  2. The proper comparison would be editing a person X posting something racist directed at person Y to be directed to person Z. A huge difference and even more so when person Z is the one responsible for moderating where person X posted.
     

  3. I don't know where you learned to read but really... You are making a strawman only using your handwaving instead of straw. It doesn't work very well.

    Oh I wonder... Maybe that almost all nationalities that emigrated to the US first willingly segregated themselves by nationality and language before integrating properly? Irish, Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Norwegians, Swedes etc. The integration is more swift today than before and even in the past the effective integration period was ~1 generation.

    Why are you so afraid of Chinese in particular?

    Fact: you are posting bullshit.

    Do you even understand what racism is? Using statistics can be racist if done in the wrong way, that is what the article was about, not what you want it to be about. There were no claim that math is racist and your other statement is trivially wrong.

    Yes but that ignores the obvious fact that Asians undermines the civic society! Everybody knows only Aria... European stock can have civic societies, just look at the mud huts and cannibalism so wide spread in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, China etc., that's not a way for a true Arian to live!

    The secure boot spec is revised as computer manufacturers want to be able to remove the option - as it reduces support costs.

    You don't have to like it (I sure don't) but not understanding an issue before complaining is foolish...

  18. Re:should have contracted to utilize blender on US Navy Denies Pirating Software on 550K Computers, Says It Had Bought Licenses For 38 Machines (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    LOL! I hope you are kidding, for some uses it can actually be orders of magnitude of price difference between buying some _expensive_ software and taking open source software and funding development (in the case of blender probably rewrite the whole lot). Not in the favor of open source. Oh, and that assumes you can wait let's say 10 years on the result.

    Or else one could buy that _expensive_ software and after 10 years of updates have a cheaper and more capable alternative.

  19. That's not how the law work.

  20. Bounds checking overheads are commonly in the noise, even when it is not the difference isn't large.

  21. Playing dense? Both "fact" and "know" are used in the right way in the quote you (or another AC) criticize. We have no proof there isn't a "hack" which means - in fact, for all we know, there could be a "hack".

    Repeat until you get it.

  22. That is not how the world works. No, they will not be sentenced as it isn't illegal for them _with_permission_ to serve goods that would be illegal otherwise, this in order to catch actual criminals. While most of the time police try to use dummy goods (fake drugs that appear genuine unless tested chemically, weapons that seem to work 100% but can't actually be fired etc.) sometimes that isn't possible - and this is the case here. This isn't something novel and it isn't something illegal for the police.

    No.

  24. While generally a good comic for the topic I don't like the example of a protest march. It isn't illegal to walk, there isn't an indication that the people in the march had conspired to block anything etc. Unless doing something that is legal at the same time as others that do the same legal thing is illegal that makes no sense.

    (I understand that the scenario was chosen to illustrate what isn't entrapment but it still pisses me off)

  25. Here's a hint: police have more rights than ordinary people in order to enforce laws. While it is commonly avoided police have been distributing weapons and illegal drugs (with the receiver under careful watch) in order to catch criminals. Why is this different? The intent is to catch criminals, that is people that download and/or distribute child pornography, so they set up a way to identify the persons accessing the illegal goods and continue to make it available a while. Analogous operations have been done forever and is in no way entrapment.

    Also how do you think anyone can be prosecuted if the police isn't allowed to handle the illegal goods?
