Although their proof might be (IANAM). I remember reading this articleon slashdot around the time it was written. Although, for what it's worth, I don't think it technically qualifies as a dupe.
I am curious, why do the lawyers on slashdot always preface their statements with "this is not legal advice"? Is there some sort of conduct rule regarding that?
Also if I am on crack can I use the above as legal advice? Will I be billed?:P
when you are filing complaints about someone making pornagraphy available to anyone of any age, please avoid also making pornagraphy available to anyone of any age. Also, when someone asks you about it, try to avoid using the words "midnight run" to describe it.
I agree with you on some levels, but I would argue that while the staring may be confrontational, it is only threatening because of a mindset of fear by the person being stared at. Our current social mores permit for more communication when attempting to create a relationship with someone new, but this has not always been the case, and as such staring at someone we are attracted to (while impolite, and possibly disconcerting) is very deeply entrenched in our sexuality and mating rituals. Still doesn't make it right, but for some people who haven't spent enough time developing adept social skills, it may be the only way they know to communicate their desire for a relationship.
I think I see what you are getting at, and you are perhaps correct that the asian women category doesn't belong in the context of that sentance. However, I am pretty sure it was to reinforce the suggestion that he might give in to his impulses when facing someone who is both asian and a child. Still not a good argument, but plausible. Whatever the reason, I have strong doubts that the OP was making a statement against women, asians, or objectification of them.
I believe the point he was trying to make was that the man displayed a preference for asians and children (and therefore asian children) and was subsequently transferred to china were he would be faced with real life versions of both.
My company is giving me poor posture and carpal tunnel through their use of poor lighting and inferior office furniture. Should I be paid more as well?
You drunk driver and public gun arguments are to flawed to respond too.
Most of what is on the internet or comes through the internet is an attempt to sell you something that you don't really want.
I think it's absurd that we can't build an informational network or communications infrastructure without having it jammed pack full of ads and scam-artists, but apparently that's the world we live in.
I hope that everyonewho reads this (and the other similar opinions that will no doubt be echoed in this thread), understands that this is a neccesary evil that we must endure in order to enjoy the greater freedoms that the internet has to offer (anonymity, freedom of speech, freedom for censorship). If enough people start complaining about ads, illegal porn and security breaches (mark my words on that last one), these freedoms will be put up on the chopping block. We all know the poem by Pastor Martin Niemöller... It works both ways. Please do what you can to help educate people that the problem isn't the internet, but rather a societal problem.
IOW: don't say "this website is a scam", Say this company is a scam, and they have sold their credibilty. I hope I am making the distinction clearly, I am late for lunch and my blood sugar is low o.0

since the linked article doesn't have one...
No, they didn't have one. They had nine. And a video.
I misread this as "spam powered nanobots"
Wow, another list of free games? The last three articles weren't enough?

NAND organized flash has good write speeds but poor read speeds and NOR is the other way round.
so that's why they need to combine the chips, one to write to and one to read from!

Why can't I login with a USB key that has some piece of information which is signed using my private key on it?
because I stole the key from you while you were getting a starbucks?
why would a bad lay help?

it's threatening, in a very real sense.

more to the point, what is to stop me from "selling" my free versions when the band gets popular? What if I give them away?
