  1. Re:Escrow of sorts on Court Rules Against Online Anonymity · · Score: 2

    Usually it is marked as attorney's eyes only under a protective order. The attorneys are not allowed to disclose it to their client, but can compare the client information with the attorney's eyes only information.
    If the information goes beyond the attorneys, then the attorneys get in trouble. See the Apple v. Samsung case for example.
    See, e.g., CNN at http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2013/10/03/apple-samsung-sanctions-grewal/

  2. Embarrasing Moment on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    What's been your most embarrassing moment on and off the show?

    Personally, I think the vacuum motor to the lip was pretty embarrasing. Or maybe being painted gold in undies?

    If you're willing to give up your privacy for mere convenience, what else are you prepared to give up? How much for your right to vote? A gigabyte of space? Two? How much for that freedom of speech -- I mean, when did you last need that? And freedom of assembly, will you throw that in too, for say, three gigabytes? You're not hiding anything in your email, so you're probably not hilding anything your house either -- let's install some free anti-crime cameras in your bedroom -- for your protection of course. Did I miss the memo telling me that Americans had become so lazy we can't even get up off the couch to protect our privacy anymore? Give me a break! Encrypt your email if you're that paranoid. Then google can't "target you" with scary ads. To compare an automated innocuous keyword search to provide relevant ads (btw already happening when you search with google *gasp*) to giving away personal liberty is like comparing Tollhouse cookies with Weapons of Mass Destruction. Your slippery-slope argument has to at least reach the slope before you can argue.

    >compiled java class are effectively machine code for a machine that doesn't exist Maybe you mean machine code for a processor that might not exist on the host machine. aJile Systems has a Native Java processor that runs at 100 MHz. It's assembly code IS Java Byte Code. Check out Ajile Systems for the processor. Or you can see products that use them at JStik.com. You can also check out benchmarks at PracticalEmbeddedJava.com. Your distinction is vaild, but he does have a point. Unless the host machine natively understands the "bytecode", then the bytecode runs on an interpreter ie JVM.
