Actually, this simply trains even knowledgeable users to ignore the warnings and "just click ok". This idea has its place, but right now it seems to cry wolf.
Perhaps if they had an option to immediately allow temporary acceptance of the certificate or similar...
Likewise it's not being forced down anyone's throat, but it becomes almost impossible to start over anymore, where even minor youthful indiscretions are laid bare even years later.
I don't think the privacy issue is with people not wanting to see the information about themselves. I think it is more about things like people not being able to control the harmful effects of other individuals looking up information.
To use your example, not only do the neighbors not have a case, our chronic masturbater would be the plaintiff who is upset that the neighbors were spying on him.
I know this is being pedantic, but you are missing a period after the quote or you should have moved it outside the quotes. The urge is too strong since you seem to be so happy harping on missing periods...
My girlfriend has been missing her period. Should I be worried?
Nuclear doesn't release CO2, and the waste is low volume and doesn't need to be filtered. Expecting to get enough power from pure "green" sources within the next 50 years is not reasonable, if you ask for perfection you will get nothing.
I was considering that radioactive waste, while not a CO2 emitter, does in fact release radiation by beta decay (ionizing radiation). This teratogenic nature coupled with typically long half life, and the scarcity of fissionable fuel makes nuclear power problematic at best.
We best go with something like solar. After all, our wind and hydrological cycles are ultimately solar-powered.
What kind of behavior are you considering outlawing here? Being a dick? You want to outlaw being a dick on the internet?
I can't speak for OP, but the behaviour we might want to look at is not simply being a dick, but conducting a calculated and sustained campaign of harrassment intended, with malice. to inflict serious physical &/or psychological damage on a specific individual. We might even want to extend it to a class of individuals to account for 'behaviours' such as planting epilepsy inducing graphics on epilepsy support boards and the like.
I agree with OP, that twisting an existing law for fear that this woman might get away with what she has done, when clearly she should not, is not an acceptable solution.
Isn't harassment already illegal, both civilly and criminally? Do we really need more laws to handle bad behavior that's already over-regulated?
No, what we need aren't more laws. What we need is to enforce the existing ones.
I am Steve Jobs, you insensitive clod!
Get it right: we don't like blowjobs...we like stevejobs
It was a joke. I suppose I can blame the missing humor on our wonderfully inadequate public school system, and lack of Engrish skills refined enuf 2 understand teh joke.
I'll have to try that. Still doesn't excuse NASA for using proprietary formats. What if in 20 years these codecs aren't available anymore due to architecture/etc? I think that's why there was a big push for Open XML based document formats in the recent past...
Has anyone out there converted these videos to something a little more standard? Quicktime.mov files aren't exactly accessable. Especially when some of us still refuse to install that blasted quicktime crap.

Okay, then, want to build a Large Hadron Collider? Or are you one of those people who think Hadrons should be left alone?
Maybe we should just leave the large hadrons alone. Everyone knows the small ones are where the money is.
You can sprinkle lead paint on your corn flakes and have silica sand for desert if you like.
I always like sand in my desert. Yum. Scorpions make it crunchier.

Is this the road we're going down? Pseudo-homophones of idiomatic phrases?
Yeah, yeah, grammar pedantry is bad. Nevertheless, this stuff hurts to read.
At least we're not going to go down the road of pseudo-homophobes. Then it might hurt for other reasons.
/me ducks.

coal, nuclear, and fuel powered sources and not solar, wind, or water sources
Fixed that for you.
Maybe he should use a spell chequer!!
That would be as cool as a witch who uses a hex editor!
electric universe explains it much better.
Maybe you should elaborate on that. EU theory is pretty expansive (and radical)
Why would W be in China?
Speaking of Hitler, why does this sort of technology always seem to come from Israel?
I'm calling a "Godwin's Law" on this one.
As for why Israel seems to generate this sort of tech, they forgot what the Nazis did to them. In effect, they've become the very thing they despise.
2 Kelvin. Not very many physics geeks here, are there?

im sorry but dats not an IP, its a MAC. just had to point dat out lol
Looks like IPv6 to me...
Gambit was my favourite X-man! threw those cards with kinetic energy and carried a long staff!
Personally, I think a large rock would be more effective than thrown cards, as the rock has more kinetic energy than a whole deck of cards.
Hey, look at me! I'm more powerful than Gambit!

Same thing I was thinking. And I seriously doubt a PC like this would run it with Wine.
But I bet it would barf on wine.

I encrypt using a one way algorithm know as "fire" that transforms all my secrets into ashes.
Since matter can not be destroyed, only changed, decryption is just around the corner. Also, AJAX will be used somehow.
Bay area venture capital welcome!
Try not to get any AJAX into the cuts on your hands, or the burns from your fire algorithm....it really hurts.
