RV Expos are more exciting than the new fucked up E3. The PC games market is in the toilet and swirling. Instead of trying to build up some hype and get it restarted, they're further toning down what used to be the biggest annual event in the video game world.
That level of ignorance is dangerous. In short, two wrongs don't make a right. If he was breaking the law, there is a procedure in place to deal with it. Investigate, go to a judge and get a warrant, go to a grand jury and indict. It was wrong then, and it's wrong now.
As soon as they make "dangerous thoughts" illegal, some asshole will be saying the same thing about you when they are violating your rights.
Rove had McCain painted as a liberal in 2000. That wasn't unfair. McCain made every effort to reach across the aisle to Democrats in the years leading up to the election.
You can't spent your whole career playing up how you're different from other Republicans and then get upset when someone reminds everyone else of it.
I don't celebrate his disbarrment because of his opinions. I celebrate it because he tries to subver the legal process to push his own agenda. He abuses the process for his own ends. He demeans the practice of law. He's an example of a sheister lawyer.
Beyond all of that, he's an asshole. I have engaged him in debate. When he was on Mike Reagan's radio show about 4-5 years ago I called in and cleaned his clock. There's a way to present an unpopular opinion without being abrasive. Jack Thompson doesn't do that. He intentionally draws the ire of others so that he can claim to be aggrieved.
So I'm quite happy that some asshole is getting what he's been begging for. I have no sympathy for Jack Thompson. Fuck him. Fuck him with red hot wire brush.
The purpose is to stop people from encouraging or enticing hate.
That's the problem, because there's nothing wrong with hate. I hate my first girlfriend, so what? As long as it's just feelings and words, there is nothing wrong with that.
Without such a carbon economy, what's really to stop people from sucking up all of the oxygen and pumping out carbon dioxide on a massive, teraformational scale?
No matter how heartless, cruel and greedy an executive might be, s/he and his/her family still have to live on the same planet as the rest of us.
Your competitor wants to keep tabs on you, see who you are meeting with and when. They know someone on the police force who needs a couple of bucks and can use their credentials to get tracking info. and call data.
Oh my god! Jones from WidgetCo is at the Starbucks on main street, call the boys in accounting...
We wouldn't be reading about it on/. and the prosecution would have had an easier time getting the conviction.
As long as he wasn't rich and famous, absolutely. The Prosecution would have actually called the wife as a witness to her own murder and STILL gotten the conviction.

It's the media that doesn't.
Media is plural, so it's "the media that don't."
Oh, and also the customer's don't.

I may be a right-wing idealog, but centrists are assholes.

Sorry, but any modern system where a command like "ls a*" may or may not work, based exclusively on the number of files in the directory, is broken.
Have you ever tried to get the contents of a directory on NT* when there are a buttload of files in it?
We encountered that a few months ago at work. A few hundred thousand log files in a single directory is not a good thing.

Ok, Hans did it. But OJ is still not guilty.

Sounds pretty useful in a production environment..
Production? PRODUCTION???? Of what, grass?

When the police are criminals, who do you call?

You don't really have much of a leg to stand on.

Apart from that, my slashdot UID is lower, my kids smarter, my wife prettier, and my crap smells like cinnamon rolls.
It's a losing proposition to get into comparing UIDs, I swear some of those two digit guys grep the RSS feeds just to find such threads.
I happen to agree with you about video rentals.
BTW, not only is my UID lower than yours, but my dick is bigger too.
LK
Wouldn't backing your data up be cheaper?
Absolutely, just like wearing a condom is cheaper than having a baby but sometimes don't take all necessary precautions.

Methane, if I remember correctly, is CH4.
For every two molecules that you burn you get two CO2 and four H2O, both of which are, you guessed it greenhouse gasses.

An attractive, young white woman...

Or, to put it another way: Who would you want sitting on your jury? Hans Reiser?
Middle class black people. These are the people who are most likely to believe that the police are just charging him because he's convienent.
LK
I have those exact same two books. I was thinking of emailing Darl a link to Amazon's pages for them.

Congratulations, you've become what you hate and you didn't even realize it.
I sir, will NEVER become a Democrat.
