I just think we need to be pragmatic about what a punishment is. If we want it to be something that puts other people off doing the same thing then we could think up something better.
How about a drop of blood? That's all, just one drop of blood.
You have to be seriously ignorant to not see the benefit of the space program.
Ever used a cordless power tool? A smoke detector? Modern water filtration? Infrared thermometer? Edible toothpaste (this one is now used for baby toothpaste and we probably all used it as babies)? Composite forceps in the delivery room? Global communications?
The physical association can be translated to digital, especially if some thought is given to it. For example, what about a reader that applies a slight hue to the pages; eg as you get further into a chapter the pages become more red...
This is a good metaphor, since it's already true of books in any medium, including paper: As you get further into it, it becomes more and more read.
I don't think the bar association had any major issues with the lawsuits themselves. There are all sorts of lawyers out there, but as a lawyer he has to follow the professional code of conduct. The things he accused of doing:
making false statements to tribunals (perjury)
disparaging and humiliating litigants and other lawyers (professional misconduct)
improperly practicing law outside of Florida (professional misconduct)
So in other words, the problem isn't that he drew a penis but that he colored outside the lines.
E.g., Dreamweaver, the only application I've found so far to be completely unmanageable with radmind, thanks to these assholes? Macrovision?? Don't you mean Macromedia?
if you sell gloves that are missing the middle finger on one hand (for people who've lost that finger), you could theoretically dial in your adwords to catch that person. Do you start all your conversations this way?
My main concern is that some hacker kid is going to break into the traffic management network and use their monitoring systems to analyze the tire pressure on my trucks to figure out which ones are decoys and which one actually has the gold in it, at which point by manipulating the traffic signals he'll coerce it over to the right spot and blow up the street out from underneath it so it drops underground, where thieves are waiting to steal the gold.
the original Wolfenstein was the most highly optimized game I'd ever played. I still remember thinking it wouldn't run on my slow-ass computer The original Wolfenstein? What kind of box did you have, a VIC-20?
The worst I've ever seen is Sun's "do not use this in a nuclear reactor" bit Thank you so much for reminding me... I got so fed up when I read that part that I decided to just give up on the whole thing and sold off my nuclear reactor.
Can we do a distributed search engine with it? Google@home would be sooo cool. I'm afraid that's been done before, and it didn't work out so well, and may have always been a bad idea in the first place.
With the US so far behind the rest of the world already, it's time to just give up competing all together. I first read this as "time to just give up computing".
deranged, rabid, paranoid occupants eyeing each other's "neighbours" through squinted eyes... while looking for a slightest sign of "aggression" so that they can open up with their canons Oh, they already do that. They're called 'fundamentalists'.
That is why democracy fails. It is literally two wolves and one lamb voting on what is for dinner. I assume you mean 'literally' in the metaphorical sense.
Of course not. Everyone knows freedom costs $1.05.
To address your point: I think very few people believe that inventors (and artists) shouldn't be rewarded for their contributions. But many would agree that the current mechanisms in place for ensuring distribution of those rewards are not only faulty, but maliciously constructed in the first place, and frequently abused.

...per delivery.
And why can't I find a decent telegraph office for my telegrams? Where have all the telegrams gone?
We let them go for a song.
No no no, my friend: you must get the new 640GT: more aerodynamic.
Besides, nobody will ever need more than a 640GT.

Dude! You forgot Velcro!

I prefer to send the key by TELEPHONE -- spoken, but that's up to you. Also, make sure you send the telephone by FedEx.

Here we will help you commiserate as you belch out the pains brought to you by software. Fixed.
And welcome... seriously.

Get some balls. Maybe they could buy some used.
(+) And with this, I hope to equally annoy the grammar and spelling nazis out there. You mean by using a plus sign instead of an asterisk?
