It was like 'I'm gonna go here.' and then totally changed it's mind at the last minute and went to a site about bomb making instead.
That happens to me all the time too. Here I am reading blog comments about some intelligence agency overreach, and the next minute, somebody posts a recipe for an explosive (?) in answer to another comment. I think it mentioned liquid Dawn soap and styrofoam.
Re: Re: Re: Surely they are trying to prove the wrong thing!
In theory, it's to dissuade copycats, not protests. Note, the Chinese don't care what you say online as long as you're not trying to start a demonstration. Perhaps this's the same thing.
If the report admits torture went on, and torture's illegal, shouldn't the Federal Bureau of Investigation be investigating whether crimes have been committed and charges may need to be laid, by at least reading the report?
I've done better than this with procmail scripts splitting incoming mail into separate mailboxes (or round-filing it). Certainly calling "koran_search() $parameter" isn't quite rocket science. They can't use the tools they have.
Whatever happened to Universities being bastions of free speech and centers for debate?
Add to that all that reverence for knowledge stuff; fact based reality & etc. Hypothetical: you walk up to another person on the street who you've never seen before who is chatting with another person. You tell them to shut up and show some ID. This is what UR just did to YY. This is their legal dept. talking for the administration. Sad.
Nope, you're not alone. Legality ought to be what we use to stop things like this happening. It's failing, affecting the situation fairly negatively. If you're not supposed to get into mass surveillance, how did you get into mass surveillance, and how did you not know you were into mass surveillance?
That's just ecstatically funny on many levels. Copyright enforcers and spies have been known to insert typos in order to track sensitive documents back to their leakers.
For many, it's always been easy to toss morals when money's involved. Few of us can honorably aspire to sainthood. We don't actually breed for that trait.
I love how they point that out even though it means absolutely nothing at all.
That's okay. The RCMP and Parliament will happily enforce it for them (plus C-51(?) ffs). We're getting our own PATRIOT Act soon. The FBI needn't open up any local branch offices. We're Five Eyes safe, after all. Everybody watches everybody. So, I'm on Debian testing/jessie, and I've downloaded "Yes: Big Generator Full Album" via "youtube-dl", a FLOSS thingie which comes with Debian. How do I now burn that onto a blank DVD (I don't have any blank CDs). I used to own a legally purchased version on cassette tape (though that's "immaterial"). I'm using the Mate desktop and Fluxbox interchangably.
I've never done this before. YouTube let me DL it. I'm sure there's a way to burn an mp4 onto a blank disk. HP sold the hardware to do it. I'm in Canada and we pay a tax on blank media to cover this. Is this legal, or can I be sued?
Silly to have to care about @#$ like this on a sunny spring Sunday in the privacy of my home, and I'm hardly offending in any way the way the NSA is, yes? Cheers.
Apparently material uploaded from different sources but matching digitally are only stored once, the duplicates being removed.
This's basic Unix (at least) filesystem behaviour. Type "man ln" on a Linux box. Just increment the link count every time you need to store this, then decrement when any owner releases it. We didn't always have 128GB storage in something we can hang around our necks.
How come these ISPs don't support linux? If you call tech support to trouble shoot ...
... their HellDesk will desperately attempt to understand what language you're speaking, then try to find the relevant responses canned for them into the support database (note they may not even be native English speakers, but this needn't be a problem).
Linux (Unix) users long ago learned it was up to themselves to learn and understand what they need to know to make things happen. I don't expect Win*/Apple types to understand Linux/Unix technical minutia ("ifconfig? Don't you mean ipconfig?"), not when all they have to work with is GUI wizards wrapping the complexity (good for them; feature!), backed up with corporate massaged-for-mere-users "Help".
I should be able to control my hardware the way I want to. Right Sony?
Yes, you should. Well, you ought to be able to, but Sony's a special case of thieves. I prefer to not give my hard earned cash to vendors who presume the right to re-write the deal after the sale. You thought you were buying mere hardware, and they presumed you were buying into "The Sony Way." Your mistake, or "just don't buy from those who pull !@# like that!".
It is quite easy to work with both MS and Apple tech support if you understand their limitations. You may need to throw away most of what they say and dredge for details, but they can both be useful, even if they appear to have no clue as to what's going on at the moment.
TL;DR: if you're a Linux/Unix user, you know what you're doing, no sympathy if you don't. It's not others' fault if it doesn't work. It's yours.
The USA didn't invent this, nor are they the worst . The European colonial empires, the Romans, Egyptians, ... It's an old game. I'm disappointed the USA wasn't able to defend itself, so far. The fox got in, and us chickens are being ravaged.
Fast Track Would Strengthen Congressional Oversight
Awesome. This is faulty circular reasoning and incorrect on its face. Shoving something through the system quickly without appropriate consideration = more oversight. OK...
Yabut, "Fast Track" sounds so ... dynamic! It must be better!
People actually fall for this stuff. Fox News and MSNBC are probably nodding their heads right now.

Not even that. In all the time they had it, and all the text processing juju the TLAs have, none of it mentioned that quote was from the Koran?
