To say that slavery has a race is simply the stupidest thing that I'll hear today. They're not pointing to racial facts, but rather inhumane actions that took place only with slaves. Color of the slaves skin didn't matter as far as their point in concerned. You are the one that brought race into the picture here, kiddo.
Granted, after you do this, you're in for the full treatment, but that's a judgement call you need to make.
This is the mentality that these type of cops love, and wish everyone would develop. If you feel that by simply verifying that you're not about to get raped by someone who is acting outside the law, you are then "out of line" and deserve some form of "the full treatment" (whatever the hell that is) then you are the reason that things have lapsed into the state as they have. Allowing someone to push you around in ways that are illegal, simply because they represent the legal authority, is placating and nourishing the wrong mentality. What good do you expect to come from that? I'll tell you what. Eventually every woman and child will be anally probed by such "authorities" because they'll see you as weak and possibly doing wrong. Stand the fuck up for yourself when you're in the right. It's what the actual universal authorities demand! It's how things naturally balance themselves out.
Exactly, thank-you. So what proves that they're legitimate cops? If they're acting outside of law, and ordering you to do things without telling you why, taking you stuff, not giving you a reason - all the while you're cooperating as though they're real cops - to me that tells me that they're not real cops, and should be reported to the authorities. I mean, how do you validate the authority, if not by it's actions?
The higher up it goes, the more effective the ruling is.
Another thing I'd like to point out is that marijuana is illegal because they used chimps to demonstrate that if you suffocate a monkey with smoke, it kills them.
I hope you're right. However the article isn't pointing out what was done and why. It's pointing out that they never told him why, didn't allow him any of his entitled legal rights, and took his stuff for no apparent reason. It's the kind of thing that is happening a lot around the world (remember when they forced the president of Bolivia to land his presidential plane?
I was thinking the same thing. It may have been due to certain freedoms that remain in the US that are not there in Auckland. Or that Auckland is now another US lap-pet. Hell, look at what they did to Kim Dotcom.
I guess the next step in this array of bullshit is for random folks to dress up like cops, secret service, airport authorities or any other scheme that fits the area, and detain people randomly and take their stuff. If enough people do this, then maybe people will remember why the fuck laws exist at all, and why the legal authorities have rules to follow as well. If we all allow for mere mankind to represent the universal authority (unquestionable authority; same authority that makes gravity a "law") then we're all doomed, as mankind is not fit for such authority.
I always wonder why articles like this are posted on slashdot. I mean, it's simply not reasonable to convey this ideology on a tech-savvy website just to have everyone point out that it's silly pseudoscience.
The general population of this type of website is going to bash anyone that agrees that spending a billion dollars on pseudoscience is "worth it", regardless of what the government has concluded. I seriously doubt that they started off like, "Ok guys, we're going to try this silly stuff out. Let's start with.... a billion dollars, and go from there." Then later once they have spent the money, "Ok guys, that was a waste of money. Let's all pack up and try to forget how silly we all were." Surely spending that kind of money on such a project had some merit, or it wouldn't have cost so much. Now, whether or not they proved that telepathy or anything like that exists is debatable. Perhaps they did find some interesting facts about the realms beyond the physical, but couldn't "make use" of it in any way that they were originally shooting for. Perhaps a lot of that research soon moved to another focus other than war strategies.
Once I was waiting for a flight in the Atalanta airport. I was walking around and eventually sat down at my terminal, where I discovered a MAC notebook (this was in 2008 or 2009 I think). No one was there to claim it, and I assumed that if I took it to the lost and found, then someone would take it. I was faced with someone else's loss, regardless it appeared. So I figured it was mine for the taking, and it was. So I put it in my bag with my other laptop. Now at this point, I felt bad, as if I should do whatever was in my power to get this back to the unlucky fool. So I was going to look in the thing and see if I could get enough info to figure out who's it was. I looked a little bit right there, but didn't conclude anything reliable. I put it back in my bag and would simply look more in depth later. About 10 minutes later, a girl came out of the terminal exit, with a desperate look on her face, and looking around the area where I was. I asked her if she was looking for a mac notebook, and she said, "yes!" I opened my bag and handed it to her. She gave me a look of disgust and hurried back to her plane, no "thank-you", nothing. She likely felt that I was in the wrong for attempting to "steal" it. I didn't care. She got her stuff back and that was what I wanted to happen.
