Yes, because later there is Google Indian call centers calling and visits from Google's net ranges.
While the evidence does look damning, there is no direct evidence that the calls came from a Google call center. There is clear evidence that the numbers being called were scraped from one of Google's IP addresses, but it is possble that a rogue employee is passing the IP addresses to someone who then pretends to be Google. The claim to be calling and promoting what appears to be a Google property (GKBO) may not be true. Mocality should have had someone pay the $200 via the call center and then see where the money really went.
Moglen comes across as a complete dick in that interview, and quite hysterical, with a bit of a big-brother fetish. Much like Doctorow (also mentioned in TFA) who seems to revel in his little-brother fantasies entirely too much.
No, the reporter is the dick. Moglen is just consistently putting forward his point and the reporter is lamely making excuses for his failure to accept the advice. Anyone who asks for advice and then makes lame excuses for not following it it is a dick.
Look for a charter school in your area that will nurture her talent, or go the homeschooling route (or maybe a hybrid -- a charter school dedicated to supporting homeschooling). There are plenty of resources available to support homeschoolers and it really isn't difficult if your child is self-motivated.
A while back I hit 100 on my car (long stretch, downhill, straight, and I could see for miles, and no cars) and at that speeds it was difficult to make the minor changes to keep me straight on the road
Without delay, take your car to a competant mechanic and have him check over the suspension, steering, tires, etc.. You should not have any problem keeping a car going straight at this speed, unless it was very windy, even on US roads.
Internet access isn't a human right just like access to running water or electricity aren't human right -- it's not absolutely necessary for life, but it's still pretty damn important.
I think his point is that the technology by which you obtain such things should not be considered a right. For example, While having ready availability of water is important, the way it is delivered may not be -- having water delivered through pipes by your local water company is not really necessary -- you could have a well instead. The Internet is a delivery mechanism and what it delivers is vitally important, but other delivery mechanisms may make the Internet obsolete in the future.
Penalizing all stockholders for the crimes of others is hardly fair.
Punishing stockholders provides an incentive to hire trustworthy CEOs and to manage them properly.Actually, I think that possibly the most needed change in US laws could be to increase the power of stockholders of public companies. Make the board and CEO really responsive to the stockholders.
The polygraph is just one part of the science used to detect lies, not the sole source.
I don't think you understand the word "science". Science is more than repeatable results.
Sure, it can detect variances in physical attributes that are tied to lying,
No, actually, when scientific methods have been used, it has not shown to be effective at detecting lies. In fact, it has been shown many times that it is trivially easy to fool. The polygraph may detect certain responses, but there is no science that links those responses to lying. In other words, science, when applied to the polygraph shows that it is not effective.
The real problem with relying on crutches such as the polygraph is that a negative result is more likely to allow a real spy (who would know how to "pass" a polygraph test) to continue undetected than not using the tool at all.
What is necessary, are external filters for the specific frequencies/bands, but stuffing different filters/antennas on essentially the same board doesn't really hurt economies of scale,
That's fine as long as you plan to use your phone only in one country and one operator.
I would have more respect for them if they did not rely on an instrument that is easily fooled and has no scientific basis for its use -- the polygraph.
The polygraph is the security industry's equivalent of chiropratic to the medical industry.
Members of the EU are often referred to as Member States. Or Constituent Countries.
Just to make things more confusing, member states can themselves be comprised of multiple countries (for example, the United Kingdom is a member state, but the UK is comprised of several countries).
Which specific people in "the banking community" would you have arrested, and for what specific crime?
Do you really think that Raj Rajaratnam and the few people around him in Galleon who pleaded guilty are the only people in hedge funds making money from insider trading?
Yeah, first they say they don't sniff your traffic, then they say this, then that, then they pull the "not without our secret magic decoder ring" argument.
And then there are rather disingenuous "we don't know what the carriers are doing with our software" claims.
This company has a history of providing statements that are either untruthful or less than complete. Why believe them now?
Would the judge have come to the same conclusion if a car manufacturer released a mandatory update that removed cruise control?
If, in your pleadings, you don't state how the law entitles you to damages for the removal of cruise control, then, yes, the judge would come to the same conclusion. Read the summary -- the judge says somthing like: "yes, the plaintiffs were harmed, but they have not explained how the law allows them to recover damages from Sony"
There was a case reported in the UK in which a woman got a ticket for taking a drink from a water bottle, while stationary at some traffic lights. Depending on how you performed the actions, every one of those listed could get you a ticket in the UK ("driving without due care and attention").
After Job's died I said Apple is gonna start to slip cause without job's apple wouldn't be here and without him its only a matter of time.
Not sure what your point is. This strategy of using a patent troll to harass competitors was planned and started under Jobs. Jobs must have signed off on the idea.
I'd definitely be a little careful about the first few batches of new drives that come off those assembly lines,
I'm not sure how you would tell. I had a WD drive fail after a few hours of use last year and its replacement will consistently fail after about 900GB is written. According to the SMART data it is perfect, but irrespective of the enclosure it is in, or the cables used, or the host it is connected to, I get I/O failures after writing ~900GB of data (on a 1TB drive).
I have several Centos servers (as well as Gentoo servers and desktops, Ubuntu Desktops, etc.) that I adminster and I just installed Mysql and phpmyadmin the other day. So, I am quite confident in what I write. Perhaps you have a desktop machine that you play with?
But, since you are a self-important twit, let me demonstrate that you are wrong:
Installing:
mysql-server x86_64 5.1.52-1.el6_0.1 updates 8.1 M
SEE -- It's not even configured to start on boot up. So, concrete proof that you don't know what you are talking about. Moving on:
# service mysqld start
Starting mysqld: [ OK ]
Did you see it ask for a password? No. Did you see it get started automatically? No. Now, who is really full of shit? FYI, Ubuntu would probably start the mysql server after installation, but Centos does not, nor does it ever ask for a password.
MySQL would have started itself after installing the package
That (incorrect) statement shows that you are not familiar with Centos.
So, where's the part when you install phpmyadmin and it asks you for passwords?
yum install phpmyadmin
Then you have to configure it. You may choose to protect the phpmyadmin installation with passwords, but (under Centos), nothing forces you to do this. The install defaults to phpmyadmin being allowed only from localhost, so there is a tiny bit of security.

Isn't creating an account in a fictitious name illegal? Haven't people been prosecuted for this?

Yes. IQ Routes on TomTom is precisely this. I assume other GPS unites have something similar.
Key word: "rental". Probably a previous renter had hit a kerb and ruined the front alignment, thus making the car unstable.

I saw some figures recently that showed one Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S 2) outselling any individual model of iPhone.

Not on Centos, and I assume Red Hat.
It wasn't -- according to the Register, the mark of a good cracker was the ability to use Google.
