"Think about "Computer Fraud and Abuse". The wording of the law makes it so that a strict definition of a "computer" can make you guilty of anything. A touch-tone telephone with number memory and built-in answering machine may be a small embedded computer; if you use it to dial into a phone system tree and hack your way through the system, you're using "a phone"... but, since it's got an embedded SOC, can you be charged with hacking "with a computer"? "

In that case it would still be Computer Fraud and Abuse if you used a turn dial phone, because you exploited the computer program and used the principles against it.
Its actually a bad example, the Neil Scott Kramer case is a better one where CFaA was tacked on his Coersion of Minor charges because his phone could be connected to the Internet, ignoring that his approchment of the victim did not rely on it.

Firearms violations act is also a bad example and far from relevant.
Most Firearm acts also classifies a range of lethal weapons then just projectiles propulsed by an explosions.

Pft...decimals...why to you hate accuracy...

Better solution is to start adding denominator to the ehm denomination.

Yeah...well...maybe /. sucks at LaTeX..

Ever think of that?

Not to mention how accecible it is to flash the shit from the OS...secure computing is fucking trash.

I spent almost two months trying to diagnose and fix this.

I reinstalled, tried to wipe the mbr and disk with zeroes, tried to reset CMOS on my stationary pc (try that on a fucking laptop)...

Since I depended on my laptop for my internship...missing work, using my limited resources(read medicine) trying to fix what i though to be fixable, to salvagable, to dear god give me another bottle of Grouse!

I installed both Avast and Malwarebyte(yes they worked together) some years ago...but somehow they didnt catch the wild changes in the registry, every location for programs was replaced with an CLSID exploiting that fucking virtualisation hack windows provided.
That and Alternative Data Streams....JESUS CHRIST!

I had internal winsock commands that came from absolute NOWHERE!

Im not an expert.....Im happy for people to call me mad and/or idiot.

But when a fresh install of Ubuntu decides to include every fucking packagea that includes virtualisation solutions....

"If I am mad, it is mercy! May the gods pity the man who in his callousness can remain sane to the hideous end!”

I have two laptops (one Ive sent to repair begging them to nuke every fucking ROM from space), the other overheats withing 30 minutes and my stationary...everything got certs I cant trust for shit.

Again, Am i dense? Have I panicked for nothing and led myself astray by red herrings? (This is not meant to be a tech support plea, just sort of...retorical)

Which is funny because initially Lobsters were considered quite "unappetizing", and what was caught was grounded up into dog food.
It was not until recently( late 19th century that or such) that it began to grow in demand for the high diners.

But yeah, I read an article about researchers researching exactly bugs for human consumption....and you now what, in a tortilla...it all looks good.

Jellybears and chocolate....does contain amounts of bugs in them.

Some sort of lice is used to make red food color dye...

And processing cacao... unfortunately...does tend to include some creepy crawlers .involuntarily.

Enjoy.

Hey...like in Metro 2033!

Problem is that they are appointed as counting officials.

*pfhu*

And nobody gives a hoot about me and my giant bat!

Yeah, the QT Sensor module is fully implemented now.

And all the rage lately has been about hooking rendering to OpenGL.

"Babylon 5: I've found her"

Quite...they already have Pixar...the old "Lucasfilm Games".

In the same way human progress is "arbitrary".

Ethics is the the branch of philosophy(logics that is) that debates what is moral.

Its not the same thing.

I've seen people that have gone with the impression that morals is purely a Religious thing...that is NOT the case.
