Prison is not right for these kinds of crimes. Much better to tattoo the word "THIEF" across his forehead and cut him loose. He can be a janitor at McDonalds. Just don't give him the only key to the wahrooms...
No joke.. We've dug...how deep? 5 miles? I'll be generous, 10 miles.. Cool we got 3,990 more to go.. approximately? Please, all you chicken littles... What are we gonna run out of next? Air? Oopsy daisy, you might have a point there. Meh, can't get that from space either... But there's plenty of that underground too actually..
Well you have to put your pinky up to your lips when demanding it. Then, of course your assistant will discretely inform you about diminished value of the dollar.... You know the rest of the story. It did result in a launch though. I guess that means it was successful.
The problem is that we give to much power to data, particularly computer data. Too many regard it as infallible. Another big problem the concept of a general, do-all machine that we try to make computers into. It's like using a combination tractor-trailer/backhoe/airplane/boat to take the wife and kids to church. Let's break them down into specialized appliances. If you remember how the old factories worked, they had one big, giant motor drive the the whole works. Later they found it much better to give each tool its own portable power source. Doing the same for computers might make them much more trustworthy and reliable. You know who's coming close to that? Apple. They have always been the most appliance like. Everybody's complaining about the iPad's limitations. Well that may just be what is needed. Let's consider it as an appliance instead of a "computer".
Ok, troll/flamebait/overrated. The offtopic mod showed a real comprehension problem. But yeah, some people are too lazy to make even a feeble effort see the context the message is wrapped in (?)
I would definitely love to see how you would have treated runaway slaves in the early 1800s. Personally I'm not going to take you seriously. This seems way off base from your regular posts. Or maybe you really believe that "freedom and justice for all" is just a nice soundbite. Please, save your appeals to law, those mind tricks don't work on me. A selectively enforced law is no law to me, and it needs to be rendered unenforceable.
There are more respectful way to upload the law. This new rule is quite the opposite. One of those ways might be to go after the tax cheating employers that hire them. But the government wont touch the major offenders. They simply have too much clout. A law that disrespects me will get no respect from me either. My obligation is defeat this by any means possible. It is corrupt law.
Oh go fuck yourself! You obviously don't speak English.
I was replying to this aspect of the post, Right, but computers can be dangerous tools. You are expected to prove some basic competency before you are licensed to drive. Same thing with operating heavy machinery.
If you send out a message to a ton of clients and use CC instead of BCC.... you are in deep trouble.
Not even nearly as harmful as a crane falling on your head, or some old fart running you down because he hit the gas instead of the brakes. It's not that users aren't ready for computers, it's that computers aren't ready for the users. Cars weren't either until at least the 30s or 40s
Or we could spend our time seeing that the government does the job right. Not bloody likely, but hey.. the choice is there.. I'm a bit more results oriented than some, so please, permit me to pick what I think is the best method to "improve the human condition". Let me do my thing and send the money off to let the professionals do theirs
...but they virtually always have nontrivial regulatory systems.
Then a free market truly is nothing more than a neo-liberal's dream. Because there will always be some third party attempting to skim something off the transaction, through tax, regulation, prohibition, etc
Well, I have to grant that they just finished the thing... I think. I suppose the first experiment should be a better toilet and other waste disposal problems. Farming.. And cooking. There are few things more important than good food.

Everything you need is right under your feet...

Getcher damn waivers! Or you're going to jail! Stand up goddammit!
Let the Mexican drug lords roll over the Arizona border with their machine guns...
Abolish prohibition, and...POOF!
As for your second degree? Do they offer empathy? And for the third? Depends how well you do on the second :-)
Yep... Nukes!

In some (extreme) cases someone failing to use BCC instead of CC could cost a company just as much...
Who the hell cares? I sure don't. Human life trumps money or reputation any day of the week. But then I'm probably in the minority on that one.

They are stealing your time. I hope people can clog things up real good for this. Fight it every way you can. It's outrageous.

Not just for IT folks, but for anybody above the level of janitor with any kind of decision making responsibility.
Well, the weed has been known to affect your.... what were we talking about agin?
What, is it okay for the war monger to shake you down?
Look, it's either me or them. You're gettin' fucked one way or the other.

But I haven't read the article yet, and I'm pretty sure the summary is wrong.. you know... past history, and all that...

Sometimes law is the polar opposite of common sense
Actually you're right. Contraband is the perfect example, the epitome, of the free market. Totally unregulated.
Well, I have to grant that they just finished the thing... I think. I suppose the first experiment should be a better toilet and other waste disposal problems. Farming.. And cooking. There are few things more important than good food.
I fully expect that. But most people seem confused on who to blame.
We'll them on the one with Rosie O'Donnell and send it to the sun.
