Let's find out. As an iPhone user, I presume I have standing and could argue some form of damages. Now, is there a lawyer out there interested in discussing whether there is really any merit to bringing a suit forward? Would / cou

All Global Archery had to do was call up and say: "Hey, we see that you're reselling for one of our competitors. Do you think you and your customers be willing to switch to our product for {X} price?"

Today you do. This may not be the case in the future. We have no idea what the political and technical landscapes will look like in 5, 15, or 25 years. It is not inconceivable that your governmental identification "card" will morp

I agree to a certain degree, but if I understand this particular case correctly, isn't one of the conflicts in this case the difference between general surveillance vs. targeted surveillance? It's one thing to say that "every

This article gives us one passionate side of the situation. It would be nice to be a fly on the wall during the lead up conversations between HarperCollins and Mr. Cole's agent prior to the final decision being made. Perhaps the story

I can't seem to find anything definitive that identifies the legal grounds to claim that the storage of cash in a safety deposit box is illegal in the United States, but I did come across a couple of references that indicated that cert

You'd think that, but I get the idea that you're figuring that there's a relatively even distribution of picked numbers across the entire available set. Historically there's a higher than average representation of number

Each ticket costs $2. Splitting the pot and paying taxes on the lump sum or taxes + time on the annuity means that you likely take a net loss buying all the possible numbers.

I've got an extra Kinect laying around that would be cool to tie into one of these mirror builds. Has anyone had any success hooking a Kinect up to a Raspberry Pi? I've seen threads that discuss a few libraries that are available

Thanks for the link. The timing is suspicious, but it's certainly plausible that while the ATO's actions aren't related to an investigation into Wright's bitcoin holdings, that the Wired article acted as a trigger to mov

"...certainly not a magic invocation that casts the spell of Security +1 across the entire communication..." I appreciate the whole post, but this is such a wonderfully geeky turn of phrase that I have to acknowledge it!
