Seriously. We're not talking about the CIA here. You want to build a Stingray? There are plans online. It's not hard. If I was a crook I'd say let 'em use one against me in the way you're suggesting. Without a court order it gets thrown out. If you want to stop worrying about the rest of the bad guys out there then go have a look at what Bernie Sanders is doing...
Dailymotion is French (no DMCA) and Vimeo is owned by the media industry itself, and they're not going to sue themselves. The DMCA is pretty draconian. For google to hang on to it's safe harbor protections they've pretty much got to drop the ban hammer. It's the way the law was written. Don't like it? Write a letter (by hand) to your congresscritter.
there's plenty of cases where we've run roughshod over the US Constitution in the pursuit of terrorism. The Constitution is, after all, just a piece of paper. And besides I can in both cases say that your right to free speech hasn't been compromised. You're free to talk, but not necessarily to talk in private; especially not about crimes. The 4th doesn't help either since you have to prove "unreasonable". The 5th is useless to. In fact, it's sort of the problem. We can't compel a witness to give encryption keys up, so we use a back door to get at the information. That's perfectly consistent with due process.
You're not going to get anywhere appealing to the constitution. If you want encryption you're going to have to convince the portion of people who vote that it's in their best interests to have it. Good luck. I mean it.
they just put cops in vans and had them "issue" each ticket. They also tend to keep them out of wealthy neighborhoods where people have the time and money to fight something like this.
and have a half second or so of a 4 way red to clear the intersection. It doesn't add any congestion and it makes the intersection completely safe except for drunks (who you weren't going to stop anyway).
it's the folks that have been cutting taxes for 30 years without any new sources of revenue. They still want roads, and police, and fire departments and all that nice stuff. So cities have to find other ways to pay for it. This is the sort of twisted mess you get when you drink the kool-aid at the tea party...
I think the point is that if you're in favor of encryption then you use the analogy to control the debate and shut down the anti-encryption side, since they're usually also opposed to gun control.
I find AMD has much, much better image quality though. Even with my crappy color vision I can see it. OTOH their drivers are notoriously unstable since the 9800 line. I miss my die shrunk 9800.... Time passed it by when it couldn't run Street Fighter IV...
If we're going to have a world where the conversations of private citizens cannot be eavesdropped on then it's a natural by product that criminals and terrorists will also benefit from this. You can't have one without the other. If we knew the terrorists from the legit citizens we could block them from using encryption, but if we knew that we wouldn't be having this conversation, now would we?
What I've found is that it's mostly right wing folks who want these laws. In America the solution is to point out that encryption control and gun control are basically the same thing. They don't like gun control, so it shuts them up. I'm largely indifferent either way. I'm more concerned about economic issues like H1-B and guest worker programs and the high cost of my child's education.
and pointed out why it doesn't work. Stuff like the laws of conservation of energy & inertia. You're just trolling, and not doing a very good job of it either...
unless it's a _lot_ of money. Most private schools keep their grade point average up by expelling low performing students. All the Charter schools do this. Had a dirt poor neighbor who managed to get her kids into one of the nicer charter schools. It was brutal. If their GPA dropped below a B they were kicked to the curve. The Public Schools don't have that luxury. In most places these days they can't even suspend students. They're just being set up to fail so that rich assclowns can privatize the school system and skim 10-20% off the top.
Academia isn't terribly left wing except for a few examples the right wing press likes to trot out for people like you. That said, you know we _can_ just give both sides equal representation. Maybe not 100%, but we can do a lot better job than we're doing now.
or at least I did. My economics course in High School was a propaganda platform for capitalism. There was no discussion of other competing systems, even in a bad light. Nor was there any criticism of capitalism whatsoever. Looking back it's more than a little disturbing. I was very clearly being indoctrinated into a certain way of thinking. We can argue whether it was the right or wrong way to think, but it's still indoctrination, and I was still being encouraged to accept something on 100% faith in what was supposed to be a place of learning...
Their existing developers were none too happy about all the time they spent on native apps being made worthless under a deluge of quick and dirty ports.
back in the old days you couldn't just declare there were no qualified applicants and bring over an H1-B. You had to settle for someone without a college degree. Because of this there was still a future for people who didn't finish college. Now outside of diesel mechanic it's a death sentence. You'll never make more than $15/hr (give or take for your region) because why the hell would I take a risk and spend money training some punk without a degree when I can get an H1-B fresh off the presses, run him/her into the ground for 4-8 years, ship them back a broken person and move on to the next one. Work life balance? Who the fuck cares? Just bitch about precious little snowflakes or something and everyone will turn a blind eye to how I treat people...
the job market is. Outsourcing + H1-Bs (insourcing? idk...) means it's hard to get a job in your field and you settle for something that pays less. This is what happens when countries swing so far right they stop protecting their working class.
you kinda need a computer for that, and getting a cheap, high power computer is kinda nice. Especially with VMs and such. I'm eyeing a faster desktop so I can run more VMs and maybe get back into coding for OSX on a hackintosh.
Black Friday is extremely relevant to nerds. Lots and lots of electronics on sale. It's worthwhile to have a discussion on/., but a discussion means there has to be a story, and what the heck else is a story suppose to cover?
the people involved are global. None of the money was pillaged like in the old days. It was transferred to mega corps with well connected people sitting on their board of directors. It was moved and shuffled around to the right sort of people. You're world view is still local, while the people screwing you over are global.
That's an awfully long post. Touched a nerve did I? Yes, their leaders have wives and jobs. That's because they took them by force. The idea is to build a society where that doesn't happen. You can't do that when Dick Cheney and his cronies are siphoning off 40% of your economy. Notice how little trouble we had with Japan? Look at the difference between how we treated them and how we treat the Iraqis...

Just because some asshats will still break the law doesn't mean we should give up on enforcing it.

and built on an old code base full of jpgs or PNG. A modern "flat" UI does all it's styling in CSS. This has 3 advantages:
1. Saves you bandwidth, since you're not constantly serving up imgs.
2. Saves you CPU cycles, since your pages are simpler.
3. Makes your UI looks faster than it is, which your sales wants so that it looks snazzy when they demo it.

this isn't the 1990s. PCs caught up. Apple didn't bother trying to catch up. There was more money in selling their computers a high end Veblen goods.

Your tasting the spices and preservatives. Bacon's a popular meat to fake with veg protein because of that.

My bro wants a shiny new i7 and a good Asus or gigabyte board. I haven't seen any deals were any better than weekly sales.
