You in 1857: "The court clearly said Dred Scott isn't a person, so why are you still talking about his 'human rights'? Accept the verdict and quit persecuting those slaveowners!"
A criminal trial is a fallible process, even to the limited extent that its purpose is to actually discern the truth. This should be beyond obvious, but that goes double when a trial pits authoritarian systems of social control against the rights of historically disadvantaged and abused groups, including minorities, juveniles and alleged "delinquents". No one here, except perhaps you, is claiming that they "just know!" anything about this case. There is no reason free people cannot review the evidence and reach our own conclusions, regardless of what actions an imperfect and often biased judicial system took.
But but but......Apple and KDE and GNOME and Google don't have to bundle other browsers so the EU sucks and just wants to hurt a successful MERKIN company!!!!!
I imagine it'd be pretty difficult to build a successful merkin company in this economy.
Actually, why hasn't someone done a benign version of that already? (Or have they?) A virus using whatever infection vectors true malware does, with no payload other than a message that informs the user exactly how they got infected -- "If this was a real virus, you could've lost your data when you opened that suspicious email attachment/allowed ActiveX from this sketchy website/failed to secure port XX with a firewall." White-hat involuntary pentesting but on the global scale of something like Conficker.
Python's range() makes more sense if you look at it without an explicit starting value. range(5) returns [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] -- the legal indices for a list of five items.
If the 90/10 market share is true, then those systems should have 10% of the virus market by that logic.
That's not entirely true. The relatively high fixed costs of learning an OS's security model and writing a new virus to take advantage of that, compared to the relatively small cost of tweaking existing viruses written to exploit an OS you already understand well suggests malware authors would stick with Windows even as Linux desktop share grows to avoid duplication of costs and enjoy the advantages of economies of scale.
So "there's no viruses because it's not popular" is false, but virus targeting will not strictly follow market share for a variety of economic reasons, until Linux share passes a tipping point where the value that can be extracted from untapped targets exceeds the startup costs of writing viruses for a new security paradigm.
Publishing the names of the accused has value beyond letting you know who (allegedly) is commiting crimes. It also serves as a check on the state's ability to lock up whoever they want for whatever reason they conceive. The public has no ability to judge the propriety of "a 26-year-old white male" getting arrested, or to come forward with information that might be relevant to the investigation. It's a lot easier if you know who they are, and it's vital to the fight against the police state.

Someone ask Bush's former bioethics council chairman Leon Kass if this is more or less offensive to bioethical dignity than eating an ice cream cone on the sidewalk.
Remember Rudy Guiliani telling the press that an innocent guy shot by NYC cops "was no altar boy" when, in fact, he was literally an altar boy at the same Catholic school Guiliani attended.
Your assumption that there is no evidence that he wasn't in Princeton might be false (see Glenn Greenwald's reporting). In addition, the fed are painting contradictory pictures of Ivins when it suits them: was he a sorority-obsessed homicidal madman in the middle of a psychiatric breakdown or a meticulous criminal mastermind leaving no detail to chance?
Glenn Greenwald reports that the alleged timeline of Ivins' activities on the day the anthrax was mailed seems to rule him out as the one who sent the letter from Princeton. He attended a meeting he couldn't have made it back for in time if he had driven to Princeton and mailed it late enough that the letter was postmarked for the following day.

If that actually was cheaper, they'd probably be doing it already. Why do you think they became dicks in the first place, for the fun of it?

Wow! That's less time than it would take to figure out why you would actually want to watch that.
Christianity sure gave the colonizers who've been enslaving and swindling the continent for centuries a fine moral base.

Ich bin ein Berliner. Or, at least my IP is.

Maybe not for ordinary firefighters, but I imagine that's exactly how you train an arson investigator, which seems like the more apt analogy.
