Actually, last I checked, a syringe is still cheaper than a firearm. By about $100. So even your hypothetical useless comparison might not be valid. (I wouldn't have thought of this if you hadn't have complained about my real-world facts.)
Okay. So you've given a comparison that has absolutely no bearing to the real world. Congratulations. Give yourself a cookie. (Not a real one, a hypothetical one, since real cookies should only be used to reward real solutions, not hypothetical inapplicable bullshit.)
It's not cheaper than lethal injection. In America, we have rights, which include the right to appeal, and the right to hire an expensive lawyer. Guess what? Life in prison is actually cheaper than a death sentence. You're wrong, and you're propagating fallacies. Don't believe me; look into the facts yourself.
It doesn't matter what names you use. In the end, you are celebrating prosecuting people for fucking with other people. Maybe I should prosecute you for calling me names? It's a pattern of harassment! On facebook, anyone from any group can be blocked. If you don't like what someone says, block them. Take them to court? Hah! And you just justified it. No matter what snappy comebacks you have, that makes you a whiny thin-skinned douchebag.
I guess you're all for the prosecution of Wikileaks then, eh? Here's a hint: I can write a novel about how awesome it is to murder people. I can publish porn where people shit on each other. These do not contribute to society. It is speech that only amuses a few. I basically find your longwinded diatribe to be a rationalization for prosecuting someone for hurting someone else's feelings. Pussies like you erode our rights. Grow some thicker skin, and get that boot out of your mouth.
Also, your "society gains nothing" logic is completely flawed. So we're only allowed to speak in a way that helps out society? Thank you for the advice, comrade, but I'd rather be able to talk about anything I want, not just things that help society.
I burn 2 of everything too. It's been 10 yrs and i have only had to re-burn 2 or 3 discs. I RAR my big files with 8% parity internally with winrar, but I have yet to figure out how to USE that parity to recover lost data; it seems if the disc goes bad, you can't read it, so there's no way to even get the partial data back to use this. I sure wish I understood WinRar a bit better. I probably should have gone the par2 route. Too late now.
You're Iranian, and you're brainwashed by Iranian culture. Everyone knows cellphones are trackable, and this has nothing to do with backdoors. Those kidnappers are simply going to throw the cell phone out the window, or remove the batteries. You just sacrificed your rights for nothing, idiot.
When going to court, you have to meet 5 specific legal criteria to win a sexual harassment lawsuit based on a hostile work environment. The reason lawyers cost so much money is because the real legal actions cannot be summed up in 1 sentence, as much as you would like them to be.
That's what a really bad lawyer would do. A really good lawyer doesn't need to take cases he knows he'll lose. A good lawyer doesn't need business that badly.:) I've spoken to lawyers on multiple times and had them convince me NOT to sue -- after all, I'd only been screwed out of $12,000, which was not enough, according to them, to be worth suing over.
Yes, a lawsuit was specifically mentioned in the comment that started this all. Your claim of "no one said anything about a lawsuit" is completely false. Read the original comment and weep. Specifically, the part where he says "he'd be sued for sexual harrasment as well". I suggest you read more carefully before commenting -- this is just embarrassing to have to read the comment to you.
Yes, but that's not what this topic was about. The original poster whined that if a guy did this, there'd be a sexual harassment lawsuit. No, there wouldn't. Any lawyer worth his salt would tell his client they have no case.
So you're saying being arrested and dragged into court is no big deal, and you wouldn't mind that? Hah! You'd have to pay for a lawyer, and you would not be reimbursed for that fee. You would have an arrest warrant which would prevent you from getting employment at various places for the rest of your life. (No, the arrest doesn't just disappear if the case is dropped. Look it up.)
You're an ignorant idealist who would rather argue and call names with a random person on the internet, than accept reality for what it is and google what I'm talking about. Here, let me google it for the big baby:
Accept. Reality. Douchebag.
Yes it is. As much as we would all love to have power over the world, we can't just declare laws and have that be the laws that are. You're wrong, you're making shit up, and it's an embarassment and disservice to the slashdot readers. Look it up.
And you're STILL wrong. The article summary says "Even private plane passengers have to have all their baggage scanned". THAT. IS. NOT. TRUE. And I know this firsthand because I flew on a private jet.
When someone is making a sweeping claim, YES, ONE SET OF ANECDOTAL DATUM (used the singular for you) DISPROVES IT. Private passengers do not have to have all their baggage scanned; mine wasn't and nobody I know who has flown on one has ever had their scanned.
You're just jealous of my rightness, and the fact that I got to fly on a private jet. Don't even have the balls to post as a non-Anonymous Coward. Talk about being a smarmy little pussy.

Did you complain this loudly when we went to war in Iraq and Afghanistan? For those are much more costly than this.

Okay, come prosecute me now, pussy!

What technical means did not exist here? You can make anything on facebook private; you can block specific people if you don't like what they say.
What you are asking for is a next-generation torrrent client, not a next-generation torrent.

What about DVD-Rs? Kept in spindles??
Your signature alone is enough to earn friend status from me here. Praise "Bob"!

Nothing here fits any of the criteria. My original comment to GP stands.
You use the term "sexual harassment", but I don't think you actually know what it means.
You're an ignorant idealist who would rather argue and call names with a random person on the internet, than accept reality for what it is and google what I'm talking about. Here, let me google it for the big baby: Accept.

Too bad about their drug laws, harsher than most of Europe.
