No, sorry wrong. You fail to realize what phishing is all about. You give your information away voluntarily. Nobody breaks into your house, rapes your dog and steals your kittyfood. It's no different than any other scam. When you give your information away like that you place your responsibility into someone else's hands. Sure, they are responsible for any abuse, but you are responsible for providing that information. I don't care where you are, but giving somebody your wallet because they "Wanted to look at it" and then running off with it will get your ass laughed out the court. What is it they say? "Fool me once, shame on...you, fool me twice.... You cant get fooled again!"
And BTW I doubt these people will get charged with 'theft' rather it will be more along the lines of fraud and conspiracy. And AFAIK ripping people off is not illegal, it's called "business." Welcome to America, hope you stay long. Our reach is.
What if somebody writes their banking information on their forehead and walks around? Would everyone that took note or memorized it be breaking the law? What happened to personal responsibility? I have seen scams worse than this in the "real world" and the people never get prosecuted. They hide behind their small print and their armies of lawyers, not the Internet. So much for justice.
I don't understand how 'verifying' your vote online can do anything useful. Look at it this way: We have 1,000,000 people who cast their votes 50/50 for Bob and Dick. They all check them online and they all are correct. What's to stop me from tallying the votes wrong and reporting something like 57/43? The technology is not the issue here. The issue is that private companies with monied interests are secretly going about building these systems. You cannot observe, analyze or audit the software, hardware, practices or workings independently--legally or practically. Elections have been rigged for a long time in various ways(see the re-election rates for a shocker), but now it's out in the open for all to see. Unless these secret systems and practices become open and able to be examined, expect the voter turnout to become meaningless whereupon elections will be quietly abolished. They will become nothing more than the 99% of the vote charades that Saddam was getting with a western 51/49 twist. I don't know how to release the death-grip that corporations have on congress, but I do know that if nothing is done, people will be forced to start caring.
Do patents help innovation? I don't necessarily think so but we have an experiment in the works. Europe has no software patents while in the US all they are doing is trying to make patents "better"(they just want to spend less on litigation and refiling using free labor...bastards). Let's see how this works out:
1. Big Patent Holder Patents X in USA 2. European Company uses X in its software 3. Profit!
Europe is looking like a good place to be making software...
You fail to see the difference between a constitutional republic and a democracy. I doubt you even know what "tyranny of the majority" would mean or what kind of significance that would have. US is a constitutional republic not a democracy. Your quotes are quite the sentiment the founding fathers had about democracies.
"The two great points of difference between a democracy and a republic are: first, the delegation of the government, in the latter, to a small number of citizens elected by the rest; secondly, the greater number of citizens, and greater sphere of country, over which the latter may be extended" -James Madison(Federalist 10, 1787).
It's not my fault the schools don't teach you that. You're supposed to learn that on your own.
He's going to be charged with "conspiracy to knowingly present a false and fictitious claim upon or against the United States, or any department or agency thereof in violation of USC 18..." So they are saying he's lying about TSA security sucking ass? Ahahah...I can't describe the irony and stupidity. They will basically have to defend their stupid policies in court.
Actually it is quite easy for Congress to control the fact that they are the ones that declare war. I don't suppose that anybody would block the massive defense spending. System was designed with some thought, sadly with much more than the idiots running it these days...
"Hello I'm Bob. Give me your password so I can check that you voted for Joe, my brother. If it doesn't work I will be back to break some more bones." But why bother when all you have to do is change a few thousand electronic votes by pointing and clicking. The only way you can trust an electronic vote is open hardware, software and random auditing of voting machines. I resent the fact that very few people care about this and that the only way this will become an issue is when something catastrophic happens. Welcome to Voting Fraud 2.0
In practice, it allows manufacturers of printers to sue manufacturers of replacement cartridges.
Courts have ruled on the section 1201 of the DMCA. What they ruled, in practice, is that works ordinarily under the protection of copyright law were protected by section 1201. The purpose of the law was to protect such works and not to monopolize ink computer-printer cartridges(Lexmark v. Static Control Corp) and garage-door openers(Chamberlain v. Skylink). An excellent overview of copyright law can be found here.
They are merging them, but I doubt one cpu will do both. This will be more like 2 cores where 1 core does sequential instruction processing, and other is a more vector processor where you have to do the same operation over a lot of data. Sounds pretty interesting since you will be able to use the vector processor as a more general purpose cpu to do other things. The challenge will be solving the problem of cores competing for the bus bandwidth.
And, umm shareholders? I'm sure buying half their IPO will give me some say. Otherwise flooding the market with their shares is likely to cause some panic and change their opinion. Now to think of it...RIAA doesn't have such cash at hand...wait a minute!
NEW YORK, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Visa, the world's largest credit card payment system, said on Wednesday that it plans a series of restructuring moves that will ultimately result in the sale of shares through an initial public offering.
Not to feed the trolls, but criticizing Clinton for the same things Bush is doing is kind of ironic don't you think? Maybe we need more people pulling others' heads out of their collective parties' asses instead of (quite symbolically) being hypocrites.
I don't think they are trying to stop them, only control them. If you know anything about rumors is that they work like broken telephones. Every person modifies the message a little bit that by the end you have something resembling nothing like the first one. If you play upon people's feelings you can end up controlling a large population through their own fears and anxieties. Of course, it might turn around and bite you in the ass as well.
Why is this flamebait? I don't want to hijack this story, but I think that we should first look to our own government before starting to criticize others'. We have an election coming up where 80% of all votes will be cast on electronic voting machines operated by a private company. I shouldn't need to mention what kind of affiliation the owner has with the Bush Administration. We're being spied on, can be held indefinitely without a reason why or any contact with the outside world...I hope the people with their heads in the sand realize what is happening around them once they come up for air...
You know why the currency hasn't collapsed yet? Well, the dollar is not quite fiat money. It is backed by oil. The only way you can buy oil is with petrodollars. Every country in the world has to have a rather large sum of dollars in their banks to buy and sell oil. In a way, the whole planet is being leveraged against the price of oil and the dollar. It's a dirty little secret when it comes to the dollar. It won't collapse because every nation in the world that buys oil is propping it up with its dollars. However, if it does collapse, expect something the order of the Great Depression. On a side note Saddam tried to switch and guess what happened. Also Iran is trying to start its own oil bourse... You can imagine what might happen if that ever gets on its feet.
I believe that the congress doesn't really respect the techies, hackers, hobbyists. Instead of openly inviting such 'experts' to make technology a helpful tool, they instead listen blindly to their bribing lobby and make boneheaded decisions behind closed doors in dark secret corners. I'm sorry but that is not democracy, that is fascism. Instead of praising people that point out flaws in their systems, like one would praise a helpful neighbor that finds a broken fence and helps you mend it, they instead lock them in jails and let the thieves make them pay for it. I'm sorry but there is only so much we can do. If you go down the line of terrible legislation that *ASSociations have written such as DMCA, copyright extensions, monopoly appeasement, etc. it's clear where the ear is listening. It may also be our fault in that we are not as organized as these megamobsterations, but if these policy makers are really looking to do the right thing they would listen with both ears.

Actually when the guy saw all the people giggling he qualified his statements. Besides he wasn't under oath.

Then when they get elected they will halt all investigations into the matter since they will be in control. Genious! Pure Genious!

Or a catapult? Or airplane? Would be a fun exercise.
