I'm anti-masturbation for much the same reason. If 47 chromosomes are people, then so are 23! Menstruation is obviously murder as well! (Why else would it be so bloody?)
Come to think of it, I'm anti-not masturbating as well! Reabsorbing chromosomes is murder!! Oh, the humanity!
It does in the US. Parents aren't responsible for criminal activities of their children, and minors cannot engage in contracts. Don't know how things work in the UK, but it would seem there are differences.
pushing a product on the public with the hope that it will be useful once we have it is a cruel inversion of how product adoption should be handled.
Nonsense. People buy a product like a game console speculating that they will get future use out of it. This doesn't always pan out, as many second and third-gen consoles can demonstrate quite well. You can certainly make the argument (and I believe the author has) that the XBone raises the risk too high, and that's a valid point, but the only inversion going on here is the one between reality and wishful thinking.
Umm, no need to be alarmed (nervous laugh), but you may want to get that looked at. The, ah, propaganda bullshit sirens were explicitly designed to be installed outside of the head, and as you may notice, they are not going off as you read this.
Like it or not, and despite rationalizations and protests to the contrary, the criminal justice system probably exists primarily to serve the emotional need for fairness. http://www.slate.com/articles/...
What's more cruel, caging chickens, or pricing food out of reach of the poor? While I acknowledge that it doesn't have to be a dichotomy, I would suggest that eliminating human starvation is a higher priority than deciding whether chickens are sad (but obviously not starving) and if so, how to remedy that.
Oh, Steve Ballmer... You're the king of semantics. That's so hot. When I think about you I touch my screen. Guess which side has a sweaty photo of you in it? Hint: both. Call me!
The legal argument isn't one of efficacy; it's one of Constitutionality. It doesn't matter whether the program could have prevented 9/11 -- a lot of arguably unconstitutional actions could also have prevented 9/11 -- but whether the program follows the letter and spirit of the Fourth Amendment and related law. Does the government have an inherent right to know about any and all communications simply because they occur? The answer should be an obvious "no."
Different use cases. Palm didn't care because nobody was going to carry around a PC to emulate a handheld device. The utility of a PDA was as much in its form factor as anything else. Not so for game consoles.
The amount of processing that it's worthwhile to perform really depends on the amount of data you have. If it's a dragnet attack, then a high degree of automation is worthwhile, but if it's a targeted attack, then human processing is much more likely.
About 7 years ago, after some suspicious symptoms, I discovered there was an outgoing connection to an IRC channel from my machine. I ran a network sniffer and discovered that every keystroke and mouse click were being sent, along with the name of the object that handled the click.
If the person or people who wrote the malware hadn't decided to change my email password, it could've been a long time before I noticed I was compromised. I never found the attack vector. In retrospect, it may have been my ex.
Many keyloggers log mouse clicks too. Your technique would stifle an automated scrape, but likely human eyes are going to be looking at keylogged data at some point anyway, otherwise it's just noise. There's no algorithm for "separate out the password typing from all this other typing." So at best they have to order the characters you've helpfully provided. That means the number of possible permutations is just 9: k (length) of "password" (8) + 1, in case you positioned the cursor before the first letter. If you clicked between every character, it would still only be k^2, so a whopping 121 permutations for 11 characters. If anything, your technique would just draw more attention, I would be more likely to send you an email saying "nice try."
You've posted basically the same post at least 3 times. We get it. Being immortal would suck, although I'm not sure how the laws of physics would apply to someone who would necessarily be existing outside of them to survive without energy.
That said, I think what most of us would be happy with is a self-determined lifespan, and that's basically what people mean when they say "forever." But you already knew that.

Get off the soapbox. We have no moral superiority, and we don't even rank that high in freedom of the press. We're below the UK FFS.

I do not want my car grinding to a halt because the police are looking for some runaway or a bank was robbed.
GLWT.
The difference between theory and practice is often much smaller in theory than in practice.
Wait, are you implying that some of these walls are missing and/or faulty?

You know what's been increasing (far faster than the population) for 40 years?

The problem is that angry customers don't much matter when said angries have little or no alternative.

Yes.
Next question.
...adding that emails sent to that address would be deleted after 10 seconds.
They definitely are an engineering organization. But just like LeVar Burton, you don't have to take my word for it: http://www.nsa.gov/careers/career_fields/compee.shtml
The government doesn't so much want to eliminate corruption as much as they want a cut of it.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

That's a bit vague. Could you specify who the specimen is from? Bo, Luke, Daisy, Uncle Jesse, Rosco, or Boss Hogg?

If I were into that sort of thing.
