Or get the guy that gave them permission to go on a photoshoot with them. That'd be fun.
Already been done. A news crew was in the process of interviewing the head-honcho for that stuff at amtrak and a guard came up to them and told them to shut off their cameras.
Yeah, because finding out information about people is totally the same as locking them in jail. You haven't provided any evidence that what you decry is equivalent to treating people as "guilty".
The premise of "innocent until proven guilty" isn't simply about putting people in jail - its about infringing on their rights when there isn't any reason to even be suspicious. Forcing 100% law abiding people to identify themselves to anyone with the right database is pretty unreasonable - its the equivalent of requiring people to wear nametags or identifying tattoos.
If you can't monitor your speed while watching out for other hazards, then get the fuck off the road. You're a menace to everyone on and near the roads.
That's bullshit. Speed cameras are yet another manifestation of the zero-tolerance mindset that requires rigid obedience instead of competency. It should be no surprise that the end result is the sacrifice of general competence in favor of rigid obedience.
How are road cameras abusing people who haven't committed a crime?
They record time and location information that is stored indefinitely. If you haven't done anything wrong there should be no reason to record where and when you were driving.
Since when is gun registration violating innocent until proven guilty?
Is it the same way as driver and vehicle licensing violates it?
That is... not at all?
Just because the courts have ruled that vehicle licensing doesn't violate the principle of "innocent until proven guilty" doesn't necessarily make it so. After all, there was plenty of precedent that slavery didn't violate the principle of "all men are created equal" too.
It may have been reasonable to require license tags on vehicles when the only real application was for identifying drivers who have been involved in an accident. But now that cameras are pervasive and the databases linking license tags to owners/drivers are too, license tags of people who have not committed a crime are routinely abused by both the government and private entities. The scope has creeped far beyond the original justification and thus what once was considered a reasonable trade-off between the public good and individual rights is no longer so.
Does that mean I can use one of the dozens of ethernet cables currently languishing in my closets?
YES - that's the whole point of it. See the official Technology Comparison Table - it says "use existing network wiring." It also says "low cost standard cat5e/6 LAN cable" - but then that's essentially what the line you quote said too.
Trader Joes, Whole Foods and Wal-Mart (the "super-center" ones with groceries) don't play those games and in most parts of the country there is at least one 'regular' grocery like Publix or Market Basket that are card free too.
My point was simply to show that such a soundbite was at best meaningless. Chances are the rest in that list are too. I'd never even heard of Dewey until I read that quote, but it was so blatantly one-sided it triggered my "too good to be true" alarm - no one of any significance makes statements that are so self-damning as that one appears. Anyone taking them at face value is just raising a red flag about their own credulity.
"The children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the collective society which is coming, where everyone would be interdependent." -John Dewey
A quote deliberately removed from context and sensationalized by Ann Coulter, of all people.
Dewey also said this about education: "To prepare him for the future life means to give him command of himself; it means so to train him that he will have the full and ready use of all his capacities; that his eye and ear and hand may be tools ready to command, that his judgment may be capable of grasping the conditions under which it has to work, and the executive forces be trained to act economically and efficiently. It is impossible to reach this sort of adjustment save as constant regard is had to the individual's own powers, tastes, and interests."
Hardly reconcilable with Coulter's intended misinterpretation of that first quote now, isn't it?
then they dig up their free bags of money in sullivan county, and get on with their average suburban wannabe lives. when the kgb calls, they find a paranoid schizophrenic's blog and rivet their kgb bosses with useless tales of intrigue from the wild west. this spy ring is a joke
I thought that was pretty obvious. The very first article I read about the bust contained this suppossedly intercepted message:
"You were sent to USA for long-term service trip. Your education, your bank accounts, car, house, etc - all these serve one goal: fulfill your main mission, ie to search and develop ties in policymaking circles in US and send intels (intelligence reports) to C (Centre)," an intercepted message said according to the indictment.
It sounds like the kind of exposition you'd hear in a hollywood movie when the writer wants to explain background to the audience, not the kind of thing a real spy handler would ever write -- unless he was super pissed that his spies had just taken his free money and run off with it.
2) Your problem needs to be floating point. GPUs push 32-bit floating point numbers really fast. The most recent ones can also do 64-bit FP numbers at half the speed. Anything older is pretty much 32-bit only. For the most part, count on single precision FP for good performance.
That requirement is not necessarily true. Or at least not in the traditional sense of 'floating point.' GPUs make awesome pattern-matchers for data that isn't necessarily floating point.
Elcomsoft (of adobe DRM international arreset fame) has a GPU accelerated password cracker that is essentially a massively parallel dictionary attack,
A number of anti-virus vendors have GPU accelerated scanners - like Kaspersky.
The man's real name was Ibrahim Botani - the pseudonym "Kopimi" was adopted because many pirates refer to themselves as kopimists - "kopi mi" --> "copy me."
Here's a somewhat autobiographical post in his blog. Unfortunately for most of slashdot's readership, it's not written in english.
This "youth vote" is atypical. You can say they would have voted for McCain instead of simply not voting, but given the turnouts for the last 3 decades, it seems highly unlikely.
or you needed to tell the operator where you located.
Bingo. Same way it is now with cell phones. I'll swag it, but I doubt that more than 1 in 100,000 E911 calls are the kind where the caller is unable to tell the operator their location. It makes for high-tension commercial-break cliff-hangers to have the protagonist dial 911 and then pass out, but in real life that seems highly unlikely.

Unfortunately this is now a permanent setting, so you have to remember to change it back after posting.
I'm pretty sure that's only true if you enable javascript in your browser.
At least I'll find out for sure with this post...
What, you mean everyone isn't a randian superman like me? I'm shocked!
And if you were in my mother's basement too you could see the shock on my face!
In fact most people I knew back in college were a bunch of binge drinking twats that hardly turned out to be better citizens.
You are either your own counter-example or just another binge-drinking twat.

I just avoid the stores that push them.

I've always wondered: If you have more than one "loyalty card", does that make you a traitor or just a whore?
Both - you've already whored out your privacy for illusory cheaper prices with the first card.

Maybe in the future you should link sites that work correctly when visited by the paranoid.
Works fine for me, I'm probably more paranoid than you. I use refcontrol. I have nytimes.com set to have a referrer of "http://google.com/"

This "youth vote" is atypical. You can say they would have voted for McCain instead of simply not voting, but given the turnouts for the last 3 decades, it seems highly unlikely.
hes going to lose virtually all of the youth vote if he messes up on the internet.
Which, sadly, won't mean diddlysquat since its not like the "youth vote" will go anywhere else- they will just stay home.
But the AC is right... freedom of speech is no excuse for being ignorant, intolerant and offensive.
Actually, it is. Freedoms don't mean anything unless you exercise them.
Sounds like a good list for a new "Copyright Contract With America" - where's Newt when you need him?
Actually it was closer to 1-100
If your going to dispute my swag, you really should cite your sources. You know, that "history" you smugly refer to?
Yet when these same governments block sites for religious purposes it's considered some sort of right to choose
Bullshit. The entire reason it is a big news story is because it is so bogus.
