Here they are saying that he has files that they know nothing about. Because those files are unknown, he is protected from having to provide them.
That's not what they're saying. In the article they explain that when they initially arrested him they viewed child porn on his computer and he confessed to transporting it. But then they closed his laptop and when they opened it again some days later to examine the evidence in more detail, the drive was encrypted because he had a timeout system that automatically encrypted the drive after a set period of time. So they KNOW that there's child porn on the system and that he was transporting it. If you ask me he's obstructing justice. Of course, nobody's asking me...
I dunno, I think if they modulated the laser to the harmonic frequency of dilithium they could route the message through a subspace channel on a tachyon carrier wave. This is pretty elementary stuff.
Speed limit laws need to be made unprofitable for the government and then maybe we can get our freedom back on the roads.
What the hell does this mean? You want no speed limits?
I, for one, am glad that asshat speeders like this get tickets for speeding. Assuming the radar gun is correct, 62 in a 45 is totally unacceptable. The kid should have his license revoked. Even his parents admit he has a leadfoot. And his dad is a fucken cop. WTF..
That's exactly why this should not be allowed. Or I could hack my speedometer to always read 25 and keep a video camera in the car. "See, I was only going 25!" People are asshats and will do anything to get out of speeding tickets.
What I don't understand is how this kid is explaining the discrepancy between his GPS and the radar gun? The radar says he was going 62, but he claims he was going 45? How would that happen? That's a big difference when you consider the accuracy of radar guns. I'm not saying they're infallible but they definitely have a proven track record compared to GPS.
If you had to choose one existing controller to use for everything for the rest of time, what would you choose? I'd probably choose a mouse too. That makes it the best. Doesn't mean I wouldn't choose a joystick for GTA or a Wiimote for Monkey Ball if I had the option, but if all I had was one thing I would want a mouse.
well i reckon if i ran a business where people knocked on my door and asked me where to buy some cocaine, and i told them which address and what time to go to, and they gave me $1 for my time, then I'd be in a cell right away
Why do you reckon this? Just because you assume something is illegal does not make it so. If I knew the guy down the street was a coke dealer and someone asked me who the coke dealers in my neighborhood are, exactly why should it be illegal for me to tell them, and take $1 for my time?
It's specifically because the Founders wanted a last-ditch mechanism for common citizens to protect each other if all three branches of government are operating out of the bounds of common sense.
The only problem with this is that once all three branches go out of bounds, there won't be any trials to begin with. Your right to bear arms is the only truly last-ditch mechanism to keep the government in check if all three branches are corrupted. That's why the 2nd amendment is probably the most important article in the entire constitution. Not that jury nullification isn't an important right -- it is -- but it depends on at least one of the branches not being corrupted.
Now suppose that current generation of graphics is 100, and it grows at a rate of 2 per year. Ya... Ok, not going to be worrying about that any time soon.
That's a very narrow view of the situation. You need to worry about this all the time. What if I can use a linear algorithm and draw 20 AwesomeThing's instead of 10 AwesomeThings? It may not be a HUGE difference, but it's more, and more is better, especially to marketing people and execs.
Give me your address. I've been looking for a new venue for my official Trash-Can-Lid-Banging political assemblies where we demonstrate against the complacency of America by making as much noise as possible. I think your neighborhood would make an excellent location. We hold our public assemblies at 2am every morning. Thanks!

How would you know they were glitches?
What if I removed a few stop signs around town with the intention of having some fun and showing off?

Can? Yes. Lose? Who knows.
You mean the new, genetically engineered, cloned, fluorescent, giant sharks.
I don't think he was commenting on the storage density, just the fact that it was a lot harder to lug around a 350 on your keychain.
That was a very insightful post. What are you doing on Slashdot?
What I'd like to see is an essay on ladies who always say "Yes" and more importantly, where to find them...
If nothing else, it's got a pretty cool name.

She will still end up paying $50k in legal fees, even if she wins an appeal. Just another reason to never do business with any RIAA entity ever again.
Oh, they meant Cadmium, not Compact Disc
Almost everyone I know is using a 3rd-party multi-protocol app like Trillian or Gaim
Do you know any soccer moms from rural Nebraska?
I hope the counselor earned a badge for digging yourself out of a 10ft deep shithole. He's gonna need it.

But which came first, the velociraptor or the egg?
There is no "special" Constitution outlining the powers of the government with respect to non-citizens.
That you know about...
I don't think they were arresting him at first, just removing him from the building. I think he earned the actual arrest later on by resisting.
