Given how much I liked most of the books I *have* read on the list, it makes me feel good about reading a lot of the others. I see it not as a way to find what I like, but rather to find new things to like.
Unconstitutional searches can be done with nothing more than one's eyes, or by breaking in a door and searching using a sledgehammer and searching. It's not the technology that makes a search bad, it's the people that are doing it and their willingness to disregard the fourth amendment.
It seems like something that could be extremely useful for scouting a room in a hostage rescue situation: you know the bad guys are in this room, but you want more info on where. Of course, they could probably use a fiber optic camera for that in most cases.
I'm far more frustrated by the fact that I cannot find a way to install GWT 2.3 (Google Web Toolkit) from their website, nor from their Eclipse plugin repository. It all wants to install only the latest version, and there isn't a browsable FTP folder for backwards support anywhere. This is really troublesome when installing GWT on a new development machine, or on someone's machine that hasn't needed it installed until now, when there's a deliverable due soon.
I can get like 85 past versions of Putty, but if I need to maintain a consistent version of my main development library, I'm screwed. Thanks, Google. I really hope that Android SDKs aren't this hard to get a hold of.
Man, Jack's hard-core. I usually just offer the 5 year old a soda or something to tell me where they've hid my keys. Terrorist intestines seems a little overkill!
If he can log in w/ logmein, could he set up some port forwarding or something to let him run X remotely, so that the theif never sees the GUI for installing Prey? (I have no idea what you can do on a Mac.)
Go back to school, pursue a different degree. Become a chef, or a lawyer, or a psychiatrist, or volunteer to help build houses. Build and fly (model?) airplanes. There's a ton of things you could do to not be bored.
Why be so messy? Why not simply open high-risk hobby businesses? I mean, would you rather kill yourself with a handgun or with a freefall from outer space? Not to mention that landing in the ocean would make cleanup easier.
I don't think that you can use bankruptcy to avoid paying legal judgements. That is to say (IANAL), I don't think you can in the US, and don't believe you can in other countries either. I expect a bankruptcy would still leave him saddled with many years of garnished wages, if anything.
However, the US (or anyone) waltzing into Cambodia and Doing What They Want makes the world take notice, as then all of their neighbors (or anyone without a nuke program?) wonders what will happen if someone decides to hide in THEIR country. I imagine it'd make a poor diplomatic impression on our friends (or Sweden's friends, in this case) if one were to act in a manner which pretty much explicitly says "We don't care about your sovereignty". We caught flak for that when taking out Bin Laden, and justified it with him being a high-level terrorist; I don't see the same sort of justification being usable for grabbing Mr. Svartholm, should he ever be found.
The point was that the local thugs are likely to have More Guns (and come expecting resistance) than Mr. Svartholm (or any of us) -- unless we were to also spend Large Money on maintaining our own private security force. They also have a more extensive foothold in the area (informants, blackmail on local people) than we would which would make it easier for them to get cheaper mercenaries than we can, I expect. Even then, it's still only a cost/benefit analysis away from some local warlord saying, "Hmm, his bounty is X, and it costs me half-X to collect it? OK!"
Hey, as long as you feel happy and fulfilled, it doesn't matter to us (me?) whether you choose to seek companionship or not. May your life always be both satisfying and interesting.
It's especially interesting to me as a developer (not at Google). Looking at the huge amount of infrastructure that he says Amazon had to develop to do a SOA across the board, I am simultaneously in awe and completely daunted by the scale of the effort needed to do something like that. It sounds... massive.
Every job you take is an opportunity to build your skillsets and improve your career, and I find it unlikely that this job is the best place to do either
As someone else mentioned, that's an even better reason to push for improvements. It might not be the best place to stretch in a technological sense, but it seems like it would be great to have on your resume that you helped improve the process, reduced software errors, and helped make the team more competitive.
No. Disobeying unconstitutional or unjust laws is an act of civil disobedience: you do the crime, you then either accept the punishment or fight it in the courts. As the anonymous sibling said, "only if you have more firepower" - but I'd instead say it's more about if you have lawyers and money.
At the risk of feeding a troll, how is open carry being "an antisocial asshat", any more than carrying a walking stick, cane, or knife is? Carrying a weapon is not saying "I will shoot you" in a crowded area - that's why it's in a holster. Law enforcement officers do it all the time too, and people don't freak out. Your fear should not be sufficient reason to take away their rights to bear weapons (arms). People spent more than a hundred years in our country carrying weapons openly, and managed not to make it an implicit threat.
For what it's worth, I don't even own a gun, and don't plan to soon. I don't feel a need to carry a weapon (concealed or openly), thank goodness, but I feel offended that people like you (apparently) are so afraid of a weapon that they'll infringe our rights. By the way, the people that are actually a danger are going to flout the laws either way, and are unlikely to go on a shooting spree with merely a handgun. The people who are practicing/advocating open (or concealed) carry are generally not the sort who are prone to do such a thing.
On the other hand, compassion is free, and compassionate people realize that some sales drones might be there due to hard times, and might be treating you in the sales-drone-fashion that they do because they fear their managers more than they fear your opinion of them.
the Jevons paradox (sometimes Jevons effect) is the proposition that technological progress that increases the efficiency with which a resource is used tends to increase (rather than decrease) the rate of consumption of that resource.

the technology is not to blame
So true.

Her lawyer pointed out the same: it's not breach of contract. So, instead, they seem to have cancelled her novel contract w/ them out of spite.

Thanks - I hope that gets modded up. I'd never heard of Aubrey de Gray, and the wiki page was interesting.

It might be better to just buy more of those specific pieces from Lego directly.

How is it even safe to live barefoot? I wouldn't want to touch many of the surfaces I encounter in every day life with a bare foot.

They can ask you to leave, but they don't get to do the search. (Unless, I bet, you're in the UK?)
Encryption does very little when they wanted to know info in the (unencrypted) headers: who he was talking to, and where/when.
