Sure, it's illegal, but most people simply don't consider it wrong. No amount of propaganda will change this.
I know a lot of people who have openly said they would actually rather pay to watch this show rather than download it for free, as long as they don't need to buy months or even years worth of other shit. The other consideration is it must be a reasonably low amount of effort required to legally stream etc to justify not just downloading it for free with minimal effort.
When they sell something to a single outlet that most people don't have access to, they shouldn't pretend to be surprised that people will find other ways of watching it.
Same - I was using Logo in 3rd grade, back in '96 or so. Loved that turtle.
Cant help but feel that in all likelihood what they learn there has a good chance of being utterly redundant or irrelevant by the time they are old enough to make use of it. Why not instead teach them the kind of programming orientated maths and logic?
If he married a Robot or an executive from Google. That may be a little different.
I dunno I found it somewhat interesting. Looking at some pictures of his new wife shows her to be rather plain looking and frequently struggling with her weight. I find myself constantly looking for reasons to hate the guy, but at least respect is due to someone who marries his pre-fame college sweetheart when he could likely take his pick from just about any of the top millionaire supermodels.
An "Enterprise-type" starship is a misnomer at best. An ion drive to get to even the closest star would have to be a "generation" ship. It would take generations of people, born, liviing, dying, to reach the nearest stars.
At a glance the proposed ship is meant only to tour around the solar system dropping of rovers and probes to the various planets and asteroids.
"I think the story here isn't that someone got knocked back from entering the UK, but rather the reasons behind it. "...
"Having said that, I do sort of agree that this isn't all that newsworthy for/. even though I generally do froth at the mouth at personal freedom abuses - which I do think that this falls into."
Yes but this happens all the time when its the other way around. I agree that its just a non-story of a fairly common practice; Only instead of being denied over misunderstood slang that's real meaning is pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain on comments made on social networking, it was instead a guy teaching how to maximise injury on someone as a form of self defence. I don't think either denial was entirely justified, but then its not my career to make these decisions.
It might not be an overwhelming requirement, but it's certainly an overwhelming survival advantage.
Perhaps with huge intelligence gains comes a massive advantage, but clearly small gains are not a survival advantage or animals would be constantly evolving more intelligence in an on-going arms race. It's very likely that the cost of increased intelligence offsets any potential gains.
Interestingly his wiki profile says something very different.

Morrowind rewarded you for levelling up; Oblivion punishes you.
Got to seriously agree with this. I levelled up a pure rogue, non combat approach and its great that you can do this in the game and I ignored the side quest and became amazing at stealing, sneaking and jaw droppingly rich. I decided to try the main quest line and started with the Kvatch part of it where supposedly a few little scamps run out of the portal and get cut down the guards. Because I was a very high level rogue, instead an unending stream of hideous, unstoppable monstrosities poured forth from the gates. The guards vanished in moments and the game was utterly winnable with no escape. I tried the warriors guild, first mission where some thugs are robbing a shop at night. Guy dint tell me the thugs wore full daedric plate with hugely enchanted weapons and armour.
Again its nice that you can play non combat focused characters but expect to be worthless when any form of combat is forced upon you without alternative methods.
Didn't some of the 9/11 folks hit a strip club before meeting their 72 virgins?
72 Virgins eh? Maybe they need to flesh that out a bit in further details. They might all look like this well known virgin : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Boyle
Are you assuming slashdot still brings in enough traffic to make money?
Instead of attempting to name and shame companies, perhaps instead we should try to find a mega-corp that actually does fairly and honestly pay its full tax bill. How about a bit of positive reporting?
Here we go again attacking religion. Such rebels on here. How about the environmental religion? What fairytale that is!
This is why religion is dangerous. The subset of extraneous beliefs that accompany it. Strangely people who are all loving the guy who talks about 'thou shalt not kill' and 'turn the other cheek' are also the strangest advocates for capital punishment and gun ownership, the strongest supporters of extreme and morally ambivalent capitalism and are more likely to try to prevent scientific advancement that could save countless lives.
I suppose you may disagree with the definition of belief, but I think that that is a good one and if you disagree it would be easiest if you simply clarified your definitions.
Yes strangely I, as an atheist find my self agreeing with a Christian (or other) over the words of another atheist. I feel the need to correct the previous poster.
Blind faith is the antithesis of analytical thinking.
Actually the article seemed rational and logical to me, and I'm a Christian.
Surely though, to me it seems a little more rational than the idea of a loving, all powerful patriarchal father figure who drowned all his children. A deity who unforgivably and eternally punishes his own creations for thought crimes; A God who frequently refers to himself in the first person plural, who felt the need to be nailed to a board so he could sacrifice himself to himself for an inherited original sin from a story mostly regarded as metaphorical.
There is nothing wrong with critical thinking. You just need to study to see what something really says before jumping to conclusions.
You actually come across as quite a rational Christian sort, but sadly in the minority of my own experiences with them. I do have a question for you about one (of many) parts of the bible. Sidestepping the issue for a second of the patriarchal deity who drowned his children. can you shed some light on this bit below please?
"But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me.’” Jesus Christ. Luke 19:27
Perhaps you can help me with critically considering the idea of preaching forgiveness and thou shalt not kill but practising another. Or is this just an example of a remarkably flexible rule set?
Anyone know whether this would belong to Scotland or England should the UK break up?
It's a good question because despite most of the gas reserves are in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland, I've heard that England is currently laying claim to all territory off Scotland beyond 20 miles from the coast; Though as I cannot find a good citation, I cannot fully guarantee truth of this. Can anyone back this up or prove it false?
Considering the majority of the gas reserves are in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland it seems unlikely that London (seemingly the only city in the UK that most have heard of) will suffer any form of earth quakes, though they may well lose out if Scotland is granted their independence in 2014 when the vote comes.
All indirect evidence. Personally the idea of an invisible, intangible, ethereal magical material that helps peoples sums add up is dubious at best. There are plenty of other good theories out there that do not include this populistic hypothesis.

Why not? Something similar already happened in the UK with Youtube regarding music performer royalties and other demands for lots of cash. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7933565.stm
Does it work for politicians too? Most of them need to get a grip, and need a brain implant or transplant.
Considering it likely the doctors had to first paralyse a large quantity of monkeys, it would be nice if the experiment could be recreated using politicians.
The Klan? Christians? Burning crosses? I think not. Wrong side, they work directly for Satan. I don't care what they claim their actions speak for them.

Rather, US is prepared to actually start world war 3 over a missile defence system.

It would probably also help if you could get Linux users to stop fighting amongst themselves over every little goddamn thing.
I'd agree with this idea, maybe Linux needs the software equivalent of the Council of Nicea...

After all, the Thames estuary can't be hurt by a few anthropogenic earthquakes, now? Can it?
