700k of damages would be 700,000 dollars worth of meetings, reviews, reports and studies about what happened, why it happened and how to keep it from happening again. Plus the time of the investigation.
Yes, in GP's example that would be analogous to the cost of the locks and alarm system (installment fees).
You act like its an epidemic. Those people are weak and are having natural selection take place. There are over 6 billion people on this planet. How many shootings are there? Maybe one every couple of years? So thats one in 6 billion every 2 years? What is the problem here? Have some perspective. These people are weak and need to understand that the world is a cruel place. Those that can't handle it will die off and hopefully not pass that genetic trait on to their children and we will all be better for it.
Actually it's more like 30-40 in six billion every 2 years (and I'm not sure whether I agree with the 2 years figure either) since the shootings usually also kill other, innocent people.
A reasonable functionality of this button would be to replace an existing screen with a splash screen that allows a child to interact with the responder while the later gets a remote desktop to the original session (presumably either with child's permission or if conversation seems to indicate a crime taking place). 99% of use would be a child scared by something which is not actually illegal or dangerous and the responder simply explaining what happened and closing the problematic content.
Wait, the police are allowed to decide whether a crime is/might be taking place? Don't they have a worldwide bad track record for making those decisions?
Adblock Plus doesn't block anything by default. It does present you with a list of filter subscriptions. Just install EasyPrivacy from the same folks who probably made the subscription you use now (EasyList).
When has our government actually ever given us a new right instead of taking them away? When have they taken useless or wrongheaded laws off the books instead of just throwing more of them out there? Maybe a bureaucracy that became useless that the government shut down? No. The government gets bigger and more intrusive. That is not a crazy conspiracy. It is just the facts. That is what the US government dose. It is what all governments do till threatened by their own people.
That's easy to fix! Just make SCOTUS take less time off (hear more cases thus declaring more laws unconstitutional).

The ISPs have lobbyists too... IIRC ACTA hands responsibility for subscribers' copyright infringements to the ISPs.
Exactly. Under US Law, a Treaty has nearly the power of a Constitutional Amendment, but none of the checks and balances
And none of the publicity, until it's nearly too late (at least in this case anyway).

What's that?
[...] and look - that's what happened.
What about Roe v. Wade?
I'm sorry, did you just compare a "secure" military network controlled by the most powerful nation in the world to a defenseless little old lady?
AFAIK he just broke into the system looking for UFO stuff.

Now that's an absurd suggestion. How do you suggest I go about it?
The gov't:Petition us for redress of your grievances or something.
The reality:You don't.
Why is this in science? Shouldn't it be in idle?
Is this (the cell phone network) another series of tubes? Can it too be clogged? Quick, somebody get Ted Stevens!

Population density may make a difference, in which case artificially introduced boundaries won't change a thing.
Hell yeah!

What about cookies?
IIRC Chrome OS is intended to be TiVoized (i.e. w/ digital signatures in the hardware/firmware).
But what do you advertise on a spreadsheet app? Users aren't looking for any info or such - they're working on their spreadsheet.
In that particular app, you take a loss. But in the word-processing app you can add ads. Same is true of ~every app they'll have.

That's funny, noone invoked Godwin's law (I'm not currently doing so, just noting that noone else did).

No but being regulated monopolies, they are beholden to the government who operate as the boss.
That's great, you should get a job in stand-up comedy! </sarcasm> There's this little thing called lobbying...
Yes, they do, but only in Mountain View, California. Also they might discontinue in 2010 AFAICT.
