If *this* is the reasoning, then that is truly horrible reasoning. (I'm not judging parent's reasoning, by the way.) If 100 people loot a store and one poor sap gets caught, I honestly can't imagine why the cops' (or feds' or whatever) inability to catch the other 99 should have anything to do with what sentence to give the one.
If the guy that got caught spent 2 months covering his tracks by acquiring fake/stolen license plates, creating gloves with fake fingerprints and other stuff that one sees in the movies, then yes, there is a difference.
These are lawyers who performed illegal and unethical actions in gathering and presenting their claims in court. It doesn't matter who the client is.
Really? Care to link to the ruling? Any of them been found guilty in a court of law?
I dislike lawyers as much as the next guy, but try to think with your brain instead of the lower part of your gut. Perhaps if more people did that your country wouldn't be in the fucked-up state it is in right now.
I dunno, dude, it's been a while since my high sec alt based in metropolis has seen a high-sec ore belt with any asteroids in it.
Seriously, if it's not macrominers, then there's millions of gypsy miners moving from belt to belt, system to system.
Ever seen a professional mining corp with 1 or 2 Orca's and 6-10 Hulks go at it? They can easily strip down several systems in a single evening. And the closer you are to a trading hub, the bigger the odds it'll be cleaned within hours of monday/friday downtime.
Jeez, I haven't mined for over a year, but the persistence in accusing folks without having a clue still ticks me off.
I wrote a complete irc client in perl based on 1459, with later additions from, iirc, 2811 and 2812. Not because it was useful, or because anyone actually needed the damn thing, but because I felt like it.
Nothing like going through the list of commands, testing input, and seeing the client behave exactly the way it *should* behave.
How hard is it to get this? People are innocent until proven guilty. In this case the prosecution played fast and loose with the rules, thus rendering the "proof" moot. As a result, we go back to square 1. Just because he's a scumbag doesn't change that.
Now if only we could get the bloody media to understand the basic foundations of civilization.
The evidence itself is considered tainted, a new trial: pointless.
Not necessarily. If the prosecution has solid, untainted evidence upon which a case can be built then there is a point. Otherwise the defendant is, by definition, innocent.
As a former IRC admin I have to say that the combination of the Unreal IRCD and Anope services were very nice to work with. Clients available for any platform one can think of, and dead easy to add extra functionality server-side for extra logging and so on.
Most people want us to wait until attacked before doing anthing to protect ourselves. We need whoever attacks us to know that their country may no longer exist after they attack.
Yes, yes, we know. The US of A has the biggest dick on this planet...
I'm glad the medications are there for the people that need them, but I know in my case a good, swift kick in the ass would have helped me more than the Prozac my psychiatrist prescribed me.
When I was a lot younger, I visited a psychologist together with my mom. The guy actually prescribed, on paper, the occasional swift kick in the ass.
Now, 15 years and a lot of experience later, I simply can't get over how right the good man was.
The last two are nebulous, but the first is obvious. *You own your body.* Anyone with an IQ of 90 or higher can understand that argument, and if you own your body you also own the things it can do, like use your brain to form an opinion. Or open your mouth and express that opinion (the right to speak).
Right up to the point where there is another body inside yours, where the debate flares up again...in some countries anyway.
Holy freaking [expletive]...when I was 13 I got "the talk" (way too late btw) and a friggin' set of condoms just in case...
Teenagers experiment with sex, like it or not. And the more authority figures tell about how wrong it is...the more exciting it gets. So either you educate them in time, or you'll find a bunch of them knocked up at 16 or running around with a nice disease they're afraid to go to the doctor with.
We need to create economic incentives to encourage investment in the development of alternatives, and the only efficient way to do that is through higher taxes on carbon emissions. The people who think fusion is going to save us are mostly the same ones who don't want the government to distort markets, yet somehow expect the government to magically produce viable. It's laughable.
Dontcha worry, there's plenty of countries on this planet where the subject of taxation can be discussed without a bunch of talking heads screaming about communism, and I'm sure they'll be more than happy to license the resulting tech to the US power companies...for a small fee. Ironically enough India is way ahead of the game when it comes to solar, giving Asia yet another edge for when they replace the West as the dominant empire on this planet.
My beef with abortion protesters isn't with their right to use graphic images to support their argument. I doubt they've received any form of consent to use the images. It's distasteful from the patient's perspective to abortion-rights advocates and from the child's perspective to pro-life advocates. I dislike the campaign's tactic for the same reason, a political site, or even pornography, would have been a better choice.
Sorry, I'm as pro-choice as they come, but if the aborted foetus has no rights as a human being when the abortion is considered, why should it have those rights when the consideration to display said aborted foetus on a photo is made?
Now some would say, wait a minute, I had to earn the money to buy my stuff. Well, so did the members of Metallica. What makes one system valid and the other artificial? I really don't see it.
If I have a piece of physical property in my hand, and I then hand it over to you, I no longer have it.
If I beam an mp3 from my mobile phone to yours, on the other hand...I still have my copy of the mp3.
Sure, blur a line on a map, but why not fix the things that are more important?
Actually...blurring lines on maps might solve a whole of issues regarding immigration.
"Well, you see your honor, we have reason to believe the defendant illegally entered the US from Mexico." "Really? Please show me this....Mexico on the map. Can't do it? Case dismissed!"
You seem to be implying that discussing sexuality with children against the will of their parents in inappropriate places is perfectly fine. Is that correct?
Id it's the only way to stop them having 3 little retards of their own by the time they leave high school...hell yeah?

The search warrant also specified that firewalls and printers could be seized...firewalls?
Hardware router?
Your honor, as you can clearly see I am quite...enjoying the services of this female prostitute. Therefore it is clear that I am, in fact, not gay.

Or an actual SF game with a well written story - that is not an FPS? Besides Portal (which is threading the fine line of being an FPS).
Mass Effect. As much as I hate EA...I just know I'll shell out the money for part 2.

botched prosecution, does not mean not guilty
WRONG!

Shame you keep trying to use it as your brain.
Remember, the easy way to smuggle a nuke into the US is to stick it in a sack of cocaine.
So it'll eventually end up in a congressperson's nose? :-)

And they have a plan...
If you're atheist then instead ask, "What would the voters think?"
They don't. And when they do it mostly involves sex anyway. Next question please!

Bits and bytes can be copied. Cars can't.
I think it is you who should explain why anything but a 50/50 split would be natural.
There are some things women are better at than men, and vice versa?
Such an experience will thoroughly train you to suppress your nazi tendencies. Trust me.
Because you were too busy testing just how enlightened the french are about sex? And yes, I speak from experience(no, not the grammar nazi part).
Or the quagmire that is illegal immigration...
Sure, blur a line on a map, but why not fix the things that are more important?
