I see stuff I don't want to see all the time. That doesn't mean that other people don't have a right to post it. I can't recall a time where I ever came across an illegal image on Facebook or Twitter. Against TOS/AUP, sure. Trashy or tasteless? Definitely. But not illegal.
And such a policy would be easily be circumvented. Flip the image horizontally. Crop it. Change the resolution slightly. Add more jpeg. Write a meme on it. Change the color balance slightly. It might stop the exact same image from spreading, which isn't a bad thing, but I don't know how much of a benefit it really will be in the end.
It's largely unenforced. How does a Uber driver driving a woman in the back seat look different than a guardian brother/husband/father driving the same woman?
It's like speeding 5 MPH over the speed limit. Everyone does it. Everyone gets away with it. And sometimes you have to lest you get run over by all the other traffic. But it's still illegal. And if a police officer wanted to pull you over he could and there's not much you could do if they really wanted to enforce the speed limit strictly.
apt can run an post install script can't it? If someone inserted themselves as a MITM then could execute a malicious script as part of you installing an update.
Is it any different then say apt-get using unsecured http or ftp connections?
Their products are defective and they should be forced to correct those defects. And by correct, I don't mean sell you the newer version of their product. I mean doing real, thorough security analysis before shipping, and supporting previous versions for a long time.
Then you'd never get your product and/or it would be so ridiculously expensive that you couldn't afford it. EVERY major piece of software has bugs. It's a fact of life. Even the Space Shuttle where billions of dollars and decades of time were spent perfecting things still had a few bugs over it's life.
And how long is "a long time"? Windows 7 will be supported for 11 years, until 2020. XP was released in 2001 and just ended support last year after it was supported for 13 years. The Linux 2.4 branch was released in 2001 and was maintained until 2011. Where's the outrage that it's not still being maintained and supported?
Google is who I'm now starting to wonder about, with all of these unpatchable cell phones because they don't want to support Android 2.3 or 4.1 even though the devices with these versions can't run anything newer.
Don't blame Google on that. Google continuously updates their software releasing fixes. It's the manufacturers and carriers that refuse to support/update them. It would be like yelling at Linus et al for a kernel bug that Debian or Redhat drags their feet to incorporate into their distributions.
The DMCA does provide penalties for filing baseless/frivolous DMCA notices.
No it doesn't. The only penalty the DMCA has for filing a false claim below:
'(vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly in-fringed.
It's just perjury if the entity filing the claim isn't authorized by the rightsholder to file the takedown request. All they have to do is word the request such that it doesn't make any statements of facts. For example:
We are $IPService working on the request of $MovieStudio, legal copyright owner of $Movie. We believe the following URLs infringe on the rights of $MovieStudio:
Presuming that $MovieStudio gave $IPService authorization to file the requests, all that they have done is said that they have a belief that the URLs infringed, not that they actually did.
Between driving, double fisting donuts, surfing on their 4G enabled laptops, and their regular duties harassing drivers, I think these LEO need raises to compensate them for their newfound increase in multitasking duties.
Why give them a raise? You just described a good portion of drivers on American highways if you replace laptops for smartphones.
When everything is in 4k video, why would we need higher resolution (unless people are regularly projecting things on screens as wide as their house)?
If I'm watching a movie on my phone, I don't need 4k. If I'm watching a movie on my 80" TV across the rec room, I want 4k. In the future when I want to watch my 4K3D holographic movie, I'm going to want that petabyte microsd card.
I'd also love that petabyte microsd card to put into my home theater PC/server. I don't necessarily need SSD speeds for movie storage, but I'd love to have massive amounts of storage that require almost no energy consumption while idling and have no mechanical parts. I'd love to be able to eliminate my 4U rack of storage and be able to store the equivalent in a mini-ITX case or even better, something like a Raspberry Pi case.
given that it takes less than a year to hatch a kid, but the odds of that happening are probably lower than the odds of people abusing the existing unlimited vacation policy
We had 3 kids (no multiples) within 26 months of each other. Trust me, it's not hard to do, even if you're taking measures not to immediately get pregnant again.
