The little bastard's already dead; it's RECYCLING!!!
its not like recycling....its more like buying a 24-pack of mgd....dumping the beer down the drain, and then putting the cans into the recycle bin.. You have to end a life to be able to 'harvest' the cells that could one-day be used to come up with a cure...potentially!! keep the life, cures will come. infanticide will be our greatest downfall
yes. the 'this is why' is because of the service agreement you are forced to agree to, and what it says. Sorry about any fuzziness you may have experienced while using your internets.;-)
a. my social life does not suffer because I have no cell phone. (it was laughable even when I did have one)
b. there are several reasons that I choose to end my service, and it is not because I fear the Gov. tracks me.
c. It is because every bit of my data is transmitted insecurely,
d. it is because I have thus far saved $3,000,
e. it is because there are so many communication options available to every person, at any time, and at any place,
f. it is also because I have developed the all but lost art which used to be known as "patience". For those unfamiliar with it, it involves being able to wait to use a landline, or actually speaking to an acquaintance in person.
g. I abhor being at anyone's beck and call, at any time of the day or night, and that expectation that I must answer your call since I have a phone,
h. also, I keep an inactive cell around with all my numbers in it, just in case I need to call one, which I have.
i. I would also comment about how I choose to not eat at any fast food joint, and how I *do* always wear clean underwear, but I fear how your feeble minds will continue to infer ridiculous things from the scant info provided here.
and just for fun here are some excerpts from two EULAs of large wireless companies :
"Please review the terms and conditions and the associated privacy policy for each Location-Based Service to learn how the location information will be used and protected.

I guess the models that your employer chose didn't come with the standard option of an on/off switch? or even a mute button so that when you are off the clock, you wouldn't hear it? I'm not a big blackberry fan, but I do see how they can be useful (when properly controlled)
The fact that an employee of a company who is supported by Intel wrote this article does not make it biased.
If it were written by an actual employee of Intel, or even Mr. Intel himself, that wouldn't even make the article biased.
Is the article biased?
perhaps.
I found it funny that you had to compare Apple to Microsoft in your response. What did Microsoft have to do with this debate? Or is it just a requirement that a person hate Gates to be considered intellectual?
Well, I hope that you believe that I do understand your viewpoint, and all of its implications, and that I am not misinformed. I just choose not to build my viewpoints from wikipedia, which is more like a blog than a real encyclopedia. To legalize the possession of everything would be outrageous. It would be plain stupid. That is not a value judgement, it is truth. A convicted murderer is denied possesion of all types of weapons, while in prison, for very good reason. Second, you failed to deal with that statement, which you disregarded; You have stated that possesion of ANYTHING ought to be legalized, and therefore legal possesion of people logically follows as just, by your argument. That is not a straw-man, nor a slippy slope, or any other type of fallacy. It follows. If I wanted to buy or sell sex slaves, or wives, or any person for that matter, you would have no problem? you did say everything. I do pay attention, I did read where you said it was viewpoint. You obviously misunderstood my analogy of using your 'viewpoint' in a legal defense. I merely stated it wouldn't work. That is because it assine and wrong.
No, you are correct. But we are talking about people who are being prosecuted by the Brazilian govt., who were using Orkut, an online service. Now would you concede that there is probably criminal activity going on? Possesion and passing of child porn? soliciting sex with minors? chances are, the accused were not merely writing poetry about the joy of stealing the virginity of a pre-pubescent child. And also, why are so many people on slashdot hell-bent on defending pedophilia?
I don't remember calling brazilian a race. I did, however, call you racist. Perhaps you are right. Let's forget 'race'. All humans are one race, as you, being very inteligent, already know. Or perhaps you could better define the word "Race"?? Brazil is a nation, made up of many diverse ethnicities. Which, therfore, would make you xenophobic and prejudiced. And I am very glad to see that you would judge a nation based on it's teenagers in chat rooms. You are obviously a very classy guy. I could conclude that whatever country you are from is stupid, as proved by it's representation: you. I stated 'our', because I was referring to U.S. foreign policy, which I, a californian, represent abroad when I travel. Now will you leave slashdot? (say no to hate)
I wonder if you have a wikipedia article that supports that outrageous claim that criminalizing anything is just wrong!!!
I don't want you, Alexo, to think I am attacking you, but where does this viewpoint come from? do you support legalizing all controlled substances to all people on this planet? Coke? Heroin? Anthrax? Plutonium? Do women fall into your definition of everything? I could own some of them too? I am curious why you think this.... and unfortunately for you, if you were to posses child porn, which I do not accuse you of doing, your defense of "it is just wrong" won't work on US soil, as possesion is illegal, and in my opinion, wrong. I would never say that desiring a child for your own sexual fantasy is illegal, just sick. And so what if the age of consent in Brasil may be 14? If you had a fourteen year old daughter, is that enough age for you to be ok with her giving her own consent? Besides, the government is pursuing charges that did not include statutory rape, (which is illegal, whether or not it was consensual, btw!) Please don't feel that I am attacking you, I just disagree. Strongly.
Slashdot is a place to discuss technology, politics, and the philosophy of living.....not for being a racist dumb*ss...
I use Orkut. I talk to my Brazilian friends. I have no problems. As for being arrogant and self-righteous, it is apparent that you have never talked to a Brazilian. They are some of the warmest, kindest, and open people on the globe. Perhaps that's why they share great relations with every nation. Yes even some of our enemies, but let's not get into our own 'flawless' foreign policy and alienating techinques...
You are an arrogant and ethnocentric fool. I wonder how you know so much about this culture, you do speak Portuguese, right?
Farewell coward, and thank you for not returning
While 'being a pedophile' might not be a crime, are none of you aware that possesing child porn, as well as sex with a minor is a crime?? I assume one, while 'being a pedophile', would break one of those laws would he not? The law on 'being a pedophile' I do not know, however, I am very aware, having lived there for quite a while, that hate speech is a punishable crime. Hate speech IS ILLEGAL in Brazil! Did nobody hear about the soccer player from Argentina who was arrested at the end of a game for calling a Brazilian player a monkey????
Of course we all have different opinions about this type of legislature, whether or not it is just, but that has no affect on it's existence.
Would I rat out a guy in another country because he broke a foreign law that I might not agree with? I don't know...
I just know I'd kill him if he was 'being a pedophile' with my daughter!!

The little bastard's already dead; it's RECYCLING!!!
its not like recycling....its more like buying a 24-pack of mgd....dumping the beer down the drain, and then putting the cans into the recycle bin..
You have to end a life to be able to 'harvest' the cells that could one-day be used to come up with a cure...potentially!!
keep the life, cures will come.
infanticide will be our greatest downfall
yes. the 'this is why' is because of the service agreement you are forced to agree to, and what it says. ;-)
Sorry about any fuzziness you may have experienced while using your internets.
I can see I will need to clarify some things....
a. my social life does not suffer because I have no cell phone. (it was laughable even when I did have one)
b. there are several reasons that I choose to end my service, and it is not because I fear the Gov. tracks me.
c. It is because every bit of my data is transmitted insecurely,
d. it is because I have thus far saved $3,000,
e. it is because there are so many communication options available to every person, at any time, and at any place,

...is read your EULAs!!! This is why I don't own a cell phone. enough people have at least one, there is always one around if I need one.
But unfortunately, as we all know....the cake is lie. Must be a consequence of global warming. Poor cake. :(
I guess the models that your employer chose didn't come with the standard option of an on/off switch?
