There are human testers involved. I did this for a while. Basically you get thrown 10 pages that are mostly all alike and you have to pick the best one.
If there are 10 pages that are mostly alike, you should mark them all down and let originality succeed instead.
You know why the US isn't gunning down protesters in the streets? Because they don't need to. Our propaganda system is still the best in the world, and most people still buy into the American Dream. That won't last forever, and eventually you won't just see the fringe left on the streets, but everyman. That's when they'll bring out the guns.
As for adopting the ways which the State has provided for remedying the evil, I know not of such ways. They take too much time, and a man's life will be gone. I have other affairs to attend to. I came into this world, not chiefly to make this a good place to live in, but to live in it, be it good or bad. A man has not everything to do, but something; and because he cannot do everything, it is not necessary that he should do something wrong. It is not my business to be petitioning the Governor or the Legislature any more than it is theirs to petition me; and if they should not hear my petition, what should I do then? But in this case the State has provided no way; its very Constitution is the evil. This may seem to be harsh and stubborn and unconciliatory; but it is to treat with the utmost kindness and consideration the only spirit that can appreciate or deserves it. So is any change for the better, like birth and death which convulse the body. Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience, 1849
If a sample could be taken could the DNA not be recreated?
Yes, absolutely. Creating short stretches of DNA with known sequences is well established technology. All you need to get a 1 in a trillion DNA sequence is 20 base pairs (4^20 > 1 trillion). Oligonucleotides of that length can be custom designed and purchased for a few bucks.
There's a reason why they put free speech in the first amendment. Even if you don't think free speech is important in itself, you cannot advocate for causes you actually believe strongly in without free speech. Free speech is a prerequisite for any sort of functioning political apparatus.
Bottled water companies could claim ownership over tap water coming out of my faucet, if a law existed granting them that ownership. Similarly music companies can't claim ownership over a CD that I bought from them, unless a law existed granting that ownership.
When you use tap water, you are getting that water from an authorized source (ie the water company has the right to sell you that water).
You're begging the question. If there was a concept of 'drinkingright' analogous to copyright then the municipal source would not be authorized. And if we lacked a concept of copyright like we lack a concept of drinkingright, then everyone would be an authorized source. Unless the government steps in and enforces a monopoly, the municipal water source has the right to sell the water it owns, and I have the right to sell copies of the DVDs I own.
Still don't follow. The fact that she's a girl is only relevant if you expect to fuck her. That just leaves the fact that she's a better programmer than you. There have to be less risky ways to find people who can program better than you.

but here's the brilliant part of that equation: someone had come up with a "login script" idea, that used ntpdate to set the time.
Holy crap. I can understand being ignorant of ntpd, but not even being aware of cron is criminal.

Why do you assume that will never happen? I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.

Informative? Abiogenic petroleum is more than a little controversial. It can't be ruled out, but it's far from mainstream geological opinion.
That is exactly what the corporatists that run this country want. And if you complain, you're a lazy hippie who needs to get a job.
That's what I meant when I said 'custom designed'. Any arbitrary sequence you want to replicate can be had for a few bucks.
A simple counter example would be more effective.

What, that I treat people in a gender neutral manner unless their gender is relevant?
You can't have it both ways. Understanding why free speech is important, and failing to defend it just makes you a hypocrite.
So is the government.
Everyone's a jackass to someone. If the First Amendment doesn't protect jackasses, it won't protect you.
As it stands, this type of thing is clearly indicates immature people who crave attention
Agreed. Anyone who would report someone to the police for the content of their SSID string is an immature attention whore.
It's not the responsibility of the host to find the offending file. It's the offending file should be clearly identified in the DMCA complaint.
If I make the same game out of wood blocks do you suddenly not have an intrinsic right to it?
Yes, I have the right to take it apart, figure out how it works, and reproduce it just like any other piece of property.

Are you claiming that disputing The Bell Curve is equivalent to claiming that intelligence has no genetic basis?
Who are you trying to caricature here? Has anyone actually made that argument, or are you just knocking down straw men?
If the mass is boiling away then it has to be in a spiral orbit and will intersect with the star soon.
Imagine a candy bar in orbit around a star. Now break that candy bar in half. Are the pieces going to fall into the sun suddenly?
