When a warrant is challenged there is usually an injunction that prevents tampering or deleting data and doing so is a criminal act. You can't just challenge a warrant and use that time to get rid of the evidence. No company is going to take on the legal risks of doing so on behalf of an end-user nor are they going to allow an end-user access to the content to make changes or delete it.
Facebook wanted to lose this case for a number of reasons. The two most important are that it looks good (they pretend to care) and that it sets a precedent so they need not be obligated to fight such in the future. Also, I can think of no reason to treat online data any different than physical goods. In each case a warrant should be required, be specific, and only cover those things which they have probable cause to expect will provide evidence of wrong-doing. In all cases warrants should adhere to strict guidelines and, frankly, these are often not as strict as they should be.
The safe deposit box at the bank I use requires only one single fancy key. The bank has a duplicate of this key (and it is very fancy and expensive to replace) but they do not have a second key for the individual lock boxes. The second key, in this case, is a door that is time-locked and the whole room is a walk-in safe. In fact, I have never had a safe deposit box that required a second key to open beyond the door to the safe or a gate within the safe itself. Perhaps you have watched too many movies or you've only experienced a small sample size and attempted to extrapolate? "Each one" does not have two keys and I have utilized safety deposit boxes for a number of years and in a variety of locations.
You could have just stopped there.;) I keed, I keed...
Anyhow, this will not be relying on the phone's camera I do not believe. It looks like it will be using an add-on device which has a specialist's camera (probably multi-lensed with different filters) instead. I am not, nor should I be considered, either an expert or a valid source of information other than observations. So, yeah, it should be a whole separate unit that is attached and used through an existing phone.
I had a tricorder app on my phone at one point. It did not do anything interesting (I seem to recall it used signal strength and GPS data to make numbers that meant nothing) but it was fun to pull out and play with. It served absolutely no function other than amusing me and bewildering the occasional onlooker.
I thought spectrometry was destructive testing. I was under the impression that it was burned and the gas was analyzed. It turns out that that is, more specifically, gas chromatography - mass spectrography. I did not know this. Your posts motivated me to learn a little bit more, it is not my area of expertise, so I appreciate it. One of the things I value most about this site is the diversity of experts who are here and willing to share their education with us unwashed masses.
Anyhow, mass spectrometry is done by bombarding the item with electrons. What is the difference between that and this and how would this be able to make any determinations just by observing the IR data? I am assuming/guessing it is reflective in nature and that the reflection is then interpreted?
I have some play money that I use to invest. I do surprisingly better than I thought. I actually average between 8 and 13% which is pretty impressive, if I say so myself, as I do all of it "myself" and have absolutely no training. My first few years I averaged -2% or so but I have long since made up for it. Anyhow, yes - I do use this site in my considerations. I do not take investing advice from anyone here but it is good for noticing trends and catching things that may be game changers in the near future. If, for instance, you see a number of people start to recommend a new site in their comments then it may be wise to throw some VC in that direction in hopes that an IPO happens. Rumors or interest also translate into mergers and outright purchases - those things can be noted here and are less likely to be subject to intentional misinformation because, frankly, only a moron would take investing advice from/.ers.
So no... It is not a tool for a deterministic approach. It is a tool, one of many, for information concerning trends and potential futures. It is not, nor should it be, a single source of information but is a fine metric to be used in combination with other sources. It really depends on what you are expecting, how you make use of the information, and how you filter the information and weigh it appropriately.
I have not had to add any money to my play money fund in quite a while. I actually have more investment capital now, because of this site, than I had when I started my hobby and that total is much higher than the amount that I have put into it. I have been enjoying my hobby (which is more people watching than investing) for about fifteen years which is longer than I have been retired.
It works for me... Just chose an area that you are interested in and a community that follows those interests or is populated by people employed in those interests. It is amazing what you can glean from comments - even from Anonymous Coward comments. I make notes (with links even) to myself and follow the trends. Sometimes I do some scraping and some statistical analytics or aggregate from sites like Google News and similar and then manually review the results. It really is more about people watching, we are herd animals even though we like to think we're independent and unique-minded individuals, and then capitalizing on the trends. Remember, you're unique - just like everybody else.
Example:
Microsoft - They were a great investment if you got in at the right time. Now? They are great for holding capital with little risk. No major changes here. Apple - They were great to get into when you heard people raving about the advent of the iPhone and iPads. Be cautious now, they are cash-on-hand/asset wealthy though. RedHat - Slow but progressive. Not a bad choice as open-source is going to continue to experience growth. It will be slow growth but it will be a decent average. Google - Inconsistent. Good growth, usually, but not a wise long-term strategy (debatable) for my particular desires. Great if I could have jumped on it in time. I did not play the game then.
Anyhow, to me it is a hobby. I fully expect to lose all of my money and that is okay. I started investing in my hobby at a much higher level when I sold my business eight years ago. (The company does vehicular and pedestrian traffic modeling - that actually correlates well with investing.) In that time, I have more than doubled my investment total. Well, no... In the full fifteen years I have more than doubled my investment total. Considering my total investment is ~300k USD this means I have made a tidy profit. This profit is based almost entirely not from news sources but from observing the comments *at* the news and aggregation sites and limited to only areas of investment where I also have an intimate familiarity or a layman's interest.
