And that is a valid defense. But it doesn't change the fact the evidence is admissable, and then the police have a responsibility to check with your isp to confirm you go the kiddie porn.
While I'm generally an advocate for privacy, this is diffrent. Clearly these techs were looking for things they really shouldn't have been, but if you drop your computer off with anyone, if it's unencrypted, it's public. The law (as I know it) really is only concerned when a organization is acting as an agent for the police. Clearly, they were not, and the information was (inadvertantly) given freely to the techs, so just because it was on a computer doesn't mean that it's any diffrent that any other piece of evidence
While many other bastions of Geekiness has become more trendy as technology has been absorbed by society(ex: Radio Shack) or eaten up by box stores(ex Computer Stores), the comic book store remains as one single place that is universally recognized as "Geeky".
Go back ~100 years, and dumbshits like this Sony retard were "protesting" and trying to lobby Congress to forbid municipalities from keeping lending libraries (you know, the public library system we all have the right to use for free) because it would "impede sales if people could simply borrow the book instead."
Sorry for going off topic. Anyway, this guys is entitled to his opinion. And if I worked for a major distribution house, I would probably fear what the Internet is doing to my business model. But that cat is out of the bag. Trying to legislate that genie back into the bottle will, as the RIAA is finding out, only dilutes IP crime and forces the IP companies to fork out mega dollars to fight a losing battle.
If they only focused as much energy into finding and developing new talent and material instead of fighting over the scraps of a dying business model, they would be so better off.
No Nobel, but the cake is delicious. There is even going to be a party for you. A big party, that all your friends are invited to. I invited your best friend, the Companion Cube. Of course, he couldn't come because you murdered him.
GWB>The Heliosheath protects us from the illegal Mexican solar winds trying to enter our solar system and get jobs. I had Rummy, therefore, implement Operation: Termination Shock an Awe. Al Quaida, those bastards, are using the CMB to send funds to sleeper cells in Blue states through Swiss banks and the New York Times. All of this revoles around Iran trying to spread Islam to Aliens so they can blow up our volcanos to trap thetans, or at least thats what Tom Cruise tells me. Hence, Axis of Evil.
I'm sorry, but it still seems like someone was trying to make the name fit. I hate it when scientist get political. We should try and keep science out of the shitfest that is politics. I mean, now if this needs funding, and could revolutionize the way we see the universe, some republican might fight it purely cause they don't like the name. And in 60-70 years, it's going to sound as stupid as the Department of Homeland Security(ye-haw!).
Why did they call it the Axis of Evil? I mean, I get that the pattern disrupts the CMB radiation, but it seems to be kinda a strech to go to Axis of Evil. I mean, if you that into getting a dig on the former administration, why not just call it the Cheney effect or Haliburtonisis
Is anyone else sick of people calling these RC vehicles robots? When I hear robotic I think of a complex machince, not a RC car with a M-249 on it(although that is pretty sweet). I mean, we have reporters talking about robotic ethics when the vehicles make no independant decisions. Until these vehicles have the ability to make independant decisions(like the X-47) , lets nix the robot talk.
After all the reviews I guess maybe my expectations were too high, but personally I thought this movie was actually pretty cheesy.
Ummm, have you ever watched Star Trek before?
The whole series of coincidences and bad acting starting with meeting Spock on the planet's surface was just ridiculous.
Have you ever...
Also, if you have this "red matter" that can create a black hole, why bother to drill to the center of the planet? Hell, you could drop off a black hole around Pluto and still easily destroy the Earth depending on it's size, but at the very least just putting it right next to the Earth would certainly do the job
Hell, create some content(fart into a mike for all I care). Then you can file the complaint yourself. The point is that if this passes, anyone with a wireless connection can be screwed.
Ok, is it just me, but wouldn't it be easier to just cut the spine off the book instead of developing a whole new way of scanning it? I could understand for old/valuable books, but it seems to me to be a bit of overkill.
First off, I saw Jurrasic Park. Totally doable.
Secondly, why would you want to have like 1000s of Jesi running around, doing tech support. Bet they could fix WindowsMe and remove the shutdown limitation of Windows 7 with just a touch.
I would guess that the line is somthing a judge would have to draw on a case by case basis. Think of how they would handle it if it was a real life officer watching you. Unless you make a complaint, there is little oversight, and even if you do, if they have a a reason to follow you, they are going to get alot of lattitude. It's somthing that would require internal affairs to monitor I guess.
I know I'm going to voice an unpopular opinion, but these are public places, you have no expectation of privacy. How is this different from having a police office standing there? I know, the evil government will track you, so they know everything you do, right? Guess what, your not that important. The government doesn't care that you stood in line for 3 hours for Star Trek.

Ricardo Montalbán did hail from Mexico, died, and like a month later, bam, h1n1! Swine flu should be renamed "The Wrath of Khan"!

If your pro-bono, wouldn't that make you Anti-tree?
B. (Having insight) But this is like insurance, right? If we keep people out of the network, we don't get anything for those dollars.
..Much like a roof is insurance against weather. Because it will rain one day.
2/5ths of Americans can't see their own toes.
...or find the US on a world map

But, this is TV, it's not like reality.
Why would you need this? And how is this better than a RNG?

I wonder what would have happened if Sony was around 2000 years ago and enforced a copyright on the bible. The Bible© by God(kinda). Would the world be a better or worse place without the Bibles influence?

I wonder how secure the home wireless routers are for those running the RIAA and MPAA. I bet they aren't secure enough.

First off, I saw Jurrasic Park. Totally doable. Secondly, why would you want to have like 1000s of Jesi running around, doing tech support. Bet they could fix WindowsMe and remove the shutdown limitation of Windows 7 with just a touch.
They should wait a month or so then. They could pickup GM for a copy of Vista and a unlimited refils from the Redmond soda fountain
They are going to clone Jesus
