Just saying you have other options and you can take a boat to Europe. If one option (in this case flying) become unacceptable to you, don't fly. The airlines will notice a drop in passengers and the rules will change. Money runs everything and if you choose where you spend your money and so does everyone else the world will change. For now the US is stuck on "fighting the terrorist" or "disliking Bush" but eventually it will change. We got rid of McCarthy right???
Also please try to remember the world is not all about you. The government has a responsibility to protect its citizens. Now the government finds Millimeter-Wave Scanners as a good weapon to use to protect its citizens from terrorist. You feel this is a bad thing. So you can always take it to the supreme court thats what it here for.
You don't have to fly you know. You could take a bus, walk, drive etc. You know jails do the same type of search, they do cavity searches etc. So I stay out of jail. It is quite simple.
It is a sex offender database this is public information.
These registries also protect us from the truly unlucky offenders, such as fornicating teenagers, children who take nude pictures of themselves, and public urinators.
Once you are on the sex offender list you are required to register so people know who you are. It is just one of the things that comes with being a sex offender.
Why? In most cases you are protected from liability and your employer is the one to blame. You may get fired from your job, but you will not get sued. For example my wife works at a school and someone told her they were going to sue her. She notified the principal and the school district took care of it. So no this person should not go for jail they should be fired and the employer should give a bad referral.
Have you ever thought this could be used to monitor traffic congestion during specific times of the day. So if the user is going to be driving between 4:30 and 5:00 PM Microsoft will spit out different directions then it would if the user was driving at 8:00 PM at night.
Hmm well I have used Google maps on my pda and Microsoft live on my pda also and personally i trust the Microsoft version better. For some reason the Google version thinks performing a U turn is a smart thing to do in a busy city. Try it some time, use Google maps to get to directions and 6 out of 10 times it will tell you to do a U turn and then try the same directions with Microsoft and it will not ask you to do a U turn.
Umm you must have failed physics. If you are in the "Go Zone" and the light turns yellow you can not stop with out stopping in the intersection. So you must not stop and keep going. However if they change the length of the light to catch more people running red lights this changes the time in which someone can safely stop. So the police are increasing the potential for a wreck just so they can get more money.
With Linux don't you have the source? So how can your 4th amendment rights and privacy be violated when you can just remove the stuff? Maybe the businesses are trying to make money and the government has deep pockets so they secure their software so the government will spend money on their products. It is just capitalism at work.
The world is full of smart people, I am sure the NSA can not slip some nice little "feature" into an operating system and someone will not find it. Maybe just maybe the NSA is trying to make sure their shit is secure...your privacy is just fine. If you do not think so why don't you analyze it and report to slashdot how the NSA has inserted code that violates your rights. We all would love to know.
equal blame to Microsoft for not being more compatible with windows XP drivers I will assume you are talking about Vista? If that is the case, Vista is a new os, it is not XP. So they changed the structure of the drivers. So with that out in the open why should Microsoft Vista be more compatible with Windows XP drivers? If you had a car that used leaded gas and you bought a new car that only works with unleaded gas you would not blame the auto maker for not supporting the use of leaded gas would you? So why do you blame Microsoft?
Well if NVidia is the only one with MAJOR driver problems....lets look at the math. 80% of the drivers work and they were built with the DDK while 20% (including NVidia's drivers) do not work and they were built with the DDK. I would think the 20% did not write their drivers correctly.
Fine, why should I pay for the internet and you get to use it for free. I know you probably like to live in a society where everything is "Free" but sadly that society does not exist yet. So why should I work so I have money to purchase a connection to the internet, while someone else is too lazy to purchase their own?
So what your saying is if the child molester outside looks at the kiddie porn in his car and he gets traced. Your fucked. All you have is a mac address, all the District attorney will say is you threw the computer out. There are things worse then p2p.
what this law is is an attempt to criminalize a culture of sharing. No the problem is some people do not want to add to the pot. Some people do not want to also purchase a WAP. They think everything should be free. So if 5 people in a given area all have their own WAP the 6th guy thinks he does not have to pitch in. That is what this is making illegal, or rather it is because of that sharing is now illegal.
THREE YEARS for doing something fairly innocent? Nothing Orellian about it. It is stealing plain and simple. Someone else is paying the bill for access to the internet and someone else is using it also. It is no different then me purchasing a pack of Soda and you walking into my house and taking a can out of my fridge. The only difference is we already have a law to prevent that, and it is called Breaking and Entering.
The problem isn't really that the candidate got screwed "The candidate" is referring to Perez, not Patsy Thomas. So the GP did not mention anything about Patsy Thomas. You just want karma don't you?
Perez withdrew one day after Franklin County had finalized its ballots. He had hoped to avoid playing spoiler in fellow Democrat Patsy Thomas' race to retain her appointment to the Franklin County Municipal Court.
Instead, Perez's name remained on the ballots -- or allegedly, most ballots -- and Republican David Tyack won. Keep drinking the cool-aid man:) He withdrew late, after they finalized the ballots. That is like getting them to correct the spelling of your name on your drivers license after they printed it. The candidate fucked up, I don't think it is corporate America out to get you.
The problem isn't really that the candidate got screwed -- he actually did resign form the race, but he missed the deadline after which the ballots were supposed to be finalized.
A pretty minor mistake (if you ask me), but the big deal is that all the machines are supposed to have exactly the same ballot. And they didn't. That's bad. and

Seeing as how it's private property, he can park anywhere he wants. He can park in the front entrance if he wants. Yes it is private property but it is required to follow city laws and codes. That is why businesses must have handicap spots in the first place. City regulations require that a business have those spots. So no he can not park in the handicap spot. He could park in the front entrance however, but he would probably be breaking fire code. So just because someone owns the business does not mean they can do whatever. For example a chemical company can not just dump chemical waste on their back lot. If only life were as simple as your mind:)
You do know they are talking about classified stuff. Also when it goes into law (if it goes into law) it will be a matter of public record. If it is against the law someone will take it to the supreme court. You do know we still have some form of checks and balances. You do know how that works right? Congress makes a dumb law, the Executive branch enforces the dumb law, the Judicial branch tells them hey this law is dumb and they get rid of it. In most cases the Supreme court goes by the constitution I have not heard too many reports of Tellcos paying off judges. So I think you will be ok;)

From one slashdotter to another, thank you for serving.

I was not +5 when I wrote that. I was 2 flame bait :)
Because this is slashdot and if you have a thought or comment that does not support the mobs...you get modded down.
And that is littering so what entitles you to break the law?

Sure if you would just get off your cell phone, get out of the left hand lane and drive the speed limit. I would not have to tailgate.

Just like they do against the RIAA right? Maybe not now, but when the witch hunt started people go fucked by the RIAA for less.
