You have brought up the reason the first concrete action on the urge is criminalized. Once they seek out the images, unless they're repulsed and the process is over(I like to think this happens), they're an extreme risk. Take them out of society and away from temptation. The crime they'll commit is too certain to happen and to terrible in consequence to wait.
I'm not suggesting we apply this principle to any other crime, so shut up with the "well in that case we would have to round up all the..." bullshit.
Unless you put a cutoff in there, yes, you're a pervert. It's not OK for an 18 year-old to boink a 13-year-old. In fact, it's not ok for anybody to boink a 13-year-old, no matter what some degenerate non-societies say.
After reading the entire sentence and finding no reference to Neuromancer, nor anything else to suggest the we weren't talking about Blade Runner having been written by the William Gibson, your post reminds me of this.
Well, that will certainly put a stop to those pesky women touch-dialing 911 in their purses during carjackings and other abductions.
And if they made it possible to disable this warning system for criminals, we'd immediately have lawyers recruiting blind people to borrow sighted peoples' phones so they could sue for violation of ADA, just like they do now by having "plaintiff farms" - groups of people holding 1 share of every stock they can get so they can sue when any stock decreases in price.
No problem exists, but if they can manufacture one, they can make money off it.
You could consider this situation a secondary effect of a parasite infestation.
Don't you see, that is the reason the ruling is so outrageous. To enforce that ruling, it is necessary to fully journal every memory operation. The obvious retort is that by that standard, for the court to keep proper legal records, they ust record every thought the judge and any other court officer has, including those never communicated. Of course, the bullheaded refusal to understand makes the natural extension of that application pointless - that not ony must they write down everything they think, but everything they think about what they think and about writing it, and about writing that...
What the judge really means, or would if he were capable of understanding it, is that he requires all information that could be desired in the investigation shall be recorded - logging every transaction... sort of like requiring that somebody selling items at a flea market can no longer bring stuff from wherever he got it and sell it for whatever he can get for it, but must now record the source of each object, what he payed for it, who he sold it to, and and for how much.
He's just like any other old man, who runs out of disk space and believes the salesman who wants to sell him more RAM.
Since he's asking for technological ideas, obviously the no-brainers, like pencil/paper, whiteboard, waxboard, etc.. are beyond her current mobility.
A morse code key - a straight key connected to an oscillator is a simple and easily-grasped idea. While I love the idea of setting her up an FT-817 and a window-mounted antenna so she can just talk to everyone, teaching the code to someody in that condition is unlikely. The moment the key and oscillator is hooked up, she's up to Christopher Pike-level communication - one for yes, two for no. Add in long pulses to bring attention to start the yes-no guessing game. With that key as an outlet for communication, she'd immediately be able to pick up a few key characters - The numbers, "U" and "D" for up and down, "L" and "R" for left and right, and "I" for the itches she'd need u,d,l,&r for, initials of other frequent needs, favorite foods, etc.. If she's in for very long, you can elaborate - phone and/or internet connection, whatever.
A lever switch , a AA cell and holder, some wire, and a tiny peizo buzzer from radio shack - maybe an spdt switch and a panel bulb for silent comms, and possibly a small piece of wood to mount at lest the switch on, 3 minutes with your soldering iron, and her mind is free. If she's got motor control issues, you'd have to obtain or create a suitable actuator - something as simple as an extension to the lever switch to make it easier to hit, to making a separate spring-loaded switch to keep her from actuating it unintentionally.
People with good reason to create important data on their laptops get the TSM client installed and configured, and they get taught how to click through and backup, as well as to do their own restores.
Most large companies are run by folks who prefer mcDonalds to a local restaurant... extrapolate.
You can install Cygwin without any privileged access, as long as you're not locked down to only specific binaries.
There's a lot more to Cygwin than just it's X, so you can still overpay for exCeed if you want to, and still have your full unix environment work with it. I like being able to rsync CDs up to unix hosts from my laptop instead of walking back and forth to the server room, working on shell and perl scripts on my laptop instead of remote, sshing commands out to hosts and having the commands come back through my display, whipping out windows binaries for people who need some certain functionality blocked by websense but can get the source code, etc.. When security comes by accusing you of "making backdoors" by using ssh keys, hands off the keyboard and let them take a copy of your keys. The good ones get pretty pleased when they find out you're voluntarily using passphrase-protected keys. Of course, once you explain what you're doing, the bad ones want to forbid ssh-agent. Those are the same ones who equate loss of productivity with gain of security - the "the more it costs, the better it works" school of thought. For better or for worse, most of those work for the government.
If you don't mind a lot of mousework, you can subsist on exCeed and putty, but why would you?
as soon as I saw this on foxnews.com, I ran straight to/. for inside information. Nothing but standard cliches? Somebody out there's got to have that video.
