The question is whether prisoners who don't have someone to speak in their name in front of law makers will be housed in ethically designed buildings that might cost more.

Yeah but I was trying to show that the true problem was AT&T's negligence and not Weev pointing it out to the people. Probably not the most perfect analogy, but analogies have limits of expression.

This is unbelievable!

> I don't think the punishment fits the crime in this case, but I don't think he's entirely innocent either. In this case there is no crime. And I repeat this again, AT&T was behaving like http://www.mailina

False. There is an expectation of privacy in a public bathroom even if it doesn't specify that cameras are not allowed.

Mostly. Seems like AT&T is operating like http://www.mailinator.com/ where you can access anything using an ID without a password.

by walid 13y ago
WRONG! "Brute force" is literally an attack. However what AT&T did was only use the equivalent of usernames just like http://www.mailinator.com/ does.

by walid 13y ago
A perfect implementation of what AT&T did is this service: http://www.mailinator.com/ As you can see all emails are accessible without a password, just a username. This is what was required to get the customers' da

True when you say that there can be data left out in public by mistake without public access authorization. However it is not the responsibility of the accessing entity to preserve this data private. An analogy is if your bank left your mon

Its not what people can know about you, but rather how much of what they know is controlled by you. You can put out there all the info you want to make public, but if you change your mind, facebook will still keep your data.

Interesting idea! You're making me wonder if someone intentionally violates the TOS by, for example, uploading porn if they would delete the account. Facebook does delete accounts that it considers spam so they might just delete such a

Although the analogy doesn't suck and while the article points out: Google had previously pledged to destroy all data collected in this manner - but admitted last year that it had "accidentally" retained the additional discs

Right on!

Since the article says: Google had previously pledged to destroy all data collected in this manner - but admitted last year that it had "accidentally" retained the additional discs Then Google will likely just delete the data sinc

But this isn't data theft. It is more like suing someone for sexual harassment because they looked at you while you were parading naked in front of everyone. We currently don't have a Wi-Fi signal or setting that says "Do Not

Moxie Marlinspike always surprises me with his clear and rigorous train of thought. His example of addressing same sex relationships and how even though they were illegal at a time shows why ominous surveillance comes at the expense of peop

I'm sorry but you're overlooking that this is already the case with Flash. Our other alternative to Flash is to use a native app. Both ways are not web friendly in that they both completely rely on closed standards. This is one of my gripes

I disagree with all of you previous commentators. DRM in the browser already exists and it is called Flash. This is also the reason why Adobe is still supporting Flash and wants to bring it to other platforms other than the browser. http:/

The way I see it is if DRM is going to be managed in Firefox and Chrome then it wouldn't necessarily block a determined person from circumventing it. Both browsers are open source. HTML5 DRM will only stop people from using regular copy/pas

You didn't see any proof because headlines are only attention grabbers, not necessarily in line with the article. On another note, heaven might exist. We still can't explain consciousnesses which is what we lose when we die. Some scientists
