"Your bullshit octopus is really sending me to DEFCON, Jerry! My anger is at DEFCON 2 right now and if you don't have a serious patch design on my desk by the end of the day, I'm gonna go to DEFCON 1 and nuke your chances of not working the weekend."
Indeed, these people know not the forces with which they meddle.
I bet they don't even realize that, like the dreaded Candyman, if you say "APK" five times at the top of a Slashdot thread, he will appear in your HOSTS file and can never be deleted.
The only way to get rid of him is sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root/ and then pull out the hard disk and burn it on a pyre of sage and thermite.
Yeah no one's experimenting on twins. Nobody stocked up experimental and control groups with bright-eyed 12-year-olds and told mom and dad to keep Tommy comfortably numb for the next decade while Timmy stays on the straight and narrow.
Were this to become some sort of widespread UK voice encryption protocol, could people still encrypt the underlying communication with the method of their choosing and have this just be an additional wrapper?
I'm not sure I even understand what TV is so up in arms about. Isn't the primary use of Nielsen ratings to calibrate the pricing and structure of advertising? Which Netflix doesn't have any of?
I mean, I guess it also allows HBO, FX, et al. to say they have the "most watched" $genre show. But if Netflix wants to say one of their own series is the most bestest evar, WGAF?
Skimming TFA, the beef seems suspiciously close to "Netflix makes our dicks feel small, and they sometimes get shows that we wanted, and our numbers are bigger and theirs aren't for real! Nuh uh they're not! Nuh uh they're not and no talkbacksies!"
I agree that the Supreme Court took the Commerce Clause too far with their private marijuana growing == market impact == interstate commerce decision (based on a much older, though no less wrong, Depression-era decision about private wheat growing).
However, education is one place they actually drew a line in the sand. It was a federal gun legislation case, and SCOTUS basically said "If gun violence == educational impact == interstate commerce, then literally everything is interstate commerce and nothing will be within the purview of state/local government."
So joke notwithstanding, education is still something the feds don't have (complete) control over.
Here I was all set to come back with a big old "no" without reading the text of the bill. Because preemption! And because why on earth would you bother making something legal at only the federal level that was never illegal at the federal level? Just for show? (whomp)
And then I went to the Act and read amended section 8542(b), which says "Notwithstanding subsection (a), nothing in this section shall be construed to preempt state or local laws." Hm. And then I read the rest of this (very short) section, which starts "Nothing in this Act [the amended Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965] shall authorize the Secretary to, or shall be construed to..."
So... huh. The Secretary of Education is prohibited from prohibiting free range parenting. But unless Arne Duncan has some sweeping, heretofore unknown power over state child endangerment laws (note: he doesn't), parents are still subject to (IMHO absurd) state/local police intervention when their kids walk to school.
And if letting your kid bike home from middle school somehow violated federal law, the FBI, Secret Service, or other Federal agency could actually still arrest you, too.
So not only does this not explicitly override any criminal law anywhere, it doesn't even, AFAICT, tie any funding to a requirement to change criminal law anywhere (ala raising the drinking age to 21 nationwide via highway funding strings).
tl;dr: This provision doesn't do anything but prevent the Education Secretary from outlawing your kid from walking to school, which he probably could not have done anyway.
If Trump ever did become president, we'd likely see worldwide investment in space colonization skyrocket as people desperately clamored to get the hell off this rock.
From an objective scientific point of view, the lunar surface would give humanity a much better chance of survival.
A common misconception. Turns out the Infernal Municipal Council (Public Works Division)
regularly resurfaces the Road to Hell with a mixture of sulfurous pitch, crystallized despair, orphan tears, wallpaper glue, tree pollen, crushed up AOL Free Trial CDs, undying snakes, microbeads, fell runestones graven with the demonic localization of the systemd man page, and the mortal souls of chronic masturbaters and people with window decals of Calvin pissing on things.
Good intentions are often a large volume fraction of the cement on the Sidewalk to Poor User Interface Design, which is so similar to Hell that people often get them mixed up.
Your post is thought provoking, which makes it all the more frustrating you've succumbed to one of the least useful fads in modern internet culture: the everywhere video-ization of content that really just wants to be text.
Not trying to be an ass:) I honestly wanted to follow those links and read what you were talking about and then... oh, YouTube.
Err... that's the United States Patent and Trademark Office, not the Undergraduate Student Toilet Paper Ombudsman. Though dealing with either one can be a pain in the ass.;)
The oldest is 60. And what difference should their age make anyway?
The implication when your press release uses the term "gang" is young males with violent tendencies involved in criminal enterprise.
Revealing that this "gang" is in fact three karaoke-enthusiast grandfathers who derive no financial benefit from their activities is, I think, a reasonable rebuttal.
Just FYI, TFS saying "London Police" is misleading. This sham of a "bust" was undertaken by the City of London Police, which is 728 guys with a square mile jurisdiction, who serve as wink wink enforcement arm for Big Content.
Not to get too far OT, but if we are apportioning blame (rather than just smacking everyone involved and telling them to play nice for the good of the country), then congress is, at minimum, 50% to blame for the gridlock and lack of meaningful legislative activity.
That's neither controversial nor pejorative--avowed obstructionism and theater legislation have become points of public pride for many in the House, especially.
The answer is for congress to step in and fix this. That will prove challenging since congress itself is broken, making it hard for them to fix anything else.
I have independent learning material on computing and know sites where I can find more material.
Is that a threat, Mr. Cyber-program-guy!? I can assure you we've prosecuted people for less--sent them away FOR LIFE.
We have a future cyber-terrorist in a holding cell in the back... 15 year old kid with irregular sleeping patterns who didn't like talking to his parents about his facebooks!
Slashdot Mirror
Oh yeah, and the NRO sends people to DEFCON.
"Your bullshit octopus is really sending me to DEFCON, Jerry! My anger is at DEFCON 2 right now and if you don't have a serious patch design on my desk by the end of the day, I'm gonna go to DEFCON 1 and nuke your chances of not working the weekend."
Shit, there goes another hard drive. I'm running out of thermite here.
No reason to poke him if he's not spamming.

+1 Commerce Clause Justification So Absurd the Supreme Court Might Actually Adopt It

I thought it said "Massive Mana Reserve Created in Atlantic"... which would of course be redundant since it's already filled with islands *ducks*
Thanks for that!

I tend to think of the "grey" in "grey hat" as being used in the dithering sense.
I.e. a collection of tactics/actions comprising both "white hat" and "black hat" behaviors, such that when viewed together they appear "grey".
thanks for the misinformation, you retarded Canadian sack of shit
Cinnamon and gravy! I know I'm not supposed to feed the trolls, but damn that was just needlessly harsh, AC.
Especially when there are lots of websites dedicated to hitching rides on cargo ships.
... the USTPO's ...
Err... that's the United States Patent and Trademark Office, not the Undergraduate Student Toilet Paper Ombudsman. Though dealing with either one can be a pain in the ass. ;)
Tsk tsk. Feeding the troll rational responses is still feeding the troll.

The 31K police that actually police London are known as the Metropolitan Police Service.
The science is my job 5 days a week, you insensitive clod!

Is your kid a supporter or contributor of a hacking tool known as systemd? I could totally get behind that one.
In Soviet Linux, systemd gets behind you!
I have independent learning material on computing and know sites where I can find more material.

Probably picked up his cyber-hacking skills from a combination of television and the World Wide Web.
