"Kind of difficult to follow that advice when the lawbreaking in question consists solely of not keeping your mouth shut."
Kind of EASY to follow when you are both computer-literate and trained in security. If idiot boy had been leaking data out of principle instead of being an attention whore, he'd have stayed anonymous and ensured an ongoing flow of data rather than wanting recognition from the Leet.
"It also is a sign of things to come: more countries will sue citizens of other countries for what they did on the Internet. There is a real risk that this will impede business all over the world."
Good. We need more reasons for conflict instead of slouching toward world government where we lose without firing a shot.
Take all legalism to its logical extreme and people may hate legalism. From the RIAA to the fatwa, this shit is going too far.
"As a fellow agnostic, what I want is just for people to give me enough space to figure this stuff out, without threatening to kill me if I don't buy into their religion."
The difficulty with that is no ones god gives a shit what you think.
The desert superstitions don't have "moderate" sides, they have some true believers and a greater proportion of slackers/camp followers/social clubbers who keep their systems going.
I am delighted that superstitionists I despise are doing exactly what I want them to do, which is to educate the fools who don't want to "confuse" religion with its actual effects. Better these homicidal raghead nutjobs do a Daniel Pearl on a few more victims so the rest of the civilized world will wake the fuck up. They've already cowed all other Muslims (excepting some of those who live on US military-industrial complex sugar tit) and so far have scared nearly everyone else into PC grovelling.
I'd like to see much more Islamic terrorism, because that's less pernicious than the vastly more toxic social expansion of its parent religion. If a country turned Stalinist without violence, it would still be Stalinist. Ditto where superstition is concerned..
"I was afraid for the lives of my family. It is a terrifying situation I would wish on no one, and I'll pray for strength. All humankynd are of value, but he kept coming and wouldn't stop." Repeat often enough to believe it and never say different. The thug worshippers won't get as much traction against you that way.
"She insisted that it's illegal to shoot someone who is attempting to rape you."
That's why many people despise pseudo-feminists. Strong women assert themselves as adults, and have self-esteem so they value their lives.
Anyone female who thinks she OWES A RAPIST SUBMISSION rather than a bullet isn't a "feminist". The term for that epic level of fucktardedness is "stupid cunt".
Yes, it is. "All criminals are victims of society, except people who use force to defend themselves. Self-defense is vile because we should all yield to our enemies and cure their sins by the moral example of our suffering at their hands. There is no good and bad, we all Gawd's chillun', and the nanny state will take care of us." These "anti-Second Amendment/anti-self-defense" folks are the people who really DESERVE to be crime victims, because they betray all good citizens by denying the right of lethal self-defense.
Being a vet, I was curious enough to Google his decs;
"Air Force Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and Korean Defense Service Medal."
AFGCM (it's no longer in use) was what you got for "not getting busted". The origin of Good Conduct medals was long ago when Good Conduct was considered noteworthy rather than expected. Doesn't mean shit and was an automatic award.
NDSM, GWOTSM,and KDSM are purely for serving at a given time and/or place.
These are about the minimum you could be awarded. No awards or decs for anything else = "he displayed pulse and respiration". In some units, all you need to do is enough to get by, not piss off management too much, and in some Guard or Reserve units, be one of the homeboys (of any color).
The election of Greene is quite plausible. All it would take is word of mouth among kinfolk, in churches, and other offline channels.
Voting is along racial lines (reasonable given history!) and actual qualification has never been relevant to either side. It's about race and affirmation.
I live in SC and find this hilarious. Folks might as well vote for their homeboy. He can hardly do worse that what they have.

"Robots are fuckin' boring."
Robots are useful on earth and necessary in the utterly hostile environment of space, where humans "explore" nothing robots can't explore (at leisure, for longer, and vastly less money).
Robots aren't boring to the right kind of person, and science doesn't need the other sort. Let them go watch football or wrasslin'.

"This is not something that Muslims have a monopoly on"
Time for a software analogy:
Windows may not have a monopoly any longer, but it DOES have leading market share. :)

What a load of shit.
Consequences matter more than theoretical doctrine. Effects matter more than dreams. What people DO matters more than what they say.
I judge ideology by its results. I judge believers by the outcomes of the SYSTEMS their belief SUPPORTS, because their support maintains the system.
The individual matters fuck all if the system they support is toxic.

Prisons are too expensive because they fail to treat the prisoner as an enemy to be broken and are mere warehouses.
"If you are wondering why the prisons in California are so full,"
Because California wants (in contrast to Arizona) to get as many illegals as possible into their state.

"Convicted violent felons violating the terms of their parole don't represent a sufficiently big enough problem to investigate?"
Not in California.
Their society reflects the choices citizens and government make.
Religion...
"For example I only talk to people when their porn viewing habits get so strange that it started to expose the company to all sorts of lawsuits."
This thread is worthless without pics!
"They seem to ruin everything they touch."
They should stick to touching themselves.
Fuck 'em. I wouldn't "predict" a damn thing, but would seek ways to enrich myself from predicted outcomes.
If people will fuck you for trying to do good, abandon that and fuck THEM instead.
"It's easy to feel good about Apple's policies, when they work out in your favor. :)"
When one is a fanboi/fangrrl/fan-nullo ALL their policies can be creatively construed as tasty.
I, for one, welcome my Applelicious overlords and hope their stay atop my queening stool will meet with their favor. :)
A fine idea. it could be referred to as an "opt in" list of people who want their "services".
Honesty is punishable, therefore creative dishonesty is a reasonable response.

Absolutely! I live in SC and can vouch for this. It isn't news down here to either party.
We need to see his actual military record including reason for separation, and depending on where the degree came from it may not mean squat.
Educational standards in SC (I've lived here since 1985} are abysmal.
Greene being inarticulate is not at all odd. There are many people here (all races) who function OK but never learned to speak well.
The election of Greene is quite plausible.
