It's one of the classic rules of security, just with a different twist - if you allow someone else to control your lightbulbs, they aren't your lightbulbs any more.
Doesn't "reversing polarity" date back to the Klystron generator from Forbidden Planet back in the 50s, rather than John Pertwee's neutron flow from the 60s?
A clause such as "copyright shall include the exclusive right to exploit the work by making copies of it and by making it available to the public, be it in the original or an altered manner, in translation or adaptation, in another literary or artistic form, or in another technical manner" does not make "translation [...] a copyright owner's exclusive right", any more than it makes reading a copyright owner's exclusive right.
GIven that the material was made completely illegal, then four years later was something that the government wanted everyone to grow, you can be sure that the government's views on it have at least once been entirely bogus. Add to that the fact that the time when it was made not just legal but encouraged was the time when the country was at its greatest need (war time), it's fair to conclude that the prior alternative view was the fake one.
OK, we don't need sails as much nowadays (almost all sails were hemp at one time), but hemp is also a useful ingredient for some polymers, so it does have modern uses too (ones that Dupont probably don't want to see encouraged, for example. And Dupont ain't the least corrupting influence over the government, one might say. http://www.corporatewatch.org/?lid=172 )
But only those who explicitly say that they demand their 4th Amendment rights are covered by it. That's official, SCOTUS themselves have said it.
OK, Alito said it about the 5th Amendment, not the 4th, but what wording in the Bill of Rights singles the 5th out as being the only one that SCOTUS can shit on, or singles the 4th out as the only one they can't shit on?
That's funny, as the scientist modelling the behaviour of nuclear weaponry are perfectly happy to have their supercomputers listed on the top-500 list.
What "very nature" did you have in mind? Are there some enormous furryporn ftp sites that require enourmous supercomputing power that the rest of the world doesn't know about? (Apart from you, that is, obviously.)
> Socialists are famous for liquidating rival factions
Name one. "Socialist" does not mean what you think it means. Having the word "socialist" in a party name is no more an indication that a party is socialist than having the word "democratic" in a country name indicates the country is democratic. (And if anything the *negative* correlation is quite strong.)
Erm - I use linux on servers. I don't have X on those boxes. Any shift away from X to Wayland doesn't affect me at all. Anyone who has X on a server is already a victim of creeping bloat. (Unless they are specifically remote X login servers, in which case, that's fine.)
However, it's one that has been mostly solved. Never bank with a bank that logs you in over anything but HTTPS POSTs. Do not accept certificates by default. Do not accept CA certificates by default (apart from Honest Achmed - I bought a scooter from him, he's trustworthy). Verify new certificates - check the identities of both parties (site + CA). Do not run javascript or other scripts from arbitrary sites. For paranoia, use NoScript's additional protections for XSRF, etc.
You may call me paranoid. I prefer to call it "safe". (In fact, the only reason I accept certificates is as a promise of protection against MITMs. I do not interpret it as in anyway meaning that I actually trust the site to not send me malicious data, for example.)

Can't this just be done in CSS? I thought CSS was supposed to take away the responsibility for making things look good, the HTML was just for the real data now.
So you're saying that if you log in from a new infected machine, your bank obliges you to leak sensitive security information to the keylogger that's been installed there?
Congratulations for feeling all warm and fuzzy from your bank's security measures whilst gaining very little actual security against real threats - that's what they were hoping you'd feel, you're a good customer.
*One time* passwords are the *only* thing that *can't* be re-used. By definition. If your bank does not use them, get a new bank.

I've said "no". Plain text, simple HTML, PDF at a stretch. If you can't work with that, I can't work with you.

I don't like the idea of getting home to an empty fridge and seeing "we have quarantined your cheese" in the logs.

"Trusted" to a cryptographer means "if this guy doesn't do what he claims to, the system breaks". It's nothing to do with being trustworthy.

"You aren't allowed to muck with someone else's work without their permission. That's the whole point of copyright."
It's hard to be more wrong. Parody is explicitly protected under fair use rights.
A clause such as "copyright shall include the exclusive right to exploit the work by making copies of it and by making it available to the public, be it in the original or an altered manner, in translation or adaptation, in another literary or artistic form, or in another technical manner" does not make "translation [...] a copyright owner's exclusive right", any more than it makes reading a copyright owner's exclusive right.
And there I was thinking that the 'dn' on the bottom skirt of the shower cubicle in my hotel room in [Country-not-important] was short for "down"...

Correct. MITM is a real threat.
