As a not-too-happy Time Warner customer, I pray I can stay simply not-too-happy.
Next up: MADD is upset about how the name implies it's a beer for those 17 and up.
I assume they will send us all free Hypno Toads and we will become the Amazon Army.
Because, Evil. It only makes sense.
Good points. In addition:
* you can shop at whatever time is convenient to you.
* many many many of the things you buy through Amazon come from small merchants all over the country. Amazon doesn't stock everything themselves
* for my rural self, the convenience of having something shipped to me in 3 or 4 days trumps having to drive 45 min each way to a large store to get a single item in many cases
In short, there are a number of valuable thing, other than pure cost, that lead me to buy many things online.
Although it seems like a "gotcha!" sort of thing, government and Law is not beyond working in contradiction. It's one of its defining features.
They'll come up with some ruling somewhere that will tease apart the SCOTUS ruling and manage to do exactly as you say.
I think you answered your own question.
The threat of force is not insignificant.
data on the phone can endanger no one.
In a perfect world, the onus would still be on the police to get a warrant to connect the private data to the DMV database.
Of course, if anyone believes that would happen without abuse then they aren't paying attention. I get your point.
Sounds like On Demand with Time Warner Cable right now.
Man that thing sucks. I'd almost rather pirate a show than watch it on that horrible box.
This.
I still haven't caught up with Justified because I missed 1 episode 2 years ago, and I don't have Amazon Prime.
I know there are other ways of watching it, but there are other shows that I can get on demand or on Netflix without any extra effort.
So... someday. Maybe.
Well, when you just lump everything together without making any distinctions, then sure.
But when you put stuff in the cloud that doesn't NEED to be in the cloud, then.. I can see the power grab argument, pretty clear.
Water - has to come from somewhere else. Power - has to come from somewhere else. Internet - again, from outside.
A software program that I download and install on my local machine? How the hell is running that a "service"?
Did anyone really expect anything different from the NSA's two biggest defenders in the House?
I call "bullshit" on this.
I have a number of acquaintances who teach and they say the same thing - they HAVE to report it.
Here's how it works: teacher sees it, immediately turns away and pretends she didn't see it. Then... nothing else happens.
Teachers are just as guilty as the admins for hiding behind the whole 'I have no choice" crap.
My wife's friend said she heard a kid make some joke about his dad "beating him if he did that" - she said she knew it was obviously just a joke. And yet... she reported it anyway. Because she "had" to.
No brains. No judgement. No backbone.
I think 'sudo' is appropriate here.
Root access to everything, handing out privilege as they see fit.
In the grand scheme of things, 1000 books isn't really that many.
The shit in a college bookstore that gets re-purchased every year because the previous year's edition had a typo is by FAR a bigger waste of money and paper.

I was going to post the same thing - I'm glad you got it in as the first comment.
Is there something special about this mall?
Has the Kenyan version of the FBI been to mall shootings in America? Ever?
Somehow I doubt it.
"Based on that data alone it may be difficult but give it enough samples the current algorithms can actually make some pretty darn good predictions that even you may not be even aware off yourself."
Agreed. Remember Target predicting a girl was pregnant? That was almost 2 years ago. I'm sure NSA had that kind of stuff well before Target, and far better predictive capacity now.
On the other hand
Even if she had a "professional" email account, what's to say she would use it regarding anything that was shady/embarrassing/etc?
Sure, it would be better if she had it - you can't always predict what emails are going to look bad later on - but the idea underlying the whole news-freakout on this is that if she had a different email account, nothing shady or insecure would be possible.
Which is just silly.
Also, has anyone asked NSA to fill in the blanks for us?
