Not kidding in any way shape or form. People have gone to jail for doing much less than fingering someone against her will. You are the one who has got to be kidding. Rape is wrong even if you don't enjoy it.
If the alleged event actually did take place, blogs are the wrong place to rant about it
When your rights are violated by the powerful it is your DUTY to expose their crimes anywhere and in any way you can. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
if the employee was doing her job the way she had to do it, why ruin her life?
Because she accepted a job where she was required to sexually assault people. She deserves to be put up against the wall and shot with the rest of the TSA thugs.
And what happens when the Customs agent decides your daughter is cute and decides to check for contraband? You have even fewer rights at a border crossing than in an airport.
"Crash blossom", that's a new one for me. Reminds me of "mondegreens". Both these linguistic phenomena have names derived from an actual intance. I wonder if there's a name for that linguistic phenomenon, and I wonder if it derives from an actual instance of that phenomenon.
Good question! Non-open hardware would be a deal breaker for me. The obvious competitors to this device, the Arduino and the Beagle Board are both open. Refusing to open the hardware for this device would just be shooting yourself in the foot.
The BBC Model A shipped with 16K of RAM and BASIC on ROM. I have an MP3 player in my pocket that has 8 meg of RAM and a Lua interpreter. Hardware requirements are absolutely not an obstacle to providing a programming environment out of the box.
His basic premise is that almost any socioeconomic system can work provided that there is rule of law and private property rights. Take away these things and nothing works, whether it be capitalism, socialism, communism or anything else.
Notably, we are losing both of those cornerstones in America. Hundreds of billions of dollars were misappropriated in the years leading up to the financial crisis of 2008 and not one person has even been indicted criminally.
Bakunin saw that Marx was right in his analysis of capitol, but did not appreciate the dangers of the state either. He famously said "liberty without socialism is privilege, injustice; and that socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality". Marx accurately predicted the end state of Capitalism. Bakunin accurately predicted the end state of Marxism.
Even REALLY low standard courts like traffic court, I've seen them reject digital photo evidence. Getting a court like that to accept, say, a GPG key? Not a chance.
It's traffic court. You won't get them to accept any evidence whatsoever. They are there to collect fines, nothing else.
It's pretty clearly been squandered. We could have used it to lay the foundations for a sustainable economy. Instead, we used it to grow as fast as we could, with no thought as to what comes next. Soon enough we'll be stuck with 10 billion mouths to feed, no fuel to power the tractors, no fertilizer to feed the crops, and no fuel to ship the crops to you.
What follows will be decades, if not centuries, of warfare decimating the Earth's population.
Why are you using SSL on your home LAN in the first place? If it's impossible for anyone to have access to your LAN, then you don't need encryption. If it's possible an attacker is on your LAN then self signed certs just give you a false sense of security.
One word: recycling. Most resources are recyclable, but simply end up in trash heaps because (for now) the energy and sorting costs of recycling makes it inefficient. That will change when easily mineable deposits shrink.
Energy isn't getting any cheaper.
Now, as for oil and non-renewables: we'll have to find something else, but that is true no matter how large the population grows or doesn't.
There is nothing else. Fossil fuels were a one time windfall for humanity. We squandered it and there's nothing we can do about it.
I'm aware of a number of games that have had their source code released. Doom, Quake 3, Freespace 2, Star Control II, Tyrian, I could go on. In each case the release of the source has made these games much easier to play, on any platform. In some cases the opening of the source has enabled the creation of entirely new games.
So I'd have to disagree with your assertion that the lack of code freedom is not a problem with games.
It's one of the few branches of science where a young amateur can actually do something interesting. They took all the good stuff out of chemistry sets due to liability issues. People doing electronics are conflated with hackers. Basement biochem is out of the reach of young people for cost reasons.
But one thing kids do have lots of is time. Sitting behind a computer poring over image after image is precisely the kind of task kids excel at these days.

You are a apologist for rapists.
Groping is the correct unbiased term for that behavior. Anyone who calls it anything less than groping has an agenda to push.

The same way you get Linux on any device. Put a bootable image on removable storage media, or boot it over the network.
Yes, ZFS is so RAID centric that it has it's own designation RAID-Z.
You're using ZFS and manually managing backups with rsync? That's ass backwards.
If you bought 3 1TB seagate, you'd be 3x as likely to suffer a failure. So that's really more like a 400,000 hour MTBF for 3TB worth of space.

Your "stupid conclusion" seems to hold up just fine for the legal beagles in just about every company I've ever worked for
Yes, lawyers often come to stupid conclusions. In fact, that seems to be what they are trained and paid for.
Even REALLY low standard courts like traffic court, I've seen them reject digital photo evidence. Getting a court like that to accept, say, a GPG key? Not a chance.

You cannot expect any sort of reform whatsoever to occur anytime soon because essentially all of our agencies have been captured by industry.

There are bad people in here too. And the more we let them out, the more the bad people out there will try to get back at them.
Are there any bullet hell shmups or vs fighters on onlive? If not, why not?

Neat idea. Should have called it Post Roulette.
