Makes me wonder if the telcos spent just a fraction of the money they do on advertising and fighting all types of competitors, and used that to improve their product, what would happen? (Yeah, I know pipe dreams and all that)
OK, I'm not the guy that I posted about. I live near Philadelphia, where looking at someone wrong can get you dead. It was a by-product posting of the area I'm in. Me, personally, would only go that far if someone's life is in danger. Want my car, wallet, laptop- feel free, I want to be breathing tomorrow.
Sorry how I came off, just the messed up area here and the peoples' attitudes. Sad state of affairs that it affects me like that.
Worse today? Probably not. More reported today? Most definitely. I'd actually argue that more bad stuff by officials get caught and reported than [insert number] of years ago. And like you said, judges and cops are just people, and if they know there is increased scrutiny on them, maybe they'll act better. Then again, I'm probably just naive.
I agree with this. How many people know the fine bits of law, much less knowing just the basics? Though I'm not a big fan of having a single person appointing judges, either- too much chance of corruption. Your peer review/election idea I like.
The moral vs. legal argument has been argued for... since we had a legal system? Good luck solving this one on/. Though I do agree with you morality and legality should basically line up together. (There is always some outlier or exception)
I'll make it easy for you- don't steal anyone's car, you don't get dead. Don't steal anyone's stuff- you don't get hurt. Bottom line- don't steal people's stuff.
I thought the police adhered to a "in plain sight" rule. So if you leave a kilogram of weed on your dashboard, that would be reasonable cause to secure the car. If it's in your trunk, they can't go jacking it open, so you're safe (well, for moderate amounts of safe). Or maybe it varies state to state? Gah, too many laws for me to remember- I'm going straight up Thunderdome on Monday.
Interesting idea- hundreds or thousands of people using Guy Fawks(?) masks while walking around. I'd love to see the law they would try to pass about that. They'd try the "can't conceal face thing", and then come back at them with "It's freaking winter and my face is freezing, so I want to wear a ski mask." Then it would get weird with them trying to target the masks specifically, or try to up set dates when you could wear cold-protecting face masks, etc.
Not sure about the RFID thing, unless you're trying to steal something?
At least someone else realized that this is just all math predictions. TFA even says that we can't experimentally model the core of Jupiter. Was it Galileo that dropped into Jupiter? For a whole few hundred miles? Sorry boys, but you're playing with math here, not with anything even approaching real known conditions on Jupiter.
Yeah, yeah, expensive and really difficult to engineer. Stop being wimps and just do it. We've sent chimps into orbit just for shits and giggles, now do something useful again. Call it environmentally friendly and you'll have all the money you want.
You could just let the guys crush each other, watch it, and enjoy the mayhem. You know, entertainment and all that?
Seriously, some of these posts sound more like doctoral research projects rather than a sports game. Pressure sensors in cleats, proximity sensors in receivers' gloves, GPS tracking on the football (is Russia gonna steal it?). There is nerd level and then there is "whacking off to his new GPU board" level.
Clay tablets had sharp, point corners. That was the only anti-piracy they had back then- you'd poke the thieves with the pointy corners saying "Bad Sumerian IP thief!"
Pretty much. If the NSA or Gogle wants to snoop on my recipes and Christmas lists, feel free. Anything important goes through the company's servers, so that's their problem. Anything important in my personal life is done with RFC 1149 (I can't afford 2549).
I appreciate that response. I am glad that you saw my criticism in a positive way. Your response on situational legalities gives me things to ponder on.

Hey, I'm Polish, but I'm bad with languages. (Plus the Golden Child was one of Murphy's best movies)

Sadly, yes.

For a second there, I thought you said the -beer- part of the 2nd. Gave me a double take, lol.

Unless I missed something, I think he was replying to someone that was complaining about browser cookies.

A bit over the top, but there is truth there.

Thanks guys (and/or gals), I needed a laugh today. :)
Hard to believe Sony is involved with something that DOESN"T involve DRM.

Must suck on Halloween.

Great, you just gave SyFy it's next disaster movie. And yet I'm still a sucker for them, heh.

Do we like Apple more or less now?
It's science, people!
