I'm not slightly self-righteous. (so I'll pass on that dildo). However I am selfish. So I'm entirely down with you smoking, drinking, praying & driving, all to excess. Just don't endanger me. Or ask me to subsidize your cancer treatment , or pay for your car wreck.
You're brilliant! So poison the well by grabbing pics of folks that you know - but might not like, or pics of public figures. Put 'them' in gay bars, kkk ralies, with hot girls, etc. Watch hijinks ensue.
Wait. Someone here has to have done this already.
I would have been more impressed if he said "we're considering ways to limit lawlessness without compromising the premise of protection of citizens in dangerous parts of the world"
"Tor can be used for good and for evil. How do you go about attempting to design the features of Tor to maximize one and minimize the other?
Lewman: The Tor network is designed to provide protection online for ordinary citizens, victims of abuse, and individuals in dangerous parts of the world share information over public networks without compromising their anonymity. Most of the people that use Tor have legitimate uses for wanting privacy such as activists or reporters that need to keep their locations private. Criminals can already do bad things and there are certainly lots of options available to them for breaking the laws."
great point. However, bullies don't bully just one. If they went to the suspected source, then they'd have broader evidence. If the parent of the suspected bully was to allow, as they'd not want their kid to bully, that'd be 'ok.'
I say this all noting that this is way over the line of where school can mandate a kid do something. But also noting that - like it or not - you've effectively 'lost' the powers that be at the school. Your ability to ask for a teacher, take the kid out of school early, etc, is shot. That's called 'life.'
In other news, nerds flock to progressive insurance and claim safe driving styles resulting in the lowest possible insurance rates. Progressive in press release say 'we hypothesize it's because nerds don't party or stay out late'
Thanks for taking the time to post this. I'm glad your post was modded up. I have a casual, uneducated interest in things in space, and snippets like this are interesting to me. (unlike a lot of/. posts, I'm not being sarcastic)
guess it's implicit that nerds care about freedoms, given all the blathering about DMCA, and wiretapping, and wikileaks and what's his name in russia and all. Just another 'stuff that matters' , which, IMO, belongs on huffpo, not here.
my gut tells me that there's lots of us out there who miss our bberry keyboard... whilst still loving the apps that android gives us. I'd pay more than what I do for my samsung for a well made, slide up, vertical keyboard and bberry battery life.
if you're replying to me (not sure from the/. nesting):
- my point was that wiretap warrants are issued all the time - a quick google sez there were ~ 22K issued - so why was this one of interest? I was actually wondering what made this/. worthy. An AC posted that it dice acting just like huffpo, finding the buzzwords (wiki leaks) which'd appeal to the/. audience
----- My second point was, that like another poster, this one seems to be done the 'right' way - it's on the books for who did it, why, and can be challenged. Wiretaps, performed legally, *are* part of the law enforcement process.
The thought that a few, decently intelligent , disgruntled *individuals* , coupled with the 'destructive' nature of the attacks I think scares the crap out of govvies. Call it cyber-vandalism, -terrorism, or -war, the act of public destruction and 'outing' is what has made this attack a 'game changer.' State funded threat actors have been spying for years. They've mostly - the stuxnets aside - have stopped short of destruction that they're all capable of, and 'just' xfilled credit cards, or secret formulas.
Think what the Target attackers could have wrought by bricking the POS terminals.
So if you're a govvie, it's natural to presume that a whacky - but funded - state threat actor is behind this, as the thought of a handful of individuals is just too scary.
Do any/. ers know what security product stuff that Sony deployed (which missed all of this )? I'd love to know their host based AV and HIPS, and their network FW, IPS, 'APT ' detectors/protectors.
Mandiants managed defense does this as well. As did the Incident Response actions that any responders do when they try to understand *what* was xfilled.
So, get over it. IBM is just limiting liability.
Great, insightful thinking. Leaves out a few things :
politicians and voters are *from somewhere *. The voters know where to go to vote, the politicians have a somewhat stable territory to run from.
Though the general concept is frigging brilliant.
we should keep all these empty jails scattered around, so the few that survive the plague have a place to defend against the biters. And give us a place from which to create needless drama.
It'd track the hours you spent sitting on your butt on FB, vs actually doing something which would be healthy... And then... Wait for it... not report that to you, as those hours represent revenue $ from ads...
My understanding - perhaps reading on/. - about human caused crashes (Asiana, Air France) was that the plane did so much for the human, that the human was more out of touch with actually *flying.* A cautionary tale if we're thinking of handing over control of cars. Humans will get out of touch. Maybe the right place initially for driverless are paid express lanes with limited entrances and exits, and perhaps solely one lane, making a lot of the scenarios discussed by other posters less likely initially.
what a lot of posters strike me as missing, is that the DEFINITION OF WHATS HEALTHY IS ALREADY MADE, and when you apply for life insurance you AGREE TO SHARE ALL DR RECORDS AND GET RETESTED.
So unless most of you just take the "cover your credit card debt and handle the funeral services" health insurance your company offers, then you've already crossed the 'share lots of specific health info, tied specifically to you' threshold.
As someone who's off the bell curve in terms of body height, I'd welcome a more scientific and data centric definition of stuff like BMI.
what ID challenge the crypto-smart folks on/. , is to come up with a way - or promote if it's already done - to create a way to guarantee authenticity of that the data is as a patient intended to contribute, whilst cryptographically ensure that the contributor is obsfucated.
yes, eighteen thousand. Compare that to the dow, nasdaq and even the much maligned msft. Wow, I sure wish I'd put 1K or 10K into amaz stock and held.
Sure, amaz is off its peak of 20,000 % profit recently, but... so maybe amaz, and the longer term investors really, really do know what they're doing.
For example, the amaz phone? my family members are looking at buying just for the mayday feature. Unlike probably most/. folks, mayday, for the 'rest of them,' is such an amazing feature.
sorry, old school here. But a sport involves the combo of physical exertion, and skill. Skill for gaming ? no doubt gaming requires a huge amount of skill. But physical exertion? come ON.
and no question that gaming is going mainstream, when espn starts covering it...
expecting the mod downs... waiting for em actually...
What's amazing is that the "paper" was a celebration of Monk's already interesting career... upon his supposed retirement age at 65.
So yes for those who critiqued this as a slow news day, and yes for an old paper, and yes for perhaps obvious news.
But how about a celebration of the life of this man, this person, who kept going, starting at 65! I for one hope I could be some small percentage as 'meaningful' for me when I reach the 65 through 95 range!
this is the most sane post on this subject I've seen.
Like the internet, drones are still 'too new' to fall under legislation *which makes sense.* I remember seeing some silly rules regarding early automobiles coming to a cross roads, and the to be crosser having to discharge a weapon to first warn of their impending crossing.
Just being curious, I'm looking for rules for proper operation of a drone. Comparisons to model airplanes, estes rockets, kites and hang gliders come to mind. Surely, just like stealing music from the internet is the same as stealing music from a cd in a store, it'd seem that existing rules on the books could be found? I'm not informed enough to propose a decent solution.
And the comment of another poster about 'oops, sorry that drone got sucked into an engine, they can always turn around on the other one, why'd you want to limit something soooo cools as drones ?' was... immature ?
And, like this poster, the view was, amazingly stunning. Like CGI.

I need to decide if I need to register Republican - I'm neither - to vote against Carly. I'd never thought I'd be happy to vote for Hillary... Wow...
Lame reference. It wasn't close to being an independent review. And I stopped reading well before I found the claim that the charges were created
if we could mod this post to a score of 10, we should. The lack of common sense of the 'professionals' which is just mind boggling.
