Gore, Obama, and most certainly with Yassir Arafat. You can think what you want on the whole middle eastern situation, but the man was a what we in this day and age label as a terrorist.
The Nobel peace price has lost it's meaning.

That, and Ekstrabladet is like Nat. Enquirer or The Sun, sleazy journalism and they like the "see? poor us" and "we're fighting for YOUR rights" attention. believe me, if this has any impact on the Danish iPad users rights, it's purely accidental.
It's slashvertisement alright.
I kinda doubt we can muster/. users in the millions, though... maybe in the thousands...
Thing is, it's not racial profiling, or whatever the PC people wants to call it, because _everyone_ gets profiled. It's behavioral profiling. You can't game it with types like 80 years old invalids, they get profiled as well.
The only way to 'game' that system is to try to game your answers and response to the agent, and I'm putting my money (and my life) on that they're pretty good at spotting that.
And you are affectively gaming the random checks, in that you're gaming on it not being you that gets checked, and since not everyone gets checked, you do have a certain percentile chance of success.
Oh, I'm certain I'm not the first to think of that, but if the Windows security model has taught me anything, it's that people will blindly click anything to get to the goodies (in this case phonecall/Angry Birds/txtservice) underneath, and I believe that this will extend to smart-phones as well.
Putting a PIN on there might help a little, but the whole RFID still strikes me as just a bit too immature to trust it with financial transactions just yet.
And the blackhat standing by the exit door with a 50$ RFID-reader gets my account as well. They're gonna need some very hefty security measures to get me on that bandwagon, thankyouverymuch!
"but a major driver of the technology is the opportunity for retailers to gain access to their customers' cellphones and social networks for marketing purposes." Is NOT helping in convincing me.
I don't want a facebook/twitter update of what I bought and where, every time I shop.
Aritlce I, Section 9, Clause 2 The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.
Pardon me, but didn't you guys loose the right to habeas corpus in one of the 'terror laws' passed after 9/11?
I have to agree, even though I see it the other way around. The problem is not that everyone has something to hide, the problem is that there are entirely too many asshats that think that they are entitled to access to your secrets.
I'm not sure it's the Disney duck the Swedes were voting for...
this duck http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arne_Anka is pretty famous as well over here in Skandinavia...

Sorry, just had to do that.
It's not very nice to refer to Neelie Kroes as 'a broad'...
I DON'T GET IT! WHY!!!?
more seriously, apart from the fact that no IT professional would want to use the machine or OS, this is daft to the point of idiocy.
It's fixing one of the side-effects, not the disease or even the symptoms.

could you point us to some numbers substantiating this?
It has long since ceased being kabuki theater and has passed into bukkake theater.
Bukkake theater? No thanks,
not with her.
Rule 35 or not.

but I like to flaunt my genitalia online?

But I thought this was the year of the linux desktop?
seriously, are we starting the troll posts and flamebaits in the articles now?
funny, yesterday it was an obscure bible reference that supposedly proved Israeli mischief

Sounds like someone has found someone to blame, and are desperately searching for "evidence" to back it up

On a technical note, this week we'll put in place a solution to allow everyone to re-download their games.
so they're working on it.

allow me to correct that...
1. Accuse someone of having massive amounts of porn and offer to sell your silence
2. Get countersued for slander and defamation (or whatever it's called)
3. Profit!!!
(after all, my little collection of shemale midgets on urinsleds is hardly massive...)
I'd still give them a damn good x-ray Goatse to look at... the free ice would just be a bonus.
love the specs, but if Toshiba puts their 10" out for 400, this one dies on the shelves, even if I like the 7" size much better.
there's a fairly comprehensive article on
