you lose your ground that way. having everything grounded cuts down on the risk of static electrical discharge. you really should turn your power supply to off, though.
actually, i don't, i could just be full of shit. but it seems like it could be treated like any other fraud case to me. i wouldn't expect charges to be pressed because of how embarassing it would be, though.
so you sock it to that one guy on taxes because he can't defend himself against democracy.
it sounds like he's the one getting screwed in the current system, but it can also be argued that he derives great benefits from things like roads and national security that build stable economic channels that his wares can be sold in. it's very difficult determining who deserves to be taxed, because it's not exactly an opt-in system.:)
there's nothing ethical about using the government to force people to pay them. a social security net would be just fine if you weren't forced to participate. if you want to pay people for something other than something you want from them, it's up to you, as well it should be, but i don't think it's reasonable to force me to as well.
i only pay, uncompelled, for something i want in return, and i realize that makes me different than a lot of people. i'm forced to conform though, by penalty of imprisonment; i don't think that is ethical.
lying to get hired is fraud, and you can go to jail for that, as well as having to pay back any wages plus damages, even if they seem earned to you. lying for money is a very bad plan.

i guess you could chunk the page up into several smaller ones and then have the fish read them for you. i think the diagrams convey a wealth of information.

What's the difference between average age of death and life expectancy? Average age of death seems pretty much irrelevant for someone that hasn't just been born. I'd be much more interested in a chart of what age you are mapped acrossed the projected average age of death. What is the average age of death after you start constricting the sample to people with the same attributes as you, especially people that didn't die as infants? Seperating male from female doesn't tell us all that much that we can make assumptions based on.
why shouldn't they be ridiculed for believing in things that aren't facts or even related to facts. their beliefs are their choices and in making those choices they accept the consequense of being thought stupid for them. what's so wrong about that?
building photovoltiac cells on earth is an ecological nightmare. also, the moon doesn't really have much frequent wear and tear since it doesn't have an atmosphere, that would keep maintenence down. also, the moon is near enough to earth that remote control of many functions would likely be practical.

those areas have weather though, making maintainence a bitch. also it's hard to transport electricity over long distances. microwave is good because from up high you can just point it where you want it, a terrestial system with orbital microwave relays would still be extremely expensive. solar panels manufacture is also bad ecologically, which is something you don't really have to worry about on the moon.
How can racism be compared with discriminating on the choices of an individual. People should be held responsible for things they choose or can change (religion, nickname, etc), but it is absolutely ludicrous to hold someone responsible for their race, which they have no control over. Comparing the two things doesn't make any sense at all.
There isn't suitable user control of flash. flash is used in annoying ways(think ads) on many sites and isn't easy to enable/disable in any browser I've seen. If I had the control to only display the last frame of animation and disable frivolous and visually distracting events I could tolerate having the flash plug-in installed.
As near as I can tell flash use is never appropriate for a general use website because it lacks accessability settings and has a tedious enable/disable procedure. To me, that constitutes sucking.
By not making me install the plugin and then close my browser when I'm done flash free sites are doing me a big favor.
I had no idea how they were applying the first amendment to the case, but that line of reasoning makes a lot of sense, thanks for the reply clearing this up.
What does a store not providing records have to do with the first amendment? Is there a news story about this anywhere?
There is really no guarantee of anonymity in the first amendment that I can see. I would see this more related to the "unreasonable search and siesure" statutes because police may not have had compelling reason to request the documents.
Having passwords written down isn't a bad thing; having them written on a post-it note on your monitor is.:)
Passphrases for things like signing keys and such are often kept in a bank vault. Passwords like those are very long though and nearly impossible to remember. The ideal solution is for no unauthorized parties to have the password, but that can't be guaranteed just because it's a long random memorized password. Usually the best you can do is make it so your password can't be found without you knowing about it, and that can be done with written passwords that aren't left laying around.
My method is to have the password in written form in my wallet for about 10-20 uses, after which I'm confident I won't forget it and then I eat or burn the paper.
