Our government doesn't yet have enough political power to safely brutalize its general population (though it's doing an increasingly good job on minorities), but it can control most of us never-the-less.
Your government doesn't need to brutalize its general population in order to control it.
And, as you have noted yourself, it does resort to brutalizing when dealing with less compliant groups.
Ignorant? Really?
Bigoted against tranny prostitites? On government transportation that the public rides on? HELL, yes. Publicly visited transport should be free of this filth. You're a complete fucktard for thinking this is not completely fucking disgusting and actually supporting it's actions. Just because some assclown wants to pretend it's a woman, that certainly means that it isn't. Get that seedy shit off of national transportation that people have to pay to be on. Clown.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
That's great, as long as you stay out of Canada.
Unless you're calling your local Comcast office you're calling across state lines. If you do anything across state lines it falls to the Feds which are 1 party.
Unless one party is in California.
See this for an interesting analysis.
They don't hash the raw file itself they construct a specialised hash based on the image content. It breaks the image up into chunks, analyses those chunks and generates a hash from that analysis. The intent being to make it resilient to cropping, scaling and colour changes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P...
The geek in me wants to know the algorithm(s) it uses so I can detect similar but not-quite-identical images in a collection. The (free) programs that I tried so far were stumped by cropping or colour changes or both.
So why is lying to Congress not a punishable offense?
Depends on who does the lying and how well connected they are.
Jail isn't going to do any good unless you put the whole agency in jail.
Fine by me.
Unless the law will include criminal penalties it's of no value.
It's interesting how laws made to limit non-government workers *always* have the criminal penalties, and laws that are made to limit government workers always conveniently forget that part. When we start jailing people who break laws like this we'll start making headway.
This. A 1000 times this!
The settlement terms of my lawsuit against EA included that they're supposed to inform UPFRONT of the SecuROM DRM.
If they're no longer doing that, I've got standing to sue the fuck out of them again.
Please do so.
No, SecuROM does not damage a computer in any way.
So, if the a copy of SecuRom installed on my machine does any of the things that the FAQ specifically claims it does not, can I bring charges against the company under the unlawful computer access act (or however it is called)?
Israel have detente with two of their neighbors...
Is this how you define signed peace agreements?
Created under GWB, and the left hated it, extended under BHO, and the left goes silent. I'm trying to figure out at what point does principle gets put aside for politics?
You don't have any Left to speak of, there's Right and Even-More-Right.
You also have to be competent enough to evaluate the security vulnerabilities of said source code.
This is a bunch of numbers.
how exactly are you "working to eliminate [living in scarcity] in America"?
So communism and socialism is a religion?
The theoretical socioeconomic systems, not really.
The actual attempts at implementation (Stalinism, Maoism, etc.), very much so.
Make sure your code does nothing gracefully.
