Not true, menial labor serves to convince people they don't want to do menial labor and strive for something better. It's up to the individual to find their motivation. Would tablet permissions as a reward work for good behavior? Sure, I don't however think every inmate should get one at the cost to taxpayers.
Okay, Let's put it to the test. On you for the next 30 years.
How about "occupying their time" with work such as making license plates, breaking big rocks into smaller rocks, digging holes, filling in holes, etc.?
Because there are businesses out there that can make money doing that stuff.
Then again, there is a sizable subset of Americans who are pissed off that we can't own slaves any more, a sweet gig that the North screwed up with their war of aggression.
But... but... Think of the shareholders... If the company can't turn everything they do into a rental business, how are they going to make their quarterly profit numbers to satisfy the market and allow the Execs to keep getting their bonuses... If they can protect this business by using and corrupting the legal system, all the better...
It is Lexmark's business model. They sell dirt-cheap printers, probably lose money on them, and intend to make up for that on their toner sales. It's kind of attractive to a company because it makes for steadier cash flow. I suspect that if Lexmark loses, you can expect a big jump in the price of the original printers.
The big flaw in this system is twofold - first is the issue we are talking about here, and the second is if you are going to be charging rock-bottom prices, you'll be attracting the cheapest consumers. So they want to both buy a loss leader printer, and the cheapest possible cartridges.
Short version, Lexmark is using a gamble of a business model, could be put out of business here.
I know the get tough on crime crowd will be throwing a massive shit-fit, but if you can give them something to occupy their time, it might be less shit going down in there.
The rest of your post is so ludicrous I'll not take time to point out how you can't understand anything else either...
I will take the time to point out that you took the time to point out how I cannot understand anything else, which you said you wouldn't take the time to do, but then did take the time to do. Do do
Full stop! We've had the Microsoft shills in here telling us that Microsoft isn't collecting data, that it's not an invasion of privacy, and that we aren't handing them the keys to the kingdom.
So quickly shills, exapand on this. Tell us why there is no spying by Microsoft, yet despite no spying, they produced a version that doesn't spy less on us than the version that already doesn't spy on us. Inquiring minds want to know.
I think they've done a good job at that by diverting water from the croplands to some fish somewhere.
This actually worries me more than AGW. And AGW worries me a lot. The situation needs addressed. But we aren't a country that can address much any more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
BTW, most of CA already is a desert.
Exactly. Its a situation where the weather is pretty good, lots of sunshine, OK soil, but not much water. They've wrecked their local sources and when you get soil subsidance like this, http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~...https://ca.water.usgs.gov/land... you've probably made the water table recharge either impossible or a tens of thousands of years effort.
Then we have the river diversion issues. Already the Colorado no longer reaches the sea. Most impressive to stop that river.
If I had a say in how water use in California is handled, I'd say you start with the Sunshine. That's not likely to go away any time soon. So that's good. But the next issue is that water. It has to be used better, and more efficiently. I'm seeing a lot of farming under glass, so to speak. If you are going to use water, you have to meter it out and limit evaporation. If you are going to ship water from another state, you need to keep the damn stuff covered. Gotta watch how we deliver it to the plants though, because drip irrigation is great for saving water but you eventually salinate the soil. https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/Inte...https://upload.wikimedia.org/w...
We are perhaps a dog that likes to shit in it's dinner bowl.
Did you even read what I wrote, or are you again interjecting your own thoughts?
Actually Benedict, I was replying to something someone else wrote. Now Go to the Russian Embassy in the nearest big city, and offer them your services. They like people like you.
Everywhere from California to Indiana will desertify. California may well lose its agricultural sector over the next 50 years.
Do you have any projections for that? I've always been loathe to make predictions for a specific area, although if Nebraska gets a little drier, it will become desert .
Didn't they already get told they weren't allowed to gather let alone publish this sort of data?
Someone is getting sacked. I'm assuming there is going to be some kind of equivalent of the gulag soon for the people who persist in producing unapproved data.
Seems to be a bit of a revolt going on. It's gonna get more interesting. Coming to my party? Popcorn and Tequila, I'll see if the little lady can whip up some of her tater salad.
Kiribati is going underwater. Does anyone else care? *sigh*
Many places will. As well, while a lot of folk are enjoying the warmer winters, and give not one tiny fuck about what is happening in other places, there are little issues that can crop up that might affect them.
Sea level rise is just one issue.
Local climate change is another. If the gulf stream is disrupted by Greenland glacier melt, the British Isles will actually get colder.
Some places will become more lush, and some places will become desert. The Sahara was once a nice place. If a natural climate shift can do that, it will be interesting to see what happens when we release all that sequestered carbon.
But especially in America, people don't give a shit about anything that isn't happening to them personally.
It's worse than that. Kids looking for videos about transgender issues or homosexuality will find that they are now restricted. We are talking about really benign stuff like make-up tips for trans girls and support for victims of transphobic bullying at school.
Google has gone way too far.
Sounds like an algorithm coming up against an age restriction issue. Then again, I've never searched for makeup tips for any gender.
I can't be sure, but I'd bet it's similar to light to moderate plaque psoriasis. I don't know whether I should be thankful or not that google thinks I'm a menopausal woman.
Just remember, you may be eligible for substantial compensation.
American companies swiftly followed, even after Google promised Tuesday to work harder to block ads on "hateful, offensive and derogatory" videos.
So let me get this straight -- racists, misogynists, and terrorists are going to benefit from an ad-free experience, and yet my 6 year old daughter has to put up with ads for mortgages and makeup and other adult stuff when she wants to watch kids videos? WTF did we ever do to you Google that dirtbags get an out from Youtube ads, but the rest of us have to suffer?

