Wasn't the PRISM program designed to 'spy only on foreigners'? How can a Ma citizen then be legally spied upon? I'd open a can of legal worms if it were me, this is not only unconstitutional but so illegal that everyone involved should be thrown in jail. For a very long time. The program shut down. And all details open to the public to review what their government has been working on.
It is strange that one can be convicted for both conspiracy to commit wire fraud and for the wirefraud itself. I thought the 'conspiracy to..' is a provision in law for when no actual crime has been commited? Otherwise you can convice everyone twice, once for conspiring, and then again for the actual thing. Conspiracy to a DUI.. and then the DUI itself. Weird line of reasoning.
Clever use of a bug in Safari, who would have thought of that.. I'd say the US should be able to knock out this site in a few minutes, by using the provisions in the SOPA act. Right?
Well, those darned Swedes were in a clear violation of U.S. Code Title 17, 102 and 106. Which is punishable with a fine of up to $150,000, they should have known the law. Which makes me wonder, does the EU copyright lobby organize raids on companies in the US? Would the FBI cooperate?
If you think the US is bad, try the EU.. 1) The EU 'leadership', fail in so many ways it isn't funny 2) The NSA, for obvious reasons 3) The Chinese Environment dept, for obvious reasons 4) Slashdot's editors department, for obvious reasons
He will be convicted for a thought crime. The so-called 'free world' has become a bigger joke than Eastern Germany and Soviet Russia combined. Expect a violent revolution within the next 15 years.
I don't think a few CCs of acid "can be a threat to the state", so what liquid did you have in mind?
I know writing this down can be seen as plotting a terror attack, so let me begin with stating that this is a thought experiment in the name of harm reduction. That said, fitting a RC helicopter with a can of dioxine or a comparable cancerous toxin and have it spray that over the congress barbecue, or using a quad copter to drop a canister of mustard gas would seem to have a high success rate as once it is airborne, the only way to avoid disaster is taking over control of the RC. Writing this down it actually makes me a bit sad that I need to include this PC crap stating that I am not a terrorist. Free world, huh?
It takes only one RC plane combined with an official state ceremony to wreak havoc on a scale which can be a threat to the state. If it sprays a highly toxic chemical it may even stay undetected. You can use this method to attack army bases, parliament, officials at home, etc.
I have never heard of Windows desktop software struggling with monitor resolution. Please elaborate. Everything is fine here at 2550x1600, why would 3200x1800 suddenly cause 'too many programs' to 'not run properly'?
But looking at how Apple behaved these last few years, they will not allow violent or adult oriented games. You can buy games only through iTunes. Succesful games will be cloned by Apple, removing the original from the appstore. And Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony will be sued into oblivion for violating Apple's IP.
They had me at "More than 500 million people are still without access to a phone or Internet. For these people, telegram still remains the only digital communication available." So they do not have an internet cafe down the road, but a telegraph office instead?
Not really. National socialism does differ a lot from international socialism, but beside killing millions, the Nazi party did introduce national healthcare, a public transportation system, and nationalized industries such as oil. They were in favor of a large government. They built cheap Volkswagens for all (Arian) citizens. I wouldn't call that right-wing. As a matter of fact, the thing most extreme left regimes from the past have in common is that they tend to slaughter quite a few of their citizens. But my extremely shallow definitions of left vs right are "there is no ownership, everything should be state controlled" versus "ownership is absolute, there should be no government". It really depends on your definition.
"hard right racist fascists like the BNP" = right wing "a party like the national socialists" = left wing so you're arguing that neither left nor right oriented parties should ever get access to these tools when in power. May I add the center?
Are you ready for a government owned black box in your car which measures your speed and location, taps into your cell phone, monitors your private messages and internet behaviour? Probably illegal to tamper with, all in the interest of the children?
FTA: "Unfortunately, the current set up erases the data-adding event entirely from history. " So how do they know that they sent it in the first place?
How do you know a car is the best product you can make for this customer? If you analyse why he needs a car and where he'll be going with it, you may come to the conclusion that rollerskates will fulfill his needs better. Which means you can complete his project faster, cheaper and with better result. Everyone happy!
This is coming from the same politicians who claim that directing traffic from someone in Zimbabwe to a server in Zimbabwe is discrimination. European Union politicians simply cannot be trusted as none have been elected by the people, so one can only wonder whose interests they serve.
The keyboard contains an Intel laptop board. The dispay contains an Android board. Connect the keyboard to the tablet, and the tablet displays the output from the "keyboard pc". Disconnect, and it switches to its internal processor to become an android tablet. Meanwhile, you can connect the docking station to a regular displa and continue using the pc as well.

I've got nothing to hide, so there is no reason to look. Should work both ways.
Not cooperating with the guardians of your freedom would clearly be reason for arrest and a warrant.

Which Apple implemented using an optional adapter. A big finger to the EU consumer, like their pricing strategy.

To answer your question, what legitimate use can there be for custom subtitles for movies which have not yet been released to the public ..

Besides, isn't this a form of a Truck System? Which is illegal in many countries, but apparently not in the US.
You forgot to write Microsoft with a '$' .. you heretic.
