    "Do you think for one second that she is going to lock the computer and force her friend to wait to finish what she is doing? No. "

    And that's HER fault. Not Chrome's. It's all for shit if the users won't follow basic security procedures.

    So I imagine as these people think, the guy who coded the printing presses' code owns the copyright to all the books printed?

    Oregon does beat it :P

    I don't even like beer much, and there's some really good beer from my neighbor 25m away who makes his own, to a brewpub only another 50m further (I have a path through a stand of trees to the back end of the brewpub)

    And we're one up on Colorado. No sales tax on beer here :)

  14. Re:Miranda on Seeking Fifth Amendment Defenders · · Score: 1

    I understand your theoretical argument, but the 5th Amendment is what it is, and it's simply an enumerated right, not a granted right. It doesn't matter whether or not anyone thinks it's a good thing, the whole point to them is that they are yours no matter what anyone else thinks of them; if they can be taken away, they are not rights. No matter how moral the purpose may be, taking them means they are not rights.

    Abuse == Liberty
    "The only freedom which counts is the freedom to do what some other people think to be wrong. There is no point in demanding freedom to do that which all will applaud. All the so-called liberties or rights are things which have to be asserted against others who claim that if such things are to be allowed their own rights are infringed or their own liberties threatened. This is always true, even when we speak of the freedom to worship, of the right of free speech or association, or of public assembly. If we are to allow freedoms at all there will constantly be complaints that either the liberty itself or the way in which it is exercised is being abused, and, if it is a genuine freedom, these complaints will often be justified. There is no way of having a free society in which there is not abuse. Abuse is the very hallmark of liberty." -- unknown to me, wouldn't mind knowing who.

    I 3 my 82 Lolvo. And I've driven the S80. Scared the crap out of my passengers, wanna do it again sometime up and down Germantown Road in Portland; my boss told everyone at work one night "Dude can drive the fuck out of a Prius" (They're not bad cars, they can actually move) :)

    Sure, there's way faster cars, but not many can an ordinary person get ahold of one. The S80 is my current favorite.

    So you're saying we should teach this in schools at an early age, like me when the US was "converting' to metric, and we were taught very little about Imperial measurements? I'm 46 and all that did was cause me confusion as everyone was using the old style, that I was barely taught.

    If you have parliament, I doubt you're a democracy. Democracy is when everyone gets a vote -- on everything, instead of representatives. The purpose of parliament is to *bypass* democracy.
