd Amendment. Here it is in their own words: https://www.aclu.org/second-amendment
They view it as a "collective right" whereas all the rest of the amendments are individual rights. Basically, _someone_ can own a gun, but just not _you_ for arbitrary and whatever reasons they want.
And, begrudgingly admit they don't like the Heller decision.
