Eduardo is from Brazil. Perhaps he was referring to this? http://silvervigilante.com/bitcoin-attacked-by-brazils-secur...

What do you think his offence was then? He had the right to access all of the articles he downloaded individually. You seem to be suggesting that he should be prosecuted because he might have distributed them.

So you think people should be prosecuted for something they might do?

I'm sorry but vigilante justice and civil disobedience are quite different concepts. My comment advocated neither. I merely pointed out that pubic prosecutions should only proceed if they are in the public interest. Hardly that radical.

You're describing civil disobedience, not vigilante justice.

Well, before the squatting laws were changed, effectively yes. You had to go to court, get a court order, then if they ignored that then bailiffs and possibly police. Edit: squatting was I believe a special case as squatters gained rights a

I don't think I am proposing vigilante justice, are you confusing comments here perhaps? The intent is absolutely a factor at the decision to prosecute stage. You're trying to equate an act in the public interest (freeing academic informati

Ah thanks, I wasn't aware of that. Squatting was a bad example then, but in general if you have no criminal intent it would still be a civil offence.

"imagine he had downloaded loosely protected private emails or credit card account lists" Respectfully I don't think that's a great argument. That what he did is in the public interest (imo) is central to the issue. You can't just ignore

For what it's worth in the UK that would still be trespass, a civil offence. If you had intent to burgle that would be a crime, but if you had no criminal intent it would stay a civil matter. Edit: removed incorrect example - thanks seebee

Sorry, you misunderstood me on the MAC address point. I was saying only that some here have stated that this should be illegal, which I found a surprising attitude for a technical community. Thank you for the explanation of the difference b

Ok, if we added some text saying 'Login with Facebook' to our login form and then did the above it would be exactly what Spotify are doing. And still illegal.

Oh ok, so the issue is that the person who joins last has information published about them that they may not want published. I can kinda see that but it's not something that would bother me personally. An app like Grindr yeah, but not Quora

I agree that it seems illegal. We have thousands of usernames and passwords for users on our services. If we then tried using these to log into our users facebook accounts in order to install an app of ours we'd be rightly prosecuted. Yet t

Is this true? I hadn't seen this. I've found Facebook specifically don't let you access the emails of a user's friends. Quora could easily receive higher access of course, but this still seems like it shouldn't be possible.

You may well be right. I missed the first discussion when the appeal for legal funds was made. It is disturbing that some are still claiming he broke into the closet when it was unlocked [1], and others here apparently believe that changin

Well yes of course, you shouldn't use the same user:pass for different sites. But a lot of people do, and that opens them up to being hacked if the password for one site is revealed. Spotify are knowingly logging into the OPs Facebook accou

I believe no-one here at the time knew how aggressively he was being treated. If we had known I'd like to think people would have been more supportive.

None of those links actually cite a disadvantage. In fact from the second: "Finally, the authors reiterate that even if you consume “unnecessarily high protein intakes” like 1.3 grams per pound of body weight per day, this still isn’t a ris

I cycled competitively in my teens, and got a few ok results in my speciality (hill climb) at a national level, but not good enough to want to take it any further. Some of the friends I trained with went pro. I trained 400 - 500 miles per w

Those studies all focus on trained individuals. As a novice you would be putting on more muscle than a trained bodybuilder or strength athlete. It's worth pointing out as well that there is no disadvantage to consuming too much protein. S

A short bike ride that burns about 1250 kcal, which is another 50% on top of my normal daily requirements. So not that surprising that I'd need to take in 450 kcal really.

by analog 14y ago
It's 1g per lb of lean weight. That would be for a beginner, trained athletes aren't going to be putting on so much muscle so won't need so much protein. Correct on the steroids and fasting though.

Absolutely this. Everybody's body is different and respond in different ways. You have to work out what works for you .

There's a little more to it than that. When you're in a ketonic state your body burns stored fat rather than carbs. [1] For example for me, normally on a 2 hour bike ride (@ ~120bpm) I would need to drink ~2.5 bottles of glucose drink to ke

Yes, a web development agency, though really any profitable business that could use this. Each hour you spend improving/interating/integrating your DIY app is an hour of developer time that you can't bill for. You'd easily spend over an hou

Build, deploy, host and maintain for an hour per year? I think that might be a bit optimistic. Certainly for an agency to do this will cost them more than an hour of developer time. $120 per year is a steal, OP should add different pricing

You're right about the time it takes to copy. Whenever I've encoded video it's always been a time-consuming process so I wouldn't see this as a major obstacle. As for picture and sound quality being terrible, simply not true. Recording from

It's easy enough to copy a stream with DRM. Point your camcorder at your laptop stream, press record on your camcorder, press play on your laptop.
