Another moron for totalitarianism. Yes, you can be stripped searched for a minor traffic offense. No, it is not "normal" to arrest you for such an offense, but the officer can decide to do so. Once you are placed in custody, you can be stripped searched thanks to this clueless decision.
Are you retarded? Who in the fuck do you think decides who goes into "general prison population"? Wait! I bet that you still don't get it. OK Simon, here goes: you are arrested. You are taken to the jail and put in a holding cell. If the officer wants to strip search you, all he or she has to do is move you to general population, and now you "may" be strip searched. The decision provides no limitations or guidelines on who may, or why they may be moved into general population. So, hello, the ruling does indeed mean that the Court has approved strip searches for any arrestable offense.
Until we have votes weighted by tested IQ, we will continue the fall into totalitarianism.
Fry's is still a kick ass place to shop. Their prices are comparable to Amazon, so I buy stuff their all the time - especially when I can't wait for shipping.
You have no problem with it until the day comes when you are in someone's way. Then someone will "give" you something to hide. Only you won't have a chance. Sure the chance that this will happen to "you" is infinitesimal, but the chance that it will happen to someone is nearly certain. Do I really need to extend my line of thought here any further? Or are you OK with powerful people being able to eliminate anyone who threatens their power?
I think all these strategies are easily defeated: Wardriving child porn downloader ignores your low bandwidth open ap, acquires your secure ap signal, cracks your encryption, ids one of your mac addresses, and then, at a random later date, spoofs it for his bad stuff activities.
Not just research, but invention proceeding from said research. Guess what? It's already been done. It was brilliantly done 90 years ago. Check my sig for a lead to the identity of the culprit...
We don't have a "spending problem". That is FUD. We have a monetary system problem. The kindergarten version runs like this: our currency is debt based. In order to expend the currency in circulation, which is necessary to avoid deflation, we have to take out more and more loans, both public and private, which involve the payment of more and more interest, which needs to be paid for with other loans, and so forth in a vicious circle.
Fortunately, the solution is kindergarten simple as well. Ban the practice of fractional reserve lending, and slowly but steadily expand the currency supply by having the federal government write a relatively small check, to be given to each and every citizen each year. The amount of the check should be determined by a strict formula related to national productivity. Notice I did not say "having the Federal Reserve" write the check, as once you have eliminated fractional reserve lending, there is no point to the continued existence of the Federal Reserve.
The problem is that, though Nokia have proven that they are pretty adroit, no, the most adroit, in the hardware realm, they have also proven that they are morons in the UI realm. Symbian's UI sucked horribly! What makes you think that anyone at Nokia has the slightest clue as to which way to jump software wise?
Here's a handout idea: a cd with a bunch of installs for useful Windows open source and/or truly freeware apps. Stuff people can install anywhere with a totally clear conscience.
What is "intimidating" about saying that you find some people disgusting and that they deserve ridicule? That is not a threat of violence, and is not an act of vandalism such as the examples you try to sneak in the back door. I find many people disgusting and ridicule them mercilessly. Now I'm guilty of bias intimidation for ridiculing people who pick their nose in public?
I note your phrase, "every right to privacy". I see this same sentiment repeatedly expressed. However what nearly everyone seems to forget is that this was not Tyler's private bedroom. It was a "shared" dorm room. Is there a dorm council "Sexual Activity Policy" that specifies how roommates are supposed to provide "private time" for each other's assignations? I bet not. What "right" did Tyler have to engage in sexual activity in the shared dorm space? Ravi had a shitty lawyer I fear.
But, it was not "his home". It was "their home" and yet Tyler didn't seem to have a problem with "doing it" in an open dorm room. No, putting a webcam up is not the right thing to do, but Ravi (and a few friends) walking in on the tryst would not be something that would have or should have been all that unexpected. What's the difference, when you get right down to it?
We bailed out the banks because they own us. All the rest is noise to obscure that fact. How do they own us? No money is circulated unless a bank makes a loan. All they have to do is threaten to stop making loans. It's all in my sig --->
No, you should wait until you are in a bunch of trouble, then use that information about your friend as a bargaining chip to get yourself out of trouble. What kind of lame snitch informs just because somebody did something immoral?
What other Author on this page has such devoted fans that a number of them got together and produced a complete re-editing and re-printing of nearly everything he ever wrote?
Right, that is why the secret to a healthy society is relatively high income tax rates for high earners. Forces them to think long term, and that benefits everyone. Trickle down is such bullshit.
The government does not need to force anyone to provide any information or artifacts whatsoever to prosecute *real* criminals. The only reason this crap has raised it's hideous head is that for years and years the government has been prosecuting millions of John Q. Citizens for things that are in no ethical sense crimes. If you have stolen tangible property, or killed or injured someone, evidence can be gathered with no cooperation on your part. The rest of it is fucking bullshit! Fuck, you fucking morons! The fact that I have to make this post to point this out betrays your complicity in the ongoing miasma. Yes, I mean you. And you. And you too.

WTF do I care if someone cracks my slashdot password? Are they going to steal my karma?
I care about my bank account password, and, trust me, that is not used anywhere else.
For values of "saves" that include ruined lives.

Good luck finding this in the US. I sure couldn't - not with data anyway.
Um, isn't possible that the "solution" might dictate that the player who plays second can always win?

Read Clifford Hugh Douglas, the greatest economist who has ever lived! He figured out what you are saying back in the 20s and much more beside that.
