It can very easily be argued that the greatest advancements in the sciences, especially in medicine, have been the result of researchers and inventors seeking to solve problems and diseases that plague humanity and that the subsequent commercialization of those discoveries and creations were not their primary motives and in numerous documented cases antithetical to their desires. (Edison was not one of these.)

At the very least, sender, recipient, time/date. Heck, maybe they even saved the email subject line.

Probably the only thing she's compromising is the DOJs sense of invulnerability and entitlement to do whatever they Fing want knowing full well that they can claim state secrets to hide anything.

I actually had no idea we were buying Russian rockets.
Oh well, at least they are better than North Korean models.

So, what is the Arianes launch record and failure determinations?

I wonder if SpaceX has a design for a heavy lifter yet...

It's odd how the article keeps saying Obama Administration, especially when you know that the whitehouse isn't wasting it's time on local stuff like that.
They should specify which departments or people are actually making these demands for the locals to not release the info.
They do state specifically in one case, and that was the FBI. You know, one of those three letter agencies that happily lie to Congress, the Senate, and the Whitehouse.

That's of course assuming they even use radio or other em radiation based systems we'd even recognize as communication.
If you want me to tell you what they might use, I would have to first reply with a question, "If you could talk to someone a thousand years ago, and you asked them how would people a thousand years in the future communicate at long distances with each other, and what do you think their answer would be."

Although we can speculate in a limited and fanciful way regarding unknown technologies as opposed to those that are simply improvements of that which is already known, realistically we just have no bloody idea of what the future discoveries and developments will yield.
Unfortunately, all this looking for radio signals doesn't take this into account. Searching for radio can only find radio, not the tech that came before, and certainly not the tech that may come after.

Don't get me wrong. I fully support the idea of their being other sentient, intelligent, technologically adept life out there. I just really doubt we'll find it by looking for radio broadcasts.

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.
