These kinds of claims are always about laziness, and police not wanting to put in the effort their job requires, and not even caring if they do their jobs properly or not.
Surveillance should happen *after* getting a warrant.
A warrant is not an imposition, it is a rudimentary form of quality control, and a warrant is laughably easy to obtain. Not having enough evidence for a conviction (of the right party) is one thing, but not having enough to take to a judge for a warrant can only mean the case is embarrassingly weak, and they need to do some actual police work before continuing.
Are these people really invested in child discipline as an aspect of parenting, or just something to get short-term results for the duration that the children are in their custody?
(I don't know which, I just thought it was worth asking.)
Everyone's different. For some people owning a house is their hobby.
The catch is that it's a long-term investment, so you had better appreciate living in a big house, and not just enjoy the novelty for the first few months.
People understood the usefulness of the concept when the first pallets were built nearly a century ago, but a pallet isn't helpful without lift trucks, cranes, etc. That's why adoption started slow and accelerated over time.
I'm not convinced many actual scientists believe that the Chicxulub asteroid impact "was the sole cause of the extinction" - the best version I've heard is that the Deccan Traps eruptions had already put the ecosystem under stress.
The degree to which each event contributed to the mass extinction remains a fascinating question.
It does not cost anything to simply refrain from some of the most blatant lies. They lie because that's simply the kind of failed human beings that they are, even though it actually hurts their chances of success.
Smart scammers (but not these ones) would stop, as they are only wasting their own time calling someone they already know will not fall for their pitch.
Although that seems obvious, quite a lot of legitimate businesses, charities, politicians, etc., have quite a bit of trouble understanding it.
If they scam people for a living, I can't understand why they don't try harder. They 'Microsoft' people have to be the most transparent, obvious, and pathetic scams out there, which is saying a lot.
On second thought, except for the part about trying to 'help' the user, they actually are believable as employees of Microsoft.
Well, first-year calculus hadn't changed in 250 years, and second-year calculus hadn't changed in 100 years, so I'm guessing the updating isn't going to stop.
You are confusing (perhaps on purpose) the two meanings of skeptic - those with good-faith skepticism, and those who claim to be skeptics but are liars.

We need to encourage more women to participate in Darwin Award activities!
The better the visual, the more time on screen.
Thus very gifted directors should only work with very gifted editors. Look what George Lucas did when he didn't have enough editing.
"unconventional... may be more prone to rejection"
Isn't that the definition of 'unconventional'?

Since it's a democracy, everyone who is eligible to vote (whether actually voting or not) shares in the responsibility.
If there is a more effective way of teaching those things that doesn't involve punishment, why not try it?
And if there isn't?
Every parent wants the best means of discipline, but the reality is that no-one has the answers, and not enough discipline is not an option.
It sounds more like it inhibits overthinking, and enables decision-making, meaning it wouldn't help unless the creativity was already there.
Anyone on /. who does not know what ddos means
I thought it was spelled DR-DOS.

most people doing this would not be criminal terrorists so much as criminally stupid.
The crime is attempted second-degree murder. There's more to it than stupidity.

I'm surprised there isn't infringement - hasn't anyone got around to patenting 'using a socket wrench - in space'.
Americans are brilliant at deceiving their own citizens; the rest of the planet, not so much.
Try finding a politician willing to even look at legislation that enables the unions to go on strike without facing any consequences.
Predict - maybe. I don't think the birds could have prevented the tornadoes if they had tried.
I didn't say they weren't legal, I said they weren't effective in their goal.

Holocaust deniers would rather be called skeptics, but everyone knows it's not really about skepticism.

In fairness, the "in-situ" materials are the components inside the 3D printer, not materials in the immediate vicinity.
