FUCK YEAH! You gotta fight... for your right... to be a BIIIIIIGOTTTTT!
Exactly. People should be free to express their opinions, bigots or no. You have to fight for your rights. I know I don't want random people deciding that certain opinions or words are outright banned.
I'm not disputing that, and in fact, I agree with you. I was making fun of bigots. You know, fight hate speech with more speech, and all that.
On many countries calling someone, be it online or not, those specific insults will land you in jail. Don't be jealous, soon enough that will come to you. That is, unless sane people fight back. But we know that won't happen.
FUCK YEAH! You gotta fight... for your right... to be a BIIIIIIGOTTTTT!
Honestly the freedom of speech that was being protected in that case were of the women, not of Flint.
Distinction without (much) difference. Point is, publishing a picture — pornographic or otherwise — is speech...
it might a violation of copyright
Your image is not copyrighted — or else paparazzi's trade would've been illegal.
Paparazzis can publish those photos because they are of public figures. They cannot do the same to people who are not public figures. Just as some asshole doesn't have the right to publish sex photos of his ex, because she (if the cases we're discussing) is NOT a public figure, and does have an expectation of privacy.
That's awesome, I refuted your invalid point, you claim I refuted nothing by bringing up different crap.
Okay, let me respond to all the crap you'll throw next by pointing out that people who invent things are smarter than you, and more interested in solving problems than pointing out why the solutions won't work.
There, are we done now? Wait, I don't care. You're BORING. cya.
You miss the point. More than one camera would cover each critical spot, or two or more would cover parts of it, so those spots can still be shown with some failures in the system.
Cameras embedded into side panels (or better yet, the roof) of a car will not shake enough to matter. Also, thanks for the idea - multiple cameras combined with 3d displays that don't require special glasses will provide a better 3D view.
But if you haven't already, go ahead and dump on the original poster, because any contribution to a conversation will benefit from the application of scorn and derision.
I think they should replace the rear-view mirror with a 180 degree "mirror" that's a real-time composite of around the car, like a convex rearview mirror, but without pillar reflections and such in the way. That's the closest to today's operation that makes sense to me. And with that, you'll *never* have something you need to move your head for.
Ding ding ding! We have a winner. That's exactly what we should have. Also, a smart system could sense when any of those cameras stopped operating, and the others could fill in at least temporarily to cover the critical spots.
yes, with slightly different versions of Java with slightly different bugs, different screen sizes, different processors, different installed libraries.
There was no indication that this device can determine *what* was learned, much less that false information can be implanted. It just helps or hinders people in the speed with which they learn. Your comment is just tinfoil hat ranting, which I don't recommend you wear when they strap you in and put one of these things on your head. Do you have a source for anything that even potentially matches your dire warning?
Uhm, so Google read the email of one of its employees? Gosh!
Google read the email of a third party that that one their employees sent an email to. Google have the ability to, and willingness to, read private email of people who use gmail who are not otherwise connected to google. Gmail isn't to be trusted.
Do you actually know this, or are you guessing? If I were Google (though I'm not really evil), if I suspected a Google source for a journalist's story, I'd look at the SENT email from all employees, for any emails going to the journalist.
Come on, it's friggin' Google, that search would probably take a second. Also, they'd find every source within Google, and it would all be legal; no reading of a non-Google employee required.
we cannot, as a society, debase ourselves by resorting to torture of the mind, body, or soul.
What else is there? Have you ever heard of any sentences in any societies, that didn't involve that stuff in some form?
Have you ever heard of the Eastern State Pentitentiary in Pennsylvania? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E... Think about the word, "penitentiary". The people who founded and ran this prison did think in terms of rehabilitation, and not brutal punishment.
Of course, the place is now a tourist attraction, turns into a haunted house in October, and for Bastille Day, a drunken young woman playing Marie Antoinette addresses a crowd and throws Tastykakes at them (this is true).
Same bible, different chapters. The OT is full of psycho garbage like this.
Well yeah. What do you expect from a mishmash created over hundreds of years, removed from the experiences of living people, about what is essentially stolen from dozens of earlier religious stories?
How anyone can credit any of the Christian myth (or Jewish or Muslim) is beyond me.
Now, the hypothetical of a virtual reality prison, where prisoners could spend hundreds of years getting actually rehabilitation... that I could get behind. But then, there are so many better, more interesting uses for a such a technology that using it to imprison (even for rehabilitation) seems like it would be an afterthought.
If you're black, you're basically unemployable after being in prison.
Also if you're white, red, yellow, or a fetching shade of mauve.
Don't bring race into this.
How about the continuing drug policies that are decimating entire generations of black men, who are incarcerated for petty drug offenses that would earn probation and drug treatment for whites. Blacks are incarcerated at a much higher rate, and lose their right to vote, ability to find work, receive public assistance, and if their family is in public housing, even the right to visit them.
In the meantime, we have Federal agencies disobeying a Restraining order to get a customer list of a gun shop who was not doing anything illegal, simply because it "MIGHT" be illegal at some point in the future.
I think your rejection of rehabilitation is troubling, but the above is what got my attention. Citation, please, that sounds too fucking stupid to be real.
Tests have already been done on countless millions of people. None of them complained about being dead, said they'd rather be doing something else, or petitioned to be made no-longer dead. Zero.
Our common sense (and some very strong instincts) tell us it's an extremely bad thing, but thousands of years of observations suggest that once it happens, nobody really cares anymore.
You've just been ignoring their complaints. They're screaming in pain in various haunted houses.
And thank god they can't hear the dead in Italy. All those centuries of dead Italians hanging around the villas.
I think you mean "stock options", or even worse, "phantom stock appreciation rights". I have tons of those from failed startups.
But actual stock in a going concern from a company already trading (yes I know, that's not a startup) can actually be pretty good. I joined Cigna after they fucked their stock by rolling out a new customer service platform in the 90's that sucked balls and dropped their membership by 15%.
The stock I got as the price gradually recovered sold for a nice sum, while people there from before the disaster bemoaned they were still under water for most of their stock.

I think that one was on "License to Ill".
You'd have to be blind as Ann Franks to not see this.
Yeah, it sure was dark in that attic.
And it's Ann Frank, not "Franks".

How's the weather on Tralfamador?
yes, with slightly different versions of Java with slightly different bugs, different screen sizes, different processors, different installed libraries.
It's the easiest platform to develop for, by far.
Yes, that's called job security.
Mod parent up! Hilarious! And crazy!

...cause when we execute people by electrocution, they certainly do learn their lesson!
There might be some other way(s) they could have gotten ahold of the message, such as internet traffic monitoring of the employee's computer.
Or just, you know, search the outgoing email of every Google employee. Why is this not obvious?
Uhm, so Google read the email of one of its employees? Gosh!

I hear you, but have you seen this documentary about an experimental prison like you describe? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...
It didn't work for Simon Phoenix.

No, we shouldn't do that. From the summary, it sounds like the very definition of "cruel and unusual".
Ya, I am pretty sure they use this information to weed out unsavories during the enlistment process.
Um, what? So they're concerned you might not be Navy material because of speeding tickets, and unfit to join the ranks that commit sexual assault?
Sounds a bit like Alice's Restaurant.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice%27s_restaurant

Oh, I was only commenting on the availability of a huge trove of resources in the solar system.
Not immortality. Fuck that nonsense.
