    it's perfectly legal, just as there are whole lines of products only available at certain stores

    this is why it's vital for customers to make it crystal clear that that shit is unacceptable and will be punished

    IMO using a potentiometer for it is a shitty design, they are in the long run unreliable, a trivial adaptation of the mouse ball sensor would be more reliable and allow for infinite rotation in either direction

  4. Re:And Apple's Worried? on Apple Could Lose $1.6 Billion In iPad Lawsuit · · Score: 2

    i don't know about ipads, but making the new iphone in america would cost about $70/unit more, including labor, safety, and environmental rules. odds are these costs would go down over time as well as they refined manufacturing techniques to better fit the market and regulatory environment, also there is the difficult to calculate value of reduced dependance on future transportation/shipoping costs and reduced IP theft due to no longer making their product in the knockoff capital of the world.

    corporate security loves a good witchhunt, and they will likely go after you for jail time and far more money than you have.
    BR> if you find an exploitable hole in a system used by a big company, the best thing you can do is make an infographic detailing how to exploit said hole and what do do afterwards, wardrive a few towns over until you find an open AP, and post it all over 4chan and other places like that.

    the corporations have demonstrated an inability to be reasonable, time and time again, no need to risk your nuts protecting their interests for free.

    not allowing users to execute code or load scripts which have not been approved. this isn't rocket surgery, if your users can run arbitrary code on your network, it's probably not your network anymore

    Even if the keys were 4096 bit monsters and they had a billion stored that would still only be 476 gigs, round up for storage ineffiency and it's still less data than I can store on my desktop or on my portable hard drive. No excuses for morons

  9. decoys on Pentagon: 30,000 Pound Bomb Too Small · · Score: 1

    If I were in charge of iranian nuke programs I would be building a bunch of inexpensive "cargo cult" facilities, start with a large rectangle region, paint it using perspective art so from satellite photos it looks like a hole in the ground with excavators and infrastructure, build dozens upon dozens of these along with real facilities of an identical profile. This would have the advantage of overstating capacity to enemies and of making successful strikes much more expensive, complex, and difficult to pull off

    This is a huge advantage of blackberry over android and iOS, regardless of any hostile access point everything goes through a secure tunnel to the BIS servers, the downside is on rare occasions. the service has trouble despite being able to connect to the internet


    this is not just for wifi connections, there are not technical measures in place to allow a phone to validate a cell tower it is connected to and hostile/sniffer towers already exist.

    if the end result was everyone using their walmart tricorders every month or so and cancer cases almost never getting more advanced than a few weeks before detection, that would still be enormously beneficial.

  15. Re:No tricorder in the future. on Nano-Scale Terahertz Antenna May Make Tricorders Real · · Score: 1

    the first step in correcting misperception is to realize that corporations are an extension of government power, they are legal constructs created by the government in the form of a corporate charter, such constructs ought to be subject to the same constitutional restrictions as government is, in addition corporations should not have the right to challenge a law as unconstitutional any more than the department of education could challenge a law. if shareholders believed a law or regulation improperly targeted or treated a corporation they held stock in of course they, as natural persons, would have the right to challenge the law or regulation, as individuals or as a class action.

    the commerce clause stretches enough to cover the cultivation of a plant on a kitchen windowsill and subsequent incorporation of that plant into brownies baked in the oven below the windowsill and consumed for recreational purposes while sitting in chairs on the other side of the same kitchen. (because chairs right next to the oven would be uncomfortably hot)

    The plant is bad and growing the plant means the person doing so would not purchase some of the bad plant from a bad man on the other side of town, this not-buying is enough impact on interstate commerce to justify sending the people in the kitchen to prison and confiscating their house

    or at least that is how the SCOTUS see it, mostly because they are worthless traitors and enemies of the people.

    had someone on the planes had a gun, there would still likely have been crashed planes, but 3000 people would be alive, 6 buildings would still be standing, the US would never have gone into Afghanistan, saving 14,000 coalition lives, 34,000 afghan civilian lives. Bushco would likely have been unable to drag the US into Iraq saving 24,000 coalition lives, and between 100,000 and 650,000 Iraqi civilian lives, depending on whether you count only civilians killed in fighting or also count increased mortality rate due to severely damaged national infrastructure

    a few guns on those flights would have saved 175,000-725,000 allied and innocent lives and an additional 78,000 enemy combatants of whom an impossible to determine percentage would never have associated with insurgent groups had the US not invaded. that is close to a million lives.

    They bought spectrum that was cheap because it was designated for satellite to ground transmission, then they demanded it be redesignated for ground transmission

    there are scans that are worth running, but i am pretty sure there are free tools that do what need to be done, scans that look for dead references, which cause the system to attempt and fail to load files or libraries that no longer exist on the filesystem can speed up installs, however installers / uninstallers have gotten a lot better about that kind of crap so there are not nearly as many dangling references left in the registry by common software
