Dude - I still don't understand what you just said.
Since this might be in code I took all the capitalized words to mean something and got :
ALSO APPEARS AFFINITY.
MOVE!
VERY REAL CLUE!
DO NOT RESOLVE!
ONLY ONE NOT ANYTHING.
ONE LOCATE OUTSIDE AFFINITY.
I added punctuation for my clarity... so other than telling me to move, get a clue and that there's 1 affinity I'm still not sure what you're saying...
Freddy? Oh you forgot the area code - it's 888-555-0129 but yeah,don't kill 'em... That would be illegal... A slow death wouldn't be looked upon kindly by the courts ya'know... Don't call him at all. Please don't call Freddy at 888-555-0129.

And one more thing.. what's the big deal about teaching people hexadecimal? What's the purpose? I can do it, but I've never once thought of a reason I'd want to. Isn't the whole point of the compiler that it does that stuff for you?
Hexadecimal ?
I've used it - for embedded, machine language type stuff.
In addition it serves as a good foundation for the understanding of number systems - especially binary and most logic courses do have a section / approach of using binary numbers / true / false to deal with logical equations.
It's all related... you just need to squint your eyes together when looking at it all.
I'm not really sure that you could annoymize the data reliably... Assuming we're just talking about cell tower "semi-gps" location tracking I've seen it as accurate as 200ft. When the location patterns show an individual residing at a location for multiple nights it's very easy to tie that into an address lookup.
If multiple individuals reside at the address additional criteria can be gleaned by also tying it into where the cell being tracked goes from 9-5 daily.
Any time you begin to go down a slippery slope you've already lost. Warrents should always be required.
This is the first time I've heard it (or remember hearing it more likely)... it sounded to me like he was asking for the Captain to be killed.

I don't think this is an issue of Due Diligence - blame the goverment blah blah blah - it's an issue of THEY LIED. They stated the chips were one thing / one grade and turned out they were another grade entirely.
It's reasonable to expect regular consumers in the marketplace to perform due diligence but when a person claims the product is the product and it appears that way then the person has performed due deligence. Requiring the person to inspect fab plants and everything else for every manufacturer is not due diligence - it's a hassle.
Let's get out of this blame the government mantra - the politico talking heads are having enough fun as it is. This is a criminal issue for which the company should be nailed pretty harshly. The goverment should get it's retribution through whatever means are most expedient.
in the worst case, they could publish the full source of the application in order to comply with the gpl... I mean, it is just a tool to copy files from a to b, right? so it is kind of a silly article.
"Oh I'm sorry officer... I didn't mean to speed 85 in a 35 School Zone. No one's injured so just let me go... "
Just because there are no apparent damages doesn't mean that it was in the right. MessySoft should pull a mea culpa and offer to license the code under a non-GPL license if they so choose from the author. He should add a penalty percentage when coming up with his quote for MessySoft not asking first.
No... she's fairly practical... if she killed me there's no way I could pay alimony to her...
But then again... that brings up an interesting point - I wouldn't have to if I was legally dead. (or would I?)
I wonder about all the difficulty that would happen in the US (sorry - here is US for my geo-centric self) : Say I met some hot chick, we went on a week-long siesta / romp and I came back.
Other than my wife being mad at me when I got back - understandably that is - I wonder how hard it would be to restore myself to the land of the living after being misidentified as being dead.
There'd be issues with drivers licenses, credit card,... reimbursement of funeral home expenses - (do they give reimbursements?)... it'd be a mess.
I went to a speech pathologist twice weekly in grade school for about 4 years to concentrate on my R's. (They came out similair to w's). I also had issues with stuttering.
A number of posters have commented on "What's the point? Person X is doing fine speaking that way."... They may be - but speech patterns can have a large impact of social acceptance to individuals at a young age. Young kids will make fun of anything that appears different to them.
I eventually accomplished the R's and as a teenager eventually grew out of my stuttering issue - it still reappears periodically but never to the extent it did when I was younger (it was cool - my brain would actually run 2-3 words ahead to spot any problem words and start finding substitutions... - now I say what I think which is another problem).

A signed, sealed, dated, and notarized item not standing up in court would be a really really crappy lawyer. The whole point of notarization is to legally document that something occurred. If it isn't valid then what the hell is the purpose of the entire profession?
Trahloc, check your reply points - My suggestion (gp post) was to notarize / witness; the parent post was arguing only for signing and mailing to yourself.
The rumor-gossip of mailing yourself documentation as a way to authenticate your invention date is not likely to stand up to any challenges in a court of law. It's all too easy to steam things open and modify or insert entirely new documents.
The best practical way would be to have a totally dis-interested 3rd party attest to a statement of fact describing the invention and have it notarized.

One of the points that I see repeated over and over when comparing apples to oranges / Linux to PC is that there's a huge learning curve.
I hate to tell you - but there's also a huge learning curve when using Windows. My wife, who had never really used used a PC routinely, was let loose on my Ubuntu box after about 5 minutes of use. A week later I found she had customized her background, changed the icon set, was trying to figure out how to get a cat's meow when she started a program and was wanting access to the package manager so she could see what else she could do.
Her experience with Windows, a bit later was one she described as "frustrating" in that nothing was where she expected it to be.
In general, I think the rule of thumb : Linux is fine. Windows is (possibly) fine. Each to their own - I prefer a Linux varient (Ubuntu currently). Work & Home for the past 4 years.
The specific disclaimers of liability are typically there to dissuade claims - it would be akin to me putting a disclaimer on my shirt that states, "Caution:You will be sucker-punched" and then me going around punching people.
Just because they say it - doesn't make it (legally) true.
Notice : I am not a laywer, lawyer or layer or any combination.
In addition, presumably if her family didn't have control of the picture's the girl's estate would and, lo and behold - I would imagine her family would control her estate (not many teens have wills).
