Wall Street employs the most devious hackers: those who can make the Dow drop 1,000 points in a day. So I think you're right that it should apply to those in Wall Street as well.
If anyone else can think of other industries indemnfied by the Federal Government, don't be shy about responding.
I'm willing to bet that nothing anyone brings up will be remotely similar to indemnifying private companies for poor computer security.
Banks, and their mortgage/"financial instrument" fraud bailed out because they were too big to fail, as if?
It's been proven for a long time that when groups attack people and our rights, the law must attack the group - not just members of the group. It's necessary.
One frag, one grope. two frags, two gropes. server blacklists (at last yay !) and many, many mooooreee !!!
"You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harm-o-ny, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singing a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking in singing a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may think it's a movement."
it sounds better when you put something into musical form doesnt it.
Who exactly should be able to say who is responsible and who isn't? Why should I, or anyone, trust that person so much?
Agreed, I mean, with over 200 "root" certificates there's no way to trust anyone in there. What we need is something like a web of trust. Wait, which thread was this again?
You're welcome. I agree that a surveillance society is something we should welcome; I mean, the religious have been saying we're already living in one for centuries.;)
The desire to pay fair wages is something that should be encouraged, not something that should cause one to be treated with suspicion over.
Actually, any propaganda from a corporation should be treated with suspicion.
And I do not mean this in a "purely negative tone", I mean it in the helpful sense that you should always question authority, and authorities who teach not to question should be severely inspected.
Apart from the requisite citation, I wanted to add: "citizen raid!" Same thing as citizen arrest, just now with federal agencies being impersonated! If you can't convince the feds to bust Martin, picket.
Er, you mean, "wouldn't you just re-learn the fucking changed keyboard shortcuts yet again?" And then, "wouldn't you prefer software that did not change merely to increase training revenue?"
[...] now you can do it quicker because the brain can recognise pictures faster than it can recognise words.
What, you work for Microsoft? Do you understand the difference in difficulty of learning to read English, versus learning to read Chinese? Sure, the brain might recognize the pictures faster, but that brain must necessarily have gone through extensive training in order to winnow out the meaning of each of those pictures...
a conversation between two people can also be private.
Seriously? Really, only in the sense that "two men can keep a secret if one of them is dead" style of privacy... And as far as behavior goes, just look to the religious who know that their God is recording every one of their words and deeds, and still manage to act like scum. Would they change knowing that a human was also recording?
I'm sorry, "BART" is "Bay Area", not "Boston". (Boston just lets the terrorists get on the planes, then fly them into buildings; that, and force you to pay health care at twice the national rate.)
Not necessarily; I remember a decade ago or so a building code was attempted to be copyrighted by the firm that drafted the law. Yes, a legal firm attempted to be a for-pay Xerox machine, for something for which ignorance of it means you could end up with a big fine. From what I recall, it didn't fly, but made a lot of noise.
I think there's a part missing in your sequence, because email clients do not auto-correct a message by themselves. Either the manager re-typed instead of pasted; or, the manager accepted corrections on a portion of text that should not have had corrections accepted on it. The computer did not make the mistake -- although it can be said that it contributed to it, in part.
I've seen that anus and I can assure you that there is definitely something wrong with it. Maybe not morally... but there is something extremely wrong happening there.

I'm sure that legality won't last long...after all...this would be GREAT information for tracking terrorists!!!
Exactly. When "terrorists" == "people against the current regime."
Nor do we enforce traffic laws without any sense of consistency, so nobody even tries to follow the rules anyway.
Or logic rules, apparently.

Huh. That sounds more like "make war"...

I'm saying the idea that every species is precious and any species going extinct is a disaster is clearly, demonstrably false.
Yes, I would even go so far as to call that idea specious.
I don't understand. Why can't a simulation be as good as (nay, better than) a lab?
Nice to rant with you.
In point of fact, as long as nobody can prove that they have had a large radiation dose - tough with "nothing in pockets, etc"
Okay, I tape the dosimeter to my chest. (Perhaps even wear a wizard hat and robe, to confuse them.)
Yeah, reminds me of that scene from Rango where the bats grouped together and emulated a hawk to scare Rattlesnake Jake. Briefly. :)

It's not an argument, it's a definition. You don't argue with facts.
What do you call a lady from Japan with one leg?
From $2500k/quarter to $2600/month.
Unless it's a typo, it sounds like you reduced your expenses by over an order of magnitude; about 31 times, to be exact.
