Are you arguing for raising the age of consent to something like 25? Because that's the age by which most experts agree that the brain is fully developed.
I'm always surprised at work when people decide to use Skype for meetings. It's so much easier to use something like Zoom instead - it's a lot more straightforward to use, and there's a lot less hassle involved.
In a lot of other countries (most of them with a better median quality of life than the US) your "liberals" would be considered at best centrist, and in most cases right wing.
It pretty much just means that if the NZ police give the encryption keys to the FBI, the people who handed over the keys can be prosecuted while the FBI happily uses DotCom's formerly-encrypted data against him.
Of course, who's going to actually arrest the people who provide the encryption keys?
I'm much the same (although much lighter on bothering to read the comments). And yes, the beta is a step backwards for this. And I'm likely to visit a bit less often if the beta becomes default, just because the information density is so much less.
It's nice to be able to skim the headlines easily, especially when so many of the stories are either dated or uninteresting. And most of the stories will be uninteresting to a large proportion of the users, just because different stories will be uninteresting to different people. Hence we need to be able to skim easily. Sure, make sure there's enough information presented in as easy to understand a format as possible, but we don't want or need yet another generic eye-candy-heavy news site.
You can opt out of beta if you turn off redirection in your browser. I've had redirects disabled for months, and I didn't even realise there was a new site in the works until I had half the articles in my feed showing as complaints about beta.
If it does, then it's clearly not for the reason stated - if someone has physical or root access to the bank's database server then you're screwed whether you use online banking or now.
If someone has made real efforts to make their system secure, they should have: a bios password (even if only on the bios settings), a boot loader password (so you can't tell the boot loader to add things to the kernel command line without a password), and will use a master password on their web browser if it is remembering login information.
Anyone really serious would also have an encrypted hard drive.
Against all this, you need a real professional. Not someone from whom you're likely to get free advice on slashdot.
Boot Linux with init=/bin/sh, remount the root partition to readwrite, edit/etc/shadow to change the root password to be blank, remount / to readonly, reboot.
If you login as him (similar method to blank his password), you might find that firefox (or konqueror if he used that) is remembering his passwords and logins.
The ability to construct language is genetically ingrained in all human beings, and if vocabulary or grammatical productions are ever missing or inadequate, we have the capacity to create them at will. If you leave some kids alone on an island and let them fend for themselves without teaching them any known human language, it has been demonstrated that they will generate their own complete language from the ground up in precisely 2 generations. This has been demonstrated many times. There is no real need for English language education for native speakers.
You can't walk away from your legs. Not with the same legs, at least.
Nonsense! All it takes is some practice (ok, a lot of practice), and you can walk on your hands! Not a great solution, admittedly, but a somewhat workable one...
Yes, the "nanny state" does frown upon little things like fraud.
Someone can exercise due diligence and still end up with something faulty.
If a manufacturer makes claims as to the fitness for a purpose of their product, then that product should either live up to those claims, or the manufacturer should make reasonable efforts to fix flaws that prevent it from living up to those claims (or the manufacturer should refund the customer, of course). Anything else is either verging on fraudulent behaviour, or is not merely "verging".
If anyone buys anything off the shelf for security, they probably haven't done their homework.
Linux is, in general, significantly better than windows, security-wise, but that isn't really saying much.
If you really want security, start with something like openbsd, keep on top of updates, and expect that any changes you make to get the system usable/useful are probably going to leave you more vulnerable to attack. And never, ever, think that you're completely secure.

Are you arguing for raising the age of consent to 25, then? Because that seems somewhat excessive.
Someone of the age of 16 is not fully developed.

Yeah, that Martin Espinoza guy you replied to should stop hiding behind his lack of anonymity!
Note the use of the word "decide". This means it's a decision they make, where they have other options.
Dumbass.

Yep, we can definitely be certain of one thing. We just don't know what that one thing actually is...
The ruling is aimed at the NZ police. The US government will honour the ruling for as long as nobody is offering them access to the encryption keys.

Anymore? When did the majority of people actually bother to read the articles before posting comments?
Whereas my laptop, with an intel chipset and an uptime of 7 days, is into about 3 gig of swap. At least I now know why. ;-)

On the contrary, it's depressingly often an excellent substitute for insight.
"I used non-standard code on my site and it stopped working. It must be someone else's fault!"
Morons.

It's ok, we'll go at night :-P
Please remember to cite your sources, as unreferenced facts are subject to removal.
Also, you seem to be having trouble achieving a NPOV.
You mean it's a bloated piece of crap implemented in fewer lines of code?
That windows is ready for the desktop? ;-)

Above all else, remember that all software sucks.
