So, in a nutshell, Aaron hacked an MIT computer, downloaded JSTOR articles, was charged with all sorts of fraud charges, declined a plea bargain, faced 35 years in prison, and then hanged himself in his apartment.
Tragic on many levels for sure.

I really enjoy this forum, and as such, I wish to observe the rules. Please either send me a "private message" or email to: toolshedamps@gmail.com
Thanks for your understanding,
TS Matt.
Ahm wink wink! Gotcha!

The Aaron Swartz doc is incredible and very chilling. I recall the events, especially the anti-SOPA crusade which I actively supported. But somehow this giant remains almost unknown. He should have a large statue. Yes, it is long...but watch anyway.

Can you provide a brief synopsis? I plan to watch it this evening. But, for this discussion, it would be nice to have an idea of it. Is it about IP?

I like the non-committal responses best!

I suppose then, that if the gov says you can't have private data on your phone, you can't have it your head either?
A suspect then could be tied up and administered "truth serum" -- right? That's what we want?

The technologist properly argues that once a tool is created, everyone will have it. Just like the back doors in the internet.
Anything wrong with preventing access except through a judge's order -- in other words, get a warrant?According to you, good. That way, software developers can't prevent unauthorized access to their applications. According to me, bad. Intellectual property rights are a good thing for developers. Further, unrelated to software development, people should be able to communicate using whatever means is available to them to secure their right to privacy.

Suppose the dead terrorist had buried his data in the desert. Can the government require construction companies with lots of digging gear to go dig in the desert to help them find the box, using this all writs law?
Apple says they are not a party to the case.

The obvious next step is for the government to simply capture and torture Tim Cook. They can't lose, he looks wimpy to me.

The kids got some new "glasses"
I meant to say earlier, those are far and away the coolest tube amps I ever have seen. They have just the right vibe. Well done Mr. Tool Shed.

Most of the people in Bend ARE Californians.
Bend is very nice. I would never want to be that far inland, or that far from a metro area, but if you don't mind rural, it's not a bad place to live or die. For the same money you could live in a decent coastal area like, Florence though.

There's nothing to hide. Old political science is bad, and new is better. The old Framers were slavers, and new ones would not be. The old Framers designed very poor popular representation, and new ones would not. Old Framers prevented females from voting, new ones would not.Why would you be trying to avoid the concise argument here in this thread by rambling on about unrelated events in another thread, unless you just had no case at all? Everything I have posted here is simple, straight forward. It doesn't rely on any other thread. That's why I said "in this thread."
The relevance is very clear. You can't hide behind a pretend "thread-barrier."
Duck Dodgers.
Pretty simple.

Exactly, why would you rely on some anonymous government bureaucrat to provide your housing, food, water, and healthcare. Sounds like a good way to end up dead.I would love to have those rights here. Which was the point I was making about old versus new blue prints.
You do realize that the piece of paper merely says they have those rights. Have you investigated what life is actually like over there? What's the point of the prison warden telling me how "free" I am?
You too are making the same error in logic as old TeX. A constitutional right doesn't how it is accomplished.

Well duh. Why are you continuing to conflate the blue print with the building? It's illogical.

I've heard a lot about the Swartz documentary, but have not watched it yet. I will probably see it soon.
How is Comey planning on accomplishing this new law? I assume it will be national security related? He has been grumbling very loudly of late.

Ha ha! Very good. But I'd be happy to trade copy protection for my own ability to keep my digital information completely private under any and all circumstances. So, I say, bad, very bad!According to you, good. That way, software developers can't prevent unauthorized access to their applications.

The leaders of the FBI wasn't to make encryption illegal. I suppose by making the same of software illegal.
Specifically, they want to deny citizens the right to encrypt a computer file, or disc, tablet, or phone.
Is that a good idea or bad?

Again with the conspiracy theories? Where do you get this stuff?
The Constitution, as amended, is the law. You are criticizing something which was long ago superseded.I think it is far simpler than is being made out. Our Founders ratified a Constitution permitting slavery, and no suffrage for women. That alone, with no more analysis, defines an old set of ideas by men who could think no better. A modern Constitution, from modern thinkers, would have no such hurdles to over come.
Anyway, if you are unable to see the inconsistency in your various positions concerning restrictions on government and conspiracy-theories, then, there is little left to argue. I am not in your shoes, but when I spot myself being inconsistent or confused, I tend to admit it. It keeps me open-minded and capable of learning.
I haven't mentioned any conspiracy here. But I did demonstrate easily that old is not virtuous when it comes to blueprints for a nation.
Whenever you are flummoxed you resort to an escape hatch of yelling "conspiracy theory." Find the conspiracy theory in this thread and quote it.

Gee, we eventually fixed slavery and women's suffrage. I wonder how long it wolf take to get to this Bill of Rights?
By comparison, the modern Constitution of S.A>From Wiki:
The tort of nuisance has existed since the reign of Henry III, with few changes, and most of them merely technical.[5] It originally came from the Latin nocumentum, and then the French nuisance, with Henry de Bracton initially defining the tort of nuisance as an infringement of easements.[6] The tort was in line with the economic status quo of the time, protecting claimants against their neighbours' rights to develop land...

Look at all those rights. Wow! I wonder how they're doing over there.
Once more, I invite you to consider that a blue print is not the building.
