Because you can opt out. Of course, you won't opt out because you don't want to have to call your ISP and say "Please can you let me look at porn", or explain to your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife why you've had the filth-filter turned off.
this makes no sense. the rule here is "opt-in." that means you necessarily have to call your ISP and say, "Please can you let me look at porn." that's exactly what this is. you are, by default, opted-out. censorship is on by default. what was that about not thinking too hard? stupid lazy fuckers and that...
lmfao! you think they will deny employment to porn viewers? there'll be no one left to do anything, anywhere! the predictable result of a situation like that is a huge boom in the porn industry as they become deluged with job applications for "key grip."
i bet it turned out to be an oversized print of a single copy of the quran. jihad on me for not capitalizing it. so if i find a large quantity of christian literature, should i assume an impending crusade? actually, i probably should.
this argument sounds good until you think about any jury in an apple case, where you likely find at least more than one computer illiterate steve jobs worshipper who will have a bias on high level subjects they don't understand. juries are picked to eliminate those who display bias (or at least they're meant to be, really it's a dodgeball-team-picking session where they try to slip biased prospects past the other attorney). it doesn't always work out (rodney king, oj simpson...) but that's a flaw of the legal system and humanity in general, not specific to collecting jury pools from tech-related fields.
expert witnesses are not necessarily expert teachers. and we are still talking about concepts that even expert teachers have to spend months conveying, with piles of years of experience afterward to understand what is going on in these cases. i was a promising coder 10 years ago, but i wouldn't have had the slightest clue about the dirty details of open source licensing agreements, or the politics of who owns an API. i understand them now and i can honestly say i'm unbiased. i even program android sometimes, but i'm not in any way invested in google's success in this case. these juries just don't have enough time in the day to solve these things appropriately. you might as well be asking the jury what they feel the marital status of the number 5 is.
the rest of us who know what we're talking about have to sit around and wait for outsider judges and juries to decide the context of things far outside their grasp. it takes years for an engineer to become competent in these technologies, and now we have bus drivers and secretaries deciding what applies to us and our trade in the span of mere weeks. can we get specialized jury selection for cases involving specialized knowledge?
this isn't the military. the abuse potential for conflicts of interest is negligible in the teacher/student relationship compared to the military, or business. in the military and business worlds, the relationship is boss/flunky. teacher/student relationships are more like mentor/apprentice (or should be), and so friendship bonds are actually desirable -- not neutral or detrimental. if we were using cooperative education vs competitive, we wouldn't even be talking about this. sexual relationships between students are already banned, so this anti-friendship law is just a bit too much law of moses. that right there should be everyone's first clue that the purpose of this law has little to do with its name, like most laws. laws more often do the opposite of what they were voted in to do.
We could blow up a US ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba.
We could sink a boatload of Cubans en route to Florida (real or simulated).
It is possible to create an incident which will make it appear that Communist Cuban MIGs have destroyed a USAF aircraft over international waters in an unprovoked attack.
agreed, so a more interesting question is what's more unproductive - unity or gnome3? both make me want to kill myself, but i like unity better because it makes me desperate to kill myself quicker, like with a gun, as opposed to slitting my wrists, which i hear can make you chilly and sensitive to drafts. with mac os x, it's more like a desire to jump off a building -- i still want to die quickly, but maybe a little user experience along the way doesn't hurt. and then the abrupt too-much-user-experience stop at the end.
don't forget, that holstered keyboard is really a proto board he soldered keys onto, because the keyboard is another tracking vector. and where's the inside out, tinfoil covered umbrella with 20lb speaker magnets connected to a colander on the tip and a deep-cycle battery on his folding razor scooter (collecting energy from his pushing off), for blocking any van eck phreaking attempts?
so authors shouldn't get a dime because they didn't invent the novel (novella, novellette, short story, epic poem, etc) format. or authors shouldn't get a dime because the guy who invented the alphabet did all the work. instead if they can't pay the Ministry of Language they should come up with their own alphabets and expect people to completely relearn how to read each time they read someone new. hell this should apply to human languages on a whole. anyone whose language uses the roman alphabet, or even whose language has a parent, is infringing. and don't complain, the russians figured this out. obviously the first step to enforcing this brave new world is to start taxing slang. word, yo, that'll be 10 duckets.
wait a minute... some people make a living from public speaking... and they're using the same language as the rest of us! those communist assholes! they should have to invent their own unique language and matching alphabet (for transcription) -- or else pay each listener for the speaker's privilege of speaking in their tongue. if more than 10% of the language is similar to another language, it's infringing. that'll teach people to stand on the shoulders of giants, the whole ungrateful lot.
engineers, your new directive: reinvent the wheel or perish. oracle deserves the success of android the same way james joyce deserves philip k. dick's success and you can just diaf.
looking at the message history, quotes like "Service is down again: skype strikes back" imply that skype is doing something to protect their users' privacy. at the least it proves that Ivan thinks so.
i thought the same thing for about a split second, then i realized it was a joke on new jersey, which is always appropriate and funny. what was that about reading comprehension?
that's brilliant. it wasn't me pirating movies, officer, only my super-obnoxious fictional character who i "portray" on vlogs does that illegal stuff. if that's not a defense, they should lock up denzel washington for impersonating a police officer.
you've got rocks in your box over "radio" beacons and i'm the pedantic one? here's a clue, dipshit: there are lots of kinds of beacons and people aren't psychic so being specific, if you mean a specific type of something, is actually helpful in conveying your idea. since you don't have a single one of those, it's no surprise all this is lost on you.
i implied, about 3 replies ago, that i wasn't considering beacon to mean "radio" beacon. too bad your inability to grasp subtlety and nuance prevented you from noticing that. just admit you weren't aware of any other kind of beacon that could be interpreted in that context. just admit it, dumbass. i should also point out that the properties of a radio beacon do not make it uniquely suited to fit your example. your question can easily be summed up as "will we ever intentionally advertise our existence..." etc etc etc. if your fear is trusting alien life, what specifically about radio beacons disqualifies any other kind of intentional advertising?
btw, it's my co-workers' inability to grasp subtlety and nuance you should be worried about. i won ~$8000 playing poker last friday night. and you're a dumb fuck.

i refuse to use my phone for anything while driving, hands-free headset or otherwise. my boss doesn't like it, but i don't give him the choice.
thanks for agreeing with me... if you wanted Spad to notice, you should reply to him, though.
