There is a reason why Ballmer and Jobs don't seem to flinch whatever you throw at them in an interview (and I've seen some doozies thrown at Ballmer) and that is because they are
...sociopaths? This guy might be the rare normal CEO, displaying guilt when appropriate (why react so strongly if not feeling emotion?).
if you can prove how you voted, the authorities can prove you sold your vote
If you can prove potential for X, authorities can prove X?
but if you can't, then it works like this: you get offered $X if candidate Y wins, and $0 if not. The only way to help ensure he wins is to vote for him. Maybe even campaign for him. Sure there will be turncoats, but almost everyone who wants the money will help make sure the outcome is as purchased. and if the guy loses, there's no expense to the person buying the votes. so it's the ideal setup for him, too.
Yes, this works. You just described entitlement/subsidy politics.
If you can prove how you voted, you can sell your vote. Plus, people are attacked for political beliefs in the most civilized countries. Don't let fantasy dictate cautionary measures.
I know parent is a troll since everyone knows this, but as long as an exploit is made available before the developer knew (or disclosed they knew) about the vulnerability, the exploit is referred to until the end of time as a zero-day exploit. It successfully attacked 0 or more days before work on a patch started. George Washington didn't stop being the first President of the United States when he stepped out of office, he stopped being the current president.
Plus, like sibling says, because of my "right" (mandate/imperative) to be educated, someone else might have to be enslaved into the position of teaching me. We're lucky that there are currently teachers who enjoy teaching so they don't get a "right" to be forced into teaching me.
That sounds nice. No one can tell me I can't have an education.
Elementary education shall be compulsory.
So I have no right to not be educated? Then point one isn't about a right to be educated, it's about a right to be forced to be educated, and I may not waive the right. Right?
Unfortunately, no. Our government gave them money, and with that money they created the infrastructure. We can't go into someone's house and claim the stuff in the fridge is public property because foodstamps paid for it. Our government was stupid enough to gift the money. The only way we get the property (infrastructure) is to claim eminent domain (for which the companies receive fair market value).
the Constitution. It explicitly states that any rights not granted to the Federal government or to the States are reserved to the people. If Internet access were a right, we would have a Constitutional guarantee to that right.
If X were a right, we would have a Constitutional guarantee to that right?
Pray tell, what does "any rights not granted to the Federal government or to the States are reserved to the people" mean?
mod_security is pretty handy at spotting crawler patterns (you have to be a really weird human or a well designed crawler to look like something you're not).
Since email travels in the clear (mostly) and when you use a cloud service you are giving the information to an untrusted third party, the courts hold that you do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
*we*, the geeks, don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy, but ordinary folk should. They become very surprised when they find out their emails are more public than a land-line telephone conversation.
I had an out-of-state police dept. gain access to my Gmail account for a joke email I forwarded to somebody who requested it. The intended recipient provided me the wrong email address (off by one letter) and it ended up in the wrong mailbox. It was not threatening/sick/graphic, yet they were able to access my account and locate me by phone.
That's actually really creepy, more so since the email was just a joke email.
I always stick to the "email is not secure" motto. Encrypt something that needs to be protected. If the person doesn't screw around with e-mail encryption (let's be honest, it's not easy and most people would give up on it; they don't think there is a need), then I'll at least use an encrypted zip/rar file and stick it in my public dropbox. They can get it there.
"We received a complaint about you sending a gibberish email to the victim, so we accessed your gmail account and found all of your emails are encrypted. Just what are you hiding, jonamous++?"
Just imagine all the spam that gets sent with real people's email addresses as the sender; that potentially justifies a warrant for your email provider now?
But if you can be assured that everything you know up to this point is backed up, why not go on a suicide run to ensure that the backup is safer/better off? It's the whole basis behind computer game tactics. In FPS team games, people go on suicide runs all the time, because there's usually no penalty to dying (beyond a 15 second respawn time). If I'm a clone/backup, I likely agree with the original's reasoning for creating me.
Castle and Subway Commercial - oops, I mean Chuck - are getting a little long in the tooth, and V is probably one of the shows ABC has a defined end for (they're good at that, Lost notwithstanding). It's getting more plausible as time progresses.
Looking back at Iran-Contra, what landed Reagan Administration officials in hot water was that the IBM Profs system email archives weren't purged, and provided a trail of authentication and non-repudiation for investigators. I have reason to doubt Mr. Ceglia is going to get a similar degree of audit-ability.
Son, Iran Contra was about politics. This case is about Facebook! Real Power! If there isn't an audit trail, one will be made.
Get ready, folks: Another dot com bubble is going to burst soon. Same price for brick and morter widget versus internet widget? I'll buy the one I can see and get immediately, thank you. Sure, online stores will still be useful for the stuff you can't find close by, but online sales will dramatically decline. People will lose jobs, and the economy will lose flexibility.
Does anyone else remember being annoyed with Gene Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict, when the main character, Boone died? I gave up watching the rest of the series because of it, but caught a later episode where Boone was apparently a reanimated corpse servant on a Taelon ship.
Three words for an awesome TV show:
Forever
Knight
Rider.
David Hasselhoff is a Vampire with a talking computer car that can telekinetically open mechanical locks. "KITT, the Sun's coming up, Tint the windows!" "I'm sorry Michael, the tinting circuits were damaged by KARR." "Then Turbo-boost!"
In Marvel Comics, the only perma-dead characters are Captain Marvel, Gwen Stacy, and Uncle Ben. Even Captain America gets ret-cons to come back from the dead multiple times (ice, temporal-phasing bullet [WTF, temporal phasing bullet!?]).
And for rare stupid programs like that, there's a "Run this program as an administrator" option. I hate using that option because people can choose to save files overwriting system dlls, but sometimes third party developers hard code stupid stuff. I just modified a Linux program from the NIH that essentially asked to be set up setuid root because the developer is a bio-scientist, not a programmer (it didn't actually ask for setuid, it just had all of its data files set to read-only for only one UID, and the test file directory was only root-writable, but the test program attempts to write files there, hard-coded; obviously I reset the permissions instead of resorting to a setuid root).

One step closer to "I know kung fu."
Sadly, still millions of steps to being in any sort of physical condition to use it.
"I know sumo?"

Everyone has the right to education.

No, it's a by-your-command line language. Totally open ended.

Who is this "Dr. Who" character of which you speak?
The Who on first
Who's a doctor? Who's the professional ball player, Then?
