Congress was granted the power to secure copyrights, the right to copy (and sell) to encourage aithors to create by providing income.
You have the natural right to see the copyrighted material if you bought a copy! That's copy rights, not obfuscation rights. Where cometh this additional Congressional power?
Isn't that the Game of Thrones language? So like Eskimos and Norwegians supposedly have dozens of words for different kinds of snow, I presume Dothraki has dozens of different words describing the size, texture, hue, and contracture state of the female areola?
We know this, and have tests to verify deviation from true random noise to detect encoding candidates, even if you can't, perhaps ever, crack it.
Actually, I hypothesize this is what SETI and so on are doing. If not, they should.
It cannot be mathematically identical to true randomness over the long run, even though the closer to statistically random data you get with your encoding, the more compressed.
Emissions testing never did anything -- you just had to spend $50 or something max to "repair" your vehicle, and if that didn't bring it back up to where it should be, oh well.
Many states got rid of it because it was stupid and most of the problem is really old cars as newer cars keep getting better and better.
Auto companies thought long and hard before including GNU and other copyleft type stuff in their products, because normally all suppliers are required to support the cost of a recall if their product is at fault (one reason for massive testing when a supplier supplies something.)
But the major software companies, i.e. Microsoft, refused to cover the cost of a recall, either, so to hell with it. Might as well use some small RTOS with public tools and utilities out of sourceforge or someplace.
Software in the auto industry is very heavily tested. Entire test teams that don't even exist in the desktop or phone world exist and beat the hell out of products.
A test team is far cheaper than a single recall.
And still some problems slip through (to say nothing of fraud like the recent emissions test scandal, which is exploding. Wait for it to tag the US companies) but that is next to nothing compared to any other software domain. It matters because of the potential for deaths, but to think they are taking things lightly currently is pure ignorance.
It's sad, but as European politicians pontificate about the evils of the US, and consider banning sending personal user data to the US, they conveniently overlook their own spy agencies are even more intrusive.
You would have to turn off check URLs for malware or whatever it's called -- Google reports incognito URLs back to its malware system. Same for offering to translate the page.
Like I tell my kids - it doesn't matter what other people are doing if what you are doing is wrong.
So you would tell your kids they are doing it wrong because they sell your wife's cookies at their lemonade stand instead of your neighbor's when The Man From Government comes around?
Well this is really to stop Oh Boy New World!!!1!!11 idiocy where countries plant a flag and try to claim much or all of the moon.
It really isn't to stop colonies from landing and growing, much less the inevitable declarations of independence, nor people, private or otherwise, from mining.
Can we get a cleanup on this summary please, from someone who actually passed high school English class?
4chan and 8chan, which fancies itself a wilder 4chan, are like Moe and Curly. Imgur is like Larry and his violin. Reddit just tossed a quarter on the floor, and Larry, Moe, and Curly all went to grab it, yielding the crisp, clean sound of coconuts knocking together.
It's worse than that. When one thinks "died because they took (or tried to take) a selfie, one thinks of tumbling off a cliff edge or getting hit by a car on the edge of a road.
The story lists a guy who just fell over and died of a heart attack, coincidentally taking a selfie. Unless they propose lifting one's arm or some other exertion triggered it, coincidental deaths should not count.
Go look into the math of CAT scanning -- with enough bursts at enough angles, you might be able to do something similar, for even greater mapping potential.
No. Democracies with no constitutional restrictions on government presume to possess all possible powers, limited only by The People getting outraged over something and demanding revokation.
The People haven't given them a damned thing -- those in power just took it.
A proper government is formed by granting a list of powers to it, "and none others".
It's amazing what this can find. And it's amazing how few "great programmers" do this. I suspect they aren't really that great.
You can tailor the random to generate extra combos of escape % crap, too, to speed things up, but general random waiting for a crash should have easily found this kind of stuff.
For that matter, an exhaustive search of all 1 char, then 2 char, then 3 char strings should find a 16 char one in reasonable time.
Now here is where a self-styled "great" programmer would inject his lame self, and here is where truly great ones segregate themselves.
"Great" programmer: That will take way too long, not to mention longer strings.
You stupid, stupid great programmer. You recognize most normal characters might as well be the same w.r.t. parsing, and can thus bundle them into one single character (a white box analysis of code can look for special codes, sequences, and escapes that must be handled separately) and thus build strings of random those, and a single letter from the non-special normal ASCII or whatever set.
Thus does the search space size collapse by orders of magnitude.
See, "great" programmers? You have the thought process of a dead stinking tuna.
How about a RICO investigation into the left, for using AGW (let us assume the claims are true, keep this in mind) as a political argument for a massive takeover of the economy, to slam the brakes on business, arguably killing far more than AGW will due to causing lagging technological advancement.
Any takers? Or is your itchy trigger finger to mod me down, a censorship in microcosm of that which pleases you to think about in this thread?

Pretty Young Thing #137: Why does the TARDIS look like that?

So Uber might one day be able to sue countries for daring to have long standing rules about Taxis that interfere with Ubers advantageis!
You say this like it is a bad thing. Most taxi regulation is about keeping out competition.
That the service is so popular shows The People like it.

Your body stores genetic signatures of bad bugs in your immunity DNA, and, well, have a listen.

Thank god no professional software engineer idiocy. The industry still moves way too fast, and this would just slow things down.
What does this have to do with DMCA, which would still obfuscate?

Well, the US claimed they couldn't crack TOR 2 years ago. Another deception flagging the moment they actually could?
So many possibilities in this forked fishbone analysis!

Wasn't General Atomics the company Tom Swift's daddy owned?
"That'll get 'er," Tom Swift joysticked.
Emissions testing has nothing to do with milage testing. It just means the car is a little dirtier than people thought.
