The fact that you want to defend him like he was innocent just makes you look fucking stupid.
Aaaand, the fact that you "know" he's guilty without him having gone through a court trial to prove his guilt or lack thereof, says basically the same thing about you.
That's because if Al Qaida announced, today, that "Hey everyone, we're giving up trying to attack the US", they'd just find some other group of people to call the Evil Terrorists, and all the oppressive tactics can continue unabated.
No need to find, just bomb. Donald Rumsfeld was right when he queried, "I wonder if we are capturing or killing insurgents, faster than we are creating them?"
Thanks! Also found that the game was "Dragon Stomper", but I didn't see the Asteroids clone in wikipedia; perhaps I should dig through the attic at some point, and add it.
He didn't formally renounce his citzenship. His attacks on the US could be interpreted as a renunciation of citizenship, but as far as I know there's no court case deciding that.
We brought Timothy McVeigh, the bomber of the Oklahoma City FBI building, to trial. We did not decide that "his attacks on the US are a renunciation of citizenship". He is not logically different; therefore, the only difference is political (== fake).
And, damn did those Activision games have more pixels! That was a good precedent. (I also had the... Iforgetthename, it was a cartridge twice as large and loaded games from cassette tapes, which were even cooler than the Activision games; there was an Asteroids clone, and a Dragon Stalker or something like that which I recall spending many hours on.)
Funny how if you see a logical fallacy when you skim something you tend to ignore the rest....
Not so funny to me; evidence of lacking logic in one area could imply lacking logic in all areas, and therefore the rest of the communication should be suspect -- if not discarded outright.
Thanks for sharing this as well. Looks like a long exposure, and the people stayed fairly still! The target is a good touch, it is crisp. Please post more if you have them.
To reflect your perception, I only just heard about it today. It's in its 11th day. I'm an American; I heard it on NPR on the way home (not on the way in), and then saw it here. I think the answer to the media gap is likely somewhere in between: it doesn't sell as many papers as Britney's tits, and also it challenges the media owners. (I'm also thinking of the 98% decline in the US dollar in the past 100 years, 70% of which happened after Nixon took us off the gold standard, and that so few people are aware of that; it's just not good form to be informed these days, I suppose.)
The 'talking about digital lock circumvention' part is a mixed bag - if they can make a case that you've done so in an actual contributory manner, then they have a case.
I propose: use science. There, I just crossed the line; they can come get me.
I'll consider all this a breakthrough when I can go down to Walgreens and get an AIDS vaccine.
Okay, so, respectfully: perhaps you should be trolling the Walgreens forums? People on this site are interested in scientific developments, of which this is one.
Hi Tom/Barbara, thanks for the Heinlein reference. I wonder if The Hooters song was a reference to this work? (I reviewed the lyrics and it doesn't seem to be, but there's always obscurity in references as well.) I've seen a similar limerick (written on the wall of a sauna in a ski rental house):
There once was a man from Wight,
Who could travel much faster than light,
He set off one day
In a relative way
And returned home the previous night.

That is interesting. In 100 years surely some older versions of GPLed software will be in the public domain?
Not based on past legislative evidence.

Planning isn't doing. I think about suicide a lot.

Sure it was. ...and, because.

Depending on your preference, create a Linux or Windows machine on AWS in a US presence, and then do your work from there.
I can't imagine why anyone would think less of themselves.
I can: religion. I agree with everything else you said.
[...] their racial recognition program [...]
I think this is the feature that the TSA is sorely lacking, actually...
New tech: jackets that change colors. (Yes, I really typed that in 15 seconds, Slashdot. Filter is abusive.)
"They" say a lot, don't "they"?
As to proving that it is not natural, that is a different argument that needs to be made by demonstrating the causes not reciting the symptoms.
I think we should first prove that humans are not natural. Before we start saying that climate change is not natural, regardless of the cause.

Mostly we just RTFC.

Can you provide a reproducible test case?
It's like the opposite of an Ouroboros.
Thank you for reminding me of the South Park episode where they eat with their butts, and shit from their mouths.

Its not that complicated when you go large.. like the sun for instance.
Isn't the sun operating at a net energy loss, though?
