Oh and the "new" Duke Nukem, said bastardization christening this modern era of former PC franchises being raped into console markets, with limited console-style gameplay, then backported to the PC to suck up nostalgia dollars from suckers.
No one will switch to PS4 for graphics, but only because PC games have functionally dried up, with most major games recently being console-oriented shit (two weapons at once, squeese trigger fast to break free, etc.) like Diablo III, Star Wars The Old Republic, and Dragon Age II.
That's what I got out of it, too. Three possible issues here: 1. They know there is particular info encrypted and want it as additional proof. 2. They suspect, or are just fishing. 3. The very act of providing the password gives additional incriminating evidence of your involvement.
If a safe or door is locked, giving the combo or key location is not quite the same because they can open it the hard way if they have to. No such possibility exists (yet, probably) for heavy encryption.
Personally, I think it should be a violation in all cases. The big historical problem over the centuries is not common criminal behavior -- it is governments abusing searching to maintain their own power. History tells us we have no confidence it won't in the long term, so don't authorize government to begin with.
His suggestion, and that's all it is, is to prevent a Fukoshima should all else fail by having smaller reactors so there physically isn't enough reactant to melt down like that. "Probably."
This requires new plant design. Of course no new permits to build will be issued, which is the goal, and not without literally hundreds of millions of dollars of litigation per plant, which is also the goal.
My company can easily afford a costly software upgrade -- we don't want to because changing from XP means requalifying compiled product with a new version. As this is a mass-produced embedded product, changing OS "just because" is asinine.
The financial liability is limited to the company's assets -- if it runs out, they cannot continue into the pockets of the owners.
The difference is seen with companies like insurance, where the owners are also underwriters, so their assets are on the line. Some old money in Britain lost their estates when Lloyds of London made some bad tanker and space launch bets that year.
In any case, criminal activity isn't necessarily limited to the company -- it applies (that is the actual reason for the corp in in-corp-oration) but just ask the Enron guys. If they murder someone, someone goes to jail as usual.

While I am all for increased legislative oversight of all spy and terrorist-related investigations, good luck with this. The real Constitutional crime is not just warrantless stuff, but warrantless without cursory review by elected legislators or judges.
> But it's undeniable that these rights carry collateral damage.
In the 17th century, bad people could hide stolen stuff in houses, hide in houses, and send crime-oriented information by snail mail.
The reason to forbid the government from peeking has nothing to do with legitimate crimes, nor misusing government power investigating legitimate crimes.
The reason is to stop the slippery slope before it begins, when the government officials end up abusing power to maintain their power.
That's why a lot of this Patriot Act stuff is disturbing -- it lacks even cursory oversight in hindsight. It could indeed be being misused to spy on political opponents. How would you know? You wouldn't, and that is the problem.

Going to local stores uses more gas in your car than is used by your products as a minuscule fractional increase on a truck...even a UPS or FedEx truck.
It's fair enough if you want to support local stores, but huge stores command big discounts, and it's wrong to use the force of government to make people pay more to keep less efficient businesses alive. That isn't just theory -- people vote with their dollars that way. That's why Walmart, common bitching-boy for the online snotnosed crowd, is so successful while saving Americans over $200 billion a year over precious little local stores.

Don't bother -- you'll just be hassling some expat's grandma or sister. The account was probably hacked and immediately rented out on the black market. Now, the expat certainly realizes it was hacked, and would deserve it, but the hacker is long gone, probably hundreds of victims down the road already.

Barristers [wikipedia.org] and solicitors in england are the splitting of the legal profession into two categories. -- Those who can represent themselves in place of the client and conduct litigation on behalf of the client are called solicitors [wikipedia.org], and solicitors are attorneys at law [wikipedia.org]. -- A barrister is not an attorney and is usually forbidden, either by law or professional rules or both, from "conducting" litigation. This means that, while the barrister speaks on the client's behalf in court, he or she can do so only when instructed by a solicitor or certain other qualified professional clients, such as patent agents. -- A lawyer is one "learned in the law", and can be an attorney, counsel, or a solicitor. -- An is the official name for lawyers in certain jurisdictions, e.g. Japan + Sri Lanka + South Africa + U.S.A.

Let me rephrase that, as well. The US denied signing some treaties because busybodies in Europe wanted to completely misuse it to grandstand and pontificate about Big Daddy all the while wolves are waiting outside the door.

Cool paper computer. Speaking of old times, imagine a beowulf cluster of these!
Aero redirects others' signals and is just a fancy antenna. Pandora is 1000 little Internet radio stations, and should pay royalties like any other.
There is no comparison. In the former, the stations pay the royalties. In the latter, the station, Pandora, does, too.
Tune In Radio isn't even like either -- it is just a finder and facilitator of broadcast radio stations' newfangled Intertubes feeds.

Did this buffoon Bloomberg even look at the "olden days", when murders were much, much higher, even adding in terrorist attacks?
He is a pandering idiot. But we knew that already from pop cups.

You try possibilities, sometimes by random accident, and learn it.
It's all about scouring the gradient descent spaces for survival and reproduction. the faster, the better .
Evolution via chemical or cosmic ray error -- geologic slowness.
Evolution by controlled randomization (limb length and a million other things) much, much faster, but his itself had to evolve from the above.
Evolution by sexual crossover, mildly faster still.
Evolution, but in memespace rather than DNA-space, faster still, within a single generation.
Biologists who focus on DNA miss half the data -- you are not one, but two evolving data streams controlling your survival: DNA and memes
The yabbering of the OP topic is unneeded in this trivially-simple model. Don't be a DNA chauvenist.
