I'm increasingly of the opinion that the only proper way to pounish somone who intentionally wounds/maims someone is to do the same thing to them. Only withplenty of warning so they have time to get really fucking scared. No other punishment really means anything in the end.
And therefore, you will apply the same theorem to teeth???
Shit, the americas, indies and asians were all on each other's good sides giving everyone hugs then the anglos had to come in and steal it all!
Indeed the brits stole it all. History is driven by geography: stuck in their crappy tiny island, they soon depleted it's ressources and were thus driven overseas to pilfer what they needed, thus building their huge "trading" empire buttressed by the largest navy which was needed when some trader pissed-off some natives in order to bombard the pissed-off natives to smithereens.
Meanwhile, the french in their very rich country with overflowing ressources had no need for an empire, but nevertheless built one just to copy the britshit. However, that empire was not vitally important to the french as the britshit empire was to the limeys, because when both the britshit and the french lost both their empires at the end of World-War II (History can thank Hitler for helping topple those two inane colonial empires), only France did not fall into a spiral of decadence and recession (strict currency controls were in effect until the mid-60's in Britain). In fact, during that period, freed from the distractions of running an empire solely for the benefit of the bourgeois, France had one of the biggest economic growth in Europe.
It was only when the britshit started kissing yankee arse big time with the Thatcher chick that britain started to regain some of it's former proeminence, but that was only tolerated because it helped isolate a little bit less the yankees on the world economic scene (and the yankees were also adamant in having Canada, another britshit colony, join the G-7 so it would also be less isolated against the likes of Germany, France and Italy).
But as soon as the US economy collapses (helooooo trade deficit and falling currency), the britshit will be more isolated than ever, as they are quite hated in Europe thanks to their herculean efforts to sabotage the construction of Europe as much as they can for their yankee overlords.
Your remark is doubly funny in french because in french slang, one word for "cop" is "poulet", that is, "chicken" (another is "vache"="cow" or "boeuf"="ox" in Québec, wich yields the delightful irony of calling a squad cruiser an "oxcart"...).
Have them read the fine print, you know, the section that says "...shall not held liable for any consequence of using the software that is supplied on a 'as-is' basis"...
Then again, it's in German, and everything in German looks scary... including Geschwindigkeitbegrenzung and Streichholzschächtelchen.
That's nothing compared to the dreaded schmetterling...

Well, Japanese pr0n has the annoying habit of blurring-out pubic areas, which is a shame because japanese pr0n has been quite good at addressing my spandex+orientals fetishes...
Guzzo theaters are, indeed, a mafia-front. It is strange though that they would harass customers; however, in the past, Guzzo had to go to court to have movie distributors release "fresh" titles to them, so it may be some effort from Guzzo to woo movie distributors (which does not make it right any more).
Can't do that. Ever since Business has been taken over by MBAs, customers have to be insulted, because since they are stupid enough to buy from that company, they deserve no respect because they are obviously not MBAs, hence the mantra of the New Economy: insult thy customer.
Oh well. Time for my time-honoured usual tirade on this subject...
Driving is NOT A RIGHT! It is a PRIVILEGE that is exerced on PUBLIC ROADS, in *FULL VIEW* of the public, including law enforcement drones. As such, there shall be no expectation of privacy whatsoever for anyone who operates a motor car on a public road. And the idea behind license plates is that they shall be visible to law-enforcement officials.

As someone who spent a decade or so as a "fricking consultant" I don't find it hard to blame him. If Mr. $125/hr was a half competent consultant he should at the very least have email evidence to show that he tried to change this retarded procedure but was vetoed by his superior. If he has such evidence then rinse & repeat up the PHB ladder.
And promptly become an ex-consultant to that company...
An organization with this many SSN's should never have been allowed to have a policy in place where *anybody* was allowed to take home backup tapes of private data. This happens far too often. We need real laws that specify severe punishment for companies and institutions that allow this to happen with SSN's and other personal data.
You're barking up the wrong tree. Given that SSNs are the yellow brick road to identity theft, measures should be taken to allow changing SSNs as soon as any confidentiality breach is suspected. Or simply forbid the use of SSNs for anything they were not designed for (social security).
One has to take account of the police mindset. The police will not trust anyone at all. Period.
And the police expect total control of any given situation. Whenever one does not cooperate with the police, the police no longer is in total control and will take whatever measures are necessary to regain total control.
Adding those two points simply will make that anyone who hides stuff from the police is automatically an ennemy that has to be controlled at once.
As a matter of fact, one cannot never win against the police. In a courtroom, yes, maybe, but not against the police.
So the obvious solution is that everyone should perform maximum obfuscation/encrypting of data, the idea being that one cannot jail a whole country.
One stupid moderation of a valid point gets your moderation privelidges removed forever.
Must be what happens, since the last 5-6 years, my IP has been repeatedly "banned" for a few days after I have reposted downmodded tro^h^h^hposts, and I haven't seen any moderator points for the last 3-4 years or so...
There is no biological response, yet, to keeping your information private.
Yes there is. Many animals (not just the humans) will hide to defecate (ever had cats at home?). The same thing often goes for mating.
Many monkeys will go berserk if you just stare at them, and staring at a charging feline will very often stop it dead on it's tracks; this is why thai farmers will wear masks on the back of their heads, it will stop tigers from attacking.
Animals need privacy, too, and will make sure they get it.
Having a large, centralised system is obviously an advantage until we find some way of utilising all that wasted power in the 2GHz desktops with 1Gib of RAM that companies buy in the hundreds.
You need all that power to draw the transparent windows and menus as well as the antialiased fonts that's so vital for the Windoze eye-candy.
Typical answer from a conservative who's too stupid to educate himself and pulls out old worn-out clichés about socialism. And what's worse is that you don't have any money, and are held by the balls by your debt, and you still defend the super-rich who could not care less about you.

Oh, that's nothing. Anglo-saxons are far too stupid to lean any other language so we have to learn english to be able to talk to them...
