So if your name shows up in this dump, will that be a public service too? Because it most certainly could. What possible mechanism do you think exists to unequivocally verify whether any of these names denote actual members of the KKK before their reputations are irreparable tarnished?
Yeah, there's nothing that pisses me off so much as people with the balls to attempt really hard things that have never been done before and especially without the promise of an immediate payoff. Why can't they just be humble and iterate their myspace clone whilst pivoting to web2.0 mediocrity?
I'm STILL waiting for a rational explanation for how destructive scanning isn't death.
Here's a thought experiment. Imagine a single one of your neurons were replaced by an artificial construct that replicated the interface of that neuron in every way. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference despite the fact that 1/100,000,000,000 of your brain was now "uploaded". Now do another, then another and so on. In due course, you are 10 percent, 25 percent, 80 percent until eventually your mind is completely hosted, uploaded, on the artificial substrate.
It's right and well that you've been modded down. First of all, the obvious. Encrypt and lock the phone. You were doing that in case of loss or theft anyway, right? Secondly, there was just recently a high profile supreme court case where it was found unconstitutional for cops to stop you and just start going through your phone so I wish they would do that. I'd subsequently beat the case with a public pretender.
It's not just the private prisons that profit. The correctional officers' unions lobby relentlessly against any legislation to reduce federal prison sentences. It's perverse.
They didn't outlaw rooting or loading custom ROMs or anything else like that. They just made it a violation to unlock a phone from one carrier to use on another.
Just a thought, using something like vnc from a mobile device would make it more likely to happen since keyboards on most smartphones/tablets capitalize the first letter in anything it thinks is a sentence.
The OS running on the phone didn't just spring out of nowhere. If you add up all the development time spent on the code running on an OOTB iPhone 5 what do you think would be the cost?
Second, surface comes with the office apps, which are big in and of themselves, but provide the user with most of the apps heshe needs. 23 gb free space, all for excel files nd word docs? That's huge.
Get off your high horse. The 105 years quoted is pure bs. The min/max guidelines in federal court were overturned years ago but people just keep quoting them. This guy will do some time but he'll see the light of day in plenty of time to enjoy life as an ex-felon with something like zero prospects of ever living a productive life with a decent job again. That's the real tragedy here.
Does offending a few people's sense of modesty really justify doing that to someone regardless of how many people he did it to?
See, the courts see it a little differently. If you steal something like a computer or whatever, then the person you stole it from is like, "it sucks but I can get another one". The mental harm is fairly minimal. But when you start fucking with peoples' emotions like in this case it takes on an entirely different and to the average person more serious context. This dude isn't going to get a slap on the wrist. Expect at least 10 years. And in the fed joint, he'll do 85 percent of that. There are some programs he can apply for that might knock off a year or so but he's done for a while.
The only thing about that is they actually did away with statutory maximum and minimum sentences in the US federal courts a few years since having a set minimum was deemed unconstitutional. So now the judge can pretty much give you whatever they want, though they do generally go by the former guidelines more or less.
As far as plea bargaining to the feds, you don't get a guaranteed low sentence when you do that, what happens is if you are pretty sure you'll get convicted, you plea bargain so that the US attorney will recommend a particular to the judge but it is still up to the judge what you get. If you can come in with a good enough sob story about how your molested as a kid (for example) then you stand a decent chance of getting lower than what the US attorney is suggesting.
The problem with going to trial is you aren't being what they call "cooperative". This adds to your "points" which is how they compute the guidelines that they aren't really bound by but use anyway. It's a circus. I wish I could explain it all more clearly.

I'm guessing some kind of rating or feedback system like how ebay does it might be in order.

Just because you can write a page to auto-refresh doesn't mean you should.
Especially considering XMLHttpRequest has been around a long time.

So, what techno wizardry are they sporting in Japan right now that I can look forward to in 2025?
Just to be clear... our current payment systems are incredibly insecure right now.
Yep! This is why I still stick to the trusty old barter system. And if you're listening, Timothy, I've got two sacks of potatoes for some mod points!
Didn't Google Pay require carrier's blessing?
According to the blog post cited in the summary above, this works on all carriers.
Um, woosh?