My previous all-in-one Canon printer barely consumed ink and never had an issue with clogged nozzles for years until one day it mysteriously wouldn't recognize that the print head was present. A replacement print head was $70+ and wasn't guaranteed to be the actual problem. I opted to purchase a new Canon all-in-one with the hopes it was similar in ink consumption. It wasn't.
If you know of an all-in-one color laser printer that costs $99 like my Canon I loved, please, share.
I'm in the same boat as you with my current ink jet. I needed to copy something yesterday. It took 5 minutes of cleaning/priming the cartridge before it printed the one page. I think I've printed less than a dozen pages of your average color office document and all 3 of my non-black cartridges are empty. My last Canon when it bit the dust I disassembled to see if there was anything salvageable for a 3d printer. In the bottom I found a quite large thick absorbent pad that is used to soak up ink when it's primed. It was completely saturated with about a kabillion dollars worth of ink.
I put it as "deady force" to mean the digital equivalent. What else would you call killing an attack against your server(s) if you're deputized?
From the summary:
The government could issue cyberwarrants, giving a private company license 'to protect its system, to go and destroy data that's been stolen or maybe even something more aggressive,' Zarate said Monday
What does "go and destroy data" mean? What does "something more agressive". If Company A attacked Company B, and Company B retaliated, how far should they be allowed to go to recover their data? What happens if that data has been mixed with non-Company B data? Should Company-B be allowed to delete all the intermixed data?
In the case of a bot net or other nefarious operation, I don't think anyone is going to cry if the attack company responds by ultimately shutting down the network. But what happens if one company takes out another company, even if they were doing something illegal? What happens if the wrong company is retaliated against?
This is a great idea. What on earth could possibly go wrong?!?! Lets give the power hungry, egotistical, anti-social network security "experts" who are in charge of creating the insecure networks the right to use "deadly force" against those they think might be responsible.
I can't wait for the fecal matter to hit the CPU fan when the wrong company is targeted for retaliation er I mean offense.
I think at this point we're quibbling over how we define shit. ALL of them in contention for "worst windows ever" had something that was pretty spectacularly awful:Stability, UI, Security, Privacy...
It's a fucking scam to lure people into the store and buy shit.
How exactly is it a scam? It didn't lie to you. It didn't say it was broken, out of paper, etc. It just said "please see register for receipt".
Heaven forbid a company does something in an attempt to get you to buy something. Next thing you'll know, stores will put convenience items within easy reach of the checkout, price things at a odd dollar amount, or sell things BOGO instead of half off in an attempt to get you to buy more.
Too windy? A 3d printed drone won't be applicable for that mission, much the same way a Zodiac-based landing party wouldn't be suitable during a hurricane.
Need to land? Land. If it falls in the water, oh well. Your disposable drone is disposed of. It's not like these are $4m Predators being made. The military spends more on consumables to flush a toilet than what these cost to make.
You do realize that the TSA is only about 1/4 of DHS by number of employees and 12% of the budget, right? I think you're really selling short the amount of damage they excel at if you only go with stealing cameras and groping underage genitalia.
Criminals, incarcerated or released, do lose some liberties. However they do no automatically lose all 1st Amendment rights. The Supreme Court case Turner v. Safley created the "Turner Standard" that asks "whether a prison regulation that impinges on inmates' constitutional rights is 'reasonably related' to legitimate penological interests."
For instance, prisoners are generally allowed to practice their choice religion, send as well as receive communications from the outside world, or seek redress of grievances from the government. Prisons may limit some aspects of these as they fall under penological interests such as maintaining order and security.
In Chief Keef case, yeah, he looks to be generally to be a piece of filth. However he's currently not convicted of a crime that he has not served his sentence for. Being a piece of filth also doesn't revoke your constitutional rights.
A good patent troll wouldn't explicitly state a particular algorithm. Rather they would word it so that ANY algorithm would apply.
A method to send something from something via something after applying something so that someone can unapplying something to read the something on something.

Liar! Yesterday I read that 143% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
Most of our printer use in recent months/years has been school related. School projects, notes, copies of paperwork, etc.
