A judge wasn't expected to make that determination, an employee was. If a doctor overheard a patient planning to resell a psychoactive prescription, do you think he needs documentation to refuse the prescription? If a gun shop employee overhears a customer planning to commit a crime, does he need documentation to refuse the sale? Would a judge find either the doctor or the gun shop owner guilty of a crime? I think not.
It's my job to make sure that this Third Reich piece of shit cannot post a single comment, and I don't care if it's about compiling a Linux driver, without being clearly identified for what he is. As long as he's on Slashdot, I'm going to make sure he wears a nice big red swastika on his forehead.
Well then, I'll certainly make sure I keep you very, very busy!

It's not enough to "hear" it. They need proof. Documentation. Passports. Air tickets as evidence. You think that kind of "proof" would hold up in a court of law?
Respect for obeying the law, which is apparently a novelty these days. Also, it wasn't merely for speaking a foreign language, the clerk overheard her saying it was for an uncle who was an Iranian resident.
That's because most smart Americans aren't going into science and technology anymore. Why would they when they know their jobs are either going to be off-shored or taken by an H1B? If I was starting my career today, I'd be studying to be a banker or a lawyer. Which seems to be what all the smart kids are doing today, anyway.
And what problems do we still have today that we were having in 1912? What knowledge did those people have that would have allowed them to solve or prevent the problems we're having in 2012? A pollution control program in 1912 would have amounted to cleaning horse shit out of the streets.
Yes, I do plan on letting future generations solve their own problems, because neither you nor I nor anyone else is competent to know what sort of a world those people will be living in, and what kind of problems they'll be experiencing.
Clue: there's no such thing as a 100 year old problem. Issues which were pressing matters 100 years ago are irrelevant to us now, and issues which are relevant to us now will be of no consequence to people 100 years from now. Think about it.
I consider this strong evidence in support of my contention that a scientist is a political activist that wants to take credit for advances actually developed by engineers, entrepreneurs, and lay inventors.
"I lived in a neighborhood that became a ghetto. I know of which I speak. Besides, sorry, I'm not going to put myself in harm's way just so I can contribute to a community that doesn't give a shit about me."
There appear to be many Slashdotters who think you are obliged to do that. Wether THEY would do as they would have you do at your expense is questionable.
Indeed. Apparently there's a large number of Slashdotters suffering from "Passover Syndrome"
That may be true, but I don't see many white guys standing out on the corner peddling crack in the hood, either. "Certain demographics" certainly have a way of being particularly indiscreet about their law-breaking. Not real smart if you're trying to stay out of jail.
Sure enough! I make it my business to avoid high crime areas populated mainly by Swedes and Chinese just as much as the ones populated Blacks and Hispanics! No discrimination on my part!

If they were aware you were planning to export, then yes, legally they did.
Indeed. My respect for Apple just went up.
They probably needed the money for really important things, like Women's and gender studies, sociology and African American and Hispanic Studies.
Of course intelligence has a biological basis, it's just never been shown that genetics has a stronger effect than environment.
Wrong.
Since he had no scientific basis for that "correlation" whatsoever and was instead basing it on his personal interactions with black employees...
I beg to differ.
Maybe they have good reasons to distrust it...

You mean, something like this....
Whenever I hear "abundance of cheap labor available" given as an advantage, I know the situation is not going to end well. Ever.
As somebody else said...
If only voting was restricted to the top 1% of intellectuals. This will scare the shit out of dumb people, but that's their problem.
If only the top 1% of intellectuals had been allowed to vote in 1930, Soviet America would be digging itself out of the same wreckage that Russia is.
And where the manufacturing goes, so eventually does the R&D.

When I first saw the headline, I thought they were referring to the band.
Indeed. Ever look at the predictions from 1912 about how life would be in a hundred years? I expect ours will be about as accurate.
I consider this strong evidence in support of my contention that a scientist is a political activist that wants to take credit for advances actually developed by engineers, entrepreneurs, and lay inventors.
What about the ones that live in areas that are going to be covered in water?
Well, given that in the US, that would be the coasts, which is where most of those annoying warmists live.
I fail to see a down side here...
Fuck you and your ignorance.
Ignorance? Au contraire! Your complaint is that he's taking the trouble to inform himself.
