I assume you're joking, but just in case: Honey is not the main thing we get from bees. The main thing we get from bees is pollination, and our food supply would suffer significantly if they were wiped out.
With 6 billions humans and counting, there has never been a great surplus of humans to cover any possible genetic advantage. So don't worry about wiping out a small contingent of murderers and rapists, the odds of eliminating any desirable trait are vanishingly small.
Well that seems like a bit of a stretch. Admittedly, the person I replied to didn't specify that it should be information posted by someone else, though that is pretty central to the whole discussion. In the Joe Lipari case, he actually did post the information himself.
With 500 million facebook accounts and counting, I doubt there is more than 1 in 1000 people with no doppelganger. So I guess this is something pretty much no one needs to worry about then.
The good news is, the courts are very generous to people who suffer such abuses, so you're going to get a couple million for your unwarranted rectal probe.
So the judge you would get to call taking electricity from the battery stealing would be more competent than the one who called taking gas through increased weight on the vehicle not stealing?
And to a more important matter: since when and why can't i copy paste into my comments?
That would be an edit control under the sway of your operating system and browser, not slashdot. So look into a local problem. I'd probably restart my browser, and if that didn't fix anything, reboot my computer to see if it was some odd transient error.
Yeah, the challenge with that would be to differentiate the times when those efforts actually turn up legitimate witches, which unfortunately happens all too often.
Exactly... with the religious right, we're not exactly dealing with the most rational people in the world. They're leading the most extremely subjective lives imaginable. And they are close to half the people in the US. It's very scary.
That's not that bad. You're pretty much demanding that they figure out, every year, exactly how much your worth has grown. Almost no company has the resources to do that for every employee. It would be ridiculously expensive and a waste of resources. Why shouldn't the burden be on you to make a case that your compensation level has gotten out of sync? And having made your case (successfully), and gotten adjustment, why should you be unhappy?
If they get the standard 1-year raise pattern instead, I'd expect 75% rather than 69%, so maybe this is a good industry to be in? (Half of employees wouldn't have had their 1-year review within 6 months, and half would not have deserved a raise). There's been no COLI so there's no reason to expect COLA.
I think you'll find that the pro-life and pro-death-penalty people usually rationalize it on the basis of innocence. You can't kill innocent people like babies. But murderers, rapists, and (worse) muslims? Go to town.
As opposed to when their partiality is more subtle? You just take their news at face value then? Always be suspicious of the reporting. Always. It's all done by partial observers. All of it.
Abortion for non-life of the mother issues like rape and incest is clearly equivalent to murder, if you believe a fetus is a human being. At least in life-of-the-mother you are trading one life against another, not just taking a life.
Most probable: the left hand isn't watching the right Also likely: editorial staff cares more about other issues that differentiate the candidates (copyright is a very low priority for pretty much everyone except the AAs)

Yes it is. In this case, God smited them with a pair of plagues. A lot like what he did to the Egyptians for picking on the Jews.

The govt settled in this case, presumably believing they'd lose more if the jury decided.

Settled for 2 million. Again, presumably they thought the jury would be worse.

Even linux needs a reboot if it gets hit with enough cosmic rays.
In Capitalist America too, as it turns out. For once, there is no reflection!

Who did that happen to?
In what way does that help? It's not like there can be only one John Hasler account on facebook.
In fact, right now there are 40.

So what are you going to do, deny that this other John Hasler who posts that he likes young girls is you?

I don't know, when the government gives me stuff I generally feel free to do whatever I please with it.

Well, except for the tax havens he uses to hide his income from the government.
But they'll be paying you more to handle those same pressures. Otherwise, why did you jump?

Well, that's an interesting idea, but runs counter to how newspapers have been run since there were newspapers.
