JJ is a fan of Star Wars, not Star Trek. He was even quoted as saying he didn't want to direct Star Wars because "I’d rather be in the audience not knowing what was coming, rather than being involved in the minutiae of making them.”

Then again, M. Night Shyamalan was a fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender and we all know how that turned out.

They are still getting warrants. Just non-specific ones. In other words, the use of encryption at all is an assumption of illegal activity and worthy of a warrant. Which is completely invalid, of course.

The thing to be searched is specified (at a John/Jane Doe level - which case law supports) so I don't see why it's a 4th amendment violation on those grounds. The "why" is non-specific but encryption alone is being called probable cause. That's the violation.

Comment Re:Not to mention Audio Editing (Score 1) 223

I have not tried simple wav editing on a surround file.

When I said multi-track, I didn't mean surround. I meant multiple stereo tracks that can be layered during editing. Which is absolutely essential for video, but also for studio music recording (one for drum, one for vocals, etc.). But surround support is something I didn't expect that Audacity had.

They are unfunded because they were stolen from. If you think the average state employee's pension is high, you're believing the propaganda. State employees don't get Social Security. A percentage of their income gets paid into their pension instead.

There was one politician who managed to wiggle his way into 3 separate pensions (from multiple political appointments) and was properly criticized for it, but it was also used as a platform to make it seem like everyone's is high.
