To quote the Declaration of Independence:

Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it...

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

Yep, and since when is someone who writes such an app a "hacker?" They may be a reprobate, but they haven't hacked anything.

"The cops are going to have a lot of fun explaining"

...because, terrorists!

can see how Uber is worth a lot of money. Maybe not $41 billion, but definitely a lot of money. It's called "mind share" and "reputation".

If Uber's valuation were based on their reputation, it would be negative.

Where are you that you are still in a pension plan which you don't control? I'd think most /. users have 401(k) which they have at least a bit of control over. Too bad that doesn't stop a common mistake, though - someone betting everything on the company they work for, salary, stock/options, and 401(k) investments.

Note that Stingrays aren't just radio receivers. They mimic cell towers, and are also transmitters. They transmit on spectrum which belongs to the cell carriers, and they do so without a license or warrant. That's illegal.

Also, cell frequencies aren't "readily accessible to the general public" - Congress has passed laws which specifically prohibit the public from accessing those frequencies and prohibits the manufacture of general purpose radios (scanners) which can receive them.

"Just another tabloid rag."

Gotta compete with the NYT.

Hulk smash!

Rumor is that timothy is a Turing test which has failed to match human intelligence.

Each pixel is either a color or black, which is the absence of light (color). That wasn't so hard to figure out, was it?

That would be timothy, the editor from hell.

"open sores software"

There's an anti-virus which can treat that.

No seals on any Macs, at least up until the candy colored ones, either. You needed a hard to find long T-15 screwdriver (and a special case separator, if you didn't want to do cosmetic damage) to open them, though. But the RAM was soldered in, so it wouldn't have been a Mac that needed its RAM reseated.

No, the Apple 1 came prebuilt. You needed to connect the support infrastructure - power supply, keyboard, display, but the motherboard was already built.

The Apple ][ was initially available the same way, as a bare prebuilt motherboard, in addition to completely packages (except monitor).
