Constitutional rights apply to all people within US jurisdiction - Foreigners within the US are also protected against unreasonable search, etc (yes even "illegal aliens").

...now you have 2 problems.

What better way to tell your cow-orkers "dont bug me right now".

Of course, it won't really filter out the annoying people, they'll just tap your shoulder.

Um...you *can* install Linux on most Chromebooks. A hardware switch unlocks the bootloader to do just that.

I'm current working for a US company in Australia, and I never have to think about SOX. We automated all of the SOX stuff into the background, so day to day I work oblivious to these things.

Didn't you have automation and process improvement to do the same?

In many jurisdictions, you will find that statuary warranty laws mean that a lamp failing after just 3-4 years can be replaced free regardless of manufacturer warranty.

In my jurisdiction (AU) as well as others (eg EU), law mandates that a device should last as long as is reasonably expected and advertised. If they advertise it as lasting 20y but it fails after 5, they're going to find consumer agencies breathing down their backs to replace, no matter what the official warranty is.

There could not be a more appropriate comic for this poll:

As someone who has interviewed over a hundred network engineers for a major tech company, let me just say that experienced candidates with CCIEs and experienced candidates without CCIEs have about the same success rate of passing a technical interview. The only difference seems to be that those without lean towards practical real world experience, and those without lean towards book knowledge.

He has recently between doing a lot of work on the interplanetary internet, you will find this is next big thing.

Does this have proper 2.5mm pin spacing throughout?

The most annoying thing about the regular arduino is the fact that you can't use standard protoboard for home made shields.

Please tell me they have fixed this problem.

I guess that hard drive is now worth more than the US economy.

This is a complete misread of telecoms terminology, they are not banning user encryption.

The actual regulation only mentions encryption ONCE, and that is in regard to signalling information.

Signalling information is not the data. I repeat, signaling information is NOT the data.

For phone calls, signalling is the bits that tell the system where the call is go to, and who from, and other "meta" information about the call. For data, signalling is the outer part of the IP packet that carries destination information.

The encrypted part of data is in the PAYLOAD. And they don't require the payload to be decrypted. It's also the same section that requires the
info to not be compressed. Are they really going to decompress all files before sending them off? No way.

All they are requiring is that the phone call source/destination info, and Ip traffic packets are not encrypted *further* by the ISP. Customer
VPN data will continue to flow as normal.

IAANE (I am a network engineer) and I have had to deploy a government spying^Hlegal intercept platform before, and this is pretty much just
bog standard like many other countries do.

Bottom line: A non story. Pakistan wants ISPs to implement legal intercept. Big whoop, most countries have already done this.

Unlocking does NOT void a phone's warranty, as much as the manufacturers would like you to believe.

Under the relevant jurisdictions of much of /. readership, it is illegal for a manufacturer to deny a warranty claim, *unless* they can show that the modification was a factor in the fault (in this case, the third party firmware such as cyanogen).

This is what prevents car manufacturers denying warranty claims on, say a gearbox, just because you replaced the radio. Same goes for your phone, if the camera CCD starts playing up, they cannot blame the firmware and deny coverage.

My Nexus S is rather well behaved in this regard. "fastboot oem unlock" says that it *may* affect the warranty, but does not state that it is outright void.

For the US, read up on the Magnnuson Moss Warranty Act.
