That was how the UK version of this law was made to look silly (even though it later passed of course).
An admission of a crime was made, written up, encrypted, and put on a USB(CD maybe) and sent to the Home Secretary. The police were then contacted and informed that the Home Secretary has, in his possession, an admission of a crime that requires a custodial sentence.
Technically, that he never had the keys to unlock it was irrelevant. He had an item that was an admission of a crime, he was duty bound to hand it over and unlock it, even though there's no way on earth he could. But the way the law was written, he was the one in trouble.
If this is allowed to stand, we now have the way for someone/anyone to send you an encrypted file (email/cookies), that will then get you found in contempt of court as you are unable to prove you can't unlock it.
Not really, the correct answer would be "I'm sorry, union rules means I can't freelance and offer work without an agreement in place to the pre-agreed rates. This 'early designing/random questions' is specifically prohibited. If you want me to do some work in the side by helping you with your problem here, you'll have to take it up with the office who probably force you to wait until the plumbings been put in".
They could default to installing a chrome.dll that has all the common pictures people upload (generic plate of food, someone pulling a duck face selfie), then just transmit the differences between their already stored, local, base picture, and the other pic.
If it's close enough, then don't even do that, just show the double good selfie and/or the double plus ungood meme. Would save TB's a day.
Aye, I recall... hmm..dates might be a bit off, very very late 80's/early 90's using x-windows and having a method of a server rendering data to send to a dumb rendering client. Was a horrible binary mashup of the bare minimum RTF we wanted, some terrible in-house curses library and voodoo I think. We got something working for what we needed (make some remote x terminals show very very basic graphics/simple text formatting), but as soon as we saw a browser/html "Oh, that's what we've been using, but far better, lets change to that!" (well, as soon as the guy who wrote the hacked in house version of curses we used bogged off so we had the excuse of not trying to understand his mess).
Tech often seem to be "Oh, that's what we were kinda doing in house, but working! With better documentation than our stuff!"
Yeah, I read from this more that "More things are being put in place to control the media YOU see". CNN/MSNBC/everywhere, the wikileaks showed were colluding with the Clinton campaign. So the solution is... more control of what media you get to see?
Hmm...
For someone who's not/really/ a democrat, he still seems to have done more to help the party platform long term than any of the current batch of (D) politicians it appears.
He's stumping hard for Hillary against Trump, kept his word that he would, and is loyally working hard with the party that supposedly he's not got anything to do with.
He asked for lots, got less, but the things he was fighting for Hillary's picked up and ran with. So I see that as a win.
I wish more politicians were not really a democrat as much as Sanders is.
They probably post "1st post" and 'Hot Grits' just like any other sensible forum system. The Natalie Portman posts are probably a bit risque-er though.
There's a Doctor Carlos Danger reserved parking nearby me. Laughed at it at the time, a couple of years before the recent blowup of the name. When it was all blowing up with Wiener's alias and how people were making fun of it I thought "well, one Doctor's not going to be happy about all this".
Don't care where the truth/facts come from. It's up to us to decide what to make of it. Regular Media looks far too screechy when they start dissing Wikileaks and blaming everything on the Russians.
At this point, I doubt it. I just don't think he can avoid the twitter meltdowns. Soon as someone/anyone prods him about his stances, he pushes yet further right it appears. No, the chance to look moderate is long past, the media is now working against him, he's blown it (intentionally perhaps).
Was in a company when the decision to go either the new Visual.net Basic or C# came up. Most of the coders wanted to stick to VB, even though the company was willing to shell out decent money for training for all of us. The ONLY way I got sense into them was saying "that'd be great, because if you look at the job sites, it looks like VB.net coders earn a lot less than C# coders, so we can get contractors at a far better rate to help us out with this big project" and even then I had to let it sit with a few of them for some time before they got it.
Got hooked, like many here I'm sure, playing on a 386. Had to crank down the quality to half, and knock down the screen display by a few notches to make it playable. Didn't matter, was soon ignoring the world around me. Would get up in morning, clear Doom before going downstairs for a pee, it became instinct. Then speedrunning through Doom2 before going to sleep. Every day. For months.
