Not in any way comparable to what I wrote or meant. Confessions in general are unreliable especially when forced in any way. If you are hinting at torture that would obviously be a serious crime but yes, if during torture someone confesses to murder and provides sufficient details to prove that it isn't made up - it is still evidence! The one doing the torture and anybody assisting him should get life in prison of course.
I don't understand why you think this helps against wrongful convictions. Again the evidence itself isn't tainted by the way it is obtained - it is still evidence as long as it is obviously not tampered with. But to continue my reasoning above if someone confesses under torture (physical or psychological) then the evidence have to be verified before considered reliable.
I'm aware of that. But US citizens are so fixated in their thinking their laws are somehow the only way things can work, I'm just pointing out that laws in other parts of the world works differently without causing a police state or harassment from government officials.
That is obviously not popular, guess some people doesn't like to have their preconceptions challenged...
X86 based notebook and desktop machines running Windows. Why would a botnet creator go for anything but the most common configuration of hardware and software?
Have you read the licence text recently? It explicitly states that using GPL software doesn't require accepting the licence. Modifying the source code and distribution of source and/or binaries are what requires acceptance of the terms according to it. I choose not to list modification as there are arguments that a single user modifying source code that is legal to have and use (according to the licence text) can't be in violation of copyright laws.
No it certainly doesn't! You are conflating two different things: security against harassment and validity of evidence. Those are (again) two separate things and it is possible (and the standard in many parts of the world) to make harassment illegal but still consider evidence gathered during those illegal activities valid.
Example: If a policeman kicks in someones door to steal things and finds child pornography then the finding of the pornography is still useful evidence but the policeman is guilty of breaking and entering. The finding of illegal items doesn't make the breaking legal.
I fail to see how videotaped 100% clear proof of violent crime can be ignored because the police break a rule when obtaining it.
Because if you let it go in this case then you have to let it go in all cases, and if you let it go in all cases then the police are free to break into your home, car, office, etc, hack into your computer, read your mail, record your phone calls, use stingray type devices, and anything else privacy invading just any time they want just to find shit to send you to jail for.
But what's that you say? Who cares about privacy when lives are on the line? Well the thing with that is if police can just do whatever they want to obtain evidence to throw you in jail, then they can practically throw anybody they want in jail because EVERYBODY does things that are illegal, and you bet your ass that politicians would start using this to silence their opposition until we end up with a China style government.
Hogwash! Utterly baseless bullshit!
If the police break into your home, car etc. (without reasons to - even in the US they are allowed if there's a danger to someone) -> charge them for that. Ditto if they hack your computer etc. -> charge them for that. Your mention of the stingray device is funny though, it isn't invasive unless you are already targeted...
This is something that works in other parts of the world, it isn't something experimental, it isn't the slippery slope you (and others) claim it is.
Throwing good evidence in the trash because some unfounded ideal doesn't help anyone except the criminals.
Not if one use the verified correct (to the specification) kernel and then use the provided mechanisms to build the rest of the system. Only the kernel _need_ to be trusted to get a working system. How fast the result would be is another thing - but seL4 have a very fast IPC mechanism...
But that's not what we are talking about. Well, at least us sane adults aren't.
Crowdfunding isn't an investment. It isn't purchasing something. The promise is that the project will try to deliver whatever it is about. Intentionally not delivering is of course fraud and wasting money on unrelated things instead of trying to deliver is too.
I have also allegedly heard that the Enigma Software Group is run by ISIS and is used to launder money from their slave sex trade. Personally that sounds unlikely but where there's smoke...
It is acceptable if the "receiver" specified the location as continental USA. Otherwise your example is illogical, not relevant and thoroughly ludicrous!
So you have only Macs and bargain-basement Acers? Really, Apple choose style over function when it comes to cooling. Smaller inlet and outlet vents means higher sound levels compared to a machine with large (clearly visible) vents even if the fan and heatsink/heatpipe is kept the same. However Apple machines tend to have small heatsinks, small fans.
And then physics get in the way -> louder. Yes one can innovate by improving the fan efficiency, the sound profile of the fan (by spacing the fan blades right), making more efficient heatsinks etc. Physics still is a problem in getting the cooling working right. -- My current machine is a MSI GS60 gaming notebook. Compared to a MacBook it also have two fans however instead of one (large) heatpipe it have two heatpipes, 4 heatsinks (one per heatpipe and fan) and 7(!) cooling vents (2 outlets at the back, 1 outlet per side, one combined inlet/speaker housing above the keyboard and two vents at the bottom). Doesn't look as nice and clean as other notebooks but runs silent normally (even when loading it somewhat) and acceptable during heavy loads.
I don't and the food industry doesn't. If anybody would do a write-up on anything listing nutritional values and use "calorie" instead of "kcal" etc. I would think they didn't know what they were doing.
I understand that this has proteins and is somewhat balanced but really, adult humans shouldn't be drinking ANY digestible carbs. Carbs should come from solid food, preferably in complex form.
Digestible carbs from liquids are handled differently in the body than they are in solid form, they are more readily available for breakdown and digestion. The occasional fruit juice or milk isn't going to kill you, but make a habit of drinking carbs every day (such as this breakfast drink) and you could be harming your kidneys.
Is it amateur night or what? Consumption of too much sugars can harm ones kidneys - but only if one first get diabetes and even then it is indirect (capillaries getting plugged due to high levels of blood sugar, kidneys eyes etc. are sensitive to such damage). A healthy adult would have no problem as long as they eat/drink enough but not exaggerate (-> diabetes).
As a once in a blue moon thing to eat/drink, these Soylent products are alright. However, I drink a cup of coffee every day. I shudder to think what the estrogenic effects of consuming vast amounts of soy protein daily are.
If only we had some control population where consumption of soy products of different kinds are common so that we could see short and long term effects... Oh, we have! Soy use is ancient.
Not to mention the other terrible ingredients listed in there. Maltodextrin is a simple sugar. Why not use a sugar like turbinado?
You mean "dirty" simple sugars are better than "clean" ones? Are you one of those "raw" fanatics?
You'd be better off getting a casein/whey protein shake and mixing it with fruit, some nut butter (hehe), and some fibrous substance like psyllium as a meal replacement drink. Sure it's not vegan or lactose tolerant, but who really cares what vegans feel.

So you don't know shit about science and like us to know? You also think exposing your irrelevant politicized outlook on life is a positive thing?
There's a saying that it's better to keep silent than to speak out and expose one as a fool. Perhaps something you should consider?
No it isn't! One have to accept the license to copy the software but as long as you don't distribute it you don't have to accept anything..
Use* GPL licensed software?
Compile GPL licensed source code?
Allowed without accepting the license.
Distribute GPL software? Must accept the license (otherwise one goes against the copyright) and follow the instructions.
Of course not*. But they can be forced to produce artifacts of interest for the case. Which in this case would be source code.
(* ironic - yes people can be forced to cooperate even in the US)

That would apparently be too logical and civilized.
Yes. Yes they sure had reasons to - did you even read the article?!?

All reasonable people have spoken.
I don't agree - the evidence is evidence no matter how it is obtained. That's the only logical way.
LLVM isn't GCC, isn't inspired by GCC, isn't fully compatible with GCC and uses a completely different design than GCC.
Any OS that isn't Linux isn't a rewritten Linux...
Really, is this a troll or are today's /. users this clueless?

It is trivial to change what time of day when the system does an update, why not change that before complaining about imaginary bugs?

If they return a precision/confidence value then no, they are not responsible.

They use Cyrix technology, Rambus technology and Microunity technology too.
Transmeta is still not relevant today any more than the MediaProcessor is.
