Manga is basically Japanese comic books. You wrote:
According to a strict interpretation of the law, in the US, possession of a manga cartoon is worse than several violent crimes.
which is equivalent to saying:
According to a strict interpretation of the law, in the US, possession of a Japanese comic books is worse than several violent crimes.
which is completely false. Only the possession of manga that explicitly depict sexual activity involving children could be considered illegal. Just like how movies aren't illegal, only movies that explicitly depict sexual activity involving children are illegal.
This is the exact same point Dahamma tried to bring up. His post was pretty clear, at least to me. Maybe you should read it again.
Yes, I know about the industry types. The vast majority of commonly used credit cards are issued by the banking industry, with the first digit being either 4 or 5, so I didn't bother mentioning the other less common starting digits. More specifically, the vast majority of commonly used credit cards are either Visa (starting with a 4) or MasterCard (starting with a 5).
As an individual, you can also donate to a PAC or form one, if you wish.
As an individual, I am allowed to donate $5000 per election to a PAC. A single cent more and the feds haul me off to jail. You might notice $5000 is quite a bit lower than the contribution limit for corporations. The corporations and I each have our First Amendment rights, but I can't shake the feeling that their rights are a lot stronger than mine...
...or form one, if you wish.
Of course if I form my own corporation and super PAC I can get as set of extra rights as all the other corporations. But what about everyone in the country who don't currently control a corporation?
Or you can spend your own money to advertise whatever views you want, just like a PAC does.
Still subject to the same contribution limits. The FEC isn't stupid you know.
"I can't donate more than $2500 so I should just buy a million dollar TV spot for my favorite candidate." is basically the equivalent of "I don't have to pay income tax anymore if my employer pays me in houses." In the latter case, IRS considers the house barter income and value it at the market value. If you failed to declare that income, you go to jail. In the former case, the FEC considers the commercial a donation and value it at the market value. If it's more than $2500, you go to jail.
There's nothing more cowardly than the act of killing innocent civilians. Whether you choose to kill yourself or not during the act makes no difference whatsoever.
A certain (well hated) cryptographic currency is performing 11.378 trillion SHA-256 hashes per second as we speak. The majority of websites out there are using far less secure algorithms than SHA-256.
Haven't had my first coffee yet, so my sarcasm detector isn't working. In case you're serious:
Visa always start with 4; MasterCard always start with 5.
If the attacker knows who you bank with, then they have issuer number (4-6 digits).
You lose one digit due to the checksum.
For example, suppose the attacker knows you have a Visa from Chase, then they only have guess 7 digits. That's weaker than a 3 character alphanumeric password.
Kinda ironic that you are bring up Canadian election regulations when their Tory government is close to crumbling over illegal robocalls made in the last election.
A corporation, not being human, has no claim to human rights.
But the people who make up the corporation do, especially when those people have formed the corporation for the explicit purpose of exercising the right to free speech. As did Citizen's United.
The people who make up the corporation have their rights, and they are welcome to exercise those rights to the fullest. However, they don't deserve extra rights just because they have more money.
As an individual, I am allowed to donate $2500 to my favorite candidate. A single cent more and the feds haul me off to jail.
But if I form a corporation, I can donate all the money I want to a super PAC. By forming a corporation, I suddenly have more free speech rights than anyone in the country who don't currently control a corporation.
Sure, there are laws prohibiting super PACs from coordinating with campaigns, but the candidate can just have his lawyer form the super PAC and the communication between them will be protected by the attorney–client privilege. (for the interest of partisanship I won't name that candidate)
That's because someone walked into a record store and pulled up the rental history of a sitting Supreme Court Justice.
In case anyone else haven't heard the story before:
During debate over his nomination, Bork's video rental history was leaked to the press. His video rental history was unremarkable, and included such harmless titles as A Day at the Races, Ruthless People, and The Man Who Knew Too Much. Writer Michael Dolan, who obtained a copy of the hand-written list of rentals, wrote about it for the Washington City Paper.[22] Dolan justified accessing the list on the ground that Bork himself had stated that Americans only had such privacy rights as afforded them by direct legislation. The incident led to the enactment of the 1988 Video Privacy Protection Act.
I was about to google map "police station" to get the directions, but then I remember doing that search would make me a cop-killing police-station-bombing terrorist.
So now I'm caught in a catch-22: if I don't look up its location I'm a fugitive on the run. If I look up its location I would be plotting a terrorist attack.
At a summit of political and military leaders from around the world, unanimous approval is given to a plan code-named "Operation Dark Storm", which aims to cut the machines off from the sun, their primary energy source. The plan is executed in 2095, with high altitude bombers dispersing sky-darkening nanomachines into the air, while the human armies simultaneously launch a ground offensive against the machine forces.
No, it was indeed in Gattaca. This quote is the from the script:
Now you appreciate I can only work with the raw material I have at my disposal but for a little extra...I could also attempt to insert sequences associated with enhanced mathematical or musical ability.
It was only a single sentence so you probably just missed it.

That would break every website that uses CDN or have multiple domains. That's probably half of the web right there. Not even wikipedia will load under those draconian rules.
I don't really blame God for that one. Even for production servers I cheap out and get the non-ECC ram. The Almighty One gave us crappy memory probably because he wanted to save a few bucks.

There's no contribution limit for corporations contributing to super PACs. For me, it's $5000 per election. How do you explain that?
The first digit identified the type of industry as is shown if you go here ->>>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_card_number
If you could just read your own damn link:
MasterCard 51-55
Visa 4
It's right there in the table.

That's why I said "You lose one digit due to the checksum." The number pool gets smaller by a factor of 10, hence "losing one digit".
I'm pretty sure no bittorrent client asks for the user's real name, and yet RIAA/MPAA still managed to track people down somehow...

That's quite a lot of text you just sent. Are you sure you can afford the bandwidth tax on that?

All that is useless when the server gets compromised and the username/hashed password list gets sold to the highest bidder.

Definition of SENSELESS:

c : meaningless: a senseless murder
He probably meant it as "meaningless" I'm guessing. As in, it's meaningless to resort to violence when it only makes the problem worst.
