In the book 1984, all old media which may show the governing entities to be wrong or doing poorly are destroyed and replaced with articles that showed the ruling elite in always positive light.
I saw their hardware crash in value over the past 5 years. Their decision to exclude VARs from business cost everyone money. I never knew they could be a team player?
And aren't they just waiting to be bought by someone who just wants their patents and java?
What if you made a CD and it didn't sell because people were afraid there were rootkits embedded in it so they couldn't put it in their computer. And then they didn't want to download the music because they could be kicked off the net.
What is left?
Or imagine if there was just SO LITTLE INTEREST that NOBODY wanted your music for free?
How bad of an artist do you have to be to not be able to give away your music?
Piracy should be a popularity measuring tool, not an enemy. Clearly if a band has one of the top piracy rates in the world a label should try to pick them up and market for them for merchandise.
Just because a portion of the population is allergic to something doesn't make it newsworthy. I am allergic to pollen. It doesn't mean I advocate burning all the flowers down, or putting barriers around every flower and then putting up signs around gardens warning people.
Radio has been around for close to a century. I am sure that if EM sensitivity were real we would heard bitching about it long before now.
If you find it and destroy it are you liable for destroying public property? What if they used anti-curcumvention methods to prevent you from taking it off of your car? Are you breaking DMCA?
No it is different by cost. GPS trackers cost about $300. That cost does not go up with time. You can track someone for an entire year for the cost of hiring one person to follow the suspect for a day.
Because this kind of high level surveillance is now so cheap, that the balance between enabling law enforcement and protecting citizen privacy has completely shifted to one side.
Chuck Pelto, maybe your comments didn't disappear because they were too controversial, it's just that they are so non-sequitur that they were filtered as spam.
It sucked. Not because the new algorithms are so much better, but because you had no idea what the key ideas/ key words were.
Understanding that all media have different context for the same words means you need to organize words into contexts and learn words that are used only in specific context.
But then again I never went to college. So maybe I am just google using retard.
I apologize if I don't have the most rock solid arguments. But let me share where I am coming from.
I know several people who were sexually abused as children. The guilt, shame and humiliation do not just go away. They will never be able to just forget it. 1 in 4 people are sexually abused in the US.
After you have learned the stories of your family, friends or significant other, you cannot help but be outraged.
Why I rbought up homosexuality: Many pedophiles try to pull the argument out that pedophilia is just another form of sexual orientation and that they shouldn't be persecuted for their beliefs. I felt that "Mr pedo" aka "Old guy" was heading down that line of thought.
As you may or may not know, back in the 1950's it was a crime to be homosexual. People were sentenced to chemical castration for their crimes. Now we mostly accept homosexuality as a choice, not a mental sickness or defect.
"Oh so its ok if 18 year olds have sex with 12 year olds?" Do you think that the 18 year old is on equal terms as a 12 year old? Do you feel like they have a similar level of mental development? I don't. Have you ever spoken to an average 15 year old female? The next time you are at the DMV, just note how the girls getting their permits and licenses for the first time are acting. They are children in all senses of the word.
I know that in a majority of the European countries, 16 is the legal age of consent. I know that this age works for some cultures but maybe not for all cultures.
American courts, law makers and citizens have settled on the age of 18 with a plethora of exceptions. It is not a magical number, it is just the age at which most people graduate from high school and pregnant teen drop outs that cannot support themselves are longer an issue.
Mr. Pedo said "Namely... its not really a problem, but everyone loves to make it out to be."
I can understand that some might think, that like homosexuality, our culture will just become more tolerant.
The difference is that homosexuality is between adults who are old enough to make informed decisions about who they are and what they are doing with their life.
In the case of a pedophile, they are asking someone who doesn't have to the right to say yes. They don't have the right because they are not old enough to manage that kind of decision yet.
This is why there are laws that prevent old guys from nailing 14 year old girls.
With an age difference of that much, you get into issues of power balance. Namely a relationship these days are supposed to be equal. If one partner is old enough to be a parent, you don't have equality you have a sex slave.
If you think that is bad...
Maybe they don't want palm.
Maybe they want to focus on improving their ipaq line and want to make sure Palm doesn't just sue the pants off of them for innovating.
Re: It... could... work...
How about tiny MRIs?
Hmmm

Maybe the guardian is just preparing for 1984.
Proven to be BS...
Why not just disable Wifi broadcasting and tell the neighbor that his cell phone is on airplane mode.
It's not like the looney can tell if it is on or not.
Sun is sponsoring? With what money?

Take a Claritin and STFU.

Aren't there other, legal ways to disrupt cellular service? Like heavy metal based coatings on the roof of the building?

Re: Greatness comes in waves
IBM is still huge. They just got out of consumer side of things into the higher margin server side.
Probably better this way, for them otherwise we'd have a monopoly on our hands.
Stress and shame.
Have a device that can detect lingering scents of fear, shame and guilt. You will either hit paydirt with 'cybercrime'...
or find out that, yes it is indeed true, for every conceivable fetish there is a porn for it.
Do you remeber being trying to search for something?

Fortunately the cakes shadow is a lie. The cake was just on the other side of the cube.
Laws.
Can we just outlaw stupidity altogether?
In response.
