What should law enforcement do in cases like this?
Serious question: What should law enforcement do in cases like this? Law enforcement is attempting to identify suspects who are trafficking in child porn. The suspects use TOR to anonymize their identity and location. Law enforcement can deploy snooping tools planted on the suspects computers to unmask their identity and location. Does law enforcement need to get a warrant in every court jurisdiction where a suspect may be located? That sets the bar extremely high
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portlandia_%28statue%29 Paid for with public money and private donations but the artist retained the copyright. The solution is obvious. Move all of this publicly funded art into a dark warehouse where nobody can violate the copyright.
I don't mind the ads so much as I mind the third party scripts, distracting animations and squandered bandwidth. Some of the commercial sites will have over two dozen third party sites serving up javascript, flash and who knows what else. Perhaps we could ask the NoScript developer to add an "Export List" function that would export a list of the third party sites and the name of the scripts. Then email the list to these blowhards asking why they need so many different third party scripts and what security measures they have in place to prevent malware from being served using their website. Name them and shame them.
Seems like every time I am somewhere that has ESPN on the TV it's talking heads bloviating about the NFL and occasionally the NBA. In my non random cord cut sample from the sports bars and pizza joints I visit, ESPN has more NFL related programming than all other sports combined. I rarely see baseball, tennis, soccer or other sports covered by this channel.
I cut the cord years ago and don't miss the river of effluent. Talking heads pontificating about football year round, boringly predictable sitcoms with punchlines so lame they have to tell you when to laugh, Crime dramas with nearly invincible über criminals, So called reality shows, infotainment masquerading as news ... When the content creators succeed in making something decent the show succumbs to cookie cutter scripts, car chases and machine guns after a couple of seasons. Google "Why I hate Star Trek" and read about how some writers "Fill in the tech".
There are only four bases in DNA: Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine. These form base pairs of AT and GC which are the foundation of DNA. There is a lot of repetition in the genetic code. Repetition that should lend itself to substantial data compression.
I have been running Linux at home for a year and a half (Fedora 20, 21 and now 22) In my view the biggest barrier to entry is that the vast majority of Windows users don't know about Linux. I tell people at work that I use Linux and the most common response is "What's that?" I often get the same response when I mention Firefox. The irony is that we have a number of Red Hat Linux servers supporting production.

I had something like this a long time ago. They stick out of the outlet about an inch and a half and with stuff plugged into them they need at least three inches of clearance from the wall, maybe more depending on the power cords. In my world I have lots of "black wall wart" power supplies that I need to plug in. The close spacing of the outlets would accommodate at most two of them and cover up adjacent outlets in the process.
I went to a few plays while working on an IT project there. Every theater was adorned with multiple signs to turn off cell phones, every usher reminded people to turn off cell phones yet people just couldn't be bothered. Brian Dennehy went off on some jerk with a cell phone during a performance of Death of a Salesman. I wasn't there but the story made the local news.
To be fair it was her predecessor Lewis Platt that started the spin off of the instrumentation group to Agilent. The Board of Directors must have supported it or they would have stopped it. By the time Carly came on board I'm not sure she could have prevented it.
All this talk about diamond makes me wonder how hot you have to get a large diamond for it to ignite and burn like a piece of charcoal. Would diamond incorporated into a windshield cause distortion due to its high refractive index? One of the very tough materials is the glue that barnacles and mussels use to attach to a surface. Anyone who has scraped barnacles from the hull of a ship can attest to how tough they are to remove.
AMC is headquartered in NYC. NYC is the center of the universe. The entire universe revolves around NYC. To the staff of AMC there is nothing outside of NYC. A friend of mine who organizes ballroom dance events out west has told me he gets missives from dance clubs that announce events at an address that doesn't include the city or zip code because they assume everyone knows it's in NYC. Or perhaps they were intoxicated by the smell of the subways ...
it's same point being made by cord-cutters who are tired of paying an arm and a leg for an ocean of crap content. "A river of effluent that flows into an ocean of crap." That pretty much describes the products offered by the entertainment industry today.
