The problem is that you are being forced to buy it whether you want to use it or not. They don't make me buy a motorcycle helmet even if I am never going to ride a motorcycle.
First, given the time frames, it's unlikely that one of the pornoscanners could have caused a cancer cluster. What is likely is that one of the luggage scanners was malfunctioning, and killing anyone who spent more than a couple of hours around it, meaning the operators. It has happened before, and the solution to catching it is... having the operators wear dosimeters.
The thing is, if they are this incompetent with known technology, why in the hell are we trusted them with unproven technology whose risks are known unknowns?
There's a slight difference. At least copyright infringement has a purported victim. Drug "crimes" involve willing participants on both sides and no victim.
Yeah, but state interference is like alcoholism. They have to hit rock bottom before they admit they have a problem. Michigan might finally be there, but the rest of us have a ways to fall.
In the unlikely case that you were not: Show me any evidence from a reputable source that Ayers wrote DOMF and that refutes all the statements to the contrary (see 1 or 2 for instance). Tell me why a part-time university lecturer, who in his other job is a State Senator and is campaigning for the US senate needs do scholarly publication (something that is usually of necessity only for full-time tenure-track positions).
Also, since you seem less-than-well-informed about student writing in the HLR: The president of the HLR is also editor-in-chief, and as such contributes as well. The president is selected from the editors, so any president has done some writing before. Most if not all student writing in HLR takes the form of Notes, Recent Cases, Recent Legislation, and Book Notes. The _articles_ in HLR are by professors, judges, and law practitioners, so it is entirely unsurprising that neither Obama nor any of his other sophomore classmates have published any articles in HLR.
He would have published, either before or after, because he is a lawyer. A Juris Doctorate is a doctorate level degree. He is an academic, and law students (promising ones, at least) do write law review articles -- and sign them. Obama didn't so any of the things that a law review editor does -- he didn't write or even cosign on any articles, he's never published as an attorney, and he didn't even get a Supreme Court clerkship like most HLR editors.
He has every appearance of someone who just spending time and checking off boxes on a resume.
If you are a "casual" traveler - i.e. you typically travel for personal reasons or at your own discretion - you're dead on. Southwest, JetBlue and Virgin America are inexpensive, comfortable and usually will get you where you need to go on time. These airplanes don't offer much in the way of perks or status programs (other than getting you a free flight now and then), but as a casual flyer that's not a big deal.
You may want to narrow your generalization there. I'm an A-lister on Southwest, so I think that qualifies me as a fairly often flyer for work. I fly frequent, short haul flights (TX & CA). First, you act like the "usually" is something to scoff. To me, that's a huge deal. AA and its like (Delta and United and all the ones who really want to be a crappy as AA but don't put quite enough effort into it) can be relied on to either delay or flat our cancel my flight regularly. I only fly on them when I can't reach someplace with more than one stop on SWA, and even on those overpriced niche routes, they can't perform. Also, SWA flies its routes frequently enough that I even if one flight is delayed, there is another in 60-90 minutes -- and if I am running late, I can change flights on my phone to a later one with no change fees. If I'm early, I can get the gate agent to put me on an earlier flight, easy-peasy.
SWA gives me perks that I actually want, and a class upgrade on a short haul 1-2 hour flight isn't what I want. Free drinks, free flights. That's what I want. Hot towels and warm nuts don't. Airport clubs aren't necessary when I can rely on being able to show up at an alternate airport (like Love Field) 60 minutes before my flight and get on it on time, rather than having to show up at the airport three hours ahead just to make sure that I can make it through the poxy security and so my luggage actually makes it on the plane.
Plus, I hate flying on MD-80s with a passion. And AA always seems to stick me on an MD-80.
Actually, we don't know any of this about Obama. We know that he didn't graduate Columbia with honors, because they said so. Both he and Harvard have refused to release his transcript. There's very good evidence that he didn't write Dreams of My Father and that Bill Ayers did. His HLR time is moot, because he didn't actually do any work and as President of HLR left all that to the other 80 editors of HLR. His time as a lecturer (which was originally claimed as professor, until it was proven without a doubt that he was never any kind of professor) and on HLR weren't particularly productive, in that he has never published any sort of law article at any time. Ever. Authored: 0.
Obama might be smart. He might not. He's got lots of empty credentials and puffery. Real accomplishments, though, are pretty thin.
Technically, they only get to track the sites that you access by domain name. You can always punch an IP address in and circumvent the DNS system. Start memorizing those porn IPs now!
Cryptographically, it isn't a 4 digit key. It's an AES 256 key, which is significant. The lock on the device is a 4 digit pin with a wipe after 10 attempts, which makes the odds of brute forcing it ridiculously low. And it means that you are ridiculously uninformed on anything cryptographic.
And iTunes backs it up every time it syncs. And will encrypt the backups as well. Which, if you are cryptographically inclined, are on an encrypted volume on your computer.
But wouldn't the evidence of Mediasentry's illegal investigation be the start of a new criminal case against Mediasentry, and possibly the RIAA as the ones who hired the dirty-deed done (akin to someone hiring a hit-man), albeit not in the same category, but similiar... Possibly, but unlikely. And, even if it was, and Mediasentry refused to qualify, the law normally allows the civil court to draw an inference that they are most likely doing it because they are liable (and most likely is the standard of proof.)
The onus must never be on the defendant to prove his innocence.
That is the case in criminal cases. This is a civil case, and the rules are different. In a civil case, it is not unusual for a plaintiff to just be required to show a prima facae case -- a case that is at least sound on its face. At that point, a defendant can be obligated to actively clear his name or let that stand.
Also, the burden of proof is much lower than beyond a reasonable doubt. The standard is usually the preponderance of the evidence, which means "more likely than not" and nothing more. 50.00001% is good enough.
4. The right to drive an automobile.
- This is certainly a privilege, not a right. It is also a privilege that is too freely granted, and too infrequently denied or revoked.
This is certainly treated as a privilege, but it also hasn't come under challenge at the SCOTUS. I believe that there is a very, very strong ninth amendment right to free travel in the manner customary for the time, which for the founders would be by ship, carriage and horseback, and for us would be automobile and commercial airliner. (And that is free travel as in speech, not as in beer.)
You have to either be kidding or you're on Steve Jobs fairy dust. IT organizations absolutely cannot adopt a device for their company that requires applications to be installed exclusively through third-party servers (iTMS) that they have absolutely no control over. There is NO WAY to retain a quality of infrastructure integration within a company without the ability for IT organizations to test and control the release of these applications prior to rollout.
It is a SOX Title IV provision that didn't exist before 2002. It is very real, and it is the sort of thing that the SEC would love to throw Steve Jobs in prison over. And not country club prison with conjugal visits, real Federal Pound You In the Ass Prison.
Sadly enough, getting passed on the right can't be reason alone for a ticket.
It is certainly sufficient in Texas if a "Slower Traffic Keep Right" sign has been posted. You also have to get over when someone behind you starts honking, too -- and none of this speeding up when someone passes you BS:
545.053. PASSING TO THE LEFT; RETURN; BEING PASSED.
(a) An operator passing another vehicle:
(1) shall pass to the left of the other vehicle at a
safe distance; and
(2) may not move back to the right side of the roadway
until safely clear of the passed vehicle.
(b) An operator being passed by another vehicle:
(1) shall, on audible signal, move or remain to the
right in favor of the passing vehicle; and
(2) may not accelerate until completely passed by the
passing vehicle.
(c) Subsection (b) does not apply when passing to the right
is permitted.

