"Marisa Mayer, Google's vice president responsible for everything on the search page" wow she must be really busy...How did they come up with such a sleek design? LOL..
originality maybe, trying to sell someone a car for 100x what it's worth happens everyday at every used car lot in America. Selling pixels on a web site doesn't......
this statement is so true, and scary at the same time, it is crazy that you can't even say things like why the hell are we in Iraq without thinking that you will recieve some kind of backlash or that you are somehow unamerican, the most american thing you can do is exercise your rights and criticize the government......this country is built on people criticizing and fighting the government that's why we're supposedly free here in america in the first place...
it may be because the political interest groups sent out way too many emails asking you to donate, vote, get the vote our or whatever. I remember getting at least an email a day from a certain political activist group
both of your examples 1.evading taxes to give to charity 2.stealing money from a bank to give to charity
in both cases your INTENT is to steal money from one source and give to another source....hacking into a computer isn't stealing what are you stealing ?
Crime is based on INTENT.... why do you think crazy people don't go to jail....why do you think 10 year old children don't go to jail....why do you think someone who kills someone by purely accident gets a slap on the wrist....
Maybe i worded it wrong, yes they intended to hack a computer, but their intentions were only to hack, not to do anything else, so ok they're guilty of figuring out how to break into a safe and not take anything oh know they should be punished severely....
well the difference is obvious so what you're asking is a loaded question. Other people too have compared this to killing as a crime, which is also absurd.... It is what it is, maybe it's foolish to do, but it's not the same thing as an actual crime, because actual crimes and even actual crime's punishments are based on intent. They intended to use the information in an educational manner and they also intended to tell the chess club that they did it, they didn't intend to change madonna's account around so that every time she went pawn to rook 4 a wav of material girl played...wait a minute that's a good idea...
join the alcu, the $50 it costs will go towards protecting our liberty and you will also get all kinds of mail on this stuff and who knows it may persuade you to help out. I throw out half of it after i read it, but it at least keeps me abreast of issues.
i don't mean to issue flame bait but isn't the reason why people started charging for stuff like software because they knew that if they didn't they'd be doing work for free ? I think that the only way you can make money with open source software is through value added support, so now you have something they need. People aren't going to pay you for something they can get free unless it's value added, it doesn't have to be much i.e. spring water's only value added point is that it is supposedly more pure eventhough regular water is free.
the main problem we face at my work is that international orders are hard to process because international institutions will not do billing address verifications therefore we need people from other countries to send us a faxed or scanned copy of their drivers license (or passport) and credit card they used with a consent to purchase signature. The reason being, is if a person who's billing address is not the same place we send the tickets to then we are considered at fault in any kind of credit card charge back, so basically you have visa, amex, discover etc... to blame for us making it hard at least, not sure about other online merchants but i would venture to guess its a problem. Not to mention we contact to confirm orders, so calling is tough to do because of different hours and long distance rules etc.... Email works but not if the consumer doesn't check it alot, also if they get back later when the merchandise is gone....

maybe the isp's should tell any user that signs up to go to zonealarm.com
oh so i guess the main thing they use it for is over-reacting. Or is that just what people who use ham radio do on slashdot ?
ham1: yeah how's the weather out there bob ?
ham2: it's kind of crappy it's real dark and we don't have any electricity
ham1: oh yeah, so what kind of radio do you have bob ?
ham2: oh i got myself a pro810x with a echo microphone.
ham1: cool bob, cool, i myself have the pro1520
ham2: that's a nice one, so how's the weather up there ?
