Skype MIGHT have been able to do something about that if you fuckers weren't so fragmented, thus forcing Skype's makers to try to adapt for every possible API, instead of the (relatively) cleaner singular API sets for OSX and Windows?
"If a cop "violates the Constitution", but doesn't get prosecuted, what happens? Maybe some civil suit where the public ends up paying a bunch of money. Well, screw that. I don't want to pay a bunch of money because some cop did something wrong any more than I want to pay because some random person broke the law."
Well then you better quit sitting on your ass and perhaps start doing something about it, eh?
"Unless a local prosecutor indicts those uniformed hooligans, they will not face any punishment for their illegal actions"
This is explicitly not true. In fact, the moment these officers are off-duty, they are fair game for the entire local populace to enforce a citizen's arrest and FORCE a trial upon them.
And in that moment, they are going to be FUCKED FOR LIFE, because this will truly be the people bringing action, not some favorite-playing IA department.
'Please show me where in the constitution is says anything about recording police behavior, let alone cell phone cameras."
According to the Tenth Amendment, the government of the United States has the power to regulate only matters delegated to it by the Constitution. Other powers are reserved to the states, or to the people (and even the states cannot alienate some of these).
This means that as long as the people seize the power to record public happenings (which several courts have ruled upon, up to the highest court, that you have no reasonable expectation of privacy [which is why police can immediately begin recording you with their dash cameras,]) they retain that power.
A simplified but quite accurate representation, because ultimately power must be seized, not voted upon. You see this already happening with the government's broadening brush.
I'm sorry, a simple bending of a MicroSD card will destroy it.
I've broken tons of them just putting them into a microSD-SD converter.
Find the right spot on the phone and apply pressure, it's all you need.
Disclaimer: I spend my life figuring out how to break and repair semiconductor-based equipment. The SMT jobs done on microSD cards is pure garbage, they could've used an extra microgram of solder to ensure proper flash-to-pcb connections.
I wonder if the people of the USA have any legal recourse to arrest our own government for illegal acts of war since the evidence is out in the open, not to mention violating human rights by attempting to maintain slave labor conditions (The recent Levi Strauss/Haiti revelation) for profit.
Oh, and shall we drop on charges of illegal renditions of other countries leaders (how do you think Haiti happened?)
Such is the sad state of education in the USA today. I got very, very lucky with my unique combination of schools that I attended as a youth from the 80s-90s. I acquired 4 years of agricultural and horticultural science in high school ON TOP of my biology, which I actually had to re-take because I was a total fuckup my first year of high school and voluntarily skipped 150+ days my first freshman year.
The majority of what people seem to know about horticulture now comes from cannabis forums, which in themselves have tons of myths and nonsense. Blue for veg, red for flower. WRONG.

You shits can't see the forest for the trees.
"I guess it would be easier to automate spamming/phishing if you could interface their network without goin ghtorugh their client... maybe?"
Nah, it's easy just going through the client itself to spam.
"consuming 100MB RAM currently and not being any more capable than I remember 3 versions ago."
Oh just wait until you do Skype group calling. Kiss your 4GB adios with that encryption supposedly happening.
Protip: I've got a few China passport stamps. It's a requirement of my job.
You left the base path and started running towards the outfield. They're starting to figure out working communism.

"You showed that the delusion that guns defend our rights should be retired except as a fairy tale for demented children."
Some of us have different guns of a totally different caliber.
Brains can outgun brawn any day if properly applied.

Sadly there's this "Constitution Free Zone" within 100 miles of borders, and the beachline (up to 13 nautical miles out) is considered part of that.
So I'll be willing to bet this case DIES. We've had our rights bought out, there's no further defending them..
Comply or die, citizen. Those are your only choices - Comply with the new powers or die fighting them.

Free, my ass, pal. Time for your Alzheimer's medication.

Shadow Warrior.
"cinematic insertion elements"
No thanks. I don't want to watch movies. I'd much prefer to be fragging things, in the bloodiest and most gory methods possible.
OUM/OVM memory for storage applications. The IOPS should be quite nice once done properly.
No, it's called realistic thinking.
Or you can keep thinking that while I work towards controlling the world food supply.
Then you'll simply cease to be anything, much less a problem.
"needing an easy & fast to modify codebase to build websites and apps on"
"keeping ease of modification even when big and continuous modifications are added on top of it. "
Yea so we're looking at both slow AND an inherent security flaw of stacking shit on top of shit instead of rewriting from the ground-up.
Sony's sites ran on similar principles - look what happened to them.
"If it is truly a violation of the law, I'm all for punishing them."
Criminal negligence. Every single state has laws regarding it.
We also have data protection laws.
Apparently I have more knowledge of it than you do. My site database is at least 10x faster.
How about you use some peer-reviewed stuff instead of Zeitgeist?
Oh wait you won't bother to find the peer-reviewed stuff, because it utterly proves you wrong.
"no. its not human nature to be selfish or greedy."
I see someone totally forgot about self preservation or slept entirely through that class in school.
Not surprising, considering all the other nonsense you keep spewing.
That's probably why I'm a research director and you're just here on Slashdot.
BTW your OOP codebase blows. It looks like a 5th grader tried matrix multiplication on acid.
Sounds like a billion people with half a brain going 'DUH' to me.
Man can make it, man can break it. If you think otherwise, you're an idiot.
PhysX is proprietary, it was developed by nVidia precisely for this reason
Nope. PhysX was developed by Ageia.
Funnily enough the ATCC uses me for landrace preservation.

"Third, while non-reproducing seed is a type of lock-in, there is still seed available which does reproduce."
And the majority of that is covered under the Plant Patent Act, which destroys your argument as unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.
