    Can't you just dump salt water in the ocean?

    It's never about what you have.

    It's all about what you can give.

    Makes you wonder why they're trying so hard with ACTA and SOPA doesn't it?

    What I would like to know is if anyone defied that law and then tried to use ex post facto to defend himself against criminal prosecution.

    I'd agree

    Corporate person hood just lets stockholders stay greedy and relatively insulated from the negative side effects of what their company is doing.

    When all you see are dividends, it's hard to care how you get them.

    I think the OWS protests getting shut down by cops only proves how desperate the elite are to keep their claws tightly gripped on their scepters of power.

    It's time for the ammo box.

    Or maybe they know that too much advanced stuff is technically against their TOS so if you're not a good little bit sipper you really ought to upgrade to business class.

    I also don't trust the car.

    Who is to say that the gubbermint will keep its paws off of it?

    Thing is I don't trust anything that can think for me. My enemy might have programmed it.

  9. Re:What does it do if you miss the Ford dealership on Ford System Will Warn, Correct Lane-Drifting Drivers · · Score: 1

    Sadly this doesn't sound all that humorous.

    Next companies will start requiring this on their employee's cars to keep them from moonlighting.

  10. Re:I've known two people killed by sleeping driver on Ford System Will Warn, Correct Lane-Drifting Drivers · · Score: 2

    Come to think of it, why do we as a society have so much pressure on people that they even NEED to try doing this crap while driving?

    Has the rat race of one upping our fellow citizens driven us to this extreme?

    I can see that happening for chinese electronics with logic bombs targeted at dissidents actually.

    Removal of the car makes perfect sense.

    Make drunk driving a felony and forfeit the car.

    Darwin's laws of traffic perhaps?

    Deliberately obstructing other drivers sounds like reckless driving in itself though.

    Why are those assholes not getting ticketed for it?

    Hell if I was a cop I'd pull them over for reckless endangerment and slap the cuffs on them right there.

    My rule of thumb is:

    Unless a law conflicts with a higher moral principle I am obliged to obey it to the best of my ability, since submission to sovereignty is itself a principle.

    For me it's not so much unlicensed copying as it is a disrespect towards the law.

    You probably committed a civil tort known as slander.

    It may be illegal, but I don't think it's a crime.

    By the way, if the meat really is rotten, then you have done nothing wrong at all.

    Your claim assumes facts not in evidence.

    Namely that the poster you are talking to actually killed someone.