I do think that this strategy would be harmed if more people attempted to do so. I suspect there would be more insidious attempts to control the narrative if this b
It has reached the point where I am inclined to trust a random slashdotter more than I am inclined to visit Wikipedia. There are so many things that a Wikipedia article simple can not, does not, cover. I am often at a loss for words when I see articles that are ostensibly about subjects that I am fluent in. My doctorate is in Applied Mathematics and you would be amazed at the number of things I have found that are not necessarily wrong but not right either. They are just either mis-represented or simply not actually related to the subject. I lack initiative so I will not bother going to dig out a few of these issues but, frankly, go read some pages on subjects for which you have an intimate knowledge. It is not even worth editing them. If you check the revision pages you can often see where someone has come along and reverted a good edit with no talk and no real discernible reason for doing so.
I have a friend who likes to opine that his connection to his ISP has been much more stable since the NSA started getting involved. I'd point out that it may be due to technical improvements but it is more amusing to hear him go off on his rant. He jokes about giving control of the whole infrastructure to them. At least, I hope he is joking.
Regarding your number 2... Frequently get tampered with in transit? Really? I have, literally, never seen this. I suppose I could be not seeing it because it is done in transit but I never even hear of this happening other than proposals as to why it is a problem. I am subjected to countless spearphish attacks and regular phishing attacks. I still have my *ceo*@tld.com address (when I sold the businesses I was allowed to keep the address as I had used it for personal emails way back when the company was very tiny and no business emails go through it any more). That email gets _everything_ thrown at it. Fortunately, I do not need to manage it but it gets more attack emails than emails of any other type.
Are you saying I have no right to control the content on my computer? How odd... If I want to read email in plain text, and I do enforce this and reply only in plain text, then I am going to. That you think I have no right to do so is absurd. I am not obligated to allow any content on my system nor am I obligated to view something in the way which you intended. Fucking moron. Get off my internet. You *are* the problem.
This might even be a good market for the.410. However, we should aspire to make the rounds expensive and not available to the general public. We will sell a cheap knock-off at Walmart.
I am thinking they might like to wear a fez... They should also drive a motorcycle and attract lots of people from their sexual preference. They should be able to do all of that while wearing the fez - as well as steampunk, parkour, and ninja-ing.
They would probably just be geeks and end up living in your basement after a horrible divorce warped them mentally. Then again, we'd produce the next generation of/.ers in good fashion.
My feedback is back at 85% and I can't risk another death screwing me over."
That could be beneficial. Meaning the doctor was honest with themselves (try to not laugh) and realized that they were not good enough to treat the at-risk patients. Notice the word 'could.' I am being an idealist and there is no way I would expect a physician to be honest with themselves and a prospective patient. I damned sure can not envision a physician admitting that they are sub-par. I do like to point out that 50% of all doctors graduated at the bottom of their class (ignoring the bell curve, of course).
I was assuming, perhaps erroneously, that they meant to say that they blocked the IP address(es) of the attacking parties. That still, of course, has problems but they are lesser problems and fewer problems than locking the account itself out. I can not imagine that locking the account out would be a good idea really.
Her... It is right in their username. I even clicked their link in their signature and confirmed that they do appear to be female. That would be the "girlie" part of "gaygirlie" that is their moniker.
You have no idea how many people I have told that there is no such word as gullible who have then gone on to look it up in a dictionary. It is sad and glorious all at the same time. I had a dictionary in my office and used it way too frequently for this joke. I used it a number of times while interviewing candidates. It was not a deal breaker but it was close. "No, really. It is not a word. Look it up..." It was far too easy to get the word gullible into a conversation. If you get bored and have a dictionary or a web browser handy then try it sometime.
It is sort of like my favorite joke...
"Do you want to hear my favorite joke?" "Sure..." "Okay, but I must warn you - it is my favorite joke and you won't like it much." "Umm... Okay..." "Ask me if I am an orange." "Are you an orange?" *look at them like they are an idiot* "Nooooo....?" *pause* "I love that joke." *meander off laughing*
You shift with your left hand and are right handed. Not really all that random. Decent CPUs can use deterministic algorithms to guess probable outcomes and create a dictionary based attack that would, eventually, find your password quicker than you might think. Not that I am an expert or anything but I have been cramming a bunch of articles on the subject into my head in an effort to pass time.
I have read enough of your posts. You and I are getting married in my imagination. Then we are going to set the world on fire and giggle as it burns.
Sorry, I could not help myself. Well spoken. As a mixed-race person I find it really disturbing when people try to give me a "leg up." No thanks... That is just telling me that you think I can not do it on my own. There will always be bigots. No legislation, cultural changes, or anything is going to fix that. Hell, I am bigoted, I just acknowledge it and work around it by forcing myself to remember my biases. However, all you can do is work to minimize it or, maybe - just maybe, do your "job" (it is not always work related) well enough so that it is exceptional and change the minds of a single bigot. Even if you do not then you have the satisfaction of being excellent.
I have a hobby of spending time observing the courts. I have not been to every court but I have been to many. I have yet to see any feminist's equality group advocating for equal penalties in domestic violence (or any criminal conduct) cases. I have yet to see them protesting for the right to be drafted either though I recall someone mentioning that she felt they should be subjected to the same rules. She, too, was a Marine (we called 'em Lady Marines) so she may be a bit different or outright insane. She was actually an MCT trainer, I would not like to be subjected to her abuse as a domestic partner or otherwise. In the real world she had been an Olympic "second" (she did not compete) for the U.S. Ladies Judo Team. She was the MCT at Quantico, she taught Occifers how to do battle and stuff and wasn't afeared of nuttin' nohow.
