'may' instead of 'are', because that way when they screw up, they can claim that your particular conversation wasn't recorded.

Or it could be that their site changes.
Well, the other thing is that you cannot run commands on arbitrary data without privilege escalation, unless you are already root. It is simply conceptually impossible. Any process that allows you to access data above your privilege level includes a privilege escalation by definition.
My take is just that the article sound sensationalist and not very competent with regards to technology.
But if you run Linux from disk on a system, and you create a user with the same ID as the user data you're trying to access on that system, you can read all the data from that user. That is not privilege escalation, as far as I can see.
So if I don't know... Prince Harry is pulled over and is found to be over the limit, his name will be tweeted?
Somehow I don't believe that will happen.
I'm just curious if anyone in the administration actually knows that US wireless companies use different, incompatible technologies. A phone that works on one carrier would, at most, have a chance of working on only one other carrier, and would, most likely, lack the ability to take advantage of the additional carrier's full spectrum, resulting in degraded service.
Yes they do know. If the phone companies hadn't been ready now, they would have waited until they were and then made the announcement. The administration looks good, pro consumer, where in reality you're still locked in.
I always wondered, if people are not allowed to talk about this stuff, can't they just go to Mexico and tell people there?
And in a few months a new law will be proposed: 'The anti-terrorist and anti-child porn law for public protection', that requires ISP's to do exactly the same.
Perhaps because NK has no internet save for a few places that are highly controlled?
I've never encountered a situation, and am at a loss for an actual, private-citizen, real-world situation, where more than 3 rounds would be necessary except in the case of an incompetent shooter (i.e. poor aim).
Perhaps law-enforcement officers can be in situations where more then 3 rounds are needed?
Lately its configuration is such that if approaching from one of the side streets and the light is red, you have to stop and wait for it turn green. This doesn't seem to be any better than an inductive loop in the pavement, and thus the current implementation is a waste of money (IMHO).
The reason 'they' do this (well, in the Netherlands) is; if local people grow accustomed to the fact that they can always count on the light being green when they are at the intersection, they will after awhile expect it to be green. By delaying the green, people will slow down before they have reached the intersection, which is safer.
Don't know if this is actually true, but it's the rationale given.
I did not (and still do not) blurb out answers just because I can, I will only do so _after_ everybody else (mostly from the "doh!" category) in the room were stumped.
So you wait until you are sure that everyone does not know the answer and then you show everyone just how smart you are?
Intelligent... Perhaps. Wisdom... Not really no.
You can start by not using words like "rectifying"
I don't know why; it’s a perfectly cromulent word
