It doesn't take 30 minutes to explain to any non-technical person the concept of "the date of this article is earlier than the date their patent was filed on".
I know slashdotters are intellectual snobs (they shouldn't be), but lots of people other than you get "dates and time".
If they have reasonable cause to suspect there's evidence on the HDD, but it's encrypted, they go get a judge to issue a warrant for your keys/passphrase.
Then when you refuse to give it up, you're burned for violating a direct court order, and impeding in an investigation, etc.. You may end up in deeper sh!t than where you started. Judges dont cotton to hiding/destroying evidence, and they really get pissed off when you directly defy their orders.
People are stupid - case in point - your idea is stupid.
TFA sucks, but I'm going to guess that this AP wasn't open.
It seems unlikely that they'd want their first case to be that shaky.
Or, since it seems to say he was seen sitting in his car, and cops were called because that raised suspicion - he could have openly admitted to the officer what he was doing, and you wouldnt need any evidence past that.
Whats the deal in the UK, are court records not available?
I know in Canada, at least, the system is a little less transparent.
Look at the guys map, South America, and surprisingly - Asia, seem to have the slowest uptake.
The map doesn't have US specifically, but go ahead and assume that North America means USA only. We don't pay much attention to mexico or canada either.
the summary says the australian government MAY propose new laws..
I'm not up to par on the finer points of aussie government, but it sounds like this nerd rage wankoff is based simply on speculation of something that might happen. Like the "Canadian DMCA" article.
My university made me use Pine to read email for fuck sakes!
vi and emacs deserve honorable mention, what's more annoying than two dillholes scratching their neckbeards, straining to find that ultimate zinger that will crown their favorite text editor as the victor in the FAGGIEST FLAME WAR EVER WAGED.
I've only seen this, which has no quotes, or supporting links, and starts with "Yep, despite the fact that he's a known liar,".
Not that I'm saying this is fake, but it sure reads like fake.
Do you have a link to any sort of statement/quote that he made? Or is this pro-gaming a-holes doing exactly what you're accusing him of, exploiting this tragedy to push their (anti-thompson) agenda?
Slashdot Mirror
I'm sure they didn't even think of that!
Good thing you pointed it out!
You rock man!
A cloned cow is genetically the same as the first cow.
So I guess it would depend on how the first cow tasted.
I guess the worst that could happen is I eat some retarded inbred cow or something, but I'm sure plenty of cows are retarded and I've eaten 'em.
Bitching about newly issued equipment is army tradition.
And what the hell does Ghost Recon 2 have to do with anything?
Real life isnt the same as a video game? Then why did I feel so huge after I ate those mushrooms?
HOWEVER... Defendants CAN be compelled by the court to provide: ...
- encryption keys to enciphered data
is that not exactly what I said?
China has been pretty frank about not giving a crap about piracy.
Who are the 244 morons who actually paid?
Vonage isn't a major company by any means.

I know what I mainly need from an "office suite" is just a good word processor, one that doesnt lag 10 keystrokes behind me typing a simple letter.
I don't want to buy or install a whole office suite, just the apps I need. Why does it all have to be bundled with junk I dont care about?
Googles gettin a lil big for their britches. I think its time to turn a good hard cynical eye towards everything they do.

Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you have the right to.
If its in the headline, it really should be in the summary - or at very least the linked article.
Or is it based on a statement made by some anti-industry rep?
The guy is going to look like a real froot-loop.
Nothing less.
If someone could set up shop pressing 8-tracks, they'd sell too.. People collect 'em
12" records have nice art and look good on the wall, etc.
How do you figure the US is lagging behind?
Look at the guys map, South America, and surprisingly - Asia, seem to have the slowest uptake.

It's called Australia throughout North America.
It was called Australia when I went to school in Canada, and it's called Australia in Washington, DC.
Whats Oceania? I thought it was a made-up supernation from Orwell's 1984.
Firefox is fast becoming newspeak for "web browser".

This is an outrage!

What can I do to help stop this menace of "old age" that you speak of?
Radio Shack gave me one for free, and I had some fun hacking code for it to be able to organize my CD collection with a free handheld scanner.
I don't know how they define "annoying". Someone gave me a free gizmo, I don't know why that should annoy me.
Obviously the OP doesn't eat.
And surely you can't think he's having any sex, he seems quite bitter about that.

then how about leaving out the clever tagline altogether?
