Yeah, but assume that I, like any normal computer owner, have several games installed as well as a host of productivity apps and so on.
The games' installations will likely have a lot of really big files. And the files may be in formats which were invented specifically for that game.
How will your function reliably distinguish between a Fallout 3 savegame file (which can balloon to over 1GB!) and a crypted partition file?
Assuming you will do that using headers and program-specific knowledge about Fallout 3, will you do the same for the file formats used by every other game that's ever been published?
1. Invite Japanese ambassador, heads of state to middle of nowhere. 2. Demonstrate nuclear bomb. 3. "Let's end the war before we have to burn silhouettes of your civilians into their local sidewalks." 4. ??? 5. Profit!
Ubiquitous encryption and darknets are gonna make this effect even more pronounced. Insular groups will be able to get more insular, requiring closed circuits of credentials and so on.
But likewise, their grip on their own members must weaken; In 1939, a German youth who doubted what he was being taught, would know better than to ask the important questions or search for validation for his misgivings. But if he were able to talk anonymously and securely on/b/ with some proxies Yer durn tootin' the opposition would have new and powerful ways to associate.
Problem is, someone went and named their damn movement "Modernism" which, given that said movement couldn't remain popular forever, more or less doomed it to inaccuracy (or is that anachron-acy?)
It's not an impersonation because by installing the add-on, the owner of the browser explicitly consents to having his browsing modified in this way.
I dunno if the parody argument is hogwash though. Think about it really hard. Is there anyone who's actually going to have an easier time pirating with this tool than without? Is there anyone in the world who knows how to install a TPB-linked browser addon, but is too dumb to look up a product on TPB themselves?
The point of this addon is clearly that: a) it's cheeky b) it has a clever pop-culture-referential name.
Do you really think that their motive was to make it easier for Amazon users to pirate, rather than to make a point and ruffle some feathers?
I'm not talking about historical revisionism. The original captions are of course an intrinsic part of the primary source documents.
But when images are captioned in documentary stuff, the captions are not, by convention, part of the source itself. They are generally used as a meta-narrative, and so their tone should reflect that.
The original captions themselves certainly belong with the picture (perhaps they are part of the picture) but in secondary and tertiary documents, they ought to be inside the picture frame rather than underneath it. They are pieces of history, but they aren't "captions" anymore.
I know when I read a modern encyclopedia, I expect to see captions like A Rumanian Jew and his family, 1938, pictured mid-scheme. In the glistening of his eyes is discernible a vile contempt for the purity and virtue of the German nation.
No. You're not required to do any of those things. Personal use is utterly unrestricted. If you wish to share or redistribute the image or a derivative, then you do so under the terms of the license.
But the terms of that license are way looser than most Free Software licenses.

Even if you win, you're still a troll?
"illegal material" is too broad. PC is just fine.

That hasKnownSignature() function will be a bitch to implement.
Just how many file formats do you plan on documenting exhaustively?
To my knowledge, they're not required to if they're conducting a search under a warrant.
And to my knowledge, in the US search warrants usually have to specify what in particular they're looking for and where they're looking.
When in your life have you EVER seen something fall at free fall speed?
Actually, pretty much every time an aeroplane noses down. Those jets work a little faster than gravity, don'cha know.
I don't mind fluff stories.
I like them.
Is it too much to ask that they be fluff and good?
Funny how the same people oppose abortion and sex-ed.
Apparently their plan is to convince the entire world to stop having sex for fun. I don't see how they could possibly fail!
You guys are total fuckwad assholes.

Even Idle ought to be for idle nerds.
Do you really think that, somehow, the hardware in a laptop deteriorates and gets less reliable with age?
Not to be condescending or anything, but... yeah. You may notice the same thing happens with cars.
Can I suggest an alternative course of action?
1. Invite Japanese ambassador, heads of state to middle of nowhere.
2. Demonstrate nuclear bomb.
3. "Let's end the war before we have to burn silhouettes of your civilians into their local sidewalks."
4. ???
5. Profit!
Um, basically none. Have you ever tried using pirated content on a DS?
It's easier than easy.
Has anyone noticed that Slashdot's audio CAPTCHA actually comes out and SPELLS the word for you, rather than just saying it?
Show some respect. Idle is helping to protect you from Hitler.

I guess I'm saying you got the nail on the head.
Isn't rousing rabble on Slashdot a way of "creating noise"?
How's that radically deregulated market workin' out for you 'Merrkins? Fundamentals still strong I hear?
No, but the telcos have and some of them turned into ISPs too.
Problem is, someone went and named their damn movement "Modernism" which, given that said movement couldn't remain popular forever, more or less doomed it to inaccuracy (or is that anachron-acy?)
You are totally, 100% right, and I vow to only ever produce artistic chaos with people's informed consent from now on.
