I'm sure this wasn't the only piece of evidence used to arrest them. Likely it was used for grounds for a search warrant, the police siezed evidence in their homes, and used that as evidence for the arrests.
My guess is whatever they found in the searches was far more damning than the video alone.
I have been using Perl for 5 years. After 1 month with Ruby, I'm not going back.
That's like saying "i have been eating dogshit for 5 years. After 1 month with steak & eggs, i'm not going back.". Hardly an impressive statement at all.
dlink would probably sue him if he did that. and since dlink has much more money than him, dlink can force him into bankruptcy by abusing the legal system.
sometimes the only way for a fucktard to learn a lesson is to be publically humiliated. leading them by the hand and coddling them only serves to reinforce their idiotic behaviour. a good public pounding with a cluebat is much more effective.
But know this: the technology for getting to orbit and beyond is not tapped out. There are so many directions for improvement that it represents enough work for thousands of engineers for decades.
Yes, but it's still fundamentally rockets -- brute force.
Nobody can be arsed to think outside the box.
And yes the chinese will probably be the first to come up with a practical alternative while all the intellect in the west remains in cryogenic suspension.
most of the publically available numbers are not staffed 24/7 and are usually not the appropriate numbers for dispatch. call your local police department and you'll generally get a nice voice menu where you have to navigate 15 levels deep to reach someone.
Schilling accuses everyone of stealing his code. He has accused Andy Polyakov of stealing cdrecord/dvdrecord code for use in growisofs, but he refuses to provide any evidence of the claimed stolen code. Sorta like SCO.
you won't see the effect unless you're wearing glasses though.

Now notice how the bottom left corner looks pulled away from the monitor also notice how the line at the bottom of the screen actually disappears under the blue windows screen (along with it attendant shadow) The same happens to the right hand side. the edge of the monitor and the shadow being cast over it also dissappears under the blue windows loading screen.
If you look at the blue windows screen itself it has a ever so slight shadow on it (a darkening of the blue color) on the right hand side. However the shadow's shape is not continuous with the showdow being cast over the monitor's edge.
welcome to the world of chromatic abberation.
you can demonstrate this effect with glasses. open up a terminal window and display some red, white, and blue text on a black background. now angle your glasses vs the display (eg, look through the narrow part of your lens, then pan through to the thicker parts) and see how the blue and red text move up and down while the white text stays.
you may also notice, looking through glasses, "shadowing" of blue boxes against other backgrounds, especially white and red.
this is what you get from cheap cameras (eg cellphones). good cameras with good lenses won't do that.
I'm amazed that their security is so lax. That level of incompetence is just amazing.
communist countries tend to be like that. though the problem is of course not exclusive to them, for instance south korea is a giant cesspool of pwned boxen and incompetent admins.
still, for a state bank to be used for phishing has got to be a little embarassing. of course it's just a plot by evil capitalist americans to make china look bad.
I mean, I realize that the words "infectious" has negative connotations, but I just don't see this document in and of itself as a bad thing.
You might think that, with your head screwed on properly. However the pointy hairs who read this document are going to go apeshit when they read the emotional words "infectious" and "quarantine".
This document is written for pointy hairs, not engineers. It's designed to scare them into submission, make them freak out and think that open source is going to steal all their company patents, intellectual propery, their baby, and kick their dog too.
1) we know life to be several billion years old, a few hundred million is a mere fraction of that. 2) a plausible explanation: the complex was merely a laboratory for extraterrestrial scientists who were visiting earth, studying the genomes of life on various planets in the universe.
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
Note that this does not grant anyone the right to not worship. It is freedom to religion, not freedom from religion.
"The Universe started with a big bang..." is exactly the same kind of unprovable, untestable statement?
Actually the big bang theory does make testable predictions, and the predictions look to be correct so far. As (optical,xray,radio) telescopes become better, the evidence is piling up in support.
The theory of universal gravitation does not mean you need to create gravity or create planets in order to test its accuracy. Likewise to test the big bang theory one does not need to create a big bang.
"God created the universe" makes no testable predictions.
Everything up to "you're breaking our anti-piracy ability" was perfectly acceptable. That remark was unfortunate, comical, and probably personally embarrassing to the poor individual that made it.
Not really. That kind of talk is what gets people promoted.
But I'll tell you what: If I found out that there were government agents hassling people over an anti-war sticker in an official capacity - I'd have my car plastered with them!
The article makes it pretty clear that is exactly what happened. DHS officials, in their official capacity (they were on-duty, and threatened citations), harassed a person over their anti-war stickers.
i really wish they had cited him, so he would have grounds for a lawsuit.

rockets shouldn't be the only way of getting up there. there should be some better way, and someone should go research that.

I currently reside in Salt Lake City, Utah, or as I like to call it, the mothership of the LDS church
/.'ers. Flame away. Mod me down. Only someone who lived in Salt Lake City in the mid-80s would get the in-jokes anyway.
When I lived there, we called it "Living behind the Zion curtain"...
And when ZCMI still existed, we called it Zion's Collection of Mormon Idiots.
Go ahead

They didn't need to be reprimanded.
They were clearly so out of bounds, they needed to be fired.
"reassignment" is tacit approval of their behavior.