And the Doom dreams.... Don't tell me no-one else, when playing crazy amounts, wouldn't have dreams where the movement was Doom, the fast speeds, the strafing. Could be a regular other dream, but the movement would snap me out of it.
At Uni, we had a trip down to..hmm. can't remember if it was Birmingham or London, some tradeshow. Met the lovely David McCandless and the rest of the PCPro?(PCGamer? PCZone? Was a bit ago), and didn't do too bad. Everyone else was bitching about the 486's running slow, but after being used to 386, it was fantastic. Got through to the end of the informal matches, just McCandless beating me. Got a few freebies that were much appreciated.
Got into making own levels for when we had a lan party. The local shopping mall level was very popular (so wish I could find it again).
Left Uni not long after, got a job, then had a funny phone call out of the blue. "Hello, you don't know me, but I'm a producer for a TV show about computer games, and we heard you could make levels, we're based in Leeds, could you come and make a level of the studio for us please?" "Sure, uhm, how did you even begin to get my number?" "well, we rang directory enquiries for iD's number in the US and the guy asked us what for, when we told them we wanted a level, he said it'd be unlikely they'd have time, but he knew a guy... and so we're ringing you!" (thanks Malcom!). Funnily enough, was dating a girl from Leeds and was there most weekends anyway. Got to see some film they covered the tix at the cinema for, got to see the Playstation and play Tekken before it was released in the UK ("this is going to change everything!"), and made some levels. The other guy they contacted to make the monsters look like the presenters ended up being the Doom UK champ for a few years, but never got chance to meet him.
Was an amazing game, it was all down to getting it working that I got a network card, learned how to configure it, first ipx/spx, then later tcp/ip, that's come in very useful in my career. Enjoyed the creation of maps/monsters, that's also been a pastime in later years, nothing professional, but enough to amuse me.
Been a blast, BFG blast.
Phone ping tower, gov 'box of tricks' looks up IMEI of device and does a look up if a known phone. Stores time/imei/signal strength to DB. Looks up if device is 'known', if yes, carry on. If not listed (possible through mistake/someone visiting from Canada), 'ping' phone a bit more in depth/look up more records into foreign telcos to find out who that person is. Where have they been, check that imei to see where else it's been/what other wifi's it's connected to, 'ah, connected upto Starbucks? run the check on other DB to collate their FB login info/list of other websites checked'.
If this is matching a profile of an 'unregistered phone', do a few more 'pings' detection of the OS, can now find if it IS likely to be an unregistered phone.
If police car nearby, route to location, using a picture pulled from the FB for a positive ID check.
or if you pull them over for something else, do the check and if using non-US approved spy phone, arrest on spot/plug in phone to 'slurp-App',
10 let intTerroristsFound = intTerroristsFound + 1;
20 subSendEmail(strGov,"Subject:more funding needed","another bad guy picked up, send moar money!");
most of this could be automated, found easily, and it's just what do they want to do with that information.
Simple. When you setup your new iPhone, there'll be an options page;
"Are you currently living in an oppressive fascist regime that wants to spy on everything you do?"
And if you click that, then all the encryption is disabled. If you don't click it, then your phone is protected.
Hacking sounds solid. To eliminate other things;
Physical check of the power along the entire route, see if someone's tapped it for any reason or there's 'odd boxes' attached to junctions/controllers?

Still use IRC constantly. There's been several xkcd cartoons that cut a bit close.

Those phones are crazy popular around the world. Great screens and those dual sims. Just wish they were more hackable (by the owner, not China).

I doubt it, the Democrats wouldn't be stupid enough to try Corruptillary again.
I'm pretty sure they will be.

They should put a 10dollar a minute charge on breathing air too. And fine people who bring in their own oxygen tanks.

Oh, I thought Slack was just a web UI plastered over IRC.

"English Literature Major" It's ok, no need to worry about capitalization when working in Government.

As someone who got a Vive last Friday, you won't regret it. Being able to get up and wander around makes this a whole new experience to behold.

next they'll be serving backdoors or start decrypting computers using Windows Update. That is unarguably a real possibility now.
NEXT they'll be starting to? I suspect this is on-going and it's been quite a shock to them to get push back after all this time.
