Who are these "reasonable persons" and why are they so stupid?
It's a term of art in the legal world. Wikipedia is your friend: Reasonable Person
...strong evidence of a lack of intent to commit a misdemeanor.
Which is why it goes to trial. There is an independent review in the form of the judge (or jury, depending on the severity of the charge) which should take into accounts such evidence; if is is as strong as you say, then he shouldn't have to worry. (Imperfections of the judicial system are outside of my area of responsibility. Your milage may vary. Do not taunt the happy fun ball.)
It's still hacking. Incredibly easy hacking, but any attempt to gain access to a system where you're not authorized is hacking. You can try to delude yourself that it isn't, but a reasonable person will conclude that it is hacking. It's like that bit from Jumanji: "You tried to cheat?" "No, I tried to drop the dice so they'd land on twelve." Oh, okay, honey. Well, that would be cheating."
As for the "having a look round" bit: I don't know what the law is like where you live, but if someone does that here, they're gonna end up in the local jail waiting to go before a judge to explain just why they're wandering around. (And I don't suspect the judge will be happy with "Oh, I was just looking around.")
18.2-92. Breaking and entering dwelling house with intent to commit other misdemeanor.
If any person break and enter a dwelling house while said dwelling is occupied, either in the day or nighttime, with the intent to commit any misdemeanor except assault and battery or trespass, he shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony. However, if the person was armed with a deadly weapon at the time of such entry, he shall be guilty of a Class 2 felony.
(Code 1950, 18.1-88.1; 1968, c. 530; 1970, c. 381; 1975, cc. 14, 15; 1992, c. 486.)
No, but I do expect someone complaining about the submitter or editor making shit up to actually have read the story--since what was posted on Slashdot was taken directly from the story.
If you really want to be picky, nuclear doesn't glow. Charged particles emitted from the radioactive material at a speed greater that that of light in the containing medium(1) results in Cherenkov radiation, which produces that blue glow. So you can have radioactive decay in a vacuum, which doesn't glow; and you can have charged particles moving at high speeds from other events (for example, interactions with cosmic rays) which will produce the glow.
(1) In the case of water-cooled/moderated nuclear reactors, since the speed of light in water is 0.75C you end up with that lovely blue glow.
No disrespect, but read the article. It explicitly states that this is not designed to keep the parties from saving the information.
It is technically possible to save information sent with Vanish. A recipient could print e-mail and save it, or cut and paste unencrypted text into a word-processing document, or photograph an unscrambled message. Vanish is meant to protect communication between two trusted parties, researchers say.
Hate to tell you this, but Korea isn't a country anymore. There's a North Korea (aka the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) and a South Korea (aka the Republic of Korea). They used to be one country--and they may be one country again one day--but for today, they are two distinct countries.
OK, if you're in NZ (or really pretty much anywhere but India) 14 people in "one or two" cars would be a lot.
Um, the statement was most of those 14 deaths. That means two cars with four people would meet the original requirement. Depending on how picky you are about "most", one mini-van (counts as a car in the US) with seven people would work--while two mini-vans would result in the total number of deaths.
(Or, since it's NZ, it could be a truck with one driver and thirteen sheep...)
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying you're stupid, I'm saying your hypothetical coworker is stupid.
If this R&D is worth millions, then the coworker could sell it to a Chinese company for a tidy profit and nobody would know. (They might strongly suspect, but it could be convergent research.) At least with Wikileaks, the company could confirm that it's been leaked and try to take action against the coworker. So given the choice between the hypothetical coworker seeking only revenge via Wikileaks and seeking both revenge and money via selling it directly to the hypothetical Chinese company...well, I think you can see my point.
Disclaimer: Selling R&D to the Chinese is bad and leads to jail time, mmmkay.
Adding an intermediary between you and the service provider of nearly any industry can only mean higher costs, because for every intermediate step there's overhead.
Sort of like how you pay more for health coverage via your employer compared to getting it yourself? While there is overhead, there is also the ability to negotiate a better rate due to the collective value of a city's worth of people.
(And, just to be an ass about it, there's a layer of overhead that the wifi vendor has internal to the company for dealing with individual customers that you're neglecting. The number of people required to handle a city's population worth of accouts has got to be greater than the city's overhead for staffing a unit to negotiate the wifi service.)
Rum, wenches, and plunder. Grog is watered-down rum, used by the Royal Navy starting back in the 18th century (but not totally phased out until the 1970.) Pirates aren't nancy-boys like the RN and can handle their rum straight.
I'm sorry, but we already have the Smoot for measurement of length. You'll just have to learn to live with being 1.09 Smoots tall.
...and everything looks worse in black and white.

Kodak Kills Kodachrome

· Score: 5, Interesting
Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Yes it does make sense. There are two different markets, with a possible overlap. If you bought a blu-ray player, you wanted to play blu-ray discs. No if, ands, or buts. If you bought a PS3, you may have wanted to play blu-ray discs, play games, or both.
Just as an example, I've never bought a blu-ray disc. There's never been a blu-ray disc in my PS3. Effectively, I am not part of the blu-ray market even though I do own a blu-ray capable device; any statistics that claim that I am are faulty.
Association football. It's that thing happening down on the pitch between the outbreaks of fights up in the stands between rival gangs of hooligans. From wikipedia: The term soccer originated in England, first appearing in the 1880s as a slang abbreviation of the word "association"
Technically precise and totally misses the point. It's not that they can't lock down the information, but rather they want it easily available to everyone on the classified network.
We have adjacent stories about two activities that a company may undertake--activities that are not related despite the ISP providing the connectivity for both. One is about providing access to resources on the Internet. One is about publishing web pages for outside parties on company servers. It wouldn't matter if ISPs are "common carriers" or not, the second article wouldn't be covered by common carrier status.
They government also broke the french DPA (no doubt, it is again similar to UK law) by forwarding on the email, which was by default considered private.
[citation needed]
With the usual disclaimers about not being a lawyer, not being French, and not being a French lawyer--Why would this be considered private? In essence it's not a personal communication between two people, but rather between a citizen and his government. I'd expect the MP as part of normal duties to forward concerns of citizen to the appropriate department.
Everyone is already used to using locations for flu strains, H1N1 is too generic, and it's not really a pure swine flu. (There's also some avian and human flu bits in it.)
This works with the technical name, which includes the location as part of the naming. It starts with the strain, location, (unique?) identifier string, date, and the H/N type.
Examples of existing names: Influenza A/USSR/90/77 (H1N1), A/Fujian/411/02 (H3N2),

That would make me a bit more tense than "Please remember to lock it."

Would you settle for a member of the perciformes order with an attitude?

Dear Bob,
No, but I'm sure that Eve would say yes if you asked her.

PS: Please don't ever mention this message to me in the future...and if you do, don't be surprised if I, umm, have forgotten receiving it.

I'm not saying your wrong, I'm not saying you're right, but...according to the fine article,
So the WHO seems to be using a different definition than you are for pandemics.
Actually, the British follow the universal practice of properly capitalizing acronyms.
It's not very universal if others have different rules. In particular, many American publications use small caps for acronyms such as NASA or CERN.
