So you found two instances disproving the stated weaker (based on the word 'relatively') point, but which directly and strongly enforce the main point of my statement?
Debunk: to expose the sham or falseness of <debunk a legend>
Actually, it occurs to me that foreigners are the best people to do the protesting, because we are relatively untouchable and can't be made to quietly disappear.
There's no dot, but with even a low-powered green laser, you can see the beam reflecting off particles in the air. Imagine pointing at something with a hundred-meter finger.
Also, please explain what said people should have been charged with after trying to crash commercial aircraft by blinding the pilots? How about 150 counts of attempted murder?
How about 'being a bit of a dick, but not really causing any damage... or intending to'
Powderly regularly protests all kinds of oppression, both at home and abroad.
When he protests in the US, people say that there are much worse things going on elsewhere (usually citing China). When he protests in China, the same people say he should to mind his own business.
At least he's doing something, and his sudden disappearance for throwing up a banner with a few lights on it certainly highlights the oppression that we all know exists in China.
Except the information still got out, through several means, got more press attention that it would have received otherwise, and made them look like morons.
They lost the battle, the war, and a fair amount of blood.
The vendor has been selling a flawed system, both in design and implementation. Car manufacturers can't use incompetence as an excuse when their cars explode, and the vendor can't either.
In fact, the vendor has known about the flaws for quite some time, but has not fixed them (nor disclosed them).
It sounds to me like they deserve to be sued for damages.
You're right that we evil hackers are going to find ways around it anyways, but in this case, the vendor is grossly negligent, and the MBTA is trying to blame the people who found the problem, rather than the ones that created it.
My old powerbook used to get them all the time before I upgraded to Leopard. Never did figure out a reliable way to force them, but it often happened when I was borking around with wifi drivers, internal and external cards, and kismac.
I think it's safe to say they are black hats- they're deliberately, maliciously attacking other networks. The distinguishing feature isn't legality, it's the goal of the attacker.
Grey hats generally disregard the laws but don't want to cause harm. Black hats steal credit card numbers, deface servers, and generally bork things up. White hats do the same as black hats, but with the end goal of hardening systems.
Um... Mac still has them, they're just grey screens of death with an apple logo and an even-less-informative error message (in half a dozen languages).
It's not that hard to believe that they used a Windows system to show a video or slideshow or something. Lots of people do that. That's not news.
The fact that Gates happened to be there is no less normal. He's one of the richest guys on earth, newly retired, and there's a big to-do in China. Of course he wants to be there.
No, I'm pretty sure that the act of purchasing illegal drugs, is also illegal, because you are now in possession of said drugs.
Posession and selling illegal drugs are both illegal, but the penalties for selling are a lot more severe, which is why given the choice, the cops would rather bust the guy for the latter.
Undercover cops buy drugs and the state doesn't have to prosecute them for buying them
Those are police officers, working under the supervision of the government in gathering evidence for a criminial trial.
These are private investigators, with already provably questionable tactics and working for a private industry to gather evidence for a civil suit. Different rules certainly apply.

I regularly go on surf trips with some of my less-financially-able friends, and we pack 6+ people into a Motel 6 room. We've never had a problem.
I think you're full of shit.

-1 Troll is 'In force'?
Actually, that sounds about right...
Whooosh....
Kind of ironic that you posted that with the title "Re: Rosa parks"
Um... That's why I said 'relatively', and you supported my claim that they 'can't be made to quietly disappear'
People notice when things like this happen. You can be sure that the citizens' executions don't make it onto YouTube.

Please list the cases where people who tried to blind pilots were tried as terrorists.

I know nothing about this particular person, but search engine hacking is indeed hacking, and you can get some incredible stuff from it.

You figured it out!
Your keen powers of observation astound me.
They're both black hats.
White hats are the guys that do pentesting and hardening of systems.

Lay off the conspiracy theories.
The DNS vuln won a Pwnie last night for 'Most overhyped bug, and /. is still posting non-news about it.
Somebody broke the internet.
Are there still people out there who think that airport security is any more than an annoyance?
Seriously, I know I run with an abnormally well-informed crowd, but they are far beyond ridiculous.
Yeah, but the movies got a few details wrong. The whole 'Judgement day' thing didn't happen over the course of a few days- it took 6-9 months.

Free publicity, more hype.