There should be technology that can be easily adapted so that we can detect the relative speeds of the cars ahead of us and give the driver the head's up when there's a stop 4-5 cars ahead so they can adjust accordingly.
We have these. They are called eyeballs and brake lights.
Southwest does not board families ahead of the A group anymore. People in wheelchairs and unaccompanied minors go on first, but they are only (as near as I can tell) allowed one other person with them. Then the A group boards, and then families with small children between A and B.

Survivalist / off-grid / sustainable.
Actually the article mentions it -- a lot of it is the prepper community getting geared up for a grid-down situation.
Who says you have to go to a doctor?
The problem is that you are being forced to buy it whether you want to use it or not. They don't make me buy a motorcycle helmet even if I am never going to ride a motorcycle.
It is called Benford's Law, and it has been known for over 100 years. It isn't just pass codes, it is almost all large sets of numbers.
The thing is, if they are this incompetent with known technology, why in the hell are we trusted them with unproven technology whose risks are known unknowns?

Step 1: Hack a transmitter to show the highway completely blocked ahead.
Step 2: Wait for cars to stop
Step 3: Rob the now stopped cars.
Step 3a: Profit!
Yeah, but state interference is like alcoholism. They have to hit rock bottom before they admit they have a problem. Michigan might finally be there, but the rest of us have a ways to fall.
It's called the "free market." Michigan should try it.
Correction -- HLR Presidents usually get SCOTUS clerkships, not HLR editors. Misspoke.

Well, there is heavy suggestion from the structure of the writing that it was Ayers: http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/06/breakthrough_on_the_authorship_1.html And, of course, he admitted it. http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2009/10/bill-ayers-admits-he-wrote-dreams-of-my-father.html

Sounds like Verizon and Blizzard need to fire up the old legal teams and start filing tortious interference suits on Cogent.
