Also if the defendant is not required to provide the encryption key/password, but an unencrypted copy, what's to keep them from providing a "sanitized" copy - how do you check if it's the same bunch of files if you can't see the encrypted data?
Presumably Boucher would decrypt it in the presence of government agents, or, at a minimum, his lawyer (who, as a officer of the court, would have to ensure than Boucher followed the judge's Order).
the effect on the Earth's energy balance will be negligible compared to the effect
Says who?
20TW of energy is nothing to sneeze at, and it's got to heat up the air it's passing thru, causing significant (remember, 20TW of energy is a lot)) localized changes to the whole weather column, which can't help but reverberate all around the globe.
Such an idea makes for a great Asimov short story, but is impossible when real engineers and scientists start thinking of all the real ways that things could go wrong in the real world. A lot like the space elevator.
Have the receiver constantly sending a keep alive signal back to the satellite as long as the power beam is on target. If the beam drifts off target for any reason, the keep alive stops,
Clouds, humidity, storms, LEO debris flying thru the beam, the Earth's rotational wobble, the Moon's tidal effects, and probably a dozen other factors I haven't thought of will all affect aim and focus, plus availability.
And what about when it breaks? There goes a large fraction of a country's electrical power.
AMSR-E is a newer and more accurate passive microwave sensor. However, we do not use AMSR-E data in our analysis because it is not consistent with our historical data.
This quote (IOW, "we don't use accurate data which conflicts with our worldview") shocked me by it's sheer religious, anti-science nature.
I agree with your point, which is well made, but try making it to the 1% who happened to get autism from the vaccine.
Over-emotional fools who "think of the children" and focus on absolute numbers ("if it saved even one child, it's worth it!!!") instead of the big picture.
I wish my kids could ride in the front seat with me, like I was able to with my father. Great father-son time.
But noooooooo... A "few" kids die, and so every child gets pushed into the back seat.
Linus Torvalds: Well, I don't know about broader adoption, but the Linux desktop is why I got into Linux in the first place. I mean, I have never, ever cared about really anything but the Linux desktop.
The server market was a lot easier to get into. There's just a few loads, they're fairly simple, they're fairly well-understood, people are - have much less inertia in upgrading a server than they have in upgrading their desktop. But I have never, ever even run a Linux server and I don't even want to; it's not what I'm interested in. I'm more of a desktop guy. I've always used Linux as a workstation person.
Stupidity and frear of the majority is not an excuse for the majority to destroy their free and civil society
But, yet, people are people, and "fear and over-reaction" are what people do when they feel ambiguously threatened. If you can't understand that, stop philosophizing.
God forbid this judge actually visit part of the internet
Excessively bad behavior by a large (or active) enough minority will destroy a free and civil society by causing "everyone else" to defend themselves by enacting more and more laws to try and tamp down such disruptive behavior.
Yes. that's the point of free speech not to be superseded by any government law.
Unless you are pre-pubescent (in which case, "why are you here??") or an imbecile, you should know full and well that "freedom of speech" is not absolute, and it never has been.
You have no right to stop someone from saying something.
That's a priori suppression, and is almost always unconstitutional. But even then, there are exceptions that SCOTUS has deemed allowable.
So, why would your guardians be so worried about exposure to these things from comic books? Why was the CCA a good thing, but there was no need for the equivalent for books or paintings?
Because in my "tweens" I had no desire to read "adult" books. Comics (including Mad Magazine) and the Hardy Boys (all 66, plus "specials") are what I remember wanting to read at that age.
Thank god for the Hays code, or Hollywood would have produced filth like Brokeback Mountain (homosexuality),Jungle Fever (miscegenation), or Angels in America (reference to STD) back in the good old days.
Or... the writers would have had to be more clever in their writing. (The script for the 1940 My Favorite Wife kept getting rejected by the censors, but the final, approved, script was so good that it was nominated for Best Story.
Or... they wouldn't have been made, and, in the grand scheme of things, the world would not have noticed.
There was no CCA for books, so how did they know you weren't picking up something horrible like Huckleberry Finn? What about going to a museum? Did they steer you away from works of art like Goya's El Tres de Mayo, which depicts a vivid scene of violence and bloodshed?
You're being aggressively narrow-minded, presuming that my guardians were fundamentalists. When I read Lolita as a high school senior, my grandmother was quite upset, at first, but didn't stop me, because she knew it was "literature", and that at age 16 I was "old enough" to read such books.
your parents didn't have to worry about parenting. after all, why should they take an interest in what their child is reading?
You don't know my parents. (Specifically, my depression-raised grandparents who were always nosing around in my room, and wouldn't let me watch the 10PM TV shows when I was a young teen, or SNL when I was an older teen.)
i suppose if people like you had it your way there'd be no movies beyond PG-13
You need to watch Turner Classic Movies http://www.tcm.com/. Lots of great and powerful grown-up movies, and only a trifling few are TV-14 or above.
The Hayes Code forced writers to write smart, clever and witty dialog to suggest what is is now splashed across the screen. Think Jaws or the 1960 Psycho or The Birds instead of Saw. Another comparison: Double Indemnity vs. Basic Instinct.
all books/media/art would be insipid and uncontroversial--all so you can shelter your child in a Disney-ified world where everything is made for kids.
Have you ever had an original thought? Or do you just regurgitate the idiotic spew of incompetent writers who can't create drama without gore, nudity and foul language?
My parents didn't have to worry about what comics I bicycled up to the corner convenience store to buy.
Now, to remain "relevant" and "hip", comics are "graphic novels" with topics I don't want my son reading about (yet). Even if the corner convenience store still existed, and it sold comics.
I work daily with humongous text files. I have found no other editor that performs as well when you work with text files that are in several gigabytes range.
Not in Debian (or maybe all of Linux?) it doesn't.

A lot of it comes down to laziness - using what you have
No, it's called using your tools to their fullest capacity.
which part of "nor shall be compelled" did the honorable judge not understand?
Which part of for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime didn't you understand, dumbass?
The part that is significant in this case is without due process of law.

yet the the road toll in my state has dropped
At what cost? And what % of that decrease is due to better brakes, better handling, better tires, slower speeds, etc?
I suppose risking decapitating your son with an air-bag for "great farther-son time" is not "over-emotional"?
How very tiny is that risk (note that we have pressure-sensitive switches under the passenger seat), and how great is the reward of sitting up front?
Same with firecrackers. A tiny fraction will get injured, and a huge fraction will have a great time.
You are his dad not one of his childhood mates!
A fact he full-well knows whenever he gets the paddle.
this error in no way changes the scientific conclusions about the long-term decline of Arctic sea ice
Except that different scientists, using more accurate sensors, find a different result:

Are you an idiot?
Misdemeanor Disorderly Conduct is about as far from Murder as you can get.
I use Ubuntu for my desktop and I'm a geek, and I still get frustrated (fuck pulseaudio).
Use Debian. It doesn't need PA to get decent sound output.
Younglings especially are not going to like when they can't rip
They might not like it, but it's not going to push many to switch away from whatever plays GTA4.
If he waited a few years he could have defaulted on it and gotten a Governmental bailout ;)

Linux was designed to operate as a desktop server ... only if your idea of a desktop is a CLI.
You don't know WTF you're talking about.

They also learn to scheme behind your back when you are not watching
At a certain age, they're going to scheme behind your back anyway.
That fact, though, does not obviate the need for "wardens" (as opposed to the "inmates") to run the asylum.
The philosophy of Linux (server) and Haiku (desktop) dictates different OS design and application. Linux seems kinda shoehorned into the desktop mold
From where do you get the idea that Linux was designed as a server OS?
