Why are there literally 5 or 6 different frameworks in Linux, each with their own container classes, marshaling, runloop, event handling, and string libraries again?
Because 5 or 6 different groups of people thought it would be fun to write their own desktop frameworks.
And extending the same idea, everyone benefits from the existence of the Internet, therefore people who don't have access to it should also pay a share of your ISP bill, right?
No, but everyone should pay to get internet (and road) access to everyone. If we can count on everyone having internet access we can scrap older less efficient ways to do things. This benefits everyone.
For example, e-mail regarding personnel issues, health records, or ongoing litigation may be subject to redaction or withholding.
Don't care. On Day 11, release everything to the public. If anyone is harmed by the release of private data, they can sue the public official who failed to meet her legal obligations. It's not like she didn't know she was going to have to release these documents, she had all the time in the world, starting from day one of her term to redact them.
So let's say you get a degree in biology. Any lab job or anything else will pay much better right off the bat than a teaching position in grade or high school.
It doesn't actually, but the hours are better and the rats are better behaved.
If you claim that you are unable to walk because of an accident, then the company you sue can rightfully demand that you turn over private videos that show you playing beach volleyball in the nude after the accident because it is relevant to the case.
That is, if they know you have a video of yourself playing beach volleyball. Suing someone doesn't give them carte blanche to rifle through your collection of home movies, nor should it give them carte blanch to read your personal conversations.
We have lost. The public hasn't just accepted HDMI and Blu-Ray. They've accepted torture, warrantless searches, suspension of habeas corpus, etc., etc.
Would you accept a locked-down device that offers a cheaper product
Sure, it's called a rental. Rent me your console, and you can issue any terms you want. If it's cheap enough, I'll accept. If you sell me your console, it is mine to do with what I please.
Cheat free online multiplayer would be nice, yes. But it's not worth sacrificing fundamental property rights. If you really want cheat free multiplayer, play with people you trust.
Software is manifested physically as magnetic domains on a disk. It is my prerogative to physically manipulate my property in any way that I wish. That includes electromagnetism.
Who needs votes? If we put every suit on Wall Street up against the wall and blew their fucking brains out, that would be a lesser injustice than letting them get away with this.
Indeed. Consider this. The economic losses to banks alone from the Financial crisis are estimated at 4 trillion. Total property crime in 2009 adds up to 15 billion
That's less than half a percent! When you look at it this way, it's not disproportionate to suggest that the entire law enforcement budget of the United States be spent on bringing these criminals to justice. Yet, in most cases the people responsible for crashing the entire economy get million dollar bonuses for it.
Honestly, the only way I can interpret this is that it's intentional. Our system is not intended to provide justice at all. It exists only to protect the wealthy. We have no justice system in the US, we have an exploitation system.
Wikileaks doesn't exactly do it right either. The right thing to do is to upload your data to RapidShare, et al. Then post it to USENET. Then dump it on Freenet.

The problem is, if you want to use italics you have to make sure everyone has that stylesheet. /. won't be usable until they fix this bug on their end.

How much of that do you think Facebook will actually collect? They'll be lucky to get $360 out of the guy, let alone $360 million.

Which is quite fashionable, it tells the browser to to discard all default styles, so that the designer can build them from the ground up.
Now that's just fucked up.

If you don't like the worms, I'll trade you a crunchy frog.
And launching pot is non-evil. Thanks smugglers!

Where are my fucking italics, Slashdot?
In summary, we have some really crappy laws, and those charged with upholding them don't seem to be much better.
He who enforces an unjust law is no better than he who breaks a just one.
To hide back doors in source code?
Yes, the President of your country and CEO of your company are both leaders of gangs. How astute of you to notice.

Greed is malice.
So artists who can't convince their fans to support them do something else, that sounds like a win to me.
He's trying to do the right thing in Washington. You'd have to be a nutball to do that.
