  1. Well, it's more the teratons of bread and breading we eat than fruits. Fruits would be an improvement over that.

  2. Google, like Microsoft before it, buys governement peace by donations to politicians, and letting them have their backdoors. You didn't think these antitrust lawsuits, largely backed off of, were about some noble abstraction, did you?

    Next thing you know, they'll have the robot singing songs in hippie garb ala Spock, and have a white chick kissing a black one.

    It's fascinating to the eterninerd how many people actually successfully reproduce.

    So, evil then. Instead of a news distribution system to attract groups you can follow, evil.

  7. Computer says HE should be the valedictorian? on Student Expelled After Using Hardware Keylogger to Hack School, Change Grades (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    Professors said the incident would not have been noticed if the student didn't get greedy about modifications.

    "And I'd have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for that meddling me!"

  8. I always thought the verification part of the signature was minor and that using it as fraud proof was the real reason -- that whoever signed it, when caught, had unambiguously committed fraud by admitting it via signature.

    There was a story about 10 years ago where antivirus companies acknowledged they skipped flagging signatures of US government spyware.

    "For example, if the player purchased a particular weapon, the microtransaction engine may match the player in a gameplay session in which the particular weapon is highly effective, giving the player an impression that the particular weapon was a good purchase,"

    So...I get to enjoy the perversity of griefing, without having to do the tedious chore of out-grinding everyone else for superior equipment?

    That's what GM and the other Big 3 thought, that they could cut costs, shitting up their products, and customers would keep buying. As their products have a 10 year cycle, it took awhile to drive people away.

    Google would not have that luxury in the 6 month cycle of consumer electronics.

  13. Exactly. A locked loot crate you must go online to buy a key for doesn't sit well with people who bought the game.

    And here I thought calling Trump orange was as childish and idiotic as it got.

    Nah, that would be televangelist Jerry Fallwell and "Ellen Degenerate", because she came out as a lesbian.

  18. If all he did was publish, no, that's been to the Supreme Court already (and ignoring that he isn't a US citizen and was not in the US.)

    If he directly participated, as with planning, or paid, then maybe. You don't get to commit crimes in the US just because you are over the border any more than you get to lob a missile.

    Corruption is the cause of poverty, but it is so because it allows the same kind of plague on the free productive people as mafias, warlords, and criminals in the street in a lawless state.

    In other words, those who produce are not safe from looting of one kind or another, and say to hell with it, and don't even try.

    Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein issued the warning in a speech in Annapolis, Md., saying that negotiating with technology companies hasn't worked. "Warrant-proof encryption is not just a law enforcement problem," Mr. Rosenstein said at a conference at the U.S. Naval Academy. "The public bears the cost. When our investigations of violent criminal organizations come to a halt because we cannot access a phone, even with a court order, lives may be lost."

    Translation: We want to continue sacrificing billions around the world to dictatorship because we are missing a tiny handful of criminal notches in our belt.

    These are needed to prevent thuggery from accessing info that challenges their dictatorsbips. That is sufficient.
