old hard drives that are too small to be worth someone's time reusing (really who needs a 20 gig hard drive)
He said some were SATA; I really doubt any SATA drives would be that small.
It's just machismo: "My data is so evil and important that the NSA would spend a million dollars to recover it so I have to reduce the disc to constituent atoms".
Bollocks. Just write zeroes over it and you are safe in the real world. CSI and 24 notwithstanding.
Dr. Strangelove: Based on the findings of the report, my conclusion was that this idea was not a practical deterrent for reasons which at this moment must be all too obvious.
President Merkin Muffley: General Turgidson, I find this very difficult to understand. I was under the impression that I was the only one in authority to order the use of nuclear weapons.
Single dot for a space is okay. Its when they do j.o.h.n.s.m.i.t.h@gmail.com that I know they're up to something. Possibly they just are trying to protect themselves from spam, but unfortunately, it's now the mark of a link spammer.
give out something like "beetlebail.ey@gmail.com" for signups. Once that becomes compromised, you can automatically filter all messages to that address to trash or spam.
And the linkspammers use that too to evade blocks on their accounts.
I admin a forum and review signups. Any that use the dot trick I bin, after checking a few dozen and finding 100% were blacklisted addresses.
How on earth could any software determine that?
You may open a tab for a dozen sites . You can load a page of text, once, and spend an hour reading it with no further fetches. You could have a stock ticker/ weather stats/million other things running in a small window, gettign data every few seconds.
Basically, unless you look over their shoulder, you can't know how much of their attention was on a site for how long.
Classic mission creep: start with monitoring illegal downloads, end up checking on how the staff spend each minute at work, just because you can. Think how intrusive this is and how much it would be resented.
Do you really think that U2's ticket sales are going to be impacted significantly by the fact that some garage band can set up their speakers in a park somewhere and perform their songs license-free?
No, that;s not what this is about. The 20 year extension in TFA is to RECORDINGS. The rights to the original recording of performances would expire after 50 years, now 70. But the copyright on the lyrics and music already runs until decades after the composer's death.
So basically you couldn't before and still can't just perform any music written by a living composer.
If the recording rights had been allowed to expire, anyone could make and sell copies of the original performances for free. But you'd still have to pay to do a cover version.
The issue isn't that Paul McCartney gets to make a few million more, but that hoards of slowly deteriorating recordings, on tape, disc, whatever, of less stellar artists, cannot be rereleased as the copyright ownership is too murky and expensive to be determined.
As the reviewer found, just distracting. If you want sound effects, get an audio book or full on radio play. When I'm reading I might put the radio on to some bland pop music station. But not something I actually pay attention to.
They should be targeting young children, say less than 8. They might be enticed to read a story book with some fun sound effects. There are plenty of book-toys you can buy with buttons to press to hear the cow moo, etc.
Ultimately, if it reaches court, it's not going to go well for the TSA employee.
It's the blogger who has to convince the court that there was actual vaginal penetration as she claims. That's probably not possible.Just "groping" is what they're supposed to do. After the last underpants bomber, no doubt the TSA were told to check that area thoroughly.
.
Whatever the intention of the proposers of this legislation, they will undoubtedly be pressure to use it to classify uploading a torrent as a criminal conspiracy -- it involves groups of "hackers" in a "conspiracy", it causes millions of dollars of harm (according to the RIAA). Thus they can be charged under the amended RICO.
The whole point of the.xxx TLD is that all porn sites will move to it under pressure of the law.
"The law"? What law? What law that applies in every country in the world? That defines pornography in a way that everyone agrees? That outlaws anything someone thinks is porn from any other domain?
May work in North Korea. Rest of the world, not going to work.
You just need legible text to do that. I learnt using punchcards. If you want to do anything graphic intensive, yeah spend a few dollars more for a D/A converter.
It's one thing to say I'm wrong on a technical issue. It's a whole other thing to accuse me of "scamming". Of course I'm not selling the fucking things.
No, tell me what i should do if this kind of stupid law come into the country i live in?
Spend hours nagging your ISP to replace/fix theirs. Or buy a used wifi router for $10 and use that instead. Save a lot of time and hassle. I just did that (actually mine cost $6).

Encrypted traffic over port 80 is easy to detect. A policy to block it and fire anyone using it
Yep. and you'd stop people wasting time accessing banks, email, etc.
And fire anynoe who clicks on a https link. Zero tolerance is the only way to keep the *AAs profits safe.

"No bias" would mean that we wouldn't report on this incident,
Or perhaps, report on the incident without convicting one side with your headline "TSA groper" and describing her with derogatory terms like "smurf".

Apple was founded in 1976, but I struggle to see how that's relevant.

I responded to the accusation that I was "scamming" appropriately.
That composite video connector gives you
.. something that works. Who said it had to be a game machine?
GRRR! Stop it. You're scamming people. Do you sell it? Please. Look at the reviews, idiot..
Please, look at the specs, fuckhead

The stupid thing is, none of those will work with this thing since it only has HDMI and not VGA or even DVI.

There's plenty used. Eg, Craigslist; 17" for $5: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/sys/2534465454.html And lots of free ones.

How many beers does it take before you begin to have trouble keeping track of items on the counter or table.
Don't they have pockets?
Or if they must display them, put them on a lanyard.
I really don't know why so many people walk around clutching a phone in their hand all day long.
ballsack bastard beastiality biatch bitch
So if you spell it correctly, you can use "bestiality".
They block "hell" "cum" (a fine Latin word) "jackass" "retard" "screw"?
It's the Napster defence?
No idea why you would think that. People are uploading their OWN photos. There is no illegality by any party.
If an undercover cop gets killed though it wouldn't be hard to sue facebook for wrongful death.
No, it wouldn't be hard. It would be impossible.
RTFA: "All respondents aged 26 years or younger had uploaded photos of themselves onto the internet." No one to blame except themselves .
