In the same vein, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled on Friday that its citizens have no right to resist even unlawful police entry into their homes.
"We believe... a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence," [Justice] David said, [writing for the 3-2 majority].
TFA says he started from a helicopter then parachuted to the canyon floor. I was expecting something cool, like he started standing on one side of the canyon, flew across it, then landed safely on the other side.
The problem I see is that the "panel" (can it be called a panel if it's only one person?) will most likely have stronger ties to the business community than to, say,/. readers. Even if he's not downright corrupt, I can guess which way his bias will slant, and with a only single hearing officer, the little guy will be all alone.
It's not just computers. You need a car, but don't have the cash and your credit sucks? No problem! They'll just install a "Payment Delinquency" device in it without telling you. They're cheaper than Lojacks.
At least those things aren't privacy invasive like webcams.
I think the surprise is that it came from the NSA. Considering its intended audience, the Consumer Product Safety Commission or some other agency might have been more appropriate.
I guess the question is, for a desired longevity of signal and power source, what method provides the greater chance of detection? Which, I think, boils down to how much power does it take to generate a flash or ping that can be seen or heard for whatever distance seems right for a flight data recorder.
Deep underwater, I think sound is probably better. Above ground, flashing or RF, definitely.
And optical sights reflect light. The remarkable Carlos Hathcock used that to take out an NVA counter-sniper:
The sniper had already killed several Marines and was believed to have been sent specifically to kill Hathcock. When Hathcock saw a flash of light (light reflecting off the enemy sniper's scope) in the bushes, he fired at it, shooting through the scope and killing the sniper.
Thanks. There was only one useful item there, involving Tom Sizemore's conviction for beating up Heidi Fleiss. His attorneys claimed a photo of her injuries was faked. The judge gave prosecutors 60 days to either prove it was real or produce the photographer. Unfortunately, his conviction is still being appealed, and searching for further news takes me to more celebrity news sites than I can take.
What this makes me think is that if the police produce an image of you doing evil, all they need to do is have the photographer show up and swear that it hasn't been altered. This may be why Canon and Nikon don't seem too worried.
I'm aware of all the 'shopped images out there. What I am looking for is a trial where one side or other claimed that an image in evidence was altered to affect the outcome.
Yes. If I were Mr. Miller, I would make an effort to find those who had paid and to reward them. Maybe free groceries, or employee t-shirts, or inviting their families to the next company picnic. The goodwill it would generate might even help recoup some of the losses caused by the dirtballs who stole.
Well, if you're going to send rants to the Postmaster General, it's only fair that you mail them rather than personally dropping them off outside his office.
Vera Svechina, a self-described filmmaker and former stripper, walked undetected into Google's main offices on March 14 and spent several minutes there, Mountain View police spokeswoman Liz Wylie said.
"An administrative staff member returned to her desk and found a book in Russian as well as a letter addressed to the two founders," Wylie told Reuters, referring to Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page.

I read "GPS/transmitter" as "GPS or other transmitter", as opposed to the unambiguous "GPS transmitter". But I see your point.
But the recorder is emitting an acoustic ping, which travels nicely through water.

Has there ever been a case whose outcome depended on the authenticity of a digital image?

You do realize that an empty desk outside of one of the co-founder's offices isn't exactly "a random Google office," right?
