I understand that law enforcement will use the argument: "Sir, our system shows that you MUST have exceeded the speed limit on that stretch of road. No , we can't actually prove it, we only infer it from the measurements".
Is such stuff enough to condemn someone to a fine ( or worse ) in the UK ? That sounds like a fine example of "presumed guilty until proven innocent". Whoa.
Nothing motivates people (the male kind) more than destructing speed camera's.
Amen. Here where I live, there is a speed warner that shows you your speed. It can't display a higher speed than 99 km/h. The day I move away from here, I'm gonna race along it at 200+ km/h. I am just HOPING for some bug in it that makes the software crash. How geek-satisfying would THAT be...
Technology does not have such a thing as "natural evolution". Technology's evolution is guided by human beings according to certain needs and rationales.
Every two years, I throw all my computer stuff away - or sell or recycle it, having shrubbed the hdds, then buy the latest stuff.
Keeps the house tidy.
Really. I am sick and tired of seeing posts on/. on the Ipad. It's a waste of our time. Wasn't/. supposed to be "news for nerds, stuff that matters"? Ipads are not news for nerds, nor are they stuff that matters. Yuck.
A rapid scan shows that most of those who, here on this page AND are complaning about or admitting to having gmail accounts hacked, are within the US. I am in Austria, and know of no compromised accounts whatsoever - friends, acqaintances, etc. etc. Although the Serbian hackers are damn close... Coincidence ?
This sounds like an excellent idea. Yours truly being an advocate of the Tibetan cause, I could seriously consider putting this in fine print ( which is enough ) at the foot of each of the pages of my website. Thanks for the idea.
You can fully "undress" it, down to the bare basics, and it is incredibly stable. You'll definitely run it from a 4 Gb USB stick - and your students, most importantly, will LEARN from it.
You are greatly exaggerating. Google explicitly states that it takes down material when, amongst other conditions, it violates local law. Google has to comply as much with local law as you and I - at home and when we are abroad.
Gizmodo is, in whatever form, still making its revenue from news. And news-publishers, besides some very serious newspapers, will KILL for news. Which Gizmodo just did. Sad, very sad - but business as usual in media-shark land.
Finally. All Canucks & Americans who laughed at us Europeans now get to experience how nice it is: no hassle, quiet skies, no contrails, stay-at-home and work -- or be stranded in interesting cities at your bosses' expenses !
It is meet and right that gizmodo's write-up strikes an angry tone. This kind of stuff helps societies become police states - which BTW my own cursed home country is already becoming, along with Britain and others. The security craze at its worst.
Yes, Apple has a locked down system that rejects apps for arbitrary reasons.
This is a known fact, can we stop pretending its "stuff that matters?"
Apple, being the owner of the platform and operating within a capitalist economy, is absolutely free to act as it does. Moreover, timothy, in publising this write-up and in adding the "censorship" or "yro" tag, you are totally wrong. This is no censorship, this has nothing to do with Your Rights Online. This is simply a corollary of capitalism, like it or not. Live with it.

Now THIS is the open source project I was waiting to work upon: exciting, new, unusual, you name it. Can't wait to see the first data !

I just bought a computer with an 1156 socket on its motherboard, which means that THAT computer will be locked to i5 / i7 in a few years. Hmmm.
I just re-defined the verb "troll". Although I do realize that this post may constitute proof of me being trolled. In both ways.
Holy shit - i got trolled ! One more accomplishment...

Uh, YES. You can post whatever you want, indeed - but a judge may order you to remove it. Even thing1.com is in some jurisdiction.

Prolly Israel is waging its war on terror with other, way more covert means. Which wouldnot surprise me, from them.

...Googol is getting a thumbs-up from me. WTG Mountain View !
Is your ass industrial secret ?? Wow, I wish I had your ass !

Some people will never - ever - notice smileys :-)

Do you mean to say "hypothetical", or are you really calling me a hypocrite ?
one more addiction looming ahead....
Yay. 'twould seem that a lot of effort goes, lately, into killing Flash - or at least into thwarting its ever wider spread. A good thing ?
