It puts him away WAY longer than when (MyFaceInstaHipsterGmail) "accidentally on purpose" puts your pics marked private up for sale.
Kid needs to get in the social media market.... Like that company selling "short term" photos that automatically delete... You KNOW they gotta be keeping copies!!
The ladies consented to putting their pictures on some random corporate email system. Those systems have ZERO pricacy promised... GOOGLE openly DOES search your stored mail (basically anything you've ever sent or recieved) unless you tell it NOT to. So at some point these pics would leak somewhere else anyway.
Better yet, if the pics were private in Instagram, they just gave them away to anybody who pays money... You KNOW Instagram is going to "accidentally" reset everybody's private pics.. their papa Facebook does it all the time.
Yup... Encrypting your drives with a hammer generally keeps away all bit the most dedicated spooks.
Sad thing is that the kid probably didn't have many friends. And they were probably Bronies... Can't let THAT get out! Maybe he was after elementry kids because their parents were getting the show in trouble.
He probably made random rants, but I don't think they'll find much. Other than a bunch of AC guy posts 90% of people would write off as childish. As this goes deeper, I think he's just an extremely lonely kid, extremely disconnected from society. The top end of the ASD spectrum kids KNOW they don't fit in... And they get REALLY mad about it... But they still cannot do it without extensive help, if ever. Something triggered the kid and he took the most extreme route he could... That screams ASD with no training to deal with it. He just picked something extremely violent and went for it. Maybe he fixated on it, but typically not really.
The only person with warning signs would have been his mom.. He didn't interact with anybody else?? . And she obviously overlooked the violence escalating till it was too late. I'll bet if they look we over she has old bruises from outbursts... But she never told.
Unfortunately, these drives would be like LA to Vegas, or San Francisco to Seattle or Portland in the US. People are so comfortable with hopping on the highway and going, they forget that even 30 years ago the main routes were considered dangerous. In Washington, Oregon, California it is surrounded by impassable Mountians that still get fatal sudden snowfall on pretty marked highways. You still get news somebody died because they got turned around in a storm and got lost.
More importantly, YOUR BOSS purchased the service agreement, not you. As YOUR BOSS was passed the source code in a giant pile box of CDs mailed to the office, YOUR BOSS is not going to HOST the changes for the PUBLIC if YOU unilaterally go posting things on the Internet.
That is how Red Hat maintains some control over their distros. Jack the service price high enough only companies can acquire binaries... And companies treat Open Source like any other product the recieve... The vast majority are not going to post GPL stuff even if they "could" because its not their business.
There is a loophole if you call it that. Say I am like Red Hat and sell support for the binaries I release. I complie with the GPL by automatically mailing a CD with tha dource along with my GPL'd programs, but include a clause in the support contract that I only SUPPORT the versions I provided.
You would be free to pass a copy out... Except YOU would be responsible for the GPL requirements, NOT ME. There is no REQUIREMENT except I pass code out to those that I PASSED THE BINARY TO. Which makes 90% of the whining on Slashdot irrelevant because GPL DOESN'T mean passing the code to the creators or general public... It NEVER did.
They already have this power. Most of these countries have a state owned telco that is the gateway to "the Internet" and the state can walk in and order "the switch" tuned off any time they please.
All you really get out of this is ICANN adding official hooks to BIND so that a country can build into all their routers sold to ONLY contact.ru or.cn sites and prohibit ways around it.
No, you only are required to give source code to those you distributed a binary too. That has been clear for a long time. For instance Red Hat exclusively gives source to paid enterprise customers, those customers aren't "supposed" to give that source code away to other parties depending on how the contract is written.
The whole "app store" concept is RMS worse nightmare. Ideally for an open source app in an App Store, you should be able to get to the source package inside the App. Even for iOS, you should still be able to get the XCode project, but you would need a Mac to compile it..., but the developer needed that too. Apple doesn't like OSS apps for just that reason. But fundamentally there is no problem having signed versions to download for some money.
OSS might thrive more in an App Store ecosystem where devs can get a little money for packaging and bug stomping.
If you can't use apps with fingers... They will die.
THAT is the reason Windows Tablets never caught on for almost 10 YEARS of trying. My doctor office tried giving everybody tablets... It lasted till they all broke, then they went back to laptops on carts.... Why? Because there is no VALUE bolting a pen stylus to a desktop app. Especially for a 50% cost increase.
Lack of software support is a FEATURE that forces people to rethink how the software is used every day. After 20 years of mouse and keyboard, isn't it about time to rethink those things if the chance for newer, thinner devices comes along?
Patents are already fairly well negotiated. Employees work for a PAYCHECK and promise to sign over any on the job patents. This works because a patent is typically something small and specific. The PTO has always required a NAMED inventor and not allowed corporations to put their name in.
On the flip side, copyright by necessity has always had tens or hundreds of people involved. Just your basic daily newspaper has dozens of individual reporters and columnists involved. They have traditionally been salary to do daily research, or paid per specific piece like editorial, etc. not to mention dealing with all the photographers, graphic designers, layout, etc... That could all claim individual "copyright" if the process wasn't streamlined as work for hire.
He's one of those expats that took his millions and left the USA for tax reasons. He's gonna find out that police in other countries don't have nearly as many "hurdles" once his money runs out... That's why taxes can stay so low!!!
But usually the people calling for support aren't the ones who installed the product. Such is the problem with much open source software... A few smart admins use the tools on their own, then move on to lesser admins that aren't quite so clever. Then what was free is suddenly a problem.
But tey don't CLAIM to be using it for class to class attendance. Fry it, then wear it around.... Staff is probably more concerned because it IS a "security risk" to have people running around that don't belong. My local high school had an issue with a 20-something lurking around and ended up in the girls' locker room. Since then, everybody without a lanyard getsstopped and questioned by ANY faculty roaming the halls... Not just "hall monitors".
As an IT person, I'm plain skeptical about the tracking stuff anyway. I'd be 100% certain that nobody in IT is watching this, and nobody in security is watching either. They might have a screen with the little dots moving around, they might pull reports... I doubt the accuracy of any place not staffing 2-3 full time staff on this.
Slashdot Mirror
Trying to outsmart eachother.
XKCD has ways to deal with that....
Ooo, Surface has that kickstand thingy... You could hide a sticky note under there. It really WAS a feature!!! Woah.
If it was more than 6 months old it wasn't private anymore, correct... At least that is what the government claims, right.
If the pictures had as much security as a postcard.

Was it a hack when somebody used a whistle from a Captain Crunch box?

How is Hawaii expensive? It IS a US state after all. And Obama used to live there. So it's not a terrible destination.
So this is Siri getting back for all those crappy jokes....
I don't think she likes you Dave.

Really, AC about wasteful posts.... If we deleted AC posts after 30 days nobody would care either!!!!
Those USED to be called RIGHTS.

No.
It's a garden. It's pretty... They said so.
I think what we're after is a dock for an iPad mini... That has access to the car's information and controls.
Then cars can stay "dumb" but we can have our gadgets too.
This is why a lot of OSS products still have a place for a "key". Then the support information is "greyed out" and people know its not paid for.
