It would be more like if robots searched your house and no human was allowed to look at what they collected without a warrant.

It seems like the distinction that the NSA is trying to make is that, it's not illegal to possess the data, only to look at it. That argument may even extend to automatic processes that aren't seen by human eyes, who knows. If you

You bring up a good point. It's common knowledge that most countries have laws about spying on their own citizens, but not citizens of other nations. Furthermore, global intelligence organizations freely share intelligence. They have b

I suspect that the type of person who is capable of becoming a whistle-blower, is also a lot less institutionalized. I'm not surprised that he didn't finish high school, if he is an extremely critical thinker. There are a ton of t

It's funny that many modern style rules are the exact opposite of these ones.

I wonder how it would be if we eliminated yellow lights altogether and instead had a countdown on the green light. At the very least it might save gas, as you could see that the green light ahead will turn red long before you could hope to

It is a common misconception that officers have quotas to issue a certain amount of tickets per month. The quota is actual for how many traffic stops they make. You'll see behavior like this from cops who haven't met their quota, but it's n

It won't necessarily endanger the public if they add more delay between one light turning red and the other turning green.

Do you really thing the law will "catch up"? It seems that things are headed in the opposite direction, and I don't see changing course anytime soon.

I once worked in a place where the size and location of someones office was so important that it seemed more important then getting work done or the success of the company. It was really sad and my coworkers often seemed like a bunch of chi

There is something to be said for running your software on multiple environments. There is also something to be said for stubbing out pieces of your stack for testing and development purposes. There is often a lot to be learned. That said,

The author doesn't like that it is written in tcl/tk. I have no idea how this would matter at all unless he plans on modifying the source. I happen to like gitk and use it often. What language it's implemented is of little concern to me. At

If they are already suspicious of you, then you've already lost. In the above scenario, voidnull's dna or fingerprints would have to be cataloged for them to find him.

Then why the farce of matching your signature with the signature on the back of the credit card? Or if you don't sign the credit card, asking for an ID? It always makes me laugh when the high school student making minimum wage checks my sig

There is an important lesson that many "gifted" people don't learn until later in life (myself included). Being gifted is like having a head start in a marathon. It is minuscule compared to the results of hard work and nothing to be proud o

Why Mac, Windows and Chromebook, but not Linux? There must be some proprietary code? I bet it won't run on an unlocked Chromebook either.

This is what he's done though. I think that he'd like to be more than a programmer.

I hate it when people put their feet up on tables, especially near my person. If you did that around me I'd just think you were an asshole.

apparently `lp -o raw -d "<yourprintername>" <FILE>` should print the pcl to your printer. I couldn't get it to work though. Maybe you're printer has to speak pcl. I tried cups-pdf (virtual printer) with no success.

Like anything in life, you have to make a judgement. There is no silver bullet. Tests are very painful to maintain in all but the most well understood problems. There is a ton of great software we all rely on that doesn't have much testing.
