It's not like this is some sort of surprise going in. I know you feel you should have access to everything, and you do(the hacker just proved it). But that doesn't mean Sony has to make it easy for you. In a way, it is just like Vehicle manufactures. Cars all have proprietary systems, both in hardware and software, that have been increasing tough for independent garages to keep up with. There is a firewall to isolate you from the working components of the car. And if you try to 'mod' your car, you can actually go to jail for operating it on the network(streets). In a way, cars are far more restrictive that the PS3 is.
This would have been a major story if God hadn't smote Haiti. Even the State department was getting involved. I was hoping for them to play hardball, but it's going to take a back seat(not that it shouldn't).
It's like China has an Earthquake machine.
By this argument, the thermal imaging would be allowed, as the heat radiated from the house.
I think it should extend to active vs. passive observing, which is what I think the framers would have intended. If your using any device to boost your perception, your actively infringing on the privacy of the person. While I don't expect agents to ignore things they see and hear, once they start to actively watch me, any device which defeats the privacy of my home should require a warrant.
But a bomb, or any weapon, can be used to TAKE CONTROL of a a PLANE.
"I will blow the plan up unless the pilot opens the security door, and allows me to fly the plane".
If they wanted to kill people straight up, they would go to Times Square or a parade or somthing. Someplace with alot less police and security than a freaking airport. Hell, Lansdowne st next to Fenway has more people gametime than ANY airport security. It's just a bad target.
They want the plan to crash it into something. As we have seen, that much mass traveling that fast with alot of jet fuel makes a huge mess when it hits something, and there is very little chance of stopping it.
It's the state's fault for not putting that in the contract. I have worked for state contractors who handle IT services, and the state always had a downtime penalty written in to the contract, so it was too expensive to be down not to have a redundant system. This is probably a case of penny pushers not doing their homework, seeing that one system is cheaper than two.
The problem is that all of the media industries concerns are being met, yet consumers are ill represented, which only guarantees we will not abide by their treaty. What about protections for fair use? Or protection against drm locking legitimate customers out? Or how about portability of our files between devices?
We, the consumer, are far ahead of and laws they can legislate. We can break DRM, we can file-share, we can encrypt. They can try and stop us with these three strikes laws and whatnot, but I'll just run down to the library and read a nice book while I download the newest movie. I sure as hell can cover my tracks better than they can uncover.
Respect is a two way street. If they want us to respect their IP, they need to respect us as their consumers.
7. The Bible. Yes, you've heard that right. It sold more copies than all 6 Star Wars episodes and all SW books combined. And if you don't think it has MMO potential, you haven't read it.
This is why I've been pulling back from online banking and other online accounts. It makes no sense to leave half a million dollars sitting on the internet, with nothing to protect it except a password. I moved the money to a different account that can not be accessed unless I physically walk into the bank's building and display photo ID.
If you have half a million just sitting in the bank, your an idiot. Without starting up some sort of flameware about how to invest your money, needless to say just leaving it in a bank is nobodies top option.
Okay. Um, while you were typing that I searched every database in existence and learned every fact about everything. And mastered the violin. Oop, and sold more paper.
Is there a Berentain Bears Learn About not getting overpowered and thrown into a van?
Guess what, children can get overpowered. And I'm not saying sitting there with Google maps open. Hell, my son can get into trouble within 10 feet of me. But, God forbid, someone kidnapps him, I'm on the SOB like the fist of an angry God.
This is like saying vaccines are a bad, because you should learn to avoid sick people. Because unless you are completely out of control watching your kids, parents make mistakes, and people take advantage. So I see nothing wrong with lojacking your kids. Yeah, it could be abused, but better to be safe than sorry
I betcha Jaycee Dugard learned her lesson.
The argument that kids make stupid mistakes to learn from only holds up if the repercussions are not catastropic. Death, sexual assault, ect... don't build character. I don't have a problem with this watch, as long as it was used at tool and not a leash
I like Ubuntu, but to ignore a large percentage(albielt shrinking as linux netbooks gain popularity) is kinda a big deal.
It will be intresting to see if they can get hardware support, or if they will just end up like Transmeta

So wiretapping Cellphones is ok then?

If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate
I'm pretty sure you got it backwards - Chanology started out as a IT attack, then became the protest.

How do you know she didn't open a false ticket to get you to take her trash out? She played you.
What are you's gonna do about it? Send me to grammer jail? Ridicule me on the internet? Pleaze
I find it double-plus good that when the the revolution comes, the grammar nazi's will be the first to go
So what your saying is we need to outsource our cyber-warfare to India?
English grammar obviously was a casualty as well
And of course this gets modded down too. Hey mods, blow me
Needs more PVP. Get a group together and go mess up someone's farm(I'm imaging the scene from Karate Kid 2)

Sodom and Gomorrah could be the central town.
...Or when a asshole who throws one into a fire. Still, worth the risk to run my ipod forever
