IANAL (obviously) I recall some sort of "conspiracy to deprive someone of their human rights" type law that's a pretty serious offense.

Is it really that there's no recourse on these sort of things, or that people are afraid to use them?

Yeah that's great. Take a photo of a toddler just as she yanks her dress over her head and you're a felon. "AHHHH!! DELETE!! DELETE!!!"

I don't think people with effectively unending lives would be interested in war. There's too much to lose there. As it stands people say "I'm going to die anyways", or consider their expected lifetime and see it as not much to lose.

In other words if I'm 50 years from inevitable death what's the difference? If I'm 500 years from death whoah I am NOT interested in getting shot at.

And "immortal" means can't die. No humans can ever be immortal.

I don't believe in Angels. I KNOW they play baseball in Los Angeles.

I don't see the kill switch reducing the number of stolen phones being sold...
I see it increasing the number of stolen phones being sold "as is".

However, be warned that, when you say "the hoi polloi" you are actually saying "the the herd." Indicating that you too are "hoi polloi".

How come everyone and their brother haven't been turning in these for security bounties?

Let's not forget the ODF debacle where MS stacked committees around the world to pass their "standard".

I was curious about Apple deprecating OpenSSL so went looking into it.

Apparently OpenSSL doesn't keep a stable API between versions so developers should either static link it (ensuring eventual security problems if they are shipping out of date versions) or use something else if dynamic linking since Apples software updates would update OpenSSL and break apps using it.

Yeah, I wonder who he's related to.

I notice it tends to be a push towards more women in traditionally male dominated areas but not the other way around.

For example, a huge majority of sign language interpreters are female. If you take a sign language class you see the same thing, lots of women, few guys. For such a politically active workforce you have to wonder, where is the outrage?

Why is male disinterest unquestioned? Why not start with the assumption that men are being prevented from joining female dominated groups and work to change that as well?

Okay, then replace "dream worlds" with "fantasy novels". The point of internal consistency that you and another poster brought up is immaterial to my point of statistics proving nothing in this case.

Many people dream every night. Statistically there would be many more dream worlds than real worlds. So therefore this world is more likely to be a dream world than a real world.

Years ago I noticed bad default passwords on a professional industry website. Think doctors or bar association, that kind of thing. So basically every one in the country along with their dues payment info and personal profiles are accessible through a simple mangling of their name.

I reported it and was ignored. It's still like that. Professionals indeed.

Where are all the no experience needed programming jobs then? Everywhere I look 3 years of X 5 years of Y extensive knowledge of Z.
