Does humanity survive in that one too? You think you're going to go see a nice happy disaster movie where everyone dies and then the "twist" ending has humanity survive after all.
Why yes, I've worked in tech support, why are you asking?
For recent examples I blame 24 and Law and Order: SVU for convincing the masses that extraordinary ticking time bomb and [insert trendy 'vulnerable' group here] in imminent peril from evil mastermind [murderer|rapist|deviant] scenarios are very ordinary. People think this so to get [re-]elected politicians show how tough on crime they are by cutting the 'red tape' that 'protects' the criminals.
I think all these questions about the attacks in support of Wikileaks being a false flag operation are just a false flag operation to make it look more plausible that they are a false flag operation.
It's conspiracies and useful idiots all the way down.
Have you listened to music at 16kbps? 96k is about as low as I'll go. Somethings aren't tolerable under 256k or 320k. Low bitrates are fine for talk but not music.
Back in the day I worked at a place that banned streaming audio because one day there wasn't enough bandwidth for the actual business applications to go about their business when everyone was listening to their streamed music.
Since the TFA only links back to other SL articles and a blog, it doesn't say that Amazon is pulling them off of Kindles and the last round was Amazon removing the books from THEIR servers, not Kindles. If you had it on the device or backed up, you were fine. If you removed it then tried to download it again you'd be SOL.
As Anonymous has taught us, for the internet generation, once a business starts doing something online they aren't allowed to stop doing it, for any reason.
"The US did after all blockade oil going to japan, can you imagine the united states' response if someone blockaded oil to america?"
You may want to look up the difference between embargo and blockade. Unless the "after all" meant after hostilities started the US blockaded Japan. But that would involve some time travel to make a blockade a reason for war, since that happened after Pearl Harbor.
If you're going to be analyzing it for blackmail purposes why not analyze it for assassination purposes? If they've got some malady or condition it might make them much more susceptible to something that doesn't bother the normal population.
Rube Goldberg's got nothing on the US government when it comes to convoluted schemes to assassinate someone. Russia, on the other hand, will just kill you.
"However, it simultaneously removes the reason for that punishment."
Unless suicide is a step in time travel, the reason for the punishment still exists, he broke his oath. It removes him, not the reason.
"Causing someone to suicide is as big of a deterrent to others as the death penalty"
The death penalty hasn't been an effective deterrent for other crimes, why would it be for this?
"I would also posit that that satisfaction is pathological, and damaging to the victims themselves." "and you'll excuse me if I don't shed a tear for the so called 'victims' of this crime,"
Seems like you are getting satisfaction from the victim.
That's if you're only counting above-the-table pay and monetary benefits. Under-the-table and non-monetarily they probably do quite well. Why else would individuals willingly pay out millions of their own money to run a campaign that may not work?
If you say civic duty I've got a bridge or two to sell you.

Is a belieber a fanatical Bieber fan?
It would seem Apple bashing is a fashion accessory and social opiate around here.
Gotta love the /. hipsters.

Fly, yes. Land, no.

So not having a SD slot *IS* a feature.
Zuckerberg may be evil but outside of delusions of grandeur he's not that Evil.
And "just sayin'" has got to right up there with smilies and "with all due respect".
Considering the amount of posts here that boil down to "we must force X to do Y, for Freedom!" I can see why you posted AC.

Or people doing it for the lulz.
A retailer not having a choice in what products they sell does seem to be a common opinion here. (It's for freedom of course.)
Note the "back in the day". Past tense, what is doesn't affect what was.

Skype can eat a lot of bandwidth.
Did Amazon even notice Anonymous's little temper tantrum?

"Better to die free than live a slave."
Easy words for an internet tough guy.

Letting Manning decide when to end his own punishment sort of defeats the point of the punishment as a consequence for his actions.
To suffer is to live, the dead don't suffer. He just wants Manning to live.
That'd be under the non-monetary portion.

A State Department job would be great but it'd be quite a hassle to move and I doubt I'd pass the psych exam.
Who watches the watchmen? It's an ancient problem.
