“Whilst you have indicated that your actions were motivated by an attempt to show that it is possible for a wrongdoer to obtain unauthorised access to Pillar's systems, your actions may themselves be considered a breach of section 308H of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) and section 478.
What the hell kind of logic is that? If this stands then every independent security researcher ought to leave Down Under at once and leave them to find out that White Hats != Black Hats through direct and painful experience. What a bunch of jokers.
I'm sure that they are easily distinguishable from the back.
Also, they are distinguishable where they are sold: Apple Store or !Apple Store.
And no doubt distinguishable by price.
But most of all, they are distinguishable by the operating system they run. You either want to be in the Apple ecosystem (aka Walled Garden) or you don't. And you should be able to buy the tablet of your preference based on this fact. This whole lawsuit is as anti-consumer as it gets because Samsung isn't producing iPads. While they may still be producing the CPU of the iPad, the Samsung product is not an iPad and can't replace an iPad because it doesn't run Apple iPad software. So Apple is trying to kill a product that doesn't directly compete with the iPad because if you want an iPad than no substitute will do.
Because it's just a bullshit Republican talking point? The so-called "Czars" are just nicknames for positions with long, tongue-tying titles. We've been using the term since the days of Nixon. It's only when the GOP decided they sooner burn down the country than let someone else lead it that they decided to start a fuss about the nicknames.
Not true at all. These unelected, unconfirmed, czars are being given unconstitutional powers never seen in any previous administration either Republican or Democratic.
No sarcasm intended, but why is it a big deal when the US government is working with the two entities most closely related to the issue of US laws being violated?
That's like asking why the National Labor Relations Board is stacked with former union heads and works so closely with those unions. The other side, whether it be consumers or employers -- and even employees themselves -- have no seat at the table. Tell me now that's fair representation?
And people wonder why we are currently protesting in the streets over corporate greed and its manipulation of our nation's ideals, while steadfastly refusing to admit to ourselves that our man Obama is nothing more than a puppet perpetuating the very things we think are wrong in the system, or that his administration is just as bad as the one which went before. So we have a plan to Change things by holding signs which speak out against the actions of Obama's principal campaign donors, and getting the MM to show us at 5 and 11, in the Hope that maybe just maybe he will finally do those things he promised us he would do, but until now has just lied about. Think it will work?
Congratulations for the perfect definition of the Liberal disease of Cognitive Dissonance.
I'm not saying that traditional classroom teaching is the only, or even the best, way to educate people. I'm just saying that some kind of face-to-face interaction is vital, for most students and most subjects.
And you have never heard of webcams and Facetime[tm]? Oh wait, you're trying to outlaw that too.
I think the 'Chuch' regretted when Gutenberg enabled reproducing so many Bibles that any clod (with enough money to buy one) could read id and come up with their own interpretations.
You clearly don't know your history. The Church loved it - the moment they realized that it made the printing and sales of indulgences far easier than it had ever been before.
God invented whiskey so the Irish would not rule the world.
And God invented Scotch to stop the Scots.
And God invented the Welsh tongue to stop the Welsh.
And God invented the Scots and the Welsh to stop the English.
If you think featherbedding is the norm among academic faculty, you don't know enough about academia to have a meaningful opinion on the subject.
I never said that featherbedding in academic faculty was the norm. Perhaps it is only starting here. But that clearly doesn't stop you from completely misrepresenting my statement into a form so that you can attack it.
In a reasonable country, Facebook would be a criminal enterprise. At minimum, they have committed theft of your personal information and now claim that it is their to do with whatever this week's posted ToS says that they can.
is there anyone watchdogging Spamhaus' watchdog efforts?
You seem to have a basic misunderstanding of Cause and Effect. Spamhaus can't actually withhold anything. They can suggest to others that those other parties might want to withhold their goodwill of an abuser, but by itself Spamhaus is completely powerless. It is only when other people agree with them that the group as a whole acts against those who abuse us through our technology. And that group action is entirely legal.
And Heaven help is if it ever does become illegal.
...organizations like Spamhaus and Cisco SenderBase need to take some responsibility to ensure that they are not unduly effecting legitimate businesses and networks. Taking large-scale blanket actions that effect many legitimate sites undermines the anti-spam industry as a whole, because it makes it more difficult for people to rely on anti-spam products/services.
Spammers hide among legitimate businesses and hosting providers often don't do enough, unless their feet are continually held to the fire, to weed them out. Spamhaus can't cut off the account of the abusers at the various hosting providers, so they do the next best thing and make it in the best interests of those hosting providers to clean up their acts. Just take a moment to think about where we'd be without Spamhaus.
Right, except that many people just configure their mail servers to take that opinion as gospel, and spamhaus certainly makes it easy to do so and encourages it.
What other people do is not Spamhaus's responsibility. If I were to post here to Slashdot for everybody to take all of their money and throw it into the ocean to support world peace, I'm not responsible that somebody actually did that. Put the blame where it actually lies, and it doesn't lie with Spamhaus.
Spamhaus publishes their Opinion about who are spam problems. It's a lot like Slashdot posts, which are the various contributor's Opinions. You can individually choose to believe, or not believe, any post(s) that you wish. And other ISP's can choose to accept, or reject, Spamhaus's Opinions about who and where troublesome spammers are. An Opinion is a very long way away from the accusation of Judge, Jury, and Executioner and only a fool would have made that unwarranted leap.

Do you expect rationality from Joe "You Lie!" Barton.
Except that it was a lie.
Maybe you should try a different example next time.
We already know where Congress's collective head is, and it's not wrapped around any browser.

Yes, the President is truly an Empty Suit. Doesn't get more transparent than that.

You should be protesting right in front of The White House.
And you're surprised by this why...? Because it's BHO instead of GWB? Get real!
And no doubt it will be called (wait for it) Project Genesis.

Unions fighting to keep featherbedding in place and prices high. Just another reason that unions have far outlived their usefulness.
Because it's Apple it is suddenly world changing technology. Had it been anybody else it would have been: Well when Apple implements it properly...

We all know which way the Court has sided recently.
Yes, on the proper side of the issue.
