Prior to this year I don't think I would have been able to comprehend how a person could both be president and not president at the same time. Looking at Trump though, it totally makes sense. That man is not an American President; and yet he is...
I agree about taking fingerprints upon arrest, but if they haven't accessed the devices, they haven't found the evidence needed for an arrest, right? It gets into a circular bit of logic where we suspend your rights so we can attain evidence needed to suspend your rights. That onus is supposed to fall on the cops to first have enough proof.
I certainly hope your better world does not include signature elements of this flawed world such as: Oceans, Atmosphere, Gravity, or Sunlight. Otherwise gird yourself for a lawsuit.
Maybe this case will get us some clarification on what ICE and CBP are supposed to be looking for in their searches: items or information. I don't think either of these agencies is charged with restricting the flow of information over our borders. The arrangement of bits on a device should be of no interest to them, only the physical devices themselves.
impose new unnecessary and arbitrary usage caps (read: price hikes) without any competitive reaction by the broken market.
Not just price hikes on bit delivery, there's motive beyond simple cash grabs. It's anti-competitive behavior in the otherwise competitive content industry, using the established broken market to further break other sectors.
Okay, fair point on warning people with warrants not to seek shelter. But then I have to ask, what actually WAS the point of the statement? To look tough on crime while actually doing nothing worthwhile about it? To dissuade "undesirable" people from using valuable emergency resources? To endanger entire classes of people who are justifiably scared of interactions with the police?
Regardless of your opinion of them, all people are still human beings with natural rights.
This is the kinda statement that makes sense in a context where police would rather shoot a suspect than let them escape pursuit. Authority is not paramount, we give police authority to protect the public good. I think most people would agree that public safety in a disaster is more important than cashing in a bunch of warrants that weren't worth executing before the storm hit.
Yes, I had that thought about their restructuring too. But the Google subsidiary still does Android, YouTube, and various other things which are related but not completely centered on web search.
But you don't likely refer to generic searching as "googling," do you? We're looking for the subset who don't use Google and don't know they don't use Google.
And don't worry, it's no so much that Google is watching you; just that Google is everywhere and knows everything. Better?
Preface: I'll never be a Verizon Wireless customer again and I've been trying to explain for years that there is no such thing as "unlimited" and Verizon et al shouldn't be selling it because they can't provide it.
I wouldn't have thought this was a big deal a few weeks ago. I'm normally an advocate of "Stop. Think. Your screen isn't big enough to warrant 4k." That's because you probably don't sit close enough. But my wife just got a new phone and a vr headset came with it. I assumed it was a gimick, but I tried it out with a few videos. WOW. I was blown away with the effect, and as we get displays with higher PPI there will be a need for higher resolution content. Frankly, a 5 inch device strapped to my face needs higher resolution than a 10 inch tablet on my lap. Default policies based on device size isn't a good way to prioritize network requirements.
I'm always conflicted about promotions like that. On the one hand, sure it's doing some good in a world that needs more good. On the other hand, I can just donate some money myself and you could be charging 10% less. Also then I'd get the tax write-off, not you.
I think it's also worth nothing that this picture was popular to begin with BECAUSE it was a monkey, not Slater, that created it. If he'd managed to make the same image with his own hands it wouldn't have achieved the same notoriety. Sure it was a good picture and he could have made some money, but it wouldn't have been a lottery ticket.
LOL, so Copyright Cartel has been bribing the wrong committee? Start up Yakety Sax while a lobbyist runs around with a big bag of cash, throwing bills at people before the music stops.
