The moment I have to pay sales tax on {stuff I get from Amazon} is the moment I stop being an Amazon customer - over 90% of my online purchases are with Amazon, and its not just the usual stuff that people buy online - I buy the sort of stuff that people would buy at walmart (soap, deodorant, batteries and other household goods at Amazon so I don't have to pay sales tax
So this is your confession that you are committing tax fraud? Or do you actually pay the associated "use" tax that your state charges and you are just playing word games.
They need access to GPS data, but this can probably accommodated with special hardware that does its best to ensure only GPS data is passed in.
What happens when someone hacks the GPS data that the car is receiving and tells it that the car is 20 feet right of where it really is? The car will of course automatically adjust course by moving 20 feet left into oncoming traffic.
Good luck taking down an armed military with your plinkers, if they actually WANT to get rid of you. Or they could, you know, keep doing the slow-boil that they've been doing for years. That seems to be working pretty well - as you already note yourself. Why fight them when you can just make them agree with you?
The question becomes whether the members of the US armed forces are actually willing to turn their weapons on their neighbors, coworkers or friends? It's one thing to be deployed to a different country in a distant land against a population that differs from you in ethnicity, beliefs, etc. The brainwashing needed there is fairly low level, of the patriotic sort. To view large groups of people from your own country, your own neighborhood, your own church as a mortal enemy that needs to die takes things to a whole different level.
I wonder why oral exams aren't more common in the United States. When I came to do graduate studies in Europe, they really forced me to shape up and learn my stuff. Not only do they make cheating impossible, but when you are judged on how fast you provide the answer, you also internalize it better.
Because giving hundreds of students oral exams would require effort on the part of the faculty and they believe that they have better things to do.
This. Quit using the onboard camera mic for what is supposed to be a semi-professional interview. On the plus side at least it doesn't look like it was shot with a cell phone.
Consumers in ten states (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma, Texas) won't be affected, since laws in those states forbid the practice (it seems that gasoline station owners here in Massachusetts got a different memo, though).
Visa/MC contracts still state that merchants have to have the same policy across their business. For larger chains that have a retail presence in these ten states, the prohibition on surcharging there means no surcharging anywhere else either.
Visa and MasterCard have rules that require retailers to handle credit cards the same way in all of their stores across the country. That means a chain with stores in any of the 10 states where a surcharge is banned would not be able to have a surcharge at any of its stores.
The settlement also states that merchants have to apply the same policy equally to their other cards that they accept, such as AMEX or Discover. Since AMEX still prohibits surcharging, if a merchant accepts AMEX they cannot surcharge for credit cards.
The National Retail Federation points out that under terms of the settlement, a merchant who adds a surcharge to purchases on a Visa or MasterCard would have to do the same with American Express cards. But AMEX prohibits surcharge fees. So a merchant who accepts American Express as well as Visa/MasterCard would not be able to surcharge any of those cards.
The first thing you learn is that your private SSH keys are sacrosanct. Most developers seems to just go through a howto on how to generate a SSH key and don't think about anything after that. They're probably all using node.js or something.........
Followed by going through the git howto that tells them to git init git add. git commit -m "Initial Commit"
If you have a gun and ammo, and want to commit suicide, then fine, go ahead, there's nothing stopping you. But no one, including the government, is obliged to make sure you have access to a gun, in order that you can take that course of action. It's not a right.
The government is obliged to make sure that it doesn't prevent you from having access to a gun. That would be the second amendment to the Constitution.
And here I thought people bought guns to protect themselves against crime. I guess there are many things I still don't understand about guns.
There are arguments for both directions in this. Some people will argue that because guns are a high value commodity on the black market, they are a lucrative target for theft. Others will argue that there is an increased risk of getting injured or killed in an attempt to rob these homes.
The summary makes it sound like Gawker had a choice when it didn't publish the addresses of gun owners.
In a similar move, Gawker published the names of licensed gun owners in New York City without addresses
The only reason John Cook didn't publish them is because the NYPD didn't give them to him.. John Cook made it pretty clear that he would have published the addresses if he had them.
Because the NYPD is more interested in raping and/or eating ladies and spying on Muslims than it is in honoring public records law, the list contains only the names, and not the addresses, of the licensees.
Lala was not the threat. The threat was that Google would acquire Lala and in turn would combine it with their position in the search engine realm. That was the threat and Apple paid the price to keep Lala out of Google's hands. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if Google hadn't tried to lowball them and had bought Lala at the time.
That is incorrect. Personal ownership of both semi-automatic and automatic weapons is perfectly legal in the United States, provided that the proper licenses are obtained and the proper taxes are paid. It's mostly a question of doing the paperwork and paying the money. The same thing goes for suppressors. A private citizen can buy and fit a suppressor onto a firearm legally as long as he has done the paperwork and paid the taxes.
I should further qualify this by saying that this only applies to automatic weapons that were manufactured and legally registered before 1986. The Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 had a clause inserted in the last hour that banned the possession or sale of machine guns manufactured after May of 1986 to civilians.
This is true, but it's akin to the media's often intentional misuse or misleading use of the terms "automatic" and "semi-automatic". One of them has been illegal since the 1930s, the other describes just about every sort of firearm sold today beyond a few common exceptions.

Many router exploits use a web browser exploit to attempt default passwords on routers from the LAN side. This exploit is another way into a router from the WAN through a user PC
From all appearances though this would require not only a web browser exploit but also remote code execution on a PC inside the LAN. At that point they are already quite a ways down the road to fscked anyway.

it isn't exactly free to have a bunch of cops go around swabbing at evidence, a judge, some lawyers, a jury, etc.
I'm going to guess that neither the judge, the lawyers, nor the jury were exactly thrilled about being swabbed either.

No doubt some TSA officials are investors in Rapiscan. So there's no way that company will be taking a loss on these things.
Now we just need a way to check whether this is true or not.

In this particular situation, you only have one company to hold accountable.
Good. I'm a big fan of the "one throat to choke" approach.

The government needs to dump what they've got and start from scratch. But all I can say is good luck.
You started out well but then I realized you were just talking about the IT stuff.
Those agents are all background checked, mentally evaluated, and properly trained.
So does that mean that they know to wear condoms when fucking prostitutes during their down time?
Get a better mic timmy.
This. Quit using the onboard camera mic for what is supposed to be a semi-professional interview. On the plus side at least it doesn't look like it was shot with a cell phone.
The problems with federal prosecutor over reach has been a problem for decades,
Having dealt with prosecutors on many different levels over the years, I can assure you that this is by no means limited to the federal level.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. My question is why they're storing their home dir on a *public* git repo...
Because it's only free if it's a public repository.
It is far from random.
Generally speaking so is /dev/random

The argument is that the regulations would reduce the body count at the end of the day.
Please provide compelling evidence that this would be true. Your personal pinion does not count as evidence either.
