This reminds me of the system I want to build one of these days with all drink-dispensers hooked up to a voice-recognition system that parses commands:
"Computer! Make one martini, shaken not stirred! Engage!"
Actually, I don't think the defendant wasted any money. He didn't even show up. The district court obviously spent some time on the case, but it ended up making a valuable (if small) contribution to the legal theory of this country. Good for them; from a lawyer's standpoint that's probably a better use of their resources than going over yet another drug case. In fact, the only real losers here are the RIAA. And that doesn't tickle you, WTF are you doing here?
Yeah, bigotry against stupid people is intolerant and insensitive. People need to put aside their prejudices and learn to accept stupid people. Because we're all part of one big family---the human family.
Which brings us to the real point of TFA. Guy from Intel talking up ways to bring the gaming market back to Intel chips. This isn't about console vs. PC, it's about Pentium vs. PowerPC.
You're missing the point. In fact, the point that you got was the exact opposite of the actual point. We've had the One True Way for 8 years now. Evidence...hah! We don't need no stinkin' evidence, we already know we're right!
The scientist, having an understanding of the issues at stake, and the trade-offs in play, will be able to make informed decisions.
Here's what would happen if I stepped through one of those.
Oh God, Oh God, they're going to show me a picture of Osama bin Laden and get my reaction. What if I mess up? What if I secretly admire Osama bin Laden? They'll think I'm a terrorist. I already have a beard! What if I am a terrorist and I just don't know it yet, like Tyler Durden? What if by trying to not get caught by the sensors it causes the sensors to pick up my brainwaves. Oh, God, here it comes! I hate Osama bin Laden! No, I like Osama bin Laden! How do I feel about Osama bin Laden? What if this machine can read that I have an itch in my crotch?
Yes. Give KDE a few more years to come out with KDE 5, break everything all over again, and insist that they'll be ready for prime time in another few years.
Some are. Some are undercover vice cops. There is a plethora of news articles about, "The Oldest Profession Goes High-Tech," and give myriad examples of prostitutes, and johns, busted through Craigslist.
If you ever watched the TV show, "Secret Diary of a Call Girl," they mention prostitution web sites a lot, where hookers advertise and johns give reviews. I did some Googling around and yes, those sites exist, and are considered "safer" than Craigslist. I read through the forums on one of them and found it extremely entertaining---everything sexual or illegal is referred to in code words, there are Q&A sections and prostitution FAQs, etiquette guides, etc.
That said, my interest is purely academic and I've never tried it, so I can't give any advice for "your friend."
I don't have first-hand knowledge, but I'm pretty sure that the smarter prostitutes pay income tax anyway, and list their occupation as something legal. You pretty much need a bank account, especially if you're in a job that dangerous. That's a paper trail; vice cops are one thing, but the IRS is a beast nobody wants to tangle with.
Of course, it's easy to tax brothels. I believe that one of the reasons why the Nevada cathouses have never been shut down is the fact that so much of the municipal government's revenue comes from taxing prostitution. Brothels, of course, have their own unique problems, though.

Not until the Baby Boomers finally die off. They weren't supposed to live past 30, you know.
But it did make the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs.
It's never going to be possible to completely rid the Internet of Grammar Nazis---they're something we're just going to have to put up with.
But we can be passive-aggressive like hell.

Hey, I can add my MouseListener to my JButton like a badass!
Somebody mod this "sad".....

The only thing I ever use Lynx for is Googling how to configure X.org.

Double points if you respond to it so that you can argue with me.
Dude, the bubble burst almost nine years ago.
Sorry, I meant county governments. Brothels pay an annual fee to the county government for a license to operate.
So you mean, pretty likely.

Eating is legal. Babies are legal. So why isn't eating babies legal? ;-)

I'm going to bookmark this post, then check back here in twenty years. Hopefully it will be good for a laugh.
You don't need a plugin for that. In fact, you don't need to plug anything in at all.
It will be the killer app for the Year of the Linux Desktop.
From the GNU FAQ:
"[I]f someone pays your fee and gets a copy, the GPL gives them the freedom to release it to the public, with or without a fee. For example, someone could pay your fee, and then put her copy on a web site for the general public."
So what's the difference?
