Indeed. But even storage used by the machine would required some physical presence. Having torn these machine down to almost the bare frame on more than one occasion, if there's a hard drive in there, it's invisible. Maybe some flash memory on the board somewhere, but I doubt it could store more than the last 100 pages or so....
Nearly every digital copier built since 2002 contains a hard drive - like the one on your personal computer - storing an image of every document copied, scanned, or emailed by the machine.
Having worked in the digital industry up until 2007 I can tell you, that is a laughably inaccurate statement.
We had half a dozen industrial-class copiers, all from 2004 or newer. The only one with a 'hard drive' in it was the high end color copier/printer; and we had to specifically add that option. I think it would be accurate to say that nearly all digital copiers might be configured to use a hard drive, though many are external and often separated from the device when it's sold.
Doubtful. It's not like it is on TV. In many vicious custody battles (or any other heated legal conflict) accusations of "being a pedophile" or planting "kiddie porn" (along with many other false accusations) are not that uncommon. Just like anything else, the issues are investigated (usually via search warrant on our computer) and, if found to be fraudulent, dismissed. Nothing even goes to court.
About as dangerous as leaving you phone unattended for as few as 5 minutes. No lives or property would be at stake. What's more, as soon an any investigation started this hack would be detected and the charges dropped.
this bug and vulnerabilities are bad, even severe, but dangerous? I can think of no scenario where lives or property would be at stake. I guess the personal data could be used for something untoward....
How long before Palin comes out against this? I am guessing it would go a little something like: 'Now the 'liberal elites' want us to think that God performs abortions?!'. Then she will follow up with various sentence fragments taken from a 'quote of the day' calendar.
The guy pleads the fifth. No problem. Then grant him immunity from prosecution and take that off the table. Then let the dozens of civil suits eat him alive.

MS has made the cost of using computers so low that only hipsters with loads of discretionary income (or those who want to be perceived as such) will buy anything else. To heck with what's 'better' (Macs) or what's free (Linux). Apple targets the vestiges of the yuppie demo, while MS just churns out Windows for a few bucks per PC (preinstalled, of course...for your convenience, of course).
A recent study said that Apple has 91% of the $1000+ computer market. Among the demographic that equates price tag to quality, that could be getting close to a monopoly. Microsoft has 92.2% of the non-server OS market. Among the demographic that equates familiarity with quality, that could be getting close to a monopoly.
Because nothing that MS has made in the last decade gave the fanboi's hard-ons like Mac products. Go back in time 20 years and IBM was in the role of MS and MS was in the role currently held by Apple. Apple is well on their way to being the Borg.....
Nicotine is not cancer-causing (by current knowledge). It's just an additive narcotic. Much like an opiate. But unlike those, nicotine offers no significant relief of pain. I think any reasonable person would agree that narcotic addition is rarely (if ever) less than fundamentally negative for people and society in general.
Cannot speak for the others, but alcohol is a food, not a narcotic. It is processed by he body and converted to energy. One of the reasons why alcohol addition withdrawal is one of the few that can actually kill you.
So when said person goes to the hospital at 55 with some disease(s) caused by a lifetime of drug addition, and cannot pay the $100K+ to treat them, is that their business too?
I bet if you had included a $100K "donation" to said Critters' "re-election campaign", you would have gotten your H & B in short order. But that is kind of a non-issue since the *AA don't have that kind of cash, right?
That law has nothing to do with this. We are not talking about 'listening in' on anything here. Simply noting a name (i.e. IP address) and time something happened is not, under any law, equivalent to "intentional acquiring, receiving, collecting, overhearing, or recording of an electronic communication, without the consent of the sender or intended".
Otherwise, every visit to any website, anywhere, would be a violation of privacy laws.

Does this still work is they call from out of state? Or if I don't use the 'phone company' or rather Comcast voice?

What if you need to call 911 and you battery is dead? Are dead batteries a danger to lives or property?

...that I never heard of.

I think we have this already. It's called efax.

...not to get an iPhone.
I agree. Unless I (and all other tax-paying citizens) am to pay their medical bills. Which I do. So, yeah....
I have no problem with that. As long as I don't have to pay their medical bills. But of course I do...therein lies the rub.

Really? I have yet to see mentally sound people gleefully allowing themselves to be painfully burned. Maybe the Goth or emo crowd....