It's a common mistake. Just remember: four tines, it's a pitchfork; three prongs, it's a trident.
WRONG... it's not the tine count. It's the shape.
I have used a three-pronged pitchfork (as well as 4 and 5-tined pitchforks, and a 12-tined ensilage fork). A trident is a three-head spear (with the heads in a line instead of a triangle), and as such, the axis of the heads is parallel to the shaft. You don't want to stab and have the impact offset from the thrust, or worse, have an impaled opponent fall in such a way as to trap your weapon. A pitchfork is a material-handling tool, with the tines offset from the shaft in order to permit better retention of the load.
So you think multiple uses of a taser even after the person is handcuffed is appropriate use of force for someone forgetting their student ID?
I expected to see police brutality, not a model of LEO restraint and professionalism.
If the jackass had left when told, he wouldn't have forced that situation. I was astounded at the restraint the cops showed. In my opinion, once he'd taunted them and refused to walk, they should have hog-tied him and dragged him by the feet face-down out of the building. Three or four marble steps, maybe some textured concrete, and he'd be begging to be allowed to walk. And it wasn't asking for badge numbers that was getting him testy with the jerk poking him in the chest. Any appendage thrust violently at a police officer should come back as a bloody stub. I hope the video can be enhanced enough to prosecute some of that mob.
Just because somebody screams a lot doesn't mean you have to let them have their way. Those students obviously come from backgrounds where screaming got them their way, and to them, refusal to defer to a tantrum is socially unacceptable.
Oh, and near as I can tell, unit3 doesn't speak for most of Canada. All the ones I've met are intelligent, reasonable people with minds of their own. Their government seems an anomaly. It's almost as glaring a contrast as France. As a country, they seem almost entirely worthless, but I've never met a Frenchman I didn't respect. I'm seeing a pattern here. Probably my closest friend is a Sunni muslim Arab. Maybe it's just that the best and brightest from all the world find their way here, which gives me an unrealistically high opinion of mankind in general.
If those were HR systems, HIPPA applies, and the only discretion left to the company is that left to the trucker on a deserted country road, looking down at the headless corpse of the bicycle rider he just caught with a tire on his way to wash his truck.
The safest thing for the contractor to do is to release a hint on an online discussion board populated by curious, intelligent technical people, and let nature take its course.
For when your data is so incriminating that you can't risk its recovery out of your control, some vendors offer a "keep the drive" policy... at least that's what Dell called it when they were pitching to us last week.
That was precisely what I was going to use as an example, though any turn-taking game should be fine. Realtime and latent are contradictory concepts. Every network has some latency. On most, even dialup, the latency is small compared to human perception. When your latency in an interactive activity becomes large enough that an enemy can kill you and strip your corpse before your session shows his presence, it's not a lot of fun. Conversely, if you host the game, nobody will want to play with you. On the other hand, FreeCiv loses nothing to latency. We used to play at work, with sometimes hours before the next player flipped to the session and took his turn (We were, after all, actually working). We had little balls of aluminum foil burrito wrappers we'd throw into each other's cubicles to signal turn handoff.
Actually, I was thinking "Hey you
Don't watch that
watch this
this is the heavy heavy monster sound
the nuttiest sound around
so if you've come in the off the street
and you're beginning to feel the heat
well listen buster
you better start to move your feet
to the rockinest rock steady beat of madness."
Of course, that may be because I happen to have that on CD in my jeep, and like to let just the initial shouted exhortation out at full volume as I pass crowds.
About an hour from now, my son and I are going to be in the jeep on a shelf road high in the Rockies, working our way over rocks with an old live version of "The Narrow Way", or perhaps "Cymbaline", so my PF geek cred remains intact.
What's that? Why, yes. I AM a loser. Why do you ask?
If your vendor is reputable, your data will be destroyed from the disks you send back... either wholesale drive destruction, platter destruction, or platter degaussing. I don't know what happens with other vendors besides IBM, Sun and HP, and hope to never have to find out.

Even better, to get your point across, print out the emailed rejection of your recommendation, with said recommendation including a good explanation of the consequences. Take that paper copy to the highest-ranking rejector and request that he sign it. That takes it to a new level in the mind of an ass-covering management weasel. Then, even if doomsday comes before you desert them, and they try to feed you to the courts, you hand that document to the prosecutor.
Yep. I built one in the late 1970s.
Fun kit, but I wasn't permitted to do any test glides, since it was a 4-H project, and all they grade on there is the paint job, so it turned out to be a bit noze-heavy. The full-sized project on which it was based was unflyable at transitional angles. Perhaps computer-mediated fly-by-wire will make it feasable this time. I always thought they should have given up on flying it angled. Just take it very high, slow to stall speed, fold the wing while falling out of control, hit the power, and recover.
