Problem is, forensics people are smart too. They know about all of this software and they have software of their own. Powerful forensics software the average computer enthusiast has never seen or heard of. There is a fair chance that they will investigate all of that freespace for patterns and can probably tell if it looks like a hidden encrypted volume versus remnants of overwritten files.
I think that every cop car should be required to have a tape that is rolling whenever they pull someone over. I think they should have the detected speed displayed on said camera as well. This way no cop can lie about what they are pulling you over for and they can't get a conviction if the evidence is not present. Some jurisdictions have this but I don't think it's required for the most part. I would even take it so far as to say every cop should have a recording device on his person somewhere at all times to verify the authenticity of his story. They work for us and if they want surveillance we should make it work to OUR benefit also.
In this case it makes more sense. The demand is high and the supply is low. You can browse eBay and see people making good profits off of them. If those people could have walked into a store and bought a Wii at retail, they certainly would not be buying them for $500-600 on eBay. So everyone who is not willing to pay the markup just doesn't buy one, that is money lost for Nintendo.
There's a lot of stuff that operates in this range. From the article itself it merely says: "It's not clear whether the signal disrupts the college's WLAN access points or students' wireless notebooks. There is some anecdotal evidence, however, that it at least affects other radios in the same 2.4GHz band." Basically the article just talks about a 'strange' 2.4GHz signal that they found and didn't know where it came from. Turned out it came from the XBox 360 (and that is admittedly his "best guess"). No evidence or claim in the article that it is interfering with any WLANs, he basically just says they need to do more 'systematic testing' (that is, putting a bunch of 360s in the room to see if they can cause interference).
The alarmist bent is high with this one. First of all, Wikipedia is an open encyclopedia designed to be edited by people. If you don't want that to happen come up with a different model...
More to the point, someone with a "House of Representatives IP Address" does not represent the US Government in its entirety and could be anyone from the lowliest page of a pro-war Republican up to the House party leader. At this point it's just speculation and looking at the changes they are far from subversive.
Whenever her proprietary software does something unexpected she gets flustered and turns to me for the immediate solution. Most of the time I have to respond that I really don't know how this software works so I don't know why it's giving you that meaningless error or acting in that strange way. This is not acceptable you see because I do 'computer stuff' for a living (I'm a Java developer atm) and I'm 'supposed to know how this stuff works'. Sometimes she is seriously convinced I'm just not telling her how to fix it to be mean.
Then there were the days when she stored an important thesis for graduate school on a floppy disk and only on a floppy disk. Despite my repeated warnings that this was a terribly bad idea it didn't click until the floppy drive failed and she went into a mental breakdown over it. Luckily I was able to use data recovery software to extract the text back out of the Word document. *sigh* Now I've got her on board with backups at least.
Is when you're that whiz-kid and you actually do know more than the guy at the IT help desk. It's like those situations where you call the ISP because your cable modem is not receiving a signal and they want you to fart around rebooting Windows and mucking with DHCP until they finally admit that the problem is 'with the signal'. I can understand that those people need a procedure to step through but sometimes you need to go from step 1 to step 10 immediately when certain conditions are present.
It's the 'radical' part. If Jews put bombs on their chests and blew themselves up around civilians because they thought that was the proper way to get to heaven then they'd be as radical as these Muslims. This leads to the question of what those kinds of people who have no qualms about blowing themselves up would do if they did have a nuclear weapon.
No doubt, but there are a lot more people doing OOP and Java specifically and thus for a project like this that wants people to contribute on their own free time to win a prize the pool of resources will be much larger.
What happened initially when that show aired is they let the people go on their merry way. Obviously this pissed a lot of people off because here you have people intending to have sex with children and they just walk away to do it another day. Then states passed laws that allowed this type of situation to be prosecuted. Perverted Justice people posing as children are not actually children, and the people that are busted get charged with crimes that have to do with intent to have sex with a minor or something related to the transmission of sexually explicit material.
Well, you get $25k for being in the top 50. Then that gets subdivided after later development into two groups of ten, one group getting $100k and the better group getting $275k.
Hardly true. Besides, whatever small speed difference you might gain by writing some C code (for example) that is compiled and optimized for that processor will be dwarfed by the extra development time and the fact that few developers will be interested in working with the API.
They just want to be able to tell their moron constituents that they are "tough on child predators". Meanwhile they'd get more accomplished working with Dateline than spending years going after these social networking sites to get meaningless changes in place.
It's a nice rant and all but when people join the military they don't say to them "Here is the list of assignments you will receive over the course of your enlistment, and here are all the wars we will be declaring just so you know ahead of time whether you're going to agree with the political principles which are being used to justify them". People such as yourself seriously miss the point of Veterans Day and that's what the 'whiners' are talking about when they talk about disrespect for people who signed up to put their life on the line for their country without asking how difficult or dangerous it was going to be for them.
And since Microsoft and Google are quickly becoming huge rivals, Google is behind this, and Microsoft just injected a huge sum of money into Facebook... I'd say the odds are slim to none.
Being indifferent to third-party hardware means looser tolerances and stability that will most likely be below a Windows XP installation. Why should Apple have any interest in the inevitable support calls that they will get over this just to have to tell everyone "Sorry but we don't support your hardware."?
While OS X is a great operating system, without being designed and tested to work on all hardware the user is only inviting headaches by installing it on a PC.

Nothing to see here...

So they just can't resist throwing it out there so the haters can bash it and the fanboys can defend it. ;)
Yup, you also have to consider that what this is really is an alternative to the PIT maneuver which is definitely more dangerous.

Charges were dropped in some cases in one county, and this contradicts what I'm saying... how?
They still have netted more convictions than going after Facebook will.
Seriously.

You do know that stuff you send over the Internet is not considered private, right??
You're delusional if you think funneling it through more countries or even just different countries is going to make it more private.
Strides are being made, but know massive breakthroughs.
But HOW do I know them?
The silicon pathways are provided by Monster Cable.

Or is there an attractive female in those pics?!?
