In some places, once you've cooperated with police at all, you've waived many of your rights down the line. You cannot "go back" and say you won't cooperate further later once you've cooperated earlier for example.
IAANAL but this is an excellent reason to simply NEVER cooperate.
That's also still true of major buildings all around the USA. Amazingly though, the police or security will try to stop you from taking pictures of bridges and tall buildings because of non-existent laws.
The police are not lawyers, they're brutes. Arguing with them is often pointless as they aren't paid to think; they're paid to act.
I've often thought a nice 5 minute looping video recorder would be a nice feature for public safety minded individuals. Loud noises or shock could cause it to stop looping and save instead like a black box recorder. Then you'd have some proof of context when things go wrong around you.
Exactly. A restrained person is in no need of being abused or tortured. Let them struggle against their restraints for a bit to wear themselves out if you want, but unless you're still at risk yourself, there's no reason to attack the other person.
The same comment comes up about police having to account for shots fired and being afraid to pull their weapon.
I'm glad when the police are afraid to pull their weapons. We don't need random shootings without accountability.
As I said to someone else recently, believing we shouldn't keep police officers in check is like not having a border patrol because most citizens are good people.
The vast majority of people aren't committing crimes, and yet we have the police driving down the street just in case. Guess what, the vast majority of police may not be doing anything wrong either, but not allowing anyone to watch *them* is just as silly as taking all the police away.
Decent is a game I wish still existed. Same with Wing Commander. These games (both space flight/combat) were very fun, and Descent had some very fun multiplayer.
Thank you for mentioning two of my favourite games of all time. Descent also had support for full 3D with active shutter glasses via 3dfx.
Actually, if you follow his Twitter feed, you'll see he has a lot of general commentary on software design in general. Based on that I'd say he's working a lot on his programming interests too.
I had expected a university with a top-notch CS department would be better than average on basic IT stuff. But no, it's Windows cargo-cult bullshit everywhere you go. Don't get me wrong, there are always pockets of interesting stuff going on... But universities in general... brilliant faculty and students, but the place is actually run by retarded monkeys.
They're presumably calling their device a ChromiumPC because they're borrowing part of the Chrome name from Google's software. As I'm quite certain Google has the Trademark for Chrome, wouldn't the PC maker in fact be the ones potentially infringing?
Note: I don't think either party is infringing, but as Google owns the trademark at least for "Google Chrome" and "Chromium", this is just moronic.
You might want to read this fairly old summary of what Dalvik is.
Note this bit:
it just doesn’t compile the java code into java bytecode but (ops, Sun didn’t see this one coming) into Dalvik bytecode.
So, Android uses the syntax of the Java platform (the Java “language”, if you wish, which is enough to make java programmers feel at home and IDEs to support the editing smoothly) and the java SE class library but not the Java bytecode or the Java virtual machine to execute it on the phone (and, note, Android’s implementation of the Java SE class library is, indeed, Apache Harmony’s!)
The trick is that Google doesn’t claim that Android is a Java platform, although it can run some programs written with the Java language and against some derived version of the Java class library.
I'm a terrible father. I introduced my daughter to Nethack at 8 yrs old or so, she quite enjoyed it. She got down to the fifth or sixth dungeon level on her first go at it, asking lots of questions as she went. Poor kid had no idea how hard it is to actually "beat" Nethack though.
NTLM hashes (and most others) are sent over the wire in a number of circumstances.
The whole point of password hashes is to have something more secure than a raw password to transmit over the wire. What do you think is sent over the wire if not a password hash?
Microsoft regularly locks out third party clients in one way or another. They have for a long time. At various points they've given up as well.
That said, the MSN chat protocol isn't even vaguely related to the security requirements of a console to make it sell-able to third parties as a platform.
The poem is being used perfectly. "Them" doesn't have to be anyone specific, and in fact, most of the people involved in the Nazi attacks referenced by the poem were not government agents at all. They were just citizens doing what they thought was right because of government propaganda.
The moral of the poem is and always was stand up for others' rights, because you want someone to stand up for yours too.
There is no way to vote out Anonymous. None. At least there is some formal even if disfunctional way of changing your government.
In fact, your government also requires registration of citizenship and such, and you can hunt each person down and yell at them in person if you like. Anonymous requires no such thing. You can't even figure out who to get mad at when Anonymous screws over the wrong person in your opinion.
Do yourself a favour and read up on how various democratic governments have come into being and why. Its always been known to be faulty, but better than total Anarchy.

Why do you think people put things over their faces when doing a perp walk? Because its perfectly legal and happens all the time.
No expectation of privacy in public. Get over it.
Its amazing how utterly useless a cell phone with only a remote uploading motion detection application is as evidence of anything.
More importantly, do they realize who they work for? :)
Try "Excuse me officer, you realize I'm your employer, right?" sometime. Its true, and yet they won't acknowledge it.
The government is a proxy of the people. The police are public servants, meaning they serve the public. A lot of people seem to forget these things.

That's what police tape and cordoned-off areas are for. If you haven't restricted access to an area physically, you have no expectation of privacy.

How about I lock the car, stay inside, and force you to get me out. Enjoy that.

Insomniac Games is no stranger to money.
I have nothing to add, but
its so true.

Here I thought politics and terrorism were the same. My mistake.
Funny, l0phtcrack did a great job of pulling in NTLM hashes over the wire.

I know people who use a password intermixed with digits. For example:
password + 19910101 = p1a9s9s1w0r1d01
Its not hard to do similar obfuscations and make yourself a good secure long password (albeit harder to type quickly the first few times).

You've heard of IP over shortwave right? Its always possible to connect.
