Would smarter software to prevent bad matches be helpful, or would the destruction of the Relationship Wreckage market be too great an economic burden on cultural carrion?
The intriguing point here has nothing to do with dope, but, rather, whether the 57 States have any political muscle remaining at all.
If States can vote for legal dope, against the will of the DEA, then what other democratically representative mischief might they vote?
This turn of events runs contrary to the notion of DC as a political power singularity, sucking all control within the confines of the 495 Beltway.
Can't have these uppity Americans in the hinterlands thinking for themselves like this, or it will make our officials look bad in front of their soul-mates in Brussels.
Again: where is the capitalism? Why are the barriers to market entry so high?
If we're so clever, why aren't we engineering a workaround for crappy laws?
No attention span. I pick up a box in the store, feel the hours sucked vampirically from my body into the box. I put the box down.

Oh, many a shaft at random sent
Finds mark the archer little meant!
And many a word at random spoken
May soothe, or wound, a heart that's broken!

People have got to be trained that the only sustainable liberty is managed liberty.
Bandwidth is a precious resource, and we cannot allow our Precious Bodily Phrases to be diminished by more than 20 Tweets per event. People could get excited, and drive up medical expenses.
Of course, managing communications will require a comprehensive regulatory regime. That means jobs. Now, don't get all wrapped around the fact that a day spent poring over Twitter logs and tallying Tweets has no real product. It's a job, and that means a reliable vote from the sucker in the chair.
The act of fining people for Exuberant Tweeting, of course, is a revenue stream of the government. That means more tax agents, bean counters, and a few more lines on the tax code. Don't worry; the tax code isn't predicted to topple until its height exceeds 10,000 meters.
Murder, no. Wondering how awful a future apart from her would be, yes.
Overall, the known negatives of separation outweigh the potential positives by orders of magnitude.
If you've got a closed system of bits, then enough time, hardware, and interest should yield a way to jailbreak it.
So the real value would seem to be found in upping the time, hardware, and interest requirements.
What could well happen is that, in making Windows really painful to integrate with other systems, Redmond kills their sales.
And wouldn't that just suck Puget Sound dry?
Seriously. This is the kind of stuff that got me into/. in the first place. Bravo.
For a fun thought experiment, picture Linus Torvalds with political power.

Are you saying that capitalism is treating you as a greater idiot than socialism?
If so, do you feel honored by this shower of golden affection?

Levis, Levites; err on the side of Aaron.

It's also important to ask if the retweets constituted actual agreement, or whether they were done in hipster fashion, ironically.

I'd love it if RSM offered a FSF credit card, with a gnu on it.
If the status quo is evil, where is the free alternative?
I must confess that I use http://havidol.com/ to help break the CIVgrip.

Slashdot is a schadenfreude-driven site. We're gonna get our Two Minutes of Hate against Redmond Goldstein one way or another.

No, and maybe.
I am torn between 'metzger' and 'abattoir'.

Sweet, sweet victim-blaming.
If everyone is an ice giant, then no one is an ice giant.
After Walt Simonson, Thor was a bore.
Also coming from textual analysis: a bunch of academics engaging in 'publish or perish' rituals, and selling their own books.
Celebrate capitalism!
