Right, because murderers deserve to be walking around with the rest of us, as if they aren't dangerous. That isn't the entire motivation behind my post though; the points I made apply for any crime, and actually any non-crime as well. For any information you make available about yourself through your public actions, you can have no legitimate legal objection (via what should be law, or natural law) to others recording that information and judging you by it.
The _murderer's_ rights aren't violated by people knowing what they did. They should have been executed anyways. But irrelevant of that, non-aggressive people also have the right of freedom of association. I for one choose not to associate with people I consider dangerous.
In a free society, criminals would owe restitution to their victims, and victims would be also entitled to request retribution against the criminal. Then people at large could make their own associative or dis-associative decisions regarding the criminal.
One thing is clear, however. It doesn't violate anyone's rights for other people to know information about them that they've made publicly available through their actions.
Note that I'm not saying I have, per se, the right to know information about other people. That would imply positive obligations on the part of other people. However, no-one has the right to stop the various people at Wikipedia from recording and maintaining an account of history. That is their private property right.

Northgate Omnikey Evolution. To my knowledge, one of only a very few ergonomic clicky keyboards (at least among the original generation); there was also a Model M15 ergonomic keyboard, I think.
Except they didn't figure out it wouldn't, and didn't prove it wouldn't. Two calculations, one showing unlikely, one showing impossible, don't seem to be good enough for me to risk global destruction.
Nice to know that the insignificant "unlikely" possibility of _igniting_ the atmosphere didn't seem to give anyone pause about using the nuclear bomb to kill nearly a hundred thousand people, and hasn't stopped others around the world from dropping them periodically in tests.
The Fusion IOdrive is faster...about 510 Mb/s according to dvnation. At $30/GB, that's not bad. Granted, the Intel one is $22/GB...but it has about twice the performance; and it's only priced about 1.4x the price of the Intel ssd.
From Newegg reviews, it seems more like the 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F1 is actually less reliable than the other 1TB hard-drives, such as the Hitachi, Western Digital, and Seagate HD's.
I understand what you're saying, but also agree with the poster below. Depending on your system, versions of libraries, even the lot number of the card, it may not work for you. But it worked for developers, and for many other people.
Who's passing the buck? You are getting a free ride; they aren't paid for it. They do this for a hobby. For sure, we hope that things we want will be supported.
I hope that Softgenlock will work for me with an ATI Radeon 3800 or 4800 card...but it would be pretty presumptuous of me to get pissy if it doesn't. (btw, softgenlock, the only way you can use 9 megapixel monitors with consumer-grade GPUs without tearing, is only available in Linux).
Or it indicates they think they don't have enough value-adding projects to spend money on. Buying back shares may be more tax-efficient for investors than issuing dividends.
So, according to you, there's no physical property involved? I guess all those web-pages are just stored on the ether? No, bullshit. Everything is stored somewhere on someone's server and hard-drive. You are using someone's physical property. It most certainly is trespassing and possibly destruction of property if you violate the conditions on which you enter that property.
As for how to how to revoke a person's right to use it, that is a technical question for MySpace to deal with, and also for them to deal with what violations to prioritize. Simply because it may be difficult to kick all people violating the rules of your private property off of it, doesn't mean you don't have the right to do it.
If I didn't want someone on my website, I would ban as many e-mails and user-addresses they made as I had to if it was important to me. This isn't some kind of game.
MySpace is private property. Violating the rules of that property should be considered to revoke one's permission to be on it, and use it; hence, it is trespassing and destruction of private property.
Well, a little bit of research shows that the p-attribute for tables will wrap them.
Btw, the way MS handles tables blows as well. See the problems I mentioned above. It's really awful.
My suggestion for editing tables in LaTeX, is to create a script to convert them to csv tabular format that OO.org can open up, and then edit them there. Then convert back from tabular format.
Sorry, but that is wrong. I have tried using MS Word in it's styles usage and it's just a PITA. Sure, you can define styles, but it still does all kinds of screwy things; heaven forbid if you want to define a custom bullet-point style, or if you want to change styles within paragraphs (e.g., emphasis).
Word also seems to do screwy things with multiplying styles for the exact same formatting. In short, anyone who's used word styles for any length of time knows that there are all kinds of horrible problems with screwy things Word does.
Not to mention the zillion other screwy things Word does. The way it deals with tables, when you have to split cell, or merge cells, is just awful. After you've created a split or a merge, try deleting a row or column you want to delete, or inserting a new row or column. It just doesn't work.
Since we live inside houses anyways, and often don't even see the sunlight as morning comes, what difference would that make? Why not just have a lights-timer in your room?
Also, the reason it's sensible is because of the regularity, predictability, economization, and scheduling simplicity, all of which getting up and going to sleep at the same hours allows for.
Right, the "wrong time"...what a bunch of non-sense. We need about 6-8 hours of sleep, and our bodies adjust to different sleep schedules. The getting up at 7 or 8 AM has to do with the entire economy running during that time, catching the day-hours, the best farming hours, etc. All things that are relevant to a modern, sophisticated, evolved economy and culture.
Summarily, it's either (a) or (b): (a) Their culture is so incredibly primitive and simplistic that there is no use for numbers, which is really a vice for a "culture"; (b) They do have use for them, just no-one's invented them, also a demerit.
but even if your rule of thumb were one that should always be followed, and shows that they "have no need for mathematics," that only shows how primitive their culture is.
That may be a good rule of thumb, but such doesn't mean it should be slavishly followed. There are circumstances where it should be deviated from; numbers and the principles of mathematics can help one figure out when one should deviate from such, and by how much.
Right, the idea that numbers wouldn't be useful in their culture is either PC BS, or just speaks to how incredibly primitive and unthinking their culture is. Presumably, even if all they do is hunt for food, sleep, and procreate, numbers are still useful in allocating how much time to spend looking for provision and how much is needed before one must (for example) return home from the hunt (e.g., optimizing the balance of feeding everyone, vs. the risk of being away from "home" at night in the jungle).
If you think that resource problems would be helped by reducing human lifespan and human population, you are welcomed to lead the way in reducing the surplus population, starting with yourself.

I use a Northgate Omnikey Evolution. Excellent solid clicky keys, ergonomic design. Great kb.
