"In court papers, Apple said that for the 90 percent of its devices running iOS 8 or higher, granting the Justice Department's request "would be impossible to perform" after it strengthened encryption methods."
When the courts ask "can you provide us with the key for this device?", the answer isn't "yes, theoretically, we could, if we invested millions of dollars and years of effort, there's a possibility to crack it", the answer is "no, we are not able to."
"There's feminists out there who think... So what they do is do something about it..."
"The MRAs do no such thing."
One can't be a person who does something and does nothing at the same time.
Proper feminists face some challenges in the people who've taken up the case.... we're at a point where calling yourself a feminist is something which should be done in hushed tones in academic circles, otherwise some boor will appear "I'M A FEMINIST TOO!!! Damn those men!"
As for MRA... you don't even have to call yourself one and you'll be kicked to the floor. Just mention "Homelessness, suicide, prison, and all of the worst and most dangerous jobs." and somebody will call you an MRA, link you to unspeakable peers and spend hours sadistically and gleefully burning that straw man.
"Where are the MRAs setting up homeless shelters, suicide prevention schemes or education and training to get men out of those dangerous jobs into better ones?"
Just like people who set up women's shelters (i.e., men and women, "feminist" or not), people work on setting up regular homeless shelters, suicide prevention schemes and... not training, but standards, regulations, unions and lawsuits against companies with unsafe practices. Nobody should care about their gender or if those people call themselves "feminists" or MRAs.
And what makes you think that feminists can't also be men's rights activists?
I dunno, 10 years ago if I were emailing somebody like hilary@clintonemail.com, I would assume that it's not their official email address, and I would be comfortable asking "what's your work address?, I've got official stuff to send you."
Actually, I feel like I'm doing it every other day these days, with all these stupid people putting private information in gmail accounts.
I'm very disappointed that he capitulated. What about the privacy of everyone who's corresponded with him? Business plans for land use? Negotiations on zoning or leniency granted to companies for failure to comply with ordinances? Political strategies and information on opponents? Resumes, performance reviews, salary information of staff?
On the other hand, it looks bad if a politician can't be "clean enough" to hand over his computers to authorities. Even if those authorities are underpaid, undertrained thugs which demand all kinds of rights, but take no responsibility for their failure to protect people.
I have a shoe box of Android, Nokia and Blackberry phones which always left me waiting for it to be fixed in the next model. I found a use for my Motorola though.... It's great for powering Arduino projects.
The 4s looks like it's going to become my jogging and travel phone. GPS is great and battery is still 1.5 days. Less conspicuous too.
That was my first post on the site in weeks and it contained nothing but facts and links to reputable sources.
You're the one who referred to the EPA as a "dread lock crew." It's an argument which would give you an F in grade 9 science class. Mods like it though.
FTA: "And because 3NOP boosted the digestibility of nutrients in the feed, the cows that received the supplement actually gained more weight than cows that received none. "
It might actually be useful in meat production. Headline is misleading. Meh.
It's getting better. Most of the time I don't need to Google, but if I'm having trouble, I add g! to the beginning of my search and Google adds a data point to my advertising profile, but I get a second opinion, usually not very helpful.
DDG seems too good to be true really. I wonder if they're *really* not watching.
I passed the CCNA in 99, tried to re-do it back in 2013 to get the Cisco Security cert, but the CCENT->CCNA exam is much, much harder than the old CCNA.
It's the only exam I've failed, the time crunch on the simulated command lines are just too much. Unless you're getting lots of on-the-job experience, it's brutal, and the WAN tech is irrelevant for most networking. I know the material, I'm just not fast enough.
It bothers me when people diminish other people's accomplishments, or discount people because of their education and certifications. If you don't have the certs, I know that you have gaps in your basic product knowledge. If you don't have the education, I have to wonder why.
For the AC, I would expect a line on his resume around the education section, FAR below experience saying something like:
RHCE, CCNP
Any more prominent, and yeah, it's either an entry-level resume or the guy's not a good candidate. 3Com and Solaris should only be there if the job calls for it. It's niche and the 2 words on your resume to add them aren't worth it. I have lots of useless expired certs too.
The criminal hacker as a "cracker" was coined 30 years ago and still hasn't caught on. It's up there with Gnu/Linux as relevant.
OTOH, Hackerspaces and the maker movement have done a good job at changing the meaning of 'hacker' to include both worlds. Hackerspaces are somehow more approachable and understandable to the media and general public.
My definition of "upper" middle class are people who if it weren't for the fact that they need their jobs to pay the bills, they would be considered rich.
Lawyers, politicians, doctors, etc.
Somebody who got a HELOC from their McMansion to buy a Porshe Cayene is not upper middle class. Their home is a suburban cookie cutter compromise and their toys are bought with debt.

