Re: Re: Re: Another politician overstepping his authority
I think you meant "locking a phone is still interference"... and in my idealistic mind that makes sense. I'm doubting idealism has anything to do with FCC regulations, though.
I was hoping for 'evoking images of Homer Simpson' kind of funny.. but well... hehe
If I turned off the device they would know I'm trying to prevent them from reaching me... which is bad, cause we have to "care". I'm hoping for an alibi in Uncle Sam....
One "bad" provision can and should kill a bill if it cannot be purged. If by "amend" you mean "redact" then yes, that's one way to skin this cat. Either way, we fight from here, while we continue to watch the incessant, very non-academic pro-IP ranting on TV and on message boards.
Actually I think cell phone jamming has to do with emitting inverse radio signals in the car, as opposed to putting a motion sensor locking mechanism in the phone itself. Same as a radar jammer and similar to noise cancellation.
Please pass this now, and make sure a locked phone gives any caller the message "the person you are trying to reach is forbidden by law to discuss your paltry concerns". I know a lot of on-call professionals who will spend their entire evening driving around just to get some sleep. Now if I can just teach my dog to toss the damned phone around fast enough, I can have a peaceful dinner...
I just don't understand how this group voted together, some of the most liberal senators; Feingold and Frankin, some of the most conservative; Sessions, Cornyn and Kyl, and Spector in the middle?! WTF?
Did I just hear a veil dropping? You might want to go on a safe bender and purge your brain to assist the reset.
You can add the retiring Sen. Voinovich of Ohio to that list. He co-authored this bill and in his response to my letter seemed proud that the "process would be made fair by industry representatives interfacing with the DOJ".
He also "looks forward to working with Rob Portman", who will take over his seat, to move this bill forward.
So you can probably add incoming Sen. Portman of Ohio too.
I also wrote to the other Ohio Senator, Sherrod Brown, who, while citing industry statistics, at least made mentioned the 1st amendment concerns in his response.
The only way MITM works is if the 2 users have never spoken to each other before, has no trusted 3rd party who can vouche for them, or has no secure medium (something other than the internet) to do an inital introduction.
Pretty nice response. For general Internet activity (https/ssl), those first time connections are definitely the most vulnerable to MITM since without the authentic key, the rogue can present its own key, with the proper name, and bogus/dirty cert authority. This would appear OK to the browser if the user clicked accept for the bogus CA or if it were somehow already on the trusted list.
Still chances are pretty low, if this situation were intentional, that this is what the Chinese intended to do.
whatever they want, because I've got nothing to hide.
Tyrants and witch-hunters throughout history heartily agree.
Just because you have nothing to hide doesn't mean the rest of us want to give up the tattered remains of our individual rights. If we let the 4th go, due process will follow.
None of it really matters. Airlines and airports are private organizations, and can do what they please, even if they are swayed by the government.
While I appreciate your respect of private ownership, it is apparent the TSA is a government agency which does not represent the private carriers. I'm highly skeptical any airline would want for their regular market to be decimated.
Well its like your going to stand their for 5 or 10 minutes to get checked, its more exposure if you were at the doctors office or hospital and having tests
There are people who regularly fly, but even going for annual checkups I might get an x-ray once every few years on average, mostly dental. It is the effects of regular, repeated exposure to the doses radiated by these machines that has not been studied and logically leaves room for question.
Similarly, recursion doesn't occur except in mathematics; it's *fiction*, as is all mathematics which isn't directly instanced in reality. God made only integers, and only *positive* integers at that. Don't get me started.
Fractally Wrong. You need to get outside and look at nature a little more often. You might be right on one count though... the devil clearly made up negative integers.
Everyone just wants the government to enforce their own version of what they think the rules should be. People who claim they want "less" government are full of crap and just want differently focused rules.
She called the TSA out on HER radio program (not "a radio program"), a public forum. They responded in a public forum. Seems to be in the spirit of the Confrontation Clause, in my opinion.
The TSA is a government agency, not some idiot with a microphone. They should have at least consulted their legal or public relations expert (assuming they have one) before impulsively lashing out in self-defense -- which makes them look guilty.
The whole TSA situation really is odd. Government is usually in the business of protecting and capturing markets...
