I think my laptop would require a slightly larger weight to pull this off. Of course I didn't RTFA, but I assume that as the weight is descending some sort of friction is being produced, which in turn produces your electrical charge. So wouldn't it make sense to have many smaller weights instead of one larger one?
This makes no sense whatsoever. Why would you blur "sensitive information" in this way? I understand that this is not Google doing this, nor have I said that it is, I direct this to whoever the culprit(s) may be.If you have a single building blurred then there is absolutely no advantage to that. You have the building around it well within 100 yards to use as landmarks if you wanted to find the building, you can get a general view of the surroundings of the building from the map, and then the actual building itself I'm sure you could find pictures of elsewhere or just survey it personally as it's on a college campus.
Wouldn't everyone like to see certain standards (like the IEEE POSIX standard) become oepn? As well as like all books so long as there are PDF versions made available:)
No, I did not read all of tfa. But since you're already diverting the light, why not split it and send it to the inside of the material (making it like one giant monitor) and send the rest around the item as described?
I remember when I used to use AIM shorthand... What got me to stop using it was that one day in class I happened to forget how to spell the word "you" on a paper I was writing and kept trying to put 'u'. So even though it may not mess with a person's grammar, I would certainly say it's detrimental to spelling.
You say that heads should roll from the top down... but that's not how it will happen. I agree with everything you say but am highly cynical as to what happens next. If anything a couple of low-ranking police will be fired and the head guys who agreed with it before will act like they're really keeping their force from doing this stuff.
That's how it always works with government. The top guys have the little guys do something to kind of see how far they can bend the rules. If a rule breaks (aka the citizens make a huge uproar) then the head guy will fire that little guy for doing what he was told. And then he'll move on to the next test. We need some serious reforms... but it's getting to the point where they've been able to go so far before that they're needing more and more outcry from us citizens. Eventually it will be to the point where they've taken things far enough that they won't have to listen to anything we say. They there will be either complete control over us citizens or a revolution. I call for a revolution... they usually fix things for a couple hundred years until the next rule-benders come along and start to take over. Welcome to the cycle of power. Well, I've ranted long enough now.
This should deffinitely spur an outcry for SSL sites. If someone infringes your privacy you should should lash out and try to have the problem fixed. Whenever you can't get the job done though it's nice to have something to fall back on. Any defense is better than no defense. I just checked https://slashdot.org/ and got redirected to the http:/// page. I suggest you all write with me asking for encryption on this site and any other site that you actually care about.

More like he just mirrored the hard drive and then returned it so as to hope that people would ease up on going after the culprit.

Last time I checked "lobbying ammo" was: free meals, scholarships for the kids, etc.
