Depends on the country you reside in. In germany, there is something called "Recht am eigenen Bild". It is forbidden to publish pictures of people without their explicit permission. There are exceptions of course for public figures and situations where the individual person is just a minor aspect of the picture taken.
Oh, and if you curse at a bureaucrat, those worthless sacks of shit of which there are way too many, that's "Beamten Beleidigung" and you can get fined 5000 Euro on their word.
There is no such thing as "beamtenbeleidigung". Insulting an somone working for the government is the same thing as insulting any other abitrary person.
I'd be more interested in having wikipedia entrys tagged with coordinates. Imagine looking at your PDA displaying all interesting wikipedia entries about items in your immediate surroundings.

"Standard peacetime protocol is DEFCON 5, descending in increasingly severe situations. DEFCON 1 represents expectation of actual imminent attack, and is not known to have ever been declared."
I don't think so. To own a weapon of that kind, one would have to have own a "Waffenbesitzkarte" (weapons posession document), which is only issued to those of special interest: collectors, shooting sportsmen, hunters.
There might be other regulations due to the energy put into the "bullet", but a fire arm is defined as a weapon that propells a projectile through a barrel by using an explosive. Guns using compressed air do not fit into that category, but they might be covered by some other regulation.
No law explicitely forbids potato guns. But a potato guns using an explosive air/fuel mixture is by definition a firearm, which posession is prohibited here in germany (and most of europe as well) without the proper authorization.
Considering this, even "fire" is alive by some definition: Given enough "food" and oxygen, it spreads and reproduces, consuming oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide.
And to be honest, even considering this is slashdot, I don't know why. Having all discussion occur through the same interface was - and still is! - extremely comfortable. I prefer my good ol' slrn/tin/gnus over any of these web interfaces.
I like to press one button and check *all* discussion groups I participate in for new messages - sounds quite superior to checking a gazillion web pages.
Are you refering to "Postal 2"?
Try the demo (runs on linux as well), you *can* just get the milk from the supermarket and get home. No violence involved. But then you find the shovel. And from there on, havoc unfolds...
I'm using tar to store the stuff on-the-fly to an FTP site. I even made a flexible backup script to coordinate upload, snapshotting, encryption and everything else. It's completely based on standard unix tools, so I won't have to install any special backup/restore software when recoverying my server.
Part of the problem is that the company (Meraki) pushed firmware upgrades to all the units, including older boxes purchased before their revised licensing model. The new firmware locks down the units, making it impossible to hack them and impossible to load custom firmware and bypass the new locks.
I strongly oppose network equipment that updates itself without giving me the choice of averting that. It's the equivalent of closed source software, only in hardware. Business plans change, and you never know what your former trusted partner is up to in the future. There's also the danger of someone hijacking the update system; This would have been possible with earlier version of the FON(era) upgrade procedure (as pointed out on my website): Imagine having a botnet consisting of all FON/Meraki units ever installed anywhere on this planet. Users (at least the ones FON units are marketed to) won't probably notice, since there windows PC isn't getting slower and no antivirus software will ever detect the compromised router in their network. That's why I cannot trust systems in my network I do not have root access to, especially those that take a central part in it like a router.
Slashdot Mirror
So, it should be able to run User Mode Linux?
Try transferring a larger directory structure (e.g. using rsync) without harming owner and permission data.

Woosh! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Glove#In_popular_culture
She also played herself in a hilarious episode of The Big Bang Theory. "It's hot in here, must be summer!"
We now have this new thing called "HTTPS" that can prevent such things.

While playing around with the fonera routers I already predicted issues like this: http://stefans.datenbruch.de/lafonera/whywedidit.shtml Consumer routers without decent firmware support are a even greater risk than unpatched windows systems; while access to the latter will probably be noticed, the profile of a hijacked routers stays low to its owner.

Why are only special people privileged to counting? Can they not be bought?
There are no special people. Counting the votes has to be done in public, you can go there and watch.

They can build a dozen of those. As long as they do not use it on a public road everything will be fine - at least legally.

Maybe you could start with some ear pods?

LISA
But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards?
SKINNER
No problem. We simply unleash wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.
LISA
But aren't the snakes even worse?
SKINNER
Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
LISA
But then we're stuck with gorillas!
SKINNER
No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.
They alienated those people for good reason: they advertise how safe their router is on their site.
So they lied. Great.