...Is anyone out there in Denmark doing anything to protest this? I know that the Danes are not to be fucked with when it comes to crimes against humanity, but I wonder how much this matters to the general population. Sadly I suspect 'not much'. Solitary confinement is torture. Torture for a crime with no victim is out of line, and sends a message the someone is in a place of power that shouldn't be.
It might sound silly, but if you're not in Denmark, you can keep this guy in your thoughts. Picture him with a smile, and embrace him internally. It's all that we can do. If you're in Denmark, then protest this torture in whatever way you see fit.
I personally know 4 other people (including myself), almost the exact same scenario (not Doom, but other fun aspects of computing, as thought to be in the 90's). Had you seen the IT world (as it is today), you'd have been an idiot to get involved. At least that's what we all say.
Out of all the stupidity that has come along with this whole "delivery by drone" concept, why hasn't anyone thought of the pizza??!! One could open a business "The Drone Calzone" and rake in the dough (pun intended).
Imagine the world's surprise if India began charging the same hourly rates for it's workers as Western countries charge for theirs. So not only does it appear that Nokia used Indians for cheap labor, they're also trying to scam the government. The government of India is probably the most corrupt in the world (seriously, bribery is a part of the system there, but rather than call it "lobbying" they actually call it "bribery" and care not what anyone thinks about it), and are no one to fuck with.
I'm mostly with you. Honestly advertizing should have it's own channel or something, so that if people wanted it, then BAM there it is. If that were to happen, we must remember that things like most tv entertainment will no longer exist in the same 'state of things' as today - that includes foobaw (oh nos!)
Personally I'm fine with that, but so many people will be faced with the actuality of the void in their lives, and be forced to find another way to piss their lives away. Personally I'm fine with that, too. Maybe that's the zombies that usher in the new era.
Because otherwise I am still struggling to understand how Mars One would ever be financially viable.
Really, are you serious? They get funding from all over the place, and use it to develop "stuff for things" and end up living off it that money until the next go round. If all else fails, they sell their research (usually back to) to the military. It's all money in the end; that's what it's all about.
So many people that I know have enough money to pay their bills, and very little left over, and they tend to save that money for things like car/house problems. Also, so many people are switching from cable to Netflix for their entertainment (no advertising there that I've ever seen). I really wonder if advertising is still as effective as once thought. I know I mentally block it all out if it's on a site (slashdot gives you a choice if you're logged in, and I love that). I have never ever ever ever seen an advertisement and thought, "Holy shit, that's something that I should get." I mean, I did when I was a kid, but not since.
If I remember correctly, it wasn't just GM that had problems, it was just the only one that got bailed out. One day we heard that housing was a problem, and people's homes were being foreclosed on left and right. The next day we heard the GM suddenly needed $50-Billion.
It was done in the same manner in which 9/11 was done by terrorists named Al Qaeda, but then the US went and invaded Iraq and outed Saddam Hussein for WMDs that didn't exist.
So, we're wanting to teach all kids how to program. I wonder what this will do to the "hacker" community. This is a shit-storm waiting to happen. Between teachers not knowing jack about computers to the corporate infrastructure that will (attempt to) be laid down, this is just digging further into the can of worms that isn't working already.
I see someday a war of minds, maybe very near in the future. And interestingly enough, I think the farmers will win.

One step toward an open-source world. What an exciting idea! Imagine computers out there computing, with no license fees that seem to propagate.
You won't go to NZ because of trivial annoyances like that?
I for one feel that being stripped of all electric equipment without being told why or when I'll get it back is far from trivial.
There is no other country on earth that'll let you pass this sort of thing.
Apparently this guy went through at least 2 other countries without being bullied. One of them was America!

And there goes New Zealand off my list of optional places to live. Shit.

How do they prove that you know the entire password, or any part of it?

Yeah but can you break that down in orders of magnitude, as it relates to my daughter? That was really helpful in the xkcd.com strip.

I sleep really good at night.

Slashdot has turned into a TV series about the NSA. This is just a commercial break.

Canada has much more snow than the US, and yet the US produced a Snowden. Maybe Canada will produce a Chaude Journée.
