The students were, in fact, allowed to leave school grounds. And part of the problem here is that the criteria for them determining whether the laptop was "stolen" seemed really fragile.
Let's say that you *want* to see pictures taken through the laptops' cameras at random times. What better way to do this than to define a set of rules for when a laptop is considered "stolen" that will commonly trigger the stolen status. Then you can *legitimately* turn on the laptops' cameras frequently.
California has rules on the minimum length of yellow lights. At least one city in CA had to refund a bunch of tickets after someone measured the time the lights were yellow and found that it was too short.
The city had to issue $1M of refunds.
I agree the analysis was simplistic, but maybe I can state it a little more clearly... old monolithic media organizations provide an invaluable service, in terms of investigative reporting
That's why they investigated Madoff and brought about...... uh, wait..... they ignored the information they were given about Madoff and did not investigate.
IMHO, traditional media has lost the right to claim that they provide an invaluable service through investigative journalism. Madoff isn't the only example where traditional media failed, there are many others. How did Drudge get started? Because traditional media would not touch a story, etc..
Since Federal law always trumps state law, you're wrong.
Have you actually read the first amendment? It says that Congress shall not... it says nothing about states rights. The SCOTUS decided some time back that it would be unconcionable for states to restrict some rights and hence the first amendment applies to states also. Other amendments provided the rationale for this decision.
Why is this distinction important? Well, what about gun rights? the SCOTUS has not yet decided if gun rights can be restricted at the state level. It's not so clear that all the rights enumerated in the bill of rights cannot be restricted by the states.
What could you possibly desire to run that Windows OS will not execute? I cannot think of anything.
Considering that in another post you specifically mentioned CAD and ASIC tools, you are clearly being disingenuous here. Go and look at the tools from Synopsys, Cadence, Magma Design Automation and Mentor. Yes, they have some tools that run under Windows but you can't get a complete tool chain from them if you want Windows-based tools.
I've found that OSS is typically good for common software like browsers, media players, word processors, and so on, but not for specialized tasks like CAD or ASIC development, or for operating systems. In the latter case it's better to stick with the "standard" Windows system and proprietary software. It causes fewer headaches.
Yeah, that's why most ASIC development is done under Windows..... oh wait! It's not! You can't get a complete set of ASIC tools under Windows from the major vendors.
No, not any longer. While not universally supported, many ISPs support SSL and TLS (including SMTP-TLS). This means that emails may be encrypted during all transmissions. The email may be unencrypted on the destination mail server, but if that ISP had some simple privacy policies, it would be entirely reasonable to have an expectation of privacy.
Markopolos also sent information to prominent US newspapers and they did the same as the SEC did -- nothing significant.
This is why I believe the claims of "big press" that we need to preserve investigative reporting are bogus -- "big press" has already abandoned real investigative reporting.
please, please rtfa. the key issue here is the meaning of 'bogus' and if it meant that the bca members knew that chiropractic does not work.
it's the bca's knowledge and the meaning of bogus that the court will decide. the truth of the singh's claim is key, but the court has to decide what singh was claiming -- and to decide what singh was claiming, the court must decide what 'bogus' meant in this context.
so truth is a defense -- but it's a different truth to your simplistic view.
You're looking at it through rose tinted glasses. There have been walled gardens such as AOL practically right from the "start".
The AOL example is not appropriate. People may have chosen to use AOL, but they had a choice. While other, uncensored, alternatives exist this is very different from what the Australian government want, which is to remove the choice of uncensored access to the Internet.
At home, I run a squid proxy and all port 80 requests must go through it.
I checked the logs, which go back 8 weeks, and there is not a single instance of 1e100.net in them. It might be on an alternate port, but my personal browser is explicitly set to use the proxy.
Clearly Alexa sees the requests to this domain, but, Alexa only has information from people who have installed the Alexa toolbar, so perhaps the 1e100.net domain is somehow only used by people who have the Alexa toolbar?
The only problem I have with the iPhone is you're forced to get the "unlimited" data plan for $30 per month, and supposedly they pole their IMEI numbers from time to time to auto-bill people using an iPhone on an account without said plan.
They do write letters to people who use iPhones without the iPhone plan (I know someone who has received such letters). However, I suspect that here are a number of legal barriers against auto-billing for them, including, probably, agreements related to GSM.
Your argument is that because Linux is not like Windows, it will never supplant it. But, a copy of Windows will never be as good at being Windows-like than Windows itself, so attempting to mimic Windows is a losing strategy.
IMHO there are many ways in which Linux is better than Windows. I am able to work much faster under Linux than I can do under Windows and I find doing almost anything under Windows an exercise in frustration.
Gpasp, there was a TYPO in a summary report, and the editing process didn't catch it.
A typo.
About as much a typo as your claim. If you RTFM (I know, asking a lot on/.), you will see that the UN Panel wrote the number in the report based on "a 2005 publication by the World Wildlife Fund. The WWF itself had picked it up from a 1999 magazine article based on a phone interview with an Indian scientist". In other words, the UN Panel read a random non-scientific report and used the erroneous prediction presented there. There is a massive failure here -- by the UN Panel when they relied on non-scientific sources for important predictions.
I used right-click and "copy link location". I also tried this with Galeon and got the same results. I was able to get google to give me the long google-redirect links in some cases ("Did you Mean..." and google.ca), so I am able to detect them.
What I did notice, however, is that if I search on google.ca, I get the long google-redirect links, but not if I search on google.com
Try clicking "copy link" (Firefox) and then mouse-over the link again. Your clipboard will contain the long redirected version, which will now also appear on mouse over.
Nope. I tried this in a browser that doesn't have script blocking as well as as my default (Firefox). I don't have javascript blocking in Firefox -- only flashblock.
I realized quickly that at some point over the last few years Google has changed the way their links work. They no longer are a link to the site you want - they are a link to something at Google that then redirects to your chosen site.
I just tried this and the only links that went through google were the ones in the "Did you mean..." section. In the "Results" section (for the words exactly as I typed them), the links are direct to the target website.

The document to which you refer is out of date. Try this one.

I have one word for you: Galleon

The problem is not the issuance of a government ID, the problem is that businesses are allowed to ask for it and use it as a form of ID.
I don't recall telling banks in the UK any government-issued ID numbers, but I haven't opened a bank account there recently.

really, how intelligent do you have to be to realize that revealing to people that you spied on them at home is something that you should not do.
The AOL example is not appropriate. People may have chosen to use AOL, but they had a choice. While other, uncensored, alternatives exist this is very different from what the Australian government want, which is to remove the choice of uncensored access to the Internet.
She might have bought it from a retail store, but at $100, I'm guessing she bought an OEM version.
At home, I run a squid proxy and all port 80 requests must go through it.

Perhaps because they cut a deal with the DA's office?
How do you know those cellphones "cost" 300 bucks? Because your cellphone provider tells you that when selling you a "discounted" cellphone?
They do write letters to people who use iPhones without the iPhone plan (I know someone who has received such letters). However, I suspect that here are a number of legal barriers against auto-billing for them, including, probably, agreements related to GSM.

The last word on this goes to Ciaran Norris, who says: "I have to wonder whether the fact that Foundem apparently continues to rank well in Bing and Yahoo isn't in fact a perfect example of why those sites currently struggle to manage 10% market share between them."