"NO citizen of any country should ever be compelled by force of law to reveal the private information of their lives."
Tell that to the line of cops who insisted on searching my bags and confiscating their contents at the G20.
I'm no fan of Trudeau, but I'll take what I can get.
Apparently scientists are allowed to talk to the media without getting the answers reviewed by Harper's people first now: http://www.nationalobserver.com/2015/11/06/news/breaking-trudeau-government-unmuzzles-scientists
A return to sanity seems to be a heroic effort these days.
I think you mixed up the ARA meeting with the AAA meeting.
I'm not sure they're denying that:
"In court papers, Apple said that for the 90 percent of its devices running iOS 8 or higher, granting the Justice Department's request "would be impossible to perform" after it strengthened encryption methods."

I got that impression when you said:

"The MRAs do no such thing."

It's so obvious, it's hard to *not* use.
Could even have an mascot of such a warrior.
The test could be as low a bar as having to remember and write the candidate's name on the ballot.
If you can't get that far, do you really care if they get elected?
It's hard to imagine how they could refuse him entry.
"Give us your passwords or we won't let you go."
"Am I under arrest?"
"no"
"Am I free to go?"
"no"
"Do you know what it means to be under arrest?"
"You're not under arrest, you're being detained."
"Oh, I see, a different word is being used. That makes it okay then."
"Why am I being detained?"
"We can't tell you."
"Can I watch while you use my passwords?"
"No."
"What if you insert sensitive material on my computer?"
"WHAT KIND OF MATERAL?!!!"
"I don't know, the stuff you're looking for?"
"WHAT DO YOU THINK WE'RE LOOKING FOR??"
"Can I have a lawyer?"
"No."
"I refuse to talk further."
"You must talk, else you'll make it VERY HARD ON YOURSELF."
"Don't I have the right to remain silent or something?"
"I TOLD YOU. YOU ARE NOT UNDER ARREST. YOU DO NOT GET A LAWYER, and YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT."
"Ok, here's my political life on file, feel free to screw it all up. Can I have your name to sue you if you leak sensitive information?"
"No."
"It's a good thing you're letting me go after examining my data... my constituents have potholes which need filling!"

They put him in a very, very awkward position.
There were multiple inquiries. The outcomes are published.
Problem: Dropped frames on gigabit.
Solution: check switch ports, check wiring.
Problem: Dropped frames on wifi.
Solution: retransmit and see if things time out.
You're right that the data is only a few hundred bytes. An industrial rs232 connection would be better than wifi.
I only upgraded my 4s because work gave me a 6.
I have a shoe box of Android, Nokia and Blackberry phones which always left me waiting for it to be fixed in the next model. I found a use for my Motorola though.... It's great for powering Arduino projects.
The 4s looks like it's going to become my jogging and travel phone. GPS is great and battery is still 1.5 days. Less conspicuous too.
Why would you think that an advertising company would respect your privacy?
The mods, not the mod points.
"...you're whining because you can't gin up a hate mob against anyone that says..."
Get a grip man. Try reading what I wrote rather than inferring stuff.

Hmph. Not worth discussing anything anymore on this site.
Posts are politically loaded and mods seem the same. Anyone want to buy a 4 digit UID?
This is methane, not CO2, so sequestering carbon isn't relevant.

A cracker is also a white guy with a whip. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_(pejorative) I would cringe if somebody referred to a criminal hacker kid from the Southern U.S. as a "cracker"
