Yes, jury nullification is important, but it still kind of comes down to reverse-vigilantism; a random group of people deciding that someone isn't a criminal, even though the law says they are.
Kind of like an automated comment filtering system that flags words like "breast" but which can be overridden by a random group of moderators who realize that the phrase "breast cancer" is not offensive.
I'll trust the random group of 12 people over the blanket "law" any day. Of course, in the ideal world I wouldn't have to place my trust in 12 people who just want to GTFO and GBTW but I'll take what I can get.
He should have used gold-plated Monster cables. Not only would they have increased the screen resolution, they might have actually increased the physical size as well.
Problem is, people tend to base religions on them and interpret them to suit their own beliefs. Future generations might be baptized in holy deuterium.
The video implies with this new layout you won't generate typos and you won't experience autocorrect failure. Problem is, with ANY small virtual keyboard (meaning without feedback or tactile differentiation between individual keys) you'll press the wrong key fairly often. That means typos. And with typos (or even without) come autocorrect suggestions, and with autocorrect suggestions come autocorrect failure. Until computers have a direct link to your brain to interpret what you typed into what you meant to type, this will always be the case.
Executable files should have some kind of visual clue that can not be faked and is added by the OS and only to executable files.
Technically any file is executable in the sense that when you double-click it, the OS may launch an associated app. For example, if you double-click a PDF file your OS usually launches a PDF viewer. And if we're talking Adobe Reader, you're potentially asking for a world of hurt if the PDF file contains an exploit. So you either have to warn the user every time they're about to launch an executable (in which case they will ignore the warning since it pops up every time), or only the first time. And then virus writers will program their malware to strike only upon second launch. So your scheme is still useless.
News flash: people in NYC do the same thing. Not because they fear their car will end up in Poland, but because they fear it will be broken into, their possessions will be stolen, and the car might even be taken as well. Whether it ends up in Poland or a Bronx chop shop is irrelevant.
People without an SSN or driver's license are legitimately able to apply for an account with the local utility. Just because you have one doesn't mean you're required to provide it.

It's like the Godwinning of socialism.

This is just long-term couchsurfing. Nothing to see, move along now.
This is why I still use my Motorola StarTAC.
Stretch the tape to twice its length and you'll DOUBLE your storage capacity!
Upon first reading the headline I assumed "BitCoin Card" meant a processor card for generating BitCoins.
Where are those mod points when you need them?
No, they created Windows 8 before somebody added the word "epic" to the slogan.

"Thank you for calling USA Prime Credit, my name is Peggy."
Those who have a piece of burned paper in hand, which used to say "I fight fires."
If you write code, are you a programmer?
Wonder if the folks at 37signals.com sued for defamation of character.

Maybe their "friendship" with you is the source of their unhappiness?

No, Australians just turned the conventional economic theory upside-down.

No, it's still "hacking", albeit illegal. "Cracking" usually refers to breaking copy-protection schemes.

You forgot to host the entire OS in a VM that gets reinitialized daily from a fresh install.
"X has died" is one of the most common form of vandalism. It has to be verified. Better to wait a few hours and be sure.
