Let's see... on the one hand there's hundreds of years of scientific investigation and clinical studies into the pros and cons of vaccination, and on the other there's some guy on Slashdot with a (probably misremembered) anecdote... this is going to be a tricky one...
That's more the problem. As I understand it, the last DD-WRT vulnerability was fixed within hours (not that that'll do much good if people aren't keeping it up to date)
I thought the point of "the law" is that it tries to be. This is illegal. That isn't.
Of course someone somewhere ends up having to decide whether or not something is worth pursuing, and every case will have its own unique factors that won't be covered in the books. But I always thought the books themselves were pretty specific about what they do cover.
I have had police let me go for being drunk or stoned in public before
That doesn't mean you weren't doing something against the law.
i really can't stand this particular logical fallacy
I can't stand false equivalence, which is what you're committing.
"Marilyn Monroe is beautiful" to which you reply "no she's not because I'VE SEEN HER BEFORE"?
If you're looking for an analogy to "this is an old one," the reply would be "yes she is, but everyone already knew that, so this isn't news" - which is what is being complained of.
Mathematician Edward Frenkel writes in the NYT that one fanciful possibility that explains why mathematics seems to permeate our universe is that we live in a computer simulation based on the laws of mathematics
Or we could live a "real" universe based on the laws of mathematics.
Slashdot Mirror
Is that an African electron or a European electron?
And it's now just called Doom, presumably.
Why "presumably"? It either is or it isn't, or there's some apparently widely-known reason why they can't call it Doom 4.

My brother will consume honey, but he is still a vegan.
I suspect some vegans might dispute that.
New Scientist magazine dubbed it "nominative determinism," and examples have graced the inside back page for years.
You'll be quite underwhelmed when you see our Lord Adonis.
I was tempted to post much the same thing, although I note that, for once, the summary isn't screaming "how do we fix this?!"
I thought Asus router firmware was open source.
has ... judgment of when and what to update.

No, not quite "have done with it." Keep it up to date as vulnerabilities are found and fixed, just like everything else.
4 tracks? Sampled sound? Luxury! Extravagance! Decadence!
Cool! I wonder what I can get for 127.0.0.1... I never use it.

The word you're looking for is "and."
Even through all addresses have been given out
They haven't:
the American Registry for Internet Numbers is still doling out IPv4 addresses
ARIN currently has “approximately 24 million IPv4 addresses in the available pool for the region,” according to President and CEO John Curran.
Mmm, vanilla squid...
It also initially wouldn't let me sign up because I was using a proxy. Not a dodgy one, just a server running vanilla squid!
And travel to Florence to do it.
Why can't she come to me? Lazy cow.
No, wait, that was Ermintrude.
A trig question to get an account? Why, that's not elitist and off-putting at all.
The law isn't black and white.

That series used existing music
And so will this one. It just doesn't exist yet.
There is ... reason to believe that a 'real' universe would not also be describable by mathematics.
Was a "no" deleted by the Matrix?
A film version by director Alex Proyas is currently in development, scheduled for release in 2013.
Based on a very brief skim of the Wikipedia summary, that is one movie I want to see get out of development hell.
Continuousness would mean you really could have a perfect circle in the universe for example
Made of what?
and that could not be simulated by a Turing machine style computer.
It wouldn't need to be. A computer might still be able to simulate our experience of such a thing.
And who's to say what other kinds of computers they have "upstairs"?
