One likes to think the person would be considered a hero rather than be charged, but I can see it going wrong for them.
These are the same people who brought you marijuana residue on walls not being evidence of past use or possession, but the vanishingly small amounts of THC in the wall residue was possession in and of itself.
These are the same people who, when presented with more intrusive powers to track terrorists, claimed, golly, no, we will never, ever, not no way, not no how, ever use it for anything but terrorism, then, immediately after the law was passed, started using it against drugs, saying, "The law doesn't specifically state terrorism only, sorry!" They didn't even bother trying to conjure up the meme that drug selling is "a kind of" terrorism. They didn't have to.
These are the same people who are trying to get teenagers registered as lifelong felony producers of child porn who must register as sex offenders wherever they go for the rest of their lives because they took a nude shot of themselves and sent it to friends.
So...with these common horror stories as the tip of the iceberg, I wouldn't put it beyond some prosecutor to try to jail a guy who accidentally filmed a child rape then took it to police as a producer of child porn.
In these modern times, much of our business is dependent on The Internets, which is a series of tubes through which flow unregulated and untaxed information.
This is corporate America twisting the government to assign economic winners (them) and losers (you, and independent cabs) by promoting memes that sound good but really have nothing to do with why they are doing it.
There are cities without all this, and they do just fine.
I always had to laugh at their argument that IE was so deeply embedded they cannot remove it.
They built this whole plug-and-play architecture with COM and it's descendants, and made the browser a flagship example of using it, then reversed course and started deliberately burying it deeply in Windows precisely to avoid anti-trust issues.
Fair enough, to possibly get around a regulation that should not be there (nobody's exactly paying for Chrome or most other browsers; these companies supply them for the exact same reasons.) But it's still laughable.
That would be the next step in research -- does a lack of these things increase your health?
I'm not gonna hold my breath on that one, either. "Oh noes -- PESTICIDE RESIDUE!" always has had the feel of a conspiracy theory meme more than any rational fear.
After all, if it were a major problem, it would easily have shown up by now. Therefore, it is either extremely minor or non-existent.
Or...potentially harmful. It may have fewer antibiotic-resistant bacteria, but it could have more overall. There could be more disease carrying bugs on it.
Again, it will require careful studies to determine if there is even a slight advantage (or disadvantage) either way.
If organic has any edge, it's not because it's organic. It's because it gets picked later. Most industrially-grown food is picked very early on when it's extremely unripe and hard as a rock, to minimize bruising during shipping.
It's so unripe it's not fully developed and doesn't even ripen properly. This is also why things like hothouse tomatoes taste better.
Science is working on this by using that trout gene, which makes the food stay firmer later into its ripening cycle, allowing it to be picked later and, in theory, thus allowing no bruising and more proper ripening.
Science to the rescue, again, as usual, against memes.
The judge did quote that, in this case, there was an apparent deliberate exception in the law for unencrypted networks. He isn't pulling it completely out of his ass.
I want 4.0 on my phone. I don't know what it does, but I want it.
I want it to auto-install. It hasn't. I sit here wondering why. Why, Google and Verizon, hasn't my Droid Charge updated itself? Hell, I am shocked to learn 2.3 has been out so long. My phone only auto-upgraded from 2.2 last December.
At that rate, I will get 3.0 in 2 years and 4.0 six weeks after 7.0 Gummi Bear is released.
Servers would presumably be using the superior drives.
What shitty home applications are relying on other than very occasional requirements to sync? Operating systems? Shut down, sure, a few things, but even that should be written to handle a loss and recover.
One of the solutions to the Fermi paradox is that civilizations invent something better than radio waves for communication, and thus the "radio window" is relatively brief, and so we won't hear anything because there's nothing to hear.
Most MMOs are soloable, making a mockery of the socialization anyway. Basically they end up being boring singlr-player games with gimped characters. Compare a Jedi in Knights of the Old Re.ublic to the largely neutered monstrosity with a wiffle bat in The Old Republic MMO.
Mob rule is an evolving meme's wet dream. Convincing people to adopt you freely is hard enough. But convincing just a subset who then feel justified in forcing everyone to adopt the meme, hoo boy! Meme has a bonuh.

Yes, yes, we know. All kinds of things from which one can siphon off the bribe which was the real intent.

Don't hate, you'd laugh if it were reversed.
In hindsight, it's easy to see what they were doing was wrong. At the time, not so much.
Here, it would have been easy to see it is wrong before they did it.
When Putin started seizing control of the newly-free media, he hired a US firm to manage them. Another proud moment.
Great. First the supervolcano under Yellowstone, now deadly virus from Yosemite.
You nature lovers and conservationists feel good about yourselves for preserving it? Huh?

> People don't buy organic for nutrition. That's
> what people buy vitamins for.
Barring treatment for specific deficiencies, adding vitamins to your diet does nothing. Another thing that's coming up in study after study.
The daily multivitamin is a waste of money.
If organic has any edge, it's not because it's organic. It's because it gets picked later. Most industrially-grown food is picked very early on when it's extremely unripe and hard as a rock, to minimize bruising during shipping.

I thought the law required names and addresses of owners.

That's one brain infiltration. Now what about the rampant memes reproducing and spreading through the California population?
> You can tweak the site by selecting a skew toward the Republican or Democratic tickets, and whether it's mild or strong.
I can do that without any mathematical model at all.
Blah biddy blabiddy blah. The election will be over. This model will be wrong. Nobody will remember it.
History shows the far and away most dangerous, most untrustworthy 3rd party is government.

Leaving out the SD card slot and card saves money. Most people don't use it anyway. They rely on internal memory, which is plentiful.

Naming yourself after a mocking Internet meme doesn't help her case any.
IIRC, the current exchange rate is about $10 for 1. They only have to hold that for a little while.
Also, how are prosaic thieves who raided a cabinet "hackers"? Unless they got through the office door with a hatchet.
In any case, they claim to have given a copy to county party officials, so it should be easy enough to verify.
