So saying that a connection must be secure immediately raises the question: how secure?
Are they responsible if a neighbor guesses a WEP password and downloads kiddie porn?
Are they responsible if they have a fully patched Windows box, with virus checking, but get compromised by a virus missed by those safeguards and become part of a botnet?
If a criminal breaks into the house while they're on vacation and makes a bunch of purchases with fraudulent credit card numbers, are they still responsible?
Mid-end is almost as jarring to the grammar nodes of my brain as "incentivize."
I felt the same way about that word, figuring it was an over-conjugation for which "incent" would suffice. But I was surprised to find that in the dictionary I checked, "incent" wasn't listed - just "incentivize".
You just made my point. You pledge "Until Death do us part" but some just don't keep that pledge. And of those that have already proven not to keep that pledge, they are more likely not to again...
I don't think GP did make your point. There's still a key open question: does being unfaithful to your spouse correlate with political corruption?
such as a police escort to speed their way to a private museum party where they screened the most recent Harry Potter movie and were given a free Xbox 360.
Before I get too angry, I should make sure I'm clear on something. Does this mean Microsoft paid money for people to get preferred treatment on the roads?
How dare they manufacture a product that could harm people! They should change their company and make harmless, useful equipment like baseball bats, kitchen knives, and tire irons.
The term electronic police state describes a state in which the government aggressively uses electronic technologies to record, organize, search and taze its citizens.
If you treat me like an animal don't be surprised when i bite you in the face.
We each only get one trip on this ride. Don't lightly throw it away.
Because it's controlled by lawyers, politicians, and the wealthy. Common sense, from a common citizen's perspective, will never be an emergent property from such a system.
That, my friend, is the reason it isn't happening. Find ways to reduce the corporate influence and money in these fights first and then there is a chance.
I agree, but all the solutions I can think of are pretty scary to me.
Hugo Chavez. I don't see that guy ever losing an "election".
Cuba's revolution. I wonder when their next election will be?
There's been dozens of Myspace and Facebook clones out there. None have particularly succeeded. The underlying tech isn't what drives their success. It's the ability of their Marketing Droids to convince people that the emperor is really not, in fact, stark naked.
I think what really drives Facebook is that it reached the critical mass to get a strong network effect.
As you pointed out with the source code, there are numerous sites that could have served the role Facebook presently serves. I suspect this is a system that was destined to converge on one particular website, but was chaotic with respect to which site would get the crown.
The Trust has given its blessing to New Line for Guillermo del Toro to film The Hobbit and for New Line to make other films based on Tolkien's work. Much rejoicing!
I don't think we know whether or not to do much rejoicing until we see it.
Contrast The Matrix vs. the 3rd Matrix movie, or Star Wars Episode IV vs. Episode I, or early vs. later Aliens movies. Or, more optimistically, Peter Jackson's 2nd and 3rd LOTR movies vs. his first one.
I'm just saying that some sequels/prequels can be bad enough that we wish they'd never gotten legal approval to exist.
my darknet effectively utilities rsa/blowfish. not for long apparently.
No worries. We'll change it for you, Steve O'Connel from 42 Elmwood Ave., Chicago. You should take the night off - you're girlfriend will be ordering out for burritos. Bad news though, she's renting a chick flick.

Correction. I read the Ars article, and the trouble you can get into is regarding copyright violations that occur on your connection.
So all of my examples in the parent post should be modified to talk about copyright infringement as the illegal activity.

The U.S. Navy's and Marine Corp's NMCI computing infrastructure is all Windows XP. Let's see whether or not Microsoft withholds a patch from them.

But when it starts telling me the C:\ drive on my Linux box is infected it's hard to stop laughing.
You moron, it was complaining about your .wine directory!

I know I want high wattage wireless power beamed directly at my forehead. I don't know about anyone else, though.
What are you talking about? You and I were just discussing that before you...
Oh. I don't want the beam either.

No, crow bars. You must be new here.

I can see it now...
Me: Tell me Doc, do I have HIV?
Doctor: Well, yes and no.

Having actually tried this on three windows 7 machines now, ...
You must be popular with your coworkers.
Since we're talking about different Intel chip lines...
I've been laptop shopping, and I've seen two different kinds mobile processor names: P* vs. T*. For example, P8600 and T9600.
Could someone explain to me the significance of 'T' vs. 'P'?
If you hadn't patented it, that is. Instead, if a hobbyist tried to do that, you could sue him.
Thanks.

That's what she said.
dyld - noun. A reminder that regardless of age, you'll always have an adolescent sense of humor.
In case you've never heard this joke before, the reference is older programs that would prompt "Type any key to continue..."
WOOSH!!!!
That's the kinda factors an idiot would have on his luggage.
What kind of asshole would set his RSA factors to 1, 3, 5???

This might be off-topic, but you got me curious: What's the answer?
