Ouch for Valve.
This is gonna hurt.

So, the glasses don't seem to be generating lights or noise that are annoying other people, and they were not being used to record anything, though if they were, the batteries would have run down so fast you'd have to have a whole bag of them to make it through the movie.
One of those listed in the article was OFF and also the wearers PRESCRIPTION GLASSES HE NEEDED TO SEE WITH!!!

Yeah, your torch wield mobs of conformity police are really doing of good job of proving yourself worse than that douche that talks on his phone everywhere.

It's amazing how pissed so many people are getting over somebody else having a new and expensive accessory. What's even more amazing is the massive and undeserved overreactions that people are having that far out weigh anything that I've seen reported for actual "glassholes" doing. So far, most of the reports boil down to "somebody dared to actually wear googleglass, so people immediately started doing awful assholish things to them, all of which were unfair and several were illegal, isn't it awsome". I'm embarrassed that you technophobic luddites even found out how to get to the internet.

Yeah, I know, now you're going to go screaming about how I'm an evil monster and threaten to burn me at the stake. You should really look at yourselves first, you've turned into a mindless mob screaming for blood and attacking the innocent. Metaphorically that is. Nobody has been killed yet, though there are reports of theft and assault, so I doubt it'll be much longer before your kind kills someone over a tech accessory. Maybe next you'll go after kids with tablet computers.

I expect that in a few years, you will be able to get something equivalent to the googleglasses, but with much better battery life and a price more in the range of $150-$250. I'll want to get that, and load up a variety of apps to help deal with some issues of mine.
My meds screw with my memory, so an intelligent scheduler and notes app is on the list. Popping up reminders in my vision works much better than me trying to remember to check my phone all the time, or the 10 million alarms that often aren't even heard over the noise.
Another app will help with my face blindness. Yes, that's right, the dreaded facial recognition software. I want pics of the people I meet stored with their names and reminder notes so when someone starts talking to me, I can figure out who they are in a few seconds instead of agonizing over it for hours. Even if people know you have that issue, they tend to get upset when you can't remember who they are.
Besides, it won't be that much of a change for me to wear them, as I need glasses to see pretty much anything in the first place. You know that big E at the top of the eye chart. Let's put it this way, the last time I saw that without glasses was in grade school. I've been banned from having glass lenses since I was in high school. Fortunately they have these fantastic optical polymers that are so much lighter and thinner than glass for lenses. Even so, a little bit of extra weight could be tolerated for the benefit.

So again, you want to ignore something what it can be used for and instead be an even bigger pain than someone you suspect might act like an entitled douche?
Well go get some rabies shots fido, because you're foaming at the mouth again.

Yeah, from what I've read, they'd be lucky to record the previews before running out of juice.

So, do you also kick out people wearing a tie, or using a phone you don't like?
Maybe it's a t-shirt for a band you don't like because they play the 'wrong' music.

Sounds more like the people that weren't wearing a headsup display accessory for their phone are ones being "glassholes".

Now if he was doing research into bitcoin and the mining of bitcoins, there might be a reason for him to have done that.
Of course the remote access and use of a mirror site in Europe rather points to it being illicit.

Yeah, in the USA they'd have probably called the cops afterward, pressed charges, and give interviews to the news station that they stopped a pair of bank robbers that might be linked to terrorists.

In the early 80s, a bunch of us taught ourselves how to use the computers using only their manuals and experimentation. We then had to teach the teachers, since they didn't know anything. Ironically, 3 years later those same computers were reserved for the teachers only.

Back when I was a kid in school, we used a lot of things for explosives in science class. Including flour and sugar. You'd also be amazed what you can do with steel wool and aluminum wool or powder.
Your entire house is composed of nothing but potential chemical weapons and explosive components. Face it, they are all chemicals and most of them can burn, only assholes totally trying to stretch laws way past stupid over-reach will try to arrest someone on something that flimsy.

The neither hacked nor cracked it, they used the built in an approved method as outlined in the Operators Manual. The only questionable part was that they were not authorized to do so, except maybe when they demonstrated it to the bank personnel because they were requested to by an authorized person.

The only way I can see files being kept inaccessible without putting them in a long orbit is to use hardware that is too much of a pain to compromise, possibly with a deadman destruction system to make tampering very risky.
If there's any form of encryption that has an existing key, all they need is the key. Of course, if they can't find it, it's no use for them, but it's pretty obvious that's not going to cut it since they are legally required to turn it over if given the proper paperwork. Going to jail for not giving it to them is not a viable solution to this dilemma.

They are after a way to make files safe for a predetermined period of time in such a fashion that it can NOT be accessed prematurely, it CAN be accessed after that period of time, and can't be easily circumvented by legal or other means.

Again, I don't see any way of fulfilling that without some hardware equivalent of a time lock safe. Obviously the 'clock' would have to be inside the protection system since if it wasn't that would be an easy way to pop it early.

It would be fantastic if someone can think of a perverse method of making this work just with encryption. I don't see it happening, but one in a million chances happen every day.

The conservationists in Florida have often said the Launch Facility was an amazing boon for the wildlife.
The conservationists in Texas should be happy about the new spaceport for the benefits it'll bring for wildlife conservation.

Besides, I've lived in Texas, and it's not exactly an environmental gem in the first place. :P

Last I heard, there were heavy restrictions on what types of questions could be asked.
Second, from what I've seen, they are little more than cleverly created scripts, and as such, despite them fooling a few people, are in no way indicative of machine intelligence.

I heard about road signs being reprogrammed back in the 90s. This is nothing new.

Somebody please mod that AC idiot offtopic, and maybe a few other things as well, and let the rest of us get back to ragging on microsoft for not doing the security patches on win7.

This has already come up in court in a couple of cases. The end result was that recording a public servant in public is legal, no matter what the cops say. Arresting you for it is illegal and unconstitutional. Doesn't mean they still won't try, and that if they do, you won't have years of heartache and harassment in court, but you are allowed to do it.

As to leaving the area, that is dependent on where everything is occurring. Somebody coming up to the cops is probably going to lose. On the other hand, the lady that was filming from her yard right in front of her porch, a good 30 feet or more away from a traffic stop was vindicated by the courts.

No matter what, the cops don't wield the word of god. It's true there are instructions they give you that you are required to follow, but that's by no means all of them. If you don't want the hassle, follow their instructions so long as they are reasonable, if not, that's at your own discretion.

IANAL, but I did stay at a Holid.... err... Ok, bad joke. I kept an eye on the reports of a couple of these cases. I don't remember their names, but if you search, you can find them.
