That doesn't matter to my point at all. You are reaping the benefits of the taxes of others. As long as you are accepting the benefits of a taxed society taxes have a lot more in common with a commercial transaction than theft.
No I find the idea objectionable altogether, but I understand that their hands are tied by the law. Given the choice of vile censorship that relies on a strict computer review and one where a human can apply a minimal sanity check, I'll take the harm reduction measure. Think of it like a needle exchange program. Yeah heroin is bad and heroin with a dirty needle is worse.
If you must filter you should flag for review an not simply bounce. There are legitimate uses for many of the words on your list and it is unreasonable to limit academic discourse because words have dual meanings.
Remember when Katrina made landfall it was only a category 3 and Wilma made landfall as a 5. Wilma is barely remembered. Where it hits matters much more than raw strength. They aren't evacuating the entire city, just the most vulnerable areas, which is simply good practice.
Barring some type of court order to establish that, I do. Process matters in these things. I don't want my telecom provider making moral judgements on when to hand over my information to anyone else.
Restricting the freedoms of those teens encourages an erosion of rights in the future for everyone. Part of the reason that people sit quietly for the current crop of rights violations is that they came up in a school system that taught them that basic human rights were subject to conditions of belong to a certain class of people. If the problem is groups of teens beating and robbing people prosecute them for beating and robbing people. Violent crowds of adults have done the same thing.
They could have simply left it at increased costs and an attempt to bring in new content. No need to bad mouth anyone. Instead they tried to sell it as an improvement in its own right.
So the shareholders get the financial benefits of the hacking, but shouldn't face a risk to the assets? If I founded a company that performed the acts alleged against NoTW the least I would face would be the seizure of assets. This isn't a case of one or two bad employees the scale of the acts shows it was an endemic problem at the paper. Part of due diligence should damn sure include being sure your profits aren't coming from criminal acts.
Even an uncharitable view of pirates as bloodthirsty mercenaries is more positive than the best spin you could put on murder tourists. I'd rather trust a guy who kills for money than someone who is willing to pay money to kill. Their reward structure is slightly more healthy.
Most modern behavior looked at without its social component can look frankly insane and irrational. That is why any diagnosis of mental illness that is going to be of any use needs to see if an otherwise irrational belief is a product of the larger culture. The Nacirema come to mind in these conversations.
It would be, if people made cool rational decisions when committing crimes. The fact is that people aren't rational actors in many situations and are more easily swayed by visible evidence than intellectual evidence.

I'm wondering who the initial external auditor who missed the cert not being revoked in the first check. They need to be named and shamed as well.
Irene killed more people than Dennis in the US and caused more economic damage.

Says the guy on the internet, a creation funded by those tax dollars.

No, they don't. http://www.psych.utah.edu/AppliedCognitionLab/HFES2004-000597-1.pdf The risks are increased, but no where near as much as using a cell phone.

Yes they are wrong, and so is RIM for handing over the private communications of their subscribers to a third party.

With the situations in Greece, Portugal, and Ireland the Euro isn't at its most stable either.
Riots and other lockdown situations. Your home probably never has hostage situations, stabbings, and the risk of coordinated attacks on the staff.
The problem with that line of thought is that our high density areas do poorly when compared to other countries.
Worse than that, they passed it on to the merchants who passed it on to everyone else regardless of payment method.

No, the US has the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act that was created for situations much like this.
The same chain he references Half Price books does well in Cleveland as well. Cleveland has just dipped below its1900 population level.
They weren't charged under US law because 1 they aren't in the US, 2 the situation is still developing, 3 they have enough clout to likely avoid charges that others would face. Bribery http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jul/18/news-corp-global-investigation-bribery Obstruction. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/phone-hacking/8639107/Phone-hacking-Rupert-Murdochs-American-legal-woes-mount-up.html
RICO for one. Bribery and obstruction of justice both fall under RICO.

I know when I'm looking for fashion shopping secrets I turn to IT forums.
