It's a good point, really. With a belt you could go to town and leave nothing more than bruises and welts. A wrench, though, will break bone. He'd have to hold back, and that wouldn't be at all satisfying enough. Keeping the kid out of hospital is priority one with abuse.
This is why we have NoScript and AdBlock. We made a technological measure (Block popups in browser) to prevent unwanted behaviour (popup advertising), and they deliberately circumvented that measure. They could have learned the lesson and gone with "Yup, popups are annoying. We won't do that now. How about letting us just go with static image banners and unobtrusive text ads?" from the beginning, but they instead made plugins load popups. Instead of agreeing pissing in the garden isn't acceptable and using the toilet like a regular person, they pissed in our cereal. So now we don't even invite them into the house, and have electrified all of the fences. They only have themselves to blame.

I've always wondered why you (US) don't immediately dismiss a person from their position in your legislature at the first occurrence of them mentioning "God" in their official capacity. Surely "separation of Church and State" is sufficient to make sure that only the rational and objective are in positions of power?
Read as snarky if you want, but it's not intended that way. I'm genuinely curious.
I have a Desire HD with Jelly Bean (Thanks to the folks at XDA Developers). Aside from the significantly higher quality screen, I don't see any improvement worth the payout. It's still Android 4.2, it's still got GPS, Wifi, removable storage, is a little thinner but not noticeable in a pocket, and is no better watch films or browse the internet on a train journey, IMO. Screens that small with pixel count that high will all look the same... It's just a bigger number. MHz wars all over again.
I agree, though; "New shiny!" is a compelling market strategy.
The only way to die with dignity of degenerative disease is to help with research into its cure, even if that means dying because of the treatments you've taken.
Suicide helps nobody but yourself. I suppose it's your right, but it's totally selfish.
I just unchecked the box that said "Allow some non-intrusive advertising" in ABP, and dropped all of the exceptions from Ghostery and NoScript. Now I'm back to no advertising at all.
I see this as being similar to using a WYSIWYG HTML editor. It's much faster to use Dreamweaver (or whatever the new favourite is) to get your site up and pretty, but it's also limiting and pumps out bloated and inefficient code. It's much more elegant and streamlined to code yourself, as well as more configurable, but it takes more time.
You do your due diligence, you pick the best solution for you. Same with parallel computing. Same with everything.
At this point, "Why didn't he leak to the Times?" is only slightly less risible than "Why didn't he just register his concerns with the chain of command?"
According to the article, he tried that too. When he uncovered what was supposed to be damning evidence of anti-Malaki propaganda was actually just an academic pamphlet on his regime (translated by a colleague), they told him to "drop it". Interesting stuff.

So you're telling me that you logged into your personl account on an untrusted computer, through your two-factor authentication scheme, failed to read the dialog box prompting you to download personal data to the machine, and then were surprised when this synchronisation scheme applied changes to your account?
PEBKAC. Works as intended. I presume you've been modded up so we can all laugh at you for thinking that this is somehow the fault of Google.
I may be mistaken (IANAL) but this is a civil case (someone is being sued), so there will be no binding precedent set. The case may, however, be taken into account by the presiding judge.
I'd like to know how incidences of rear-end collisions are affected in areas where red-light cameras are installed, and how many of those who are involved in rear-end collisions (the collisionee, if that is a word) have been subject to fine by one of these cameras, especially if the ticket was later contested because the amber phase was shortened to increase revenue.
Back of the napkin math here; Breaking distance from 30MPH (14m/s) is 23m including a thinking distance of 9m in ideal conditions. Therefore, you require 23m to stop your car from 30mph, but are only given 12.6m to do it in (14m[distance travelled in 1s] * 0.9[length of amber phase]) and 3/4 of that is going "Yellow light... I had betOHSHITITSREDNOW." It's demontrably impossible.

IMHO, Beethoven's 9th was the contemporary equivalent. Is "Pop classical" even a genre?

Any idea on what GPU the "Steam Box" uses? AMD could end up powering gaming in the living room totally.

Like Aaron Schwartz. How do you feel about his?
Can we just agree that the system is fucked?

It's also more expensive, which goes some way to offset the (monetary) savings of using more energy dense fuel.
Here is a basic calculator to see if you'd save money. It's in Sterling, but ignore the currency symbol and the math is the same.
I thought this was going to be a comment by Brent Spinner. It was not.
I am so disappointed.

'Not surprisingly, many performers and older patrons of the arts hate this idea, which they regard as pandering to the young.
Well, the alternative is you can remain a venue for only the old, in which case your art form will die with the Baby Boomers.
You think that's preferable, right?

Nobody said that anyone involved in Bitcoin actually knew what they were doing.

Unless this is totally anecdotal they're counted somewhere, because you state that they increase. If it's recorded, where can the figures be found?
