It depends. If you're a public place in the USA, I'm generally free to photograph you walking, talking on your cell phone, etc. Whereas if I walked up to you, grabbed your cell phone, and ran away with it, that's generally frowned upon by the law.
Dear mods,
The parent post is funny, not offtopic.

No, Kubuntu is not a fork of Ubuntu. They share the same apt repos, release schedules, etc. The only difference between the two is which desktop packages are installed by default.
It could be useful if you could install an app while denying it some of the rights it wants. Of course that could make the app unstable and useless, but at least you had the option to do so and it was your own free choice.
I agree in principle, but I think this would make life suck for developers. Would you really want to deal with the inevitable people saying "I paid for this app and it doesn't work" when the only reason your app doesn't work is because these same people didn't grant it the necessary rights? Supporting software is hard enough as is; we don't need to make it even easier for well-intentioned—but not technically-minded—folks to break things.
What about Half Life? Is this franchise dead or something?
I'm afraid the franchise has reached its half-life.
So it's only mostly dead? There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.
Heh heh, I was thinking exactly the same the thing.
However, Google also says that Android code should use four-space indents.
"Doing the right thing" and not stealing isn't moral relativism.
And pirating movies isn't stealing. Stealing means I deprive someone else of their property. Copying said property is a different matter entirely.
No marketing drone is worth hundreds or thousands of times what a sewer worker is worth. Yet our society says they are.
I think there is a contradiction here. Worth is precisely what society says it is, no more and no less.
So, taxes pay for the roads, the sidewalks, etc. If you pay taxes, and you park where these fucking abominations are, then you get the pleasure of paying another tax
Do you use the same complaint against toll roads?
Yes.
Is is there there an an echo echo in in here here??
How is the parent flamebait? Down mods are not meant to express the moderator's disagreement with the moderatee's opinion!
andLinux only supports 32-bit versions of Windows, for one thing. I'd like to give it a spin on my 64-bit Windows 7 desktop, but I can't. Cygwin may not be ideal, but it has the advantage of actually being usable by me.
Yeah, that's a fair point. I think a lot of it is history. It used to be much harder to get someone's personal information than it is now. Society's institutions haven't kept up with this increasingly open, public world. I agree that technology is the right place to look for a solution, but I think such technology will only gain ready acceptance when it's accompanied by a shift in society's views.
Oh yeah? Well, your mom is an Earth-sized body with an oxygen-rich atmosphere. If you know what I mean.
