I'm glad these articles focus on the negative facts that police have trouble with, and not the USEFUL part of remote data wipe so that millions of customers data can be deleted when a device is lost...
Yeah, that would be useful. How do you do that on an iPhone? I thought that the lack of that feature was one of it's problems for Enterprise.
On what grounds would it be pulled off of YouTube?
Grounds? Youtube takes down anything whenever *anyone* sends something that vaguely (really) resembles a proper DMCA takedown notice.
Safe legal ground, but they're starting to piss off a subset of their users who expect the creators of a community to put up a modicum of defense for said community.
Equating "I took the initiative in creating the internet" with "I invented the internet" marks the one who is doing the equating as lacking in very basic reading comprehension.
Since that's exactly what politicians are hoping for when they use that construction, it's incumbent upon us to ridicule them in kind.
Remember where you are. I think it's safe to say that a *lot* of people around here would.
Myself, I'm going to get a souped-up golf cart and cite Casey Martin as a precedent.
I'd say the system of checks and balances is pretty much moot anymore, considering how much power the judicial system has gotten in the past 10 years. And not to mention private groups (hell, Mr. RIAA) getting nearly the power of a government body, when it comes to controlling citizens.
Well, that's two. Add in the obvious Executive overreach, and it's a hat trick. And the rest of us are on the losing team.
Actually, it probably would have. If the 19 terrorists had gone to the next level, and started killing passengers and stews, one a minute until the cockpit door was opened...how long do you think the pilots would have held out? About 2 mins.
Not if I was the pilot.
Your larger point stands, and the fact is, of course, that the threat of 9/11 ended in a field in PA.
But that message doesn't help anyone in office, does it?
The best solution might be if ISPs would willingly be the MX for a current customer's personal domain. Then when you change ISP, you update your domain record and your new ISP adds the domain to their cw file.
Thank you. That's the kind of thing I was thinking of. People around here can be a bit too concrete in their thinking.
The real difficulty might be having something like a readable email address that's globally unique, nodody wants their email address to be ghh3ycqyucbdd.email but there's a lot of john.smith out there.
True, but "JohnSmith.GobbledyGook.email" should be fine. It's relatively rare to actually manually enter an email address these days (at least in my experience.) Once it's in your address book, auto complete should relieve you from typing the whole thing out.
Of course, there are a whole lot of other schemes that could more closely emulate the type of addresses we're used to. The point is that it isn't all that difficult a nut to crack.
You need to read up on how the internet naming works before you make such ridiculous assertions.
Yeah, because that's SO different from how telephony worked before they actually did solve that problem. I guess I should just not use my phone now, because I'm not in the area code it says I am.
That was just a technical challenge. An email address has the provider right in the freakin' address.
So that's your technical challenge. It shouldn't be much harder than managing phone numbers, which have your "geographic location" right in the freakin' number.
Slashdot Mirror
Fermat called, with the help of a medium. He wants his cryptic margin annotations back.
I want some more annotations myself.
Specifically, on the Cryptomnicon/Baroque scale, which one is this closer to? (It doesn't matter which you consider the high end of that scale.)
Looks to me like a joke.
To me too. Problem is, this kind of stuff is all sorted out by lawyers, who don't have a sense of humor that they are aware of.

No, the advertisement authority did the right thing here. "The entire internet" is a lofty claim, and Apple isn't living up to it.
Who does? Seriously, is there any computer that can take advantage of everything out there?
Especially for those who have their mother's maiden name as either a middle name or part of a hyphenated last name.
A worthwhile post, glad I read it.
What a freaking waste of time my time, you contradicted yourself and it wasn't even funny.
Wow, the mods are humorless today.
Thank god the mods are keeping the trolls at bay!
Anyway, Gabe and Tycho seem to like it.

Grandparent was perfectly clear to me. I had to read yours twice to figure out which 'they're' confused you, though. :/

Yup. Obviously *temporal* trade is where the money is.
Attica! Attica! :P

I see your Orwellian fear and raise you Brazil !!
Call. Full Gattica! Woo-hoo!
Y'know, fans of Quantum Leap of all shows should expect and even appreciate that kind of thing.
"Al, why haven't I leaped yet?"
"Well, this isn't Fox, for one thing..."
"Three, sir!"
Tøndel must now make his claims against alleged pirates in a civil court.
Nooooo! The humanity!!! Think of the terrorists/children!
Barely off topic: How hard is it for a Yank to immigrate to Norway?
Selling out over 140,000 tickets in 20 minutes? Playing 21 consecutive concerts in London? People pay attention to Prince.
Of course. That's why his rich-guy-rummaging-for-coins-in-the-sofa routine is so ridiculous.
Hell, I bought Prince cassettes when I was a lad. But I'm done with him. He can party like it's the last century all he wants.
Then again, it'll never catch on. Who's ever gonna download more than 2mb anyway? The tubes would get clogged!
It's OK, Comcast will block it.
