You can say "In a total war, nobody will be perceived as innocent" and that is sad enough, but to postulate that nobody is innocent in a total war is taking things quite a bit too far. Get a heart while you're still alive, bud.
bits of identifying information : 11.09+ one in x browsers have this value : 2183
log (2183) / log (2) = 11.092096414990792
It's just a mathematical expression that does not heed the semantic value of the UA string. In other words, they treat "lynx" as being as common as "MSIE".
Prisons are full of career criminals who are little more than animals, but we have to be nice to them so that when we let them out again they can continue their life of crime.
I'm shocked to see a statement so ignorant and full of contempt for your fellow human beings get a positive moderation score.
That is to say, if Firefox is busy loading a page, you can still click on the menus and get a response. Different aspects of the GUI are handled by different threads,...
Germany isn't engaging in active combat activity in Afghanistan because the Grundgesetz (the german constitution) is quite strict about when, how and why the country can engage in a war, and the current engagement is already stretching it by a considerable margin.
(The GG sure is a wonderful piece of work, and that is mostly thanks to the WW II allies.)
How do you want to meaningfully discuss this issue if you haven't even understood there are different concepts called "copyright", "patent" and "trade secret"?
"Hide-your-plans" is exactly what everybody is still doing because it's the only thing that actually keeps your ideas from being copied.
It's either intellectual or property but not both. Welcome to reality, my friend.
You're forgetting something: just in a private enterprise, the administration by order and by example sets the rules and the climate that the various government agencies operate under. To accomplish their goals, the administration is given vast powers. In exchange for these powers, in a functioning republic they are to be held responsible for the deeds of their underlings, whether they can rightfully claim ignorance or not.
The administration is responsible for good government, and after an eight-year presidency doubly so.
This is why it's important not to have State control over funding; anything unacceptable - which is of course entirely orthagonal to truth or falsehood - naturally, to a lesser or greater extent, tends to be suppressed.
OK, suppose we let all scientific research be funded by non-government entities – who will be able to provide this funding? Obviously those who have the money.
What you end up with is a system where the corporate powers have even more, and more direct, influence on science than is already the case.
[...] how we don't want to test planes by crashing them [...]
I do not think this method of propulsion is ever intended to be used in a plane. The only thing where it makes sense is in a missile, evading interception on the final part of the flight trajectory. ("Makes sense" in as far as missiles this deadly make sense in the first place of course).
... place such restrictions on Indians (to name a group) who have had no involvement whatsoever in terrorism against the US and EU, defies logic, doesn't it??
Seeing this is initiated by the Department of Commerce, there may also be a different logic behind this. India is an up-and-coming industrial power in the world, competition thus. China likewise, Saudi Arabia not.

Similarly, in the vernacular:
mieren neuken (dutch) - to fuck ants
Korinthen kacken (german) - to shit raisins
"We, the citizens", you surely meant to write, not "we, the consumers".

A sad day.

You don't honestly believe the Pirate Party is going to make it past the 5% hurdle in Germany, are you?
You forgot the "now get off my lawn" part.
Except that firefox isn't multithreaded.
3 dB is a factor of ~ 1.41 times.
A factor of two is 6 dB.
A "free markets" approach is not a valid excuse for DHL to open your package.
Neither should it be an excuse to do deep packet inspection.
please keep your kind of democracy to yourselves.
We think that at its heart it's a great idea but we'd rather prefer a sensible implementation.
Thanks,

The raid still stinks though.

You do realise you're implying the plane has a choice of obeying gravity or not?
"Just remember one thing in business: obey the law, or make profit."
There, fixed that for you ...
this was probably an ancient rock star and not a shaman.
I think the difference between the two does not amount to much anyway.

The difference is your bank doesn't charge you a few k$ per bank statement found in the street carrying your name.
Not quite. You probably meant to say "unlimited sharing of copyrighted works would clearly be illegal under some jurisdictions".
I hope someone does find a way to exploit the code. People need to wake the hell up.
Chances are the code is an exploit in itself and that people still haven't woken the hell up.
