The problem is that people think you can not jail a corporation. You can. One year in prison means that the corporation must cease all income generating activities for one year. Lay off all employees that are not support. Then they must continue to do their 0 cost support until their sentence has been served or they go bankrupt. Easy.
I haven't done any machining in close to 20 years now. But what a thrill it was to program a heavy cut with a big end mill at high speed in just the right direction to spray hot aluminum chips at the operator on the big Fanuc next to my little Hurco.
If people need to be punished it should NEVER be a fine. A fine is not justice. A $200,000 fine to most people would completely destroy them. $200,000 is just the cost of doing business to a corp or a mega rich person. Justice would come from time. Community service or Jail.
The babies of the babies maybe. For the most part the best illegal aliens do not care much for education. So their children have incredibly high drop out rates. After a generation or three they probably americanize a bit and get moving in the right direction.
Wrong. He read it right. The proper, adult way to handle the situation is to not partake in software that you do not want. If you do not like the price of a loaf of brad at the supermarket you do not steal it. You buy something else. Not buying or downloading apps will stop bad developers. You do not have to steal to teach someone a lesson. Thinking that way is a justification only.
If an app wants permissions I do not want to give it I stay away from it. If I need a paid app and it want a permission to something it does not need but wants anyway I have a rooted phone with a nice ROM and I can block access to things piecemeal if I need to. I have never needed to steal an app that costs money to exercise my right to privacy and neither I think do you.
I think that you are just a spoiled brat that wants everything for free and that you are corrupting the Free (as in speech) software movement so you can justify your thieving ways. The worst part is not that you steal software it is that you are so full of yourself that you need a craptastic excuse like that to justify yourself. So go ahead and steal all you want. I do not give a shit. But if you do either become ok with the fact that you are a thief or at least have the courtesy to keep your fucking mouth shut about it so you do not make us look bad.
What I find awesome is the way that when ever there is a bunch of stuff going on about Illegal Immigrants we get a crap load of information from many sources how good immigration is for the country.
Immigrants are what made the US a powerhouse in the world. Immigrants fleeing oppression looking to become a part of a nation built on freedoms. Immigrants that came with nothing and received nothing. Immigrants that loved their new country and fought to become Americans.
All immigrants like those are welcome to apply and work to get full citizenship in the US. I for one encourage them and welcome them.
You can not though compare them to the people who sneak here and pop out babies and look for welfare with forms printed in their native language. These are not the people that strengthen a country.
All stuff I fully believe happens with Linux. The audio thing..... (Sometime even Linux sucks.) Most USB wifi adapters will work. ndiswrapper is not much of a problem. Add to that that most people do not need to use a seperate USB wifi adapter. Again Linux is not perfect but for a majority of people it would work better than windows for what they actually do. Also to be fair if you use windows as well you can come up with three things that went bad there as well I am sure. Again. Linux is not perfect. Linux is not the better answer for everyone. For a majority of people though Linux would work with less hassle to do the things that most people do. To have a system that sits in a house and checks email and facebook. Plays movies and youtube. Dose some homework and more Linux is better.
What mainstream titles do most people need? Most people need to email, check facebook, youtube, have a simple word program and maybe a spreadsheet. What can you not do on mint? Heck even if for some reason you absolutely have to have MS Office because you have a heavily formatted document or a spreadsheet with special stuff (Not most users) you can run MS office in WINE.
You do deserve the funny you have. The truth now though is quite a bit different. For most users and equipment Linux does 'just work' now. There are many choices for almost any type of software that most people would use that is just a click or a single 'sudo apt-get install [new thing I want]' away. Linux mint for example is good looking. Comes with codecs and flash. Works well, Easy to use and install. Seems to me that for most use cases that for non computer people that Linux would be a better and easier choice.
I make people who say that they are my friends call me, text me, send me an email. Heck. Sometimes they even stop by to say hello. Anyone in my circle of friends that insists that I need a Facebook account to be their friend is not a friend.
First. I am not debating the existence of God. Second. Never said that God interfered with everything. Third. Again. If there is a God. His will. When exerted can not be thwarted by man. If it could he would not be God.
What God wants and does not want are things that can be up for discussion. If God does in fact exist though I can most assuredly tell you that nothing can interfere with his will. If something human can interfere with Gods will it would not be much of a God.
Slashdot doesn't say anywhere that it's US-centric
It used to. Since it was bought by a company though they have removed that bit of knowledge so as not to offend any potential new readers I guess. Your UID is low enough to have read many postings pointing this out in the past though.
So. Let me get this straight. If someone rapes your daughter you would respond with "Yeah, so what?" because of the citizens united case? Since we have had the citizens united case you just intend to say fuck it too everything? So before that case you were all up in arms over the power grabs by decades of bad congresses but now that this case has been decided badly "Fuck it"?
Slashdot Mirror
I think you actually broke that for him.
The same kind of privacy you can expect when you yell something out in public.
None.
Stupid people choose not to learn.
I would not say they lost.
They in fact did lose. Completely.
Is the fact that no one has ever passed a law like that somehow make it impossible?

Ahh.
You are one of those people.
Ok then. I will realize that there is no way to have a conversation with you and leave it at that.
Good luck.
Good or bad.
But health care is not an enumerated power.
Therefore it falls to the State of the People.
So. Let me get this straight.
