When handing someone (or some company) your information, always keep in mind a shift in "company strategy" or PHB change can hurt you. Always judge by capability (what could happen if your information is sold,) and not intention, for intention can change quickly and without warning.
Don't prosecutors have anything better to do, then pretend to be a nanny to some adult?
Prosecutor can go pursue gang bangers or mafia and risk themselves and their family members to possible violent retaliation that could go on for years, -OR- they can chase down some sicko for disgusting deeds that is otherwise legal and get themselves a lot of positive press as 'protectors of innocent children.' Do point out which one of these two is much easier (not to mention safer) for prosecutors with political aspiration.
Does anyone know if there are any stand alone devices designed to erase the data on a hard drive? I am thinking something you plug in and it then goes about erasing all the data (I am thinking simpler and cheaper than a PC).
It's call a power drill. Just fit it with a metal cutting drill bit and you're ready.
Now I read his initial article close to a year ago, so I don't remember what type he got, or if it even specifically mentions it. However his panels are rated to last 30 years. I imagine the warranty specifically mentions how much they will output as their life increases. It should be fairly obvious to see if it's putting out what it should be in those 30 years. If they don't, well, his warranty will cover that.
... if the company in question is still around to stand behind it. I get a laugh out of roofers that offer 50 year guarantee on roofs when they know full well they themselves are unlike to be around by then. A lot can happen in 30 years.
Relocating population from sparsely populated area into that of a smaller area does allow the government to more easily monitor and control the said population as there are now substantially smaller area to cover. I am just waiting for one day when the said area will get fenced off with electrified barbwire and guard towers with sentry guns built around the perimeters, for the... protection of the caged population.
M$ has finally came clean and declare that their users don't 'own' a piece of software, or for that matter, a perpetual license on a per system basis. Instead it's a rental license that must be renewed yearly. Failure to do so will result in deactivation and data loss.
Can evidence illegally seized in this alleged criminal case be used in a civil case? Can MP/RIAA legal thugs use the content of this ruling as basis to sue this student for copyright infringement?
For the sake of argument, let's assume this is the case. (And to correct me if I am wrong here.) To be able to block, at the very least the packet header has to be examined. If remote attacker can generate packets faster than you can examine and drop them, you've just been DoS'ed. Multiply the number of packets by the number of computers in China...
Basically you are saying (to paraphrase your last line) if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about. The reason why privacy advocates get worked up about these minor league, well-intentioned intrusions into privacy is because of the _potential_ for abuse.
If people in the position of authority are so damn trustworthy, United States Constitution would not need amendments.
A friend that used to work on software inside of intel indicated that rank and file other than chip designers gets no respect whatsoever inside that company. If true, I think we can expect Wind River numbers to dwindle to nothing in months.
Why not do this with ATMs? I would not be surprised if ATMs already had GSM-monitored burglar alarms for obvious reasons, and it wouldn't be that hard to have a secondary PIN that sends a duress signal.
Because the banks protect their interests, not those of their customers. They will... exerts themselves to 'protect' their customers if it is of good PR value AND INEXPENSIVE, or required to by the government. Your suggestion made too much sense for the customers and offers no financial benefits to the banks' bottom line but instead will cost them money to implement. Sorry dude, it's never going to happen, short of an act of god.

Apparently Prometheus has not yet patented the behavior they're willfully engaging in that is commonly referred to as Ass-Hat.
"an industry so vehement in their defence of their own profit margin, they have completely forgotten about the very artists they claim to protect."
This assumes the appointed pro-bono counsel is competent and interested in the welfare of his/her client, which may or may not be the case.
The lesson they've failed to learn from mistakes of historical greats like Richard Nixon and the Plumbers - destroy the (e-mails.)
Because the shrink are lazy bums; too lazy to even come up with new ink blobs.
Make sure their lawyers are disbarred as well.
When in doubt, keep trying. When rejected, keep trying. Enough people do this, it becomes the norm. Sad, but true.
If there's anything MAFIAA are know for, it's fighting a lost cause.

Doesn't the panels degrade over time, and produces less electricity as they age?
Actually, I settle for having them put down.

Would it be easier to just sever the undersea fibre cable to China if it's really such a grave threat?

Not to mention that despite the back lighting, the LCD panel probably uses but 1/100th of the power consumed by all the discrete logic.
