Not to mention the great journalistic integrity of the mass media managed to simply say "Well no one should care because it is for catching terrorists" The daily show had a nice montage of the so called journalists not bothering to uncover a real story.
I dont get journalism, their is this prestige of it that people that go into journalism for ala Woodward and Bernstein. But they end up covering "so and so turned 100 today and she has this to say" and "Your house just burned down, your family was murdered, tell us how you feel"
Then this oppurtunity comes along and they do nothing.
When are people gonna start making journalist jokes similar to lawyer jokes. Both professions do have "good people" in it, but many many of them are just hacks and should not be looked up to.
wait, and you didnt have one of those insta restore partitions that would put everything back the way it was, ie when photoshop is upgraded and working, make a new backup. The restore goes and your system is back the way it should be. (data should have been stored on an external drive anyways so nothing would be lost, all settings etc would be retained.
I cant even comprehend putting a machine in use without that anymore. What should have taken 20-30 minutes to fix TOPS (waiting for the copy) turned into a big ordeal.
Not true, a lawyer will represent your claims, as long as he can ethically do so. The arguement can atleast be made ethically that wrong "COULD" have been done. The lawyer would not deny to take a case of this sort base on ethical grounds atleast. Money would be the major factor, but as long as you are willing to pony up cash upfront, many lawyers will take the case.
and of course:
"We would need a doomsday device for that.."

Who said anything about games?
With good 3d drivers available, rendering in the graphics system becomes much better for all OSes. I am trying to find a good 3d video card that has open drivers and the last thing I care about is games. I want XGL etc. Games will probably never ever EVER be played and I am not the only one in this boat.
The internet doesnt need specialized laws, it just needs the already existing laws to be applied.
Fraud is fraud whether it is on the internet (in spam) or in person.
The Internet is not some magical place where laws dont work, they just need to stop being specialized for the internet.
The internet is the mall, laws work there too. Stop making STUPID laws like this bullshit and it wont be a problem.
Your example fails to take into account the simply concept of intent which makes any further discussion rather meaningless.
But lets try anyways.
first you didnt try to crash a server or cause disruptions like this person did. therefore a major element of most criminal law is nonexistant
second, i doubt you would have screwed up soooo badly that it would equate to 5 million emails of traffic in a short amount of time.
if anything they might notice a small problem and investigate it, alert you to knock it the hell off.
It is pretty obvious when a DOS is comming and just a lot of traffic.
A: Varrying levels of spying exist which history definately suports. B: I have not read the follow up book and will have to,
In the past, they could do whatever they wanted whenver they wanted without warrants. Maybe they have to now, maybe they can just get secret warrants (thanks Patriot Act)
And no the lack of a warrant isnt enough to do anything to anyone outside of a low level person losing a job, in reality. Nothing will happen regardless of whether something SHOULD.
For 50G you can get a team of consultants to knock out a product for less than that. A: it wont take the full year, more likely a month maybe 2 depending on the app. B: Most apps really are not that complicated to require that many people for that long.
You are basically saying all apps will require the time period of a year to write and you are hiring that person to write it full time and just one person. It is much easier to come up with the requirements and hire a firm, give them the specs and tell them to call you when it is done.
I know we have gotten many applications done for maybe 10G's tops. You may have examples of super complicated applications, but those are not the standard but rather the exception.
The NSA was never banned from domestic spying. The CIA was. but the NSA was used throughout the 1970's to spy on drug lords becuase they were not limited in wiretapping payphones like everyone else was.
Go read the Puzzle Palace for an interesting history of the NSA. The NSA was always allowd to operate and spy in the USA. It is nothing new.
Actually if the UK pushed the issue they would have been extradited.
Basically, no one wants to do more work than is necessary. if the UK just goes "hey can you send those guys back" the US will be like "No, too much effort"
If it was a real issue and the UK made it clear with diplomacy it was important and with legal filings, they would have been sent back a long time ago.
This issue was apparently important enough (I dont tend to agree but my opinion isnt national policy so whatever). The pressure was brought and most importantly it was followed up, I am willing to bet it took more than a simple request to get this guy to the US.
Um actually extradition exists for a reason.
And he didnt commit his crime in britian, he commited it in Britian AND the United States.
That is the downfall of technology. All this talk of no borders and you can't limit it etc, well guess what, it works both ways.
I think the most interesting and useful application is a combination of: bluetooth headset while driving, and the new head units in cars. Factor models are starting to come with this feature and aftermarket models have been available.
Basically it mutes, or sets the volume 1/10 of the power whenever a call comes in. Most aftermarket models have had a wired in version ATT for a while but that obviousely involved wiring a cradle to the deck. Not nearly as useful as just having a phone be able to signal the device wirelessly to cut the power and then be able to answer with the headset.
Handsfree, and incrediblyless distracting because A: you no longer have to keep an eye on the phone while listening to music, B: no longer have to hold the phone. good combo for being a safer driver and still be reachable.
You realize the red states is where much of the illegal marijauna is grown and used right?
There are very few people that are really against pot anymore. Most either dont care, want it legalized, or want some sort of regulations (to varying degrees). Mostly they care about underage people getting it, which is trivial for them as it is.
It has been a while since someone has said, "marijauna should be illegal becuase it is dangerous and wrong"
Because they dont want to name their product after a condom?
But then again they would have the clear cut case of never crossing market segments becuase the people that are concerned about one will probably not have any use for the other.

Me and most people I know. They may not like windows, but they dont like Mac OSX either.

The patent system isnt for the small inventor and hasnt been for a very long time

Those drivers only work in linux (and possibly FreeBSD).
week. I have a crazy idea. why dont they ban pedophiles from MySpace and leave everyone else the hell alone.
It would be *gasp* legal even.

No, if you are in this country illegally or on a visa you are protected just the same

is it the marklar version of dolphins?
The pot apparently isnt dangerous, HE IS which is made obvious by the comment about driving with open containers.
Unfortunately most people think that legalization also means Walmart selling it to any child with money and not a situation similar to alcohol.
