  1. Re:innocent...not on Thomas Drake Innocent of All Ten Original Charges · · Score: 1

    /.ers tend to handle intersection in a weird way. A intersects B implies A = B. "Not guilty" intersects Innocent so "Not guilty" = Innocent. Top it off with some rigid binary thinking, Guilty XOR "Not Guilty" and Bob's your uncle.

    It's for FREEEDOMMMM!!! In the name of freedom, we must force every store to carry everything, whether they want to or not, otherwise they are taking away our freedom.

    "this historically means "go ahead you're clear.""

    That's news to me. It traditionally means "clear the way, I'm moving faster than you."

    You'd have to wipe out all the other bean growers, the black and grey bean markets and all the people with the $99/year bean licenses to have a point.

    According to some at /., no. In the name of freedom you must be forced to sell any and all beans, whether you want to or not.

    You must have forgot your /. logic. If C is a member of A intersection B then A = B.

    The two LEDs on my MBP are the one on the mag safe connector and the one by the camera. Apple designs don't follow the "you won't need any other lighting in the room" strategy that most other cases do.

    Canada had plans to invade and capture North Dakota up until a decade or so ago.

    "Posting anonymously to save my karma."

    Let your karma burn. Haters gonna hate and there's a lot of haters here on /.. Let the non-haters see there are still some other /.ers that aren't frothing at the mouth at the mere mention of Apple. Post with bonus karma so that it takes an extra hater mod point to knock it down to 0 or -1.

    /. likes to willfully not see the forest for the trees as they only see each tree individually and separate from all other trees. In other words the "this packet is the same as that packet, why should they care!" argument.

    "You do realize a broken clock is right twice a day, right?"

    That implies it is stopped.

    There may be many modes of failure but the selection that gives you the right time exactly twice (without giving any other constraints) narrows it down a lot.

    Leaving leap units aside, there are (24 x 60 =) 1440 minutes in a day. Twice in those 1440 minutes the clock will be correct, so it is right 2/1440 (0.138888...)of the time.

    If it has a second hand, there are (24 x 60 x 60 =) 86400 seconds in a day. Twice in those 86400 seconds the clock will be correct, so it is right 2/86400 (0.0023148148...%) of the time.

    Sorry sir, can this not be a murder today? It'd be rather inconvenient with my schedule.

    The robber has the choice to murder or not, that's not the victim's choice.

    I've got this nice bridge for sale. Only used by a little old lady to go to church on Sundays.

    Unless your crooks schedule their robberies ahead of time, they have the advantage of the element of surprise which can be used to leverage a less-lethal-than-a-gun weapon into a as-lethal-as-a-gun weapon. Law abiding citizens should be able to legally have an equal footing as the criminal.

    I may just be selfish, but I'd prefer not being robbed at all. This is selfish, but I really don't care what the robber's chance of dying is since they were the one to choose to take that chance. The robbee doesn't get to make that choice. The robbee doesn't know what level of force the robber intends to employ against them.

    Our crooks don't offer you a cup of tea while they rob your house.

    The crook's gun isn't just for shooting cops. It's handy for convincing people to not put up a fight whilst relieving them of their worldly possessions. Criminals like things being easy. That's why they are criminals.
