I don't know what the repercussions are in Denmark but here in the US when you see FBI warnings before a movie stating you'll be fined $150,000 and 10 years in a PMITA prison... I'd rather just keep my mouth shut and let someone who actually got caught challenge the system.
That quote is from the +5 informative post in the Kudos comment thread. A lot has changed since the 60's. Federal Minimum sentences, outrages fines, etc. Also if your skin color gives you away you really can't keep your head down so you had to fight for your rights. This is something that anyone can avoid; boycott or follow their rules. As noted in the comments from the torrent freak website: the probable outcome (if this goes to trial) is that the law will be changed to not allow personal backup copies; not that the circumvention will be removed.
So was the troll cause I was going for my first, first post ever on any forum, or because you disagree that its best to avoid law enforcement unless you can help it?
You act like its an epidemic. Those people are weak and are having natural selection take place. There are over 6 billion people on this planet. How many shootings are there? Maybe one every couple of years? So thats one in 6 billion every 2 years? What is the problem here? Have some perspective. These people are weak and need to understand that the world is a cruel place. Those that can't handle it will die off and hopefully not pass that genetic trait on to their children and we will all be better for it.
Who says you're supposed to make a bunch of money for developing a stupid little app? Could it just be that Apple is extorting the masses for something that is of little or no true value?
Any respectable company should boycott the Chinese market over this. It isn't a gamble to sell games to china that meet their criteria, however it does mean that you sold out your conscience for more profits. Personally I'd refuse to make changes from a piece of artwork to appease the establishment.
My one condition: The video can only be viewed when a victim reports a crime.
The camera's can passively collect data, but may not be viewed. In order to view the data from the camera a victim must report a crime and then a warrant to view the alleged misdeed could then be viewed by a third party. If there is evidence to support the allegation it would then be viewable by the court.
The problem with constant surveillance is fishing expeditions. Crusaders who would watch the cameras like hawks and report every little misdeed.
Catching people speeding, having consensual sex, using substances, in possession of banned item, etc are what is bad about surveillance. If you could catch thieves, rapists and murders with surveillance who would be opposed to it? The issue is that surveillance is also used to catch people who do things which a large portion (but not the majority) of people think should be legal, but the majority has managed to pass "stupid" laws against. The prime example of this is cannabis.
There is a lot between 1 and.999 if your frame of reference is 1 second and the value you are measuring is the speed of light.
If you are measuring the length of a shoelace in inches then 1 inch and.999 inches might as well be the same thing.
Really if you just change the frame of reference and name your units something so that.999 is irrelevant then there for all practical purposes is no difference. However if your scale is wrong then those repeating decimals make a big difference.
You could also hide your usage with a battery system. Pull a constant draw during off peak hours to save money and also hide your actual usage. You could also pull a low constant draw 24/7 or pull a spiked full 200 amp draw for short periods of time. You could really screw with the Power Companies metering this way.
When studying abroad during college I took the opportunity to eat local cuisine. Many of the animals I ate were of the American pet variety. They were all very tasty. When I returned many of my classmates where offended that I would eat species that are common pets in America. It is sad how close minded many people are.
I have contractor friends in Iraq and the only thing I've seen them shoot are 30mm rounds from Apaches and 50 cal rounds from sniper rifles. There isn't much left after getting hit with either of those rounds.
Parallel computing is great for solving NP-Complete problems. If you have enough cores for every possible solution you can have all possible paths process at the same time and compare the results.
They did and I filed a dispute. That was the end of it. Different collection agencies would pick up the tab and send a letter. I sent them notice of the dispute and wouldn't hear from them again. They'd sell it to another creditor and it would happen again. I send the notice and they stop calling, if they call a second time I get a check for $1,000 under the fair credit collections act.
I got my Droid the other day and I didn't sign any contracts. They just gave it to me. I assume there is some agreement when I pay the bill, but I've signed no such contract. Also T-mobile and the like have had a class action lawsuit over early termination fees and lost. Early termination fees don't have a very good record in court. I stiffed T-mobile my early termination when they tried to hit me with a "automatic-rollover" contract which once my two years time was done, I decided to opt out of service. I didn't opt out during the proper window so they charged me $400. They never got it, it has been 8 years now and they never collected or took me to court.

Not a smart move. Better to avoid the law even if you are correct.

I don't know whether to laugh because it is so ridiculously stupid or to cry because whoever suggested it was serious.
I'd rather have the death penalty.
Right, don't complain, just be apathetic. How about we complain like hell till we reach a tipping point.
You need to complain to as many people as possible. That is doing something. That is how you change public opinion.
Gee and to think I thought my penis was mine...
Jigga what?
Ah yes, the dog translator.

You shouldn't have to "recode" just "recompile" if you use Applekid's method.

Had you done so in your comment I would have been happy to oblige.
I have actually used something very close to that for websites where I didn't want to register. i.e. to pay a ticket online.

Think of the Children!
And whoever thinks children are "innocent" has never had a child of their own.
And it is amazing how an emotional story carries so much more political weight than statistics.

PBS has some of the best pre-school and elementary school programming. Everyone knows Sesame Street.

But once again that is on the owner, not the breed. Any breed can become dangerous. Outlawing a breed is just stupid.
