Agreed. Also how is this different from programming a business app? Actually a business app is way harder. A game need only be internally consistent. But a business app needs to be consistent wit existing company procedures and vocabularies as well as comply with various regulations. By comparison real world apps are way harder then game apps. I have written both and real world business apps are way more 'hard'.

It has not been known for two years. It has existing for two years and only recently discovered...by the good guys. God only knows when the bad guys discovered it, you would have to ask them.

I agree. Most probably agree that in the case of revenge porn there should be an easy to exercise control over images taken of you in the privacy of your own home.

That is a completely different discussion then the common carrier type protections that currently exist for web site operators. Wasn't it the good part of the DCMA?

I assume the reason for why they want to go after website operators is because it is easy for an anonymous uploader to hide while the website operator is highly visible.

Perhaps the solution to that is simply to be able to prove to the website operator that you are in fact the person in the photo and demand its removal. If it was uploaded anonymously who is to claim otherwise?

Most of the time I am in favour of using existing laws, but perhaps this is a case where a new explicit right protected by law could be introduced. You own all rights to anonymous naked images of yourself and no website operator can claim ownership based on anonymous uploads. (how can an anonymous person grant anyone anything?). If the image was not uploaded anonymously, the subject of the photo can seek remedy through the courts leaving the website operator out of it.

Not claiming this is perfect, just spit-balling ideas :)

No kidding. Anyone who has used Android for any length of time and then has to help their mom with their iPhone know just how crappy the UI on the iPhone is. Everytime I use an iPhone I feel like the developers are playing some kind of cruel joke on me.

Does anyone else have that feeling? I just don't get why people think iPhones are better on any metric at all.

you can just try all possible passwords

I guess I just misunderstood this sentence.

As far as I understand things there is a big difference between solving a hash in isolation compared to actually attempting to use the password on the system in question. So your comment would make sense only if the system in question would allow you to actual try all those other passwords on the system without locking you out. What system in the world would allow you to attempt a million logins before locking you out?

That is a completely different scenario. Yes paying for an event license covers to cost of "extra" policing and possible cleanup and traffic routing during that event. That is a little different then bitching about high taxes then complaining about lack of service and then paying directly for a cop to perform their regular duties thus inviting issues of divided loyalties.

Its simple, your culture is broken, go to your nearest support center for servicing or RMA it.

Giant US company no doubt lobbying against higher taxes is dismayed at lack of local civic service so pays for cop directly? This is so totally wrong. The US has its head so far up its arse it is truly weird. Its funny that those who speak loudest in favor of capitalism act as if their real goal was to return to what came before capitalism, namely Feudalism.

Why don't you guys just get on with it and amend your constitution to "one share one vote"

Of course they should not have. What the hell was the point? Whether he is the founder or not makes no difference. This is Hollywood ET style journalism. Who gives a crap about anything to do with the founder? It belongs in People magazine not a business or technical journal. So anyway you look at it, it was dumb.

Its annoying but isn't it all about kin group identification? It is annoying that those that turn up their nose at creationism (for all the right reasons) can also believe that cell phones give you cancer or microwave ovens harm your food.

They are just being intellectually lazy and falling back on a type of "fashion" that says "I am one of these people, not one of those people"

it bugs the hell out of me, but I understand it is just because they want to be loved :)

It is really all about coal. USA Has been converting to Natural Gas, China has been gorging on coal. Finding a way for China to get off coal is really important. http://www.energytrendsinsider...

From an ethical standpoint emission per capita is the only measure that matters. The climate does not care how many cars you built while spewing emissions, it only cares about absolute numbers. And when discussing global "fairness" the only thing that matters is per capita. It would be like saying your allowed to litter more then your neighbor because you make more money and buy more stuff. On what ethical foundation to rest your claim that per capita is worthless and per GDP is preferred?

Also, the main reason that emissions are dropping in the USA is because of the shear number of coal plants converting to natural gas. Not intending to diminish this achievement, its a great step in regards to the climate. But once that conversion is complete then what?

I would also like to point out that you are making proud statements about something that Obama deserves credit for. At the time the Republicans lambasted Obama about it saying he was de-industrializing the USA etc etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Having read at lease all of the summary that it is NOT either of the mothers suing for child.support, it is the state. At some point one of the mothers needed child support. The state feels that the other parent ahould be paying if they can. So either they thought the man had more resources to be able to pay. Or perhaps they thought that going after the other women would result in a precident of the state recognizing a same sex parent. In either event this is cold mechanical government policy at work, not a women seeking assistance from the man. In all likelyhood she stands by her contract. But I didnt read tfa

Marked insightfull??? Think that is a big whoosh on the sarcasm.

Because otherwise local sydney cable companies would have to license the shows themselves. If people in sydney want to watch these shows, thats a potential market to sell.to