Daddy? What's erectile dysfunction and should we ask the perdiatrician if cialis is right for me?
...said the main living in the glorious country where the simple apparition of a nipple is considered a major mediatic catastrophe, where breast feeding is a public offense, and where anything remotely sexual is sure to traumatise the next few generations of youth. (and where nude bodies are probably terrorism-level material).
To each country and culture its own taboos.
For Germany, it might be hate speech, for France it might be "right to be forgotten", and for the USA it's anything which isn't missionary position with the sole purpose to procreate.
Beware of the nude-nipple-terrorists, America !
Cool story Bro!
You really don't know much about us. But you have a nice far right wing level of pre-judgement.
The simulated universe conjecture doesn't lend anything new to the believers of the supernatural that they don't already have.
Oh but it does. One of the greatest victories for the fundamental set would be if they could manage to get their religious beliefs taught as science in the classroom. Angered by biology and evolution, they have been trying every ten years or so to re-introduce their belief into science classrooms. Creation science was rejected by science first, then the creationists turned to Intelligent design, which ostensibly suggests the possibility of their god or aliens - though of course, wink wink, you know who we really mean. Fortunately that was shown to be lying for god.
So now, here we have people claiming that our universe is a simulation. Any Intelligent design advocates will hop on that like crocodiles on a wildebeest.
What does God need with a starship (or simulation)?
If existing, it could do all that without a simulation. So any evidence for a simulation would be evidence against it being a supreme being.
Of course. But how well will your logic play with people who believe things like the Noah's Ark myth being literally true? People who believe that the entire world was covered with water to overtop the earth's highest mountains in a rain event lasting 960 hours raising sea level by 8,850 meters today's Everest height, less at that time due to plate tectonics. I did BOE calculations and it was essentially a solid wall of falling water - the ark would need to be a submarine or else be swamped. Not to mention, all of the animals from Australia would have to swim to the middle east, covering thousands of miles - so they wouldn't drown.
People who believe that would have no problem with a spaceship god, and it's computer simulation.
And it would go against the tenets of free will. Granted, some flavors of godbothering believe in predestination, but most claim there's free will, including creationists.
Free will is another one of those philosophical brouhahas that I prefer to avoid, reminds me of angels dancing on the head of a pin discussions.
Regardless, the same folk who got wood over their incorrect application of the second law of thermodynamics will be really excited to talk about how Neil DeGrasse Tyson agrees with them about a single creator of the universe. Scientists will rue the day they came up with this admission of defeat.

So inmates in prison will have access to better equipment than i do at work? Is this some kind of disincentive program.
Exactly, So why don't you do something to get sent to prison and get better equipment.

I love it when zealots like you troll by calling other people shills. This is about source code review, you clueless dolt.
Try to follow the conversation. The only people I'm calling shills atr the shills who denied all the shit Microsoft does. Thanks for playing though.

It is a fine transport mechanism for bullshit however.
