It would cost a lot of money to publish every single document that could be requested. Plus, certain documents contain sensitive/personal information, so they may omit certain parts of the document depending on who requests it. You can request the information US Customs has on you. Entries, exits, etc.
I may be an anomaly, but every single AppleCare warranty I take out, it pays for itself and onwards.
1. Powerbook G4 - Two motherboard replacements, $600
2. Macbook Pro (2005?) - Two motherboard replacements, new Macbook Pro to replace(They let me get AppleCare on this one too, 3 years starts over) - $1000 plus cost of new Macbook Pro
3. Macbook Pro (Early 2008) (Free)- Now has a red line going down the screen...guess I'm getting a new laptop.
In some lectures at UW-Madison we're required to use a clicker system to answer question. We can use a dedicated clicker, our smartphones, or our laptops to use as a "clicker". Prior art.
I just emailed my airline expressing my concern of the scanners. If enough of their customers start telling them they don't want these, the airlines, who are in a relatively high position of authority to negotiate with the TSA, will try to change policy. People being annoyed, humiliated, and pissed off is not good for business, and the airlines know it will hurt their bottom line.
Also, with VPN, once someone is connected to the VPN, they're another peer, just like a wired peer. I fail to see how you get any benefit to your proposed solution to the problem.
The benefit of the VPN is that it encrypts your traffic so that someone using this exploit wouldn't be able to see and manipulate your traffic.
There was a large group of people at the time (anti-federalists) that did not want a Federal Government that had too much power. Many states would not ratify the Constitution unless a Bill of Rights (First 10 Amendments) was added. It was a compromise.
So to put it this way, if the Bill of Rights was never added to the Constitution, many states would not have ratified the Constitution and America really wouldn't be united as one country...Sounds pretty damn important to me.
I live in the People's Republic of China and this has never happened to me before. I occasionally cannot access Google, however that usually goes away after three minutes. I can see it happening here, however I cannot vouch for the validity of accusation.
Uhm, you're comparing how many downloads a big company gets when they offer new maps and stuff for free, to songs that you purchase for 99 cents a piece. It seems like you're comparing apples to oranges.
I'm an ex-pat that lives in China 10 months out of the year, and the USA the other 2 months, and I'd much rather have a censored Google than no Google at all. I moved here about 3 weeks ago, and people make things out to be so much worse than they really are. Besides, I can just use an SSH tunnel and view all of the websites I normally couldn't.
Simply put, China has laws that violate human rights, but Google complying with Chinese laws does not mean that Google is helping China violate human rights. Grow up kids.
As a person who is forced to carry around an ID with RFID implemented into it, I can say this sucks. I go to an international school in Beijing, and to get any food at all, you need what they call a "smart card" which is basically just an ID card with your picture on it but it has RFID implemented into it. School policy is you can't pay straight-up cash for food which is really annoying seeing that everything you purchase via your smart card is logged. My parents can just go to the web interface and look at what I've been eating or whatever.
Now this isn't RFID's fault, the same thing could be possible with using magnetic stripes, but it's policy and the logging of things that's the privacy invasion. RFID just makes things easier for those wanting to get your log your information and stuff. All I have to say is, get the duct tape RFID blocking wallets now! ^_^
I might be moving to China because of my dad's job and they flew my family and me out there about 3 weeks ago to see Beijing. The roaming charges are ridiculous and I ended up having to pay for $260 of roaming charges from my dad's cell phone just calling my gf in the states. The last few days I used Skype which was awesome, but now this happens and I'm pissed. This is just bullshit now. Fuck you Chairman Mao.
If I'm reading this right, and Apple would allow Mac OSX to run on a standard Dell or any x86 machine, Apple would be dead. Apple makes about 95% of their profits on their hardware and if they'd allow Mac OSX to run on a standard x86 machine, no one would buy Powermacs, Powerbooks, iBooks, iMacs, or any kind of Mac which would kill Apple. Teh end.

Light to make the hologram (something I assume is on all state licenses) show up easier?

But these are city employees, not people working for private companies.

It's called the Ponzo effect. The surrounding horizon makes the moon seem larger but it really isn't.
