Not according to Kim Kardashian.

It's defaulted to off though, and probably a majority of Android users don't know it exists or are locked out of changing it by their carrier (without rooting it) in the US.

Pre WP7 there wasn't any code signing necessary, so deploying to WM6.5 and below was as simple as it is on a Windows PC.

In Texas they use three tests to confirm suspicion and give you a ride in one of their fancy jail taxis. Breathalyzers tend to be one of those three tests.

Nothing holds up in court, however, unless you either submit to a blood test or refuse one (which in Texas is an admission of guilt).

Actually, regardless of income or popularity, I was merely giving an example of less than objective media from both sides of the fence.

Wow, I would love to know where your statistics on education level of sheeple (liberal or conservative) come from. I think you're way off.

Meh, I don't think he's really any of those. Just a guy looking for shock value to sell viewership/listenership, and it works.

Either way I can't stand to listen to anything he says, or Amy Goodman for that matter. People who push their agenda through "news" irritate the crap out of me.

It's not that the systems are poorly designed (filesystem access, and hell, Oracle DB has its own filesystem), it's poorly designed DBAs who think that because the system needs it, they need it too.

Nah, just a guy concerned that we're a generation or two away from people who knew how to do this kind of stuff.

So far I can make beer, butter, mayonnaise and soap. Not all that useful yet, but I'm getting there.

And for the sodium hydroxide, drip water through ashes (hardness of wood tends to determine hardness of the lye). Soap is pretty dadgum easy to make.

My calculus class in college wasn't a lecture class, thank goodness. We were able to interact with the prof, ask questions during the lesson, and learned much more (and quicker) for all that.

A video lecture class on calculus would be helpful, but not nearly as helpful as having the professor interact right there to the 20 or so students in the room.

Damaging the primary submission system could be a range of things, but given the accusation I'd say they sound more than suspiciously similar.

So I suppose you can believe his own words or not... up to you.

The final question in the grilling by Reps. Chris Smith and Bill Keating to Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg...

"So, how much does this cost and why don't we have it in place here already?"

Criminal vs Civil. Lawsuits are civil, what was flawed there was the criminal system.

Our justice system allows for people to go to court when they feel like they've been wronged. That's not flawed.

The problem is companies like Sony abusing that right. I hope they get their backsides handed to them and additional fines for wasting the court's time.

I don't think you're really reading what Jeremiah is saying. This guy admits to removing a component guaranteeing the anonymity of leakers. On top of that, he's taken with him backlogged (read: not yet published) leaked documents. Assange's alleged wrongdoing has nothing to do with the functionality and business model of the site/company.

Now, strangely, if this guy was a programmer and the component was software, all they would need to do is go to their SCR and put the code back in.. and possibly some data cleanup (redaction of names of leakers). If it was hardware, then plug it back in. If it's damaged, the author of the story needs to report that.
