You should exert absolutely no effort to be diverse, and you should exert absolutely no effort to not be diverse. What matters is the merit of the speakers, not their diversity.
What you mean "we"? Free will is wishful thinking. There is only the laws of physics. The laws of physics are either deterministic or probabilistic(statistically deterministic). There's no room for anything to be "free", it would violate f=ma.
Palestinians in Israel have the right to vote already.
But not the ones in occupied Gaza.
The reality aside, Israel has attempted to break the cycle of violence. Note that they limited or completely stopped all attacks against Hamas several times.
But they haven't stopped building on Palestinian land.
who sends rockets into soverign territory with the SOLE intention of harming ANYONE inside, civilian or otherwise?
People with no hope to better their lot in life other than destroying their oppressors, that's who. If you want to end the violence, you have to offer them a path to peace and propserity.
But I'd keep Israel. They do useful stuff, such as new Intel microarchitectures, and ICQ, and PHP...OK, scratch the last two. But at least they export tangibly beneficial stuff and not armies of loonies.
Israel's influence on US foreign policy has been unequivocally harmful. I'd be happy getting rid of Israel just so we could get back to putting our own countries interests first.
So, who's going to break the cycle of violence? If you meet violence with violence, you get more violence. Someone will have to meet violence with kindness, and you don't seem to think the Palestinians can do it. So shouldn't you be encouraging Israel to do so?
The only other alternative is the complete elimination of the Palestinian people. But by operaghost's logic, that would justify Palestinian aggression against Israel.
The real solution is to acknowledge that neither Jewish nor Muslim states have any right to exist. The only just government is secular and democratic. Create a secular and democratic state where both israelis and palestinians have equal rights to vote. Then they can fight their wars in parliament, and terrorism will be a law enforcement issue.
That analogy is so bad, it's dishonest. Your car is not a publically accessible communication system. AT&T's website is. Do you really think they're comparable? Seriously, shame on you.
Weev is a troll. He's better known to/. as one of the "president" of the GNAA. An all around unpleasant fellow.
The unfortunate thing about this case is that Weev didn't actually do anything wrong here. AT&T published the email addresses, it should be AT&T facing prison time.
We have gone to hell, haven't you been paying attention? We blew a trillion dollars on wars no one needed. We jail more of our citizens than any other country in the world. Social mobility is lower than it's been since WWII, and among the lowest of developed nations. Nearly every regulatory agency has been captured by industry. Our education system, our health care system, are the most expensive in the developed world and provide pitiful outcomes for that expense.
Just because you lead a blessed life, and choose not to pay attention to the world around you, doesn't mean the country is doing well.
The fact that a candidate may be doing well in a speculative futures market is no guarantee that he won't drag the country to hell when he wins. America has been heading towards disaster for 30 years under 5 different victorious presidents, and not one of them has done anything to stem the tide of corruption. No matter who won, the country was going to continue its descent into authoritarian plutocracy, and yes I'd bet on that.
It's censorship, no matter who is doing the censoring. It's only unconstitutional when it's the government. Censorship is simply the name of the act, and it's the same act either way. It's even censorship when you're doing it yourself.
Why are these companies censoring their sites? Because they don't want to offend their customers. But I find censorship offensive, and I might want to be their customer. If they care about avoiding offense to their customers, shouldn't I at least let them know?
Yes, they're well within their rights to censor anything they want on their websites. That doesn't mean it makes sense for them to do so, and it doesn't mean we can't complain about it.
Why would the framework (the thing that contains all the rules) be something less than that which it produced?
Because properties emerge from complex systems. Just because it occurs at one level doesn't mean the building blocks that level is made of can do it too. A transistor can't add, groups of transistors can.
It's not a circle, it's a spiral. A downward spiral. Todays consoles are as complex as desktop PCs, with all the downsides that brings. But they're not open like desktop PCs, so they don't get any of the benefits that brings.
Larry got his funding, why not contribute to another classic Sierra team trying to put out a new game? Lori and Corey Cole, the couple behind Quest for Glory, have a kickstarter ending in THREE DAYS. They have $311K out of $400. That's nearly 80% of the way there. This can happen if you pitch in.

But that's about it. It doesn't excuse violent attacks.
Then why do we punish theft with kidnapping?

Israel would reject that because they would believe that it would screw with their demographics.
Which is a fundamentally anti-democratic position, and not worthy of any respect whatsoever.
It is the primary thing that prevents a one state solution.
Exactly, Israel's anti-democratic position is the primary thing that prevents a one-state solution.

I mean, most universities wouldn't just let any yahoo walk in off the street and have full access to their biolabs.
Yeah, pretty much we will. You're an undergrad and you want to help? Here's a key.
As an analogy, I often leave my car unlocked.

You forget the importance of efficiency. Performance per cycle is irrelevant, performance per watt is what matters.
Many years ago, I dual-booted Windows so I could play games there, but once I got my first console (a PS1), that became more effort than it was worth.
The problem with that is that many kinds of games suck on consoles. FPS, RTS, flight sims, all better on PCs.
About an year ago (which is when I tested last), it didn't do any of these things perfectly
Did you file a bug report with your distribution?
It's not weird, it's EA. Alpha Centauri was published by EA. Probably the biggest mistake Sid Meier ever made.

However, since in many cases that offense tends to be taken to extremes such as lawsuits
Awesome. How can I sue companies for offending me by implementing censorship?
Why are these companies censoring their sites? Because they don't want to offend their customers. But I find censorship offensive, and I might want to be their customer. If they care about avoiding offense to their customers, shouldn't I at least let them know?

At least when I get and Xbox/Wii/PS game I know it isn't going to install some boot loader or root kit or rogue driver on my system and screw it up
Are you kidding? Modern games come with software updates on the disk, software updates that can and do remove features from your console.
It's not a circle, it's a spiral. A downward spiral. Todays consoles are as complex as desktop PCs, with all the downsides that brings. But they're not open like desktop PCs, so they don't get any of the benefits that brings.
It's better for Wikipedia to remain tool agnostic and support any editor the users wish to use.
