    Cooking the baby robs you of essential nutrients. Try the raw unadulterated version by just tenderizing it with a hard back version of The Origin of Species and serve with a wedge of lemon.

    No, they get sent to labor camps ( *cough* re-education camps ), which they have been thinking about shutting down. China is rapidly modernizing its justice system, so while they are attempting to practice a bit more parsimony when it comes to crimes the US in all but a few states has seen its prison population double or triple in the past few decades.

    Why detain them all the way down there, when you can prosecute them in the states and still get a 99% conviction rate for anything even remotely linked to terrorism and get obscene amounts of jail time.

    One day, maybe soon, the US or some other country that likes to project its policies with force will kill someone in a data center during one of these raids or will bomb a data center in a foreign country.

    I'm more afraid of the FSB selling or having the code stolen from them by Russian hackers than the FSB actually doing anything. They are mostly incompetent hacks either leftover from the 90's or put there to be yes-men to Putin policy. Putin would not stack the deck against himself so he has cut out most of the intelligence in the intelligence agencies, that is why you get things like the recent spy swap debacle where they could not even penetrate a PTA meeting let alone the Pentagon.

    No, I disagree. As someone who has lived in the Northwest for 10 years I can assure you that anyone who that serious about being vegan who wasn't brought up that way typifies the zealot mindset more often than not. When I go out on dates the first thing I ask is if they are a vegan and if they are I run away even though I'm ostensibly a vegetarian 95% of the time. Why, you ask? Well the last vegan I moved in with would throw away my cheese and replace it with tofu cheese, leave my meat outside the house to go bad and throw away my shampoo because it was tested or made with animals. Never the fuck again.

We have moved on mostly to Star Trek Online, it does not have the massive part down quite yet as the die hards can blow through the game in a few weeks but for anyone with a job it has the community, maturity and game play that makes it a highly enjoyable experience for my long term gaming group of 6 people.

    As someone who has worked in the industry doing optical gyros I call bullocks, you don't design cluster munitions, plastic land mines and IEDS in this day and age without the moral compass of an unrepentant sociopath. What, you don't like being compared to the Taliban, too bad, they have a defense industry too and the IED is kicking your silver-spoon fed asses.

    There are wide swathes of the defense industry that ostensibly do not deal directly with moral questions such as logistics, medical and infrastructure in a box apps but if you do not appreciate the historical or potential abuses of a weapon system you are designing than you are a fucking idiot or a fucking monster, take your pick.

    This has little to do with international terrorist groups and more to do with domestic right wing militias and left-wing anarchists. If you think even 50% of the money allocated for investigating terrorism is used for over seas operations and groups, you are sadly mistaken. Even groups like Greenpeace who albeit may stage some rather spectacular displays of non-violent protect by hoisting banners up the sides of buildings have been routinely investigated under the auspices of these new anti-terrorism laws. In fact, I would say these laws, as a tool, are mostly ineffectual against international groups, mostly because of the sheer amount of translation and intelligence analysis that would need to be done to catch a single potential terrorist act is of a vast amount more than abusing these same powers to silence unwanted protest from mostly non-violent protesters. NYC spent millions of dollars tracking, documenting and arresting many of the groups who protested last years RNC convention.

    Unless you are working for a fortune 500 company whose image is often worth more than its current product line up, who cares? The only filters I have ever ran at a company I did IT for was for a list of of words that included, Lolita, Child Porn, Underage, No-nude and Preteen. We caught one contractor during the 8 months I worked there and it was his personal laptop, so we contacted the FBI. He was arrested on suspicion and they found enough Child Porn on his home computers that we never heard about him again, I moved before it could be brought to trial.

    People surf porn at work that is just going to happen, if there work does not suffer and they are adults it is far more worthwhile to spend time worrying about security which can get you in real trouble.
