California[/I], in which the justices unanimously ruled that police officers may not, without a warrant, search the data on a cell phone seized during an arrest. Writing for eight justices, Chief Justice John Roberts declared that “modern cell phones . . . are now such a pervasive and insistent part of daily life that the proverbial visitor from Mars might conclude they were an important feature of human anatomy.” This may be the first time the Supreme Court has explicitly contemplated the cyborg in case law—admittedly as a kind of metaphor. But the idea that the law will have to accommodate the integration of technology into the human being has actually been kicking around for a while. [/QUOTE] Quite interesting I guess. It also uses examples like the Terminator (though it's not really a cyborg, it's a robot with artificial human skin). I'm quite interested in having cyborgs in our society already, and see what they can do.
I like this concept, my cellphone IS part of my life and body. I literally cannot leave my home without it
I think of cybernetics as integration, not external interfacing. You can live without your iPhone; but, not without a pace-maker, or robotic prosthesis (situation warranting). Interesting decision though.

[QUOTE=Paramud;45934022]Does it lock your doors when you try to leave or something[/QUOTE] yes. send help
[QUOTE]the proverbial visitor from Mars might conclude they were an important feature of human anatomy[/QUOTE]and in 38 000 years they'll be an important feature of the anatomy of humans on Mars
too bad their ruling doesn't prevent the FBI from casually hooking up your phone to a multi-million dollar super computer and just brute force breaking any encryption you might have on it they don't need a warrant to hack your stuff even if it would be tantamount to breaking into a safe on your property
[quote=]"the proverbial visitor from Mars might conclude they were an important feature of human anatomy.”[/quote] Well damn. That is true but I would never expect a judge to say it so bluntly.
For fuck's sake, it's almost 2015, where are the flying cars and hoverboards?

[QUOTE=Sableye;45935060]too bad their ruling doesn't prevent the FBI from casually hooking up your phone to a multi-million dollar super computer and just brute force breaking any encryption you might have on it[/QUOTE] Yeah I'm sure they'll get right on it it'll probably only take around 2500 billion years Okay this is pretty off topic but I felt like looking up the exact numbers for this kind of shit [quote]The Tianhe-2 Supercomputer is the world's fastest supercomputer located at Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China. It clocks in at around 34 petaflops. Tianhe-2 Supercomputer @ 33.86 petaflops (quadrillion flops) =33 860 000 000 000 000 keys per second (33.86 quadrilion) 3.386e16 * 31556952 seconds in a year 2^255 possible keys 2^255 / 1.0685184e24 =1.0685184e24 keys per year (~1 septillion, 1 yottaflop) =5.4183479e52 years That's just for 1 machine. Reducing the time by just one power would require 10 more basketball court-sized supercomputers. To reduce the time by x power, we would require 10x basketball court-sized supercomputers. It would take 10^38 Tianhe-2 Supercomputers running for the entirety of the existence of everything to exhaust half of the keyspace of a AES-256 key.[/quote] Just a quick reminder that basically unbreakable digital encryption does actually exist. If you lose the key to AES-256 encrypted data, you may as well have deleted it because all the money and power in the world will never recover any of it in your life time. And now back to regularly scheduled posting about cyborgs
[QUOTE=Shogoll;45938619]Yeah I'm sure they'll get right on it it'll probably only take around 2500 billion years[/QUOTE] unless they have the private keys, which they are trying to get.
[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;45938728]unless they have the private keys, which they are trying to get.[/QUOTE] If your password isn't completely stupid and the implementation of the algorithm isn't stupidly broken in some manner, they'd have a higher probability of decrypting the data by beating it out of you rather than expecting to somehow "hack" into it any time in the next ten millenia

[URL]http://www.cnet.com/news/feds-put-heat-on-web-firms-for-master-encryption-keys/[/URL] (Sorry I thought you were talking about public key encryption for some reason) They can probably just subpeona you for the encryption password in the case of phone encryption.
