Submission + - Open source add-on rewrites the user interface of IE11 (quero.at)

An anonymous reader writes: This is how Internet Explorer would look like if you move the tabs to the top like in other browsers. Developed as a design and UX study, the open source add-on replaces the default navigation bar and combines three traditionally separate toolbars into one. The UX project started in 2004 to demonstrate that it is feasible to combine the address, search, and find box into one. Additionally, Quero offers a variety of customization options for IE, including making the UI themeable or starting Microsoft's desktop browser always maximized.

It has nothing to do with how radio works, they give no fucks, it has everything with what the user of the radio expects. Laws are by and large written to apply to people, not technology.

If most people expect a situation to be private and you listen in, then you're an asshat and the law will usually punish you for it regardless of how easy it was for you to listen. This has nothing to do with the technical details of the situation.

Once again we come back to the fact that it's always really easy for the government to create political "thought-crimes" however with a solid constitution there's a limit to the damage they can do.

You have to remember that it's infeasible to write a constitution to prevent the government from writing bad laws at all, the fifth is a very important part in preventing the potential abuse of the rather inevitable bad laws.

If you want an example of recent US history where the 5th was very important, just remember:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism

Imagine how much worse that could have been without the 5th even if it was to an extent disregarded.

The country I live in is Sweden.
