People go to great lengths to post everything conceivable about themselves on facebook or other sites these days. Pictures of folks breaking laws are as hard to find as porn. Occasionally you hear of attempts at prosecution for these self incriminatory, self published bits of evidence of illegal activity, but mostly you see under-age kids drinking and taking drugs and nothing is done.
Nothing.
So, you think it's "shortsighted and borderline insane" to believe no-one cares? There's no evidence that there should be a reason to care.
There hasn't been any indications that information gained by illegal surveillance has been used in an attempt to prosecute someone. Without that, any claim of illegal surveillance fails to incite anyone. As a matter of fact, using illegally obtained evidence is specifically prohibited from being used, so our rights are preserved.
Just because a tree COULD fall in the woods doesn't mean folks should go around holding their hands over their ears to prevent themselves from hearing it.
It doesn't take knowledge of technology to represent your constituency so I have NO idea why you feel "academic expertise" is relevant. There are technical advisers for that sort of thing, and it's the people skills to select a knowledgeable and honest adviser that are the skills needed to hold political office.
Honesty isn't We have enough folks that engage in "dialogical engagement with other experts" and the greatest contribution that provides is hot carbon dioxide - and this is something you feel we need more of?
I'll tell you what - YOU vote for Lessig... oh, wait! You're not eligible!
Oh, I don't define what "odd" is, because I've not stood on security watch at an airport checkpoint. I am quite comfortable with letting those that are on those checkpoints decide based on their observations.
Anxiety, neurobiological behaviorisms, etc - these can be innocent or they can be indicative of someone presenting a threat. There's no room to give people a free pass and there's no foul in checking someone and finding that there's no reason to worry.
That's where the tinfoil comes in. Searching someone and finding nothing isn't a bad thing. There's no reason to insist on "probable cause" for search 'cause there's no reasonable expectation of privacy when you go through a security checkpoint. In fact, there's a quite reasonable expectation of being searched.
I WANT the airport security looking for people acting odd. There's only so many ways someone can put themselves into a position where they can injure or kill the other passengers on a plane and having security folks check for people acting odd seems to be an obvious procedure to follow. Someone acting nervous needs to get greater scrutiny. Profile all you want 'cause I'm thinking a blue haired Grandma ain't the best candidate for security to detain and search.
Then again, I don't insist on wearing tinfoil hats. I WANT bad guys doing bad things caught. I guess I'm in the minority here on/.
Asks an honest question? He wants to populate a mobo with greater than 8 GB of RAM and wants to go "cheap"? An honest question would be to ask how to maximize his value while performing the task he then explains. Considering what he wants to do and how he's thinking about doing it, I'm guessing he's a college kid with a tech fantasy.
You lost credibility when you mentioned that Disk Utility can't repair permissions.
I'm guessing that you have almost 0 UNIX skills, are trying to run older software without testing it or upgrading to the "Leopard" release version, and don't have a clue about Java, since "No java 6 yet" isn't true at all. There is a development version available on Apple's developers site - "Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 6 delivers improved reliability and compatibility for Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0 and Java 1.4 on Mac OS X 10.4.10 and later. This release updates J2SE 5.0 to version 1.5.0_13 and Java 1.4 to version 1.4.2_16."
It doesn't surprise me that you have problems. I guess you lose at UNIX.
It's in the same location as the proof of your assertions...
I'm running the same system described in the topic of this thread, I run Boot Camp, and I haven't any problems at all.
By the way, I can boot in 17 seconds from power on to open browser. If Microsoft could do that and have zero threat of virii, I'd be running MS operating systems. Heck, if Linux could run the software I use I'd use that. Too bad it doesn't, but hey, there it is.
Not when I have an identical system, with Boot Camp installed, and I don't have a problem.

You won't get it, but heck, if you're dumb enough to entertain the possibility then you shouldn't be playing WoW anyway. I bet you play a Tauren hunter, am I right?
For my 17" MBP I use a 1' X 2' pine board, oiled finish (do NOT use any poly or shellac, it'll pull the foot pads off your laptop). This gives just enough space for a mousepad next to the laptop.
I guess we're not "Home of the brave" then, either. Given your exame, we're the "home of those who over-exaggerate"
I guess you and an idiot aren't really that different. And.. "to be fair"?!? You stretch reality to include US, China and the Soviet Union in the same class when talking freedom and privacy?
The documents maintain that Nacchio met with top government officials, including President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and then-National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice in 2000 and early 2001 to discuss how to protect the government's communications network.
...put your money where you mouth is. Send her some money. Help her pay her fine.
You bitch about the injustice from the sidelines knowing (in many cases) that you've done the same thing yourselves. Put up or shut up. "It's not fair!" is a childish rant.
I have an addition: You have the right to refuse to contract AT&T for services.
That about does it, don't you think?
It's AT&T's network. If you want to use it, follow their rules. If instead you want 100% freedom from those oppressive rules, why, just don't use their network. Screw them! Let your wallet do your talking for you!
I don't mind it when your wallet speaks for you 'cause it doesn't have that whiny, high pitched tone.
What, we should invest in Apple so it doesn't have to try to make money?
If the phone would have been a flop, Apple would have been the only one holding the bag. Unless you suggest we all pay for a phone whether we need it or not, then STFU when a company makes something everyone wants.

What have you done for freedom today except post expletives and blame outgoing administration?
What are the global temp measurements for Jan 2007 to Jan 2008?
You talk a good game, but the data collected over the last year seems to disagree with your computer prediction. I'd say you need new models.
