Because the typical execution of prisoners in America poisons all the organs.... And the fact that they usually sit in prison for 10 - 30 years waiting for the execution (puts a lot of miles on what may have once been healthy young viable organs)
What about our non-Ipad tablets?? The ones that can play the video *hehe* is this tech available for them? If not then it is nothing more than a PR stunt for the i-zombies to swoon over:P
Hows about just using a decrypt like "G0Fukyourself" Then even if tortured to the breaking point when you tell them the password they may just kill you and get it over with. Either way you can tell them and they will think you are just a shit - even though it is the real password - - - - - just tell them - - - - - go fuck yourself!
We should have done that long long ago. Now we are behind the curve and have been infiltrated at every level with outsourced goods and services - that just screams screwed royal... meanwhile dumbass government will spent 10 more years debating it:/
After all the money is the property of the government that issued it. Give to Caesar what is Caesar's
and thanks to the Patriot Act we are almost back in the cold war mentality (fear). Everyone was in fear of commies. You could point someone out as a commie and the government boys would take them for a 'ride'. If you could not prove satisfactorily that you were not a commie there was a problem... Although the Patriot Act does give a much wider range of activities that should be hunted out (not just commies) and the government agencies now have a much broader field to play with you on. O_o Some great politicians we have there, keeping a watch over our safety ??
Remember Jefferson Starship? Are they still waiting for the first star ship to Hijack? It has been so many years that the original bunch may be too old now but I wonder if they trained their kids? The star ship stonies rocking their way across the stars!
Its just too bad. Maybe if he was not a jerk wad he would not have this problem! So whats the real news here? Some guy (the jerk wad) can't act civil and his mommy isn't there to spank him so someone else (the game company) has to punish him... I say good. Forums have too many trolls (and jerk wads) its about time some consequences are put down.
Besides the previous articles on SD - 4G Broadband May Jam GPS http://slashdot.org/story/11/02/09/1324253/4G-Broadband-May-Jam-GPS/ Nothing like having America blanketed by GPS blocking net:P It will be interesting to see how long before 4G is antique and the new 42G is the rage...

I found a much less expensive place to buy legit music from. Singles only 15 cents and most expensive album I have ever purchased was under $3 and it was a double. soundike.com They may not have as extensive a collection but for the price!! Before passing judgment check them out. Its a Russian site but the tunes are legal and in 3 years I have NEVER had them screw me or cheat me out of my money or my identity.
I'm an American, and I value my freedom over a false sense of security. If you aren't comfortable with that, perhaps America isn't for you.
Totally agree
So does anybody speak the language of the predators? seems dangerous to assume that 'they' will speak our language - unless they are built like us there may be no way to communicate verbally...
But I would take either the licking of lips (or mandibles if they have no lips) or superior strength and weapons (since they have better space travel) as a bad sign for us ugly bags of mostly water
It is important to keep in mind the difference between a Democracy and a Republic, as dissimilar forms of government. Understanding the difference is essential to comprehension of the fundamentals involved. It should be noted, in passing, that use of the word Democracy as meaning merely the popular type of government--that is, featuring genuinely free elections by the people periodically--is not helpful in discussing, as here, the difference between alternative and dissimilar forms of a popular government: a Democracy versus a Republic. This double meaning of Democracy--a popular-type government in general, as well as a specific form of popular government--needs to be made clear in any discussion, or writing, regarding this subject, for the sake of sound understanding.
These two forms of government: Democracy and Republic, are not only dissimilar but antithetical, reflecting the sharp contrast between (a) The Majority Unlimited, in a Democracy, lacking any legal safeguard of the rights of The Individual and The Minority, and (b) The Majority Limited, in a Republic under a written Constitution safeguarding the rights of The Individual and The Minority; as we shall now see.
A Democracy
The chief characteristic and distinguishing feature of a Democracy is: Rule by Omnipotent Majority. In a Democracy, The Individual, and any group of Individuals composing any Minority, have no protection against the unlimited power of The Majority. It is a case of Majority-over-Man.
A Republic
A Republic, on the other hand, has a very different purpose and an entirely different form, or system, of government. Its purpose is to control The Majority strictly, as well as all others among the people, primarily to protect The Individual's God-given, unalienable rights and therefore for the protection of the rights of The Minority, of all minorities, and the liberties of people in general. The definition of a Republic is: a constitutionally limited government of the representative type, created by a written Constitution--adopted by the people and changeable (from its original meaning) by them only by its amendment--with its powers divided between three separate Branches: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. Here the term "the people" means, of course, the electorate.
and a quote from another that seems to be appropriate to show what forgetting 'REPUBLIC' has gotten us
You never were taught early democratic history have you? The Greeks were the first ones to identify the weaknesses inherent in democracy.
And the biggest weakness is, indeed, it all starts falling apart when the regular folk realize that they can vote themselves raises and are swayed by skillful politicians who promise to fulfill those desires.
The other major weakness, is of course, a fully democratic nation is easily directed by mass hysteria.. that is a country will typically go huge, rather temporary, swings in political opinion that has more to do with emotion then reason. For example: 9/11 or the stock market crash. Then again, skillful politicians can leverage this temporary lack of reason to rush through laws and garner more power in a short time.
That's why the USA (with the longest lasting democracy so far) was originally designed with a very weak and ineffect

That would take care of majority (if not all) of the politicians in the US for sure...
Great idea!

The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'.
We need a better legal system that doesn't bind the minds and souls of men with ropes of fear.
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
