Imagine a world where you really could be untrackable and unreachable.... Where you could drive a car and reasonably expect that other drivers were paying attention to only the road. It existed.
You must be REALLY naive then. People stopped paying attention to the road as soon as they had anyone else around, or lipstick or razors or a crossword or a billboard... arguably the biggest lesson cars can teach us is that people are really distractible when doing incredibly dangerous activities that have become mundane.
In some ways it was bad.
Yeah, like the whole being out of touch in emergency situations thing...
I do think astroturfing is a real and pervasive problem, but it's awfully convenient to assume without evidence that any given post *is* astroturfing. You can assume all you want, but your "teaching example" is a just-so-story at its core.
I suspect there's a line of code in the "assignModPoints" function that says something like
if(freaks.contains("pudge")) return 0;
I haven't gotten mod points in a long time either, though I suspect in my case that I had turned off the "willing to moderate" option when it existed in the user options, and unrelated to that pudge foed me at a later time.
WHO has also concluded that there is no convincing scientific evidence that exposure to RF shortens the life span of humans, or that RF is an inducer or promoter of cancer.
This ruling doesn't even have anything to do with planting a tracking device. It is in regards to an individual who has been convicted of multiple sexual offences who has served his time and is being required by the State of North Carolina to wear a GPS anklet for the rest of his life. He challenged that on 4th amendment grounds. NC argued successfully (at the state level) that this requirement is not a search. The SCOTUS disagreed and sent the case back to NC.
Jeez, RTFA.
Combative much? Let me rearrange your words so you can see how it relates to my original point, and you tell me how I did it wrong, and then I'll let you deal with the fact that you're chasing your own tail while barking at me...
NC argued [that] wear[ing] a GPS anklet... is not a search
The SCOTUS disagreed
First line of the article:
If the government puts a GPS tracker on you, your car, or any of your personal effects, it counts as a search—and is therefore protected by the Fourth Amendment.
Jeez, what as that about reading the article again?
Weird, I've never seen it with an S in there, only as LOC and xK LOC. I though maybe it was something different than the LOC counts I'd seen before. Of course, I've never dealt with projects that were in the millions either, so maybe that's why I've never heard the S variations.
Let's take the simplest of all the detection problems. How many lines of code does it take to reliably and safely detect the lane markings of a road? Nobody knows, because nobody has done it yet. Yes, there are prototypes that can handle some sub sets of all cases. The best I've seen handles 90% of the cases. That takes 1 MSLOC and still counting.
Besides, what does Mars have that the moon doesn't? A little more gravity? Shorter days -- that you wouldn't appreciate anyway, buried under your radiation shielding?
Let me stop you right there. Pretty sure Mars has longer days, and I could always use a little more sleep.
They've been doing this for years, and long ago burned out my interest in contributing. I've seen 3 pages I helped create/curate get deleted. Happily 2 of the three eventually were re-created by others a year or two later, but a lot of work was destroyed. Let them have their "The free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" slogan - I'll continue to be a parasite reading without contributing unless they clean up their practices to prevent the destruction of good articles.
But when I did wear one, like most right handed people, I wore it on my left wrist. This gun interlock supposedly has a 10 inch range. Why is no one commenting on that?
Why would you shoot a gun with one hand? Are you trying to miss?
Does it matter if it was malice or vigilantism? Over zealous or mean spirited, he still vandalized all communication around him, even passengers using their phones and other legitimate and safe communications.
Seems odd, considering governments and corporations are simply made up of people, many of which are likely to be below average. Seems like you should trust them less, weakest link in the chain and all that.
The only one who created something from nothing was God. Everyone else has to work with what is already here.
Reality is prior art to "creation" or "God" by billions of years. I would hesitate to call "God" an improvement that built on the original. It's definitely a derivation, though.
So some people didn't like the movie? I did, and I know many people who do to. I personally am interested in a third movie for the movie's sake. If you didn't like the second one, don't pay to see the third. You don't have to see movies you don't like. Riddick rocks and anyone that doesn't think so can just ignore it.
I can provide you with a long list of creators complaining about piracy, if you would like.
A list that includes *all creators* and authorizes you to speak for us? When you say:
Those of us who are creators are very alarmed by statements like this.
you're claiming to speak for a large group that holds a diverse range of opinions. Inflating your personal opinions by pretending you represent a huge group is just goofy.

You must be REALLY young. Just without screens??

If it's not off-site, it's not a backup. It's just another copy.
That seems overly reductionist. I'd guess that onsite backups adequately cover over 90% of data loss situations.

Of course not. If we prosecute them the terrorists will run amok.

Probably not, since this ruling had nothing to do with Stingray.
I guess planting a GPS device to track someone and hijacking their phone to track them are completely different.
So are all StingRay units shut down now? Or is an NDA a good enough reason to ignore the 4th amendment?
Would it kill you to explain even vaguely what this thing does in the summary?
It save data so your Chrome browsing can be analyzed.

What's an emslock?
How the hell do you connect an "Unmodified" original NES to the network? They did not even have network capabilities.
Don't know if they really did it or if it's rigged, but couldn't they put a wi-fi dongle in the cartridge?
And apparently the site I linked does not like hard links. Meh. Whatever. Just image search for "2600 cartridge interior", you will find it.
Here's a link to one of their articles which shows the contents of a cartridge. Hopefully that'll work?
Mars days are roughly the same as Earth days. Moon days are almost the same as the lunar cycle on Earth, so the moon has far longer days.
Roughly the same sure, but longer nonetheless, and certainly not shorter as the post I replied to said.
Besides, what does Mars have that the moon doesn't? A little more gravity? Shorter days -- that you wouldn't appreciate anyway, buried under your radiation shielding?
Let me stop you right there. Pretty sure Mars has longer days, and I could always use a little more sleep.
I quickly found out that the notability idiots over at Wikipedia have repeatedly chosen to target it for elimination.

That's a bit of a stretch... it doesn't even play Candy Crush.

As a matter of fact, the customer is probably a rotten thief. Ubisoft is just treating us all like the criminals we probably are!
