they had evidence pointing to a location. this does not mean the resident of the nearest house is culpable. perhaps the thief was walking by at the time. theres a lot of leeway I feel you may be overlooking.

if the NPR take was too dry his recent colbert report appearance may do the trick: www.hulu.com/watch/269531/the-colbert-report-kevin-mitnick

the reason snitches talk is because they ran out of ways to avoid prosecution, so i feel the innocent would be the minority in that group, as the police wouldn't have anything on them to compel cooperation.

true. so, test the color of one or two squares detected as empty at random and extrapolate the rest. my point was simply that the pattern rarely changes, and a corner will be white-black or black-white and from that you can determine which

"For example, the program is able to determine whether each square is white or black by calculating its average color and comparing it to the black and white colors" I bet you could get away with determining the color of a corner square and

rephrased, the proper way to ask a favor of a public radio show is on a note attached to your listener pledge, not an online petition that has little to do with the making of good radio, a task i imagine consumes the majority of TAL's energ

"As a result, sophisticated players do not actually want the jackpot to be paid out - unless it is going to them." if they were truly sophisticated they would enjoy it just the same whoever it went to.

"I would be having lawyers talk to you if we were doing anything malicious." -- this seems like the type of defense that a good lawyer would tell you never to use.

you couldn't find a show like this on commercial radio if you tried.

i can't speak to the differences between the .js objects, but the difference between the two platforms is in how you interact with your projects. vvvv is realtime, using WIMP driven interactive patch design. it's more analogous to pd or max

glad to hear the most powerful and connected office in the world has begun to admit to having a sense of humor.

well the live interaction part is a function of design; this doesn't look like it'll be as good for experimenting and creating new patches as your desktop remains, but it does look like a great way to get some of the cool stuff i've only se

"I'm not sure if it is SOP, or the Secret Service thought they were dealing with violent criminals" seems possible the bulk of them had first learned about hackers at the same time they learned about the raid -- perhaps from someone who exa

the randomize button is a lot smarter than it looks. is there or can there be a 'download .wav' button?

every act of civil disobedience can be construed as a more petty crime, if you squint. i believe gandi was guilty of loitering but that's not the salient part of his action, philosophically speaking.

its of course a reasonable assumption to infer it was for personal gain, but it's not mentioned in the article, and the gossip column it sourced the info from is registration only.

the article doesn't mention if he did this for personal gain, but certainly goes out of it's way to call bitcoin a racket that's associated with drugdealing. an IT employee running a program on a server doesn't seem like misconduct to me!

"technics 1200s will no longer be made" trope resurfaces regularly and continues to be implausible and innacurate. its a huge cash cow, a worldwide standard, and well made to boot.
