"Here son, I know you're only 2 years old but I need you to sign this waiver allowing me to upload your images and also grant me a perpetual, irrevocable, unlimited, worldwide, fully paid/sublicensable license to use, copy, perform, display, distribute, and make derivative works from this content."
Then let's call them "patients." This should help change prisons from places of incarceration to places of healing.
Then let's call slaves "involuntarily-sourced happy helpers". This should help make the idea of slavery more acceptable to the masses.
Seriously, inmates are not "patients". Patients undergo a course of therapy, which is not at all what happens in prison. I'd be happy if prisons would institute some serious rehabilitation protocols or programs designed to help inmates instead of just warehousing them, but until they do then the inmates are just that, inmates.
Why shouldn't prisons be paid by how well they rehabilitate their clients?
1) They aren't "clients". They're inmates. A client is someone who pays a professional for a service. An inmate is someone we pay to have incarcerated. They use two different words because those are two different things.
2) The other reason is because prisons aren't for rehabilitating people anymore, no matter what the "Welcome To Prison" brochure says.
Seriously, they don't give a shit about rehabilitating anyone, they just want to warehouse people and keep them off the streets. Anyone that tells you different is simply bullshitting you. Yes, there are exceptions, but that's what they are: exceptions.
Hell, I don't know. But he had apparently done a bunch of research and had come to the conclusion that what he was doing was legal, albeit somewhat unorthodox.
And for all I know, he may have been correct, but it didn't stop the feds from throwing him in prison for 20 years. Which is insane when you think about it, because you can rape a child or murder someone and you won't get 20 years.
It's a bad sign that people are buying up and hoarding.22 rounds.
I know...a friend of mine and I have been looking for months and months. Every store around is sold out all the time. It comes in and it's instantly bought up.
Yeah, you can make/reload all the other useful calibers but there doesn't seem to be a practical way to make or reload.22 ammo. The cartridge case of rimfire ammo is basically damaged by the act of firing it but if there was a way to do it...
Hmmmm, perhaps I read it wrong, but it seemed to me to that they were discontinuing one service and transitioning (read: forcing) people to their app-based service. (??)
"Switch to a modern email client or lose access to any Microsoft email accounts they have," reports InfoWorld.
and
In a Thursday blog post, Microsoft informed users of their Windows Live Mail software that "the time has come for you to upgrade to a new email application."
and
and recommending users switch to the Mail app on Windows
Another example of Microsoft moving relentlessly towards their wet dream of a walled garden.
This is useless bullshit- there is NO need to move to a mail app on Windows just to send and receive mail.
This is one of the most basic functions of the internet, and there are loads of full-featured webmail clients that work just fine, but that's not restrictive enough for Microsoft- they're going to insist that all your mail gets funneled through them so they can exercise even more control.
Sorry Microsoft, I won't be playing along with your horsecrap.
They say that users "will not be able to send or receive Outlook.com email from Windows Live Mail 2012 after your account is upgraded."
What kind of "upgrade" locks you out of your mail and restricts your ability to send and receive on the platform of your choice? A Microsoft "upgrade", of course!
"...pot makes one more aggressive for a short time immediately after consuming/smoking."
I call bullshit. After consuming pot in multiple ways with hundreds of other people in all kinds of situations for over 40 years, I've never seen this "effect", period.
I no longer smoke or consume pot, but I repeat: I have never, ever seen anyone become more aggressive after using it, immediately or otherwise.
This is just another way to isolate inmates and dehumanize them so they have fewer resources and less meaningful, human contact. This is how they strip a person of every last vestige of their humanity.
I understand that for long-distance scenarios this video-visitation could be a good thing, but to prevent people from meeting in person is wrong and abusive.
Welcome to the Prison Industrial Complex, where you're not an inmate, you're a profit-center. Heaven forbid they use Skype, which actually works- no, lets use our proprietary "solution" that's not worth a shit and doesn't actually work. Because if we used Skype we couldn't charge an arm and a leg for our "service".
Some things should not be run for profit, including schools, police services, hospitals, and prisons.
You'll just have to pardon me for pointing out the fact that most people don't know how to write an article or summary correctly, and for pointing out that journalistic standards apply even if people like you feel they shouldn't.
I sincerely hope this micro-aggression hasn't triggered you or violated your safe space.

Then they fired the copy editors. The result was apparent. But they didn't lose audience. So that's what you get.
No, it's not what I get. What I get is confirmation that some people are simply illiterate fools who wouldn't know quality writing if they were hunted down and beaten to death with a style guide.
Here's what Adblock shows me for this page. Yeah, some of it is totally innocent, but the rest of it? Why do all of these things need to be loading? (I removed a lot of extra crap that seemed benign to get by the "you need more characters in your message" filter.)
And who thinks that gstatic.com isn't using their Google Plus icone (gplus-16.png) as a beacon?
by showing you the version of the shows with the ads you are most susceptible to.
Except I use Adblock, so I never see your ads, not on Youtube and not here and not anywhere else either.
If Netflix tries to show me an ad, I just turn the sound down and look out the window at the trees and birds for a few moments. It's a nicer view than your ad. And when I look back after a few moments, your ad is gone.
Short answer: Yes, of course you should expect tracking. I mean, who the fuck do you think you are? Now be quiet and let them monetize your clickstream, bitch.
"create a holistic view of your business by collecting, analyzing and reporting all customer interactions. To derive the most actionable insights, you must link your customers' actions with who they are and what their interests are. Janrain bridges the gap by connecting demographic and psychographic data, collected through traditional and social login, with Adobe's behavioral data, so you understand the whole customer journey."
I don't know what that means, and honestly I'm not sure that it really means anything. It seems that they're claiming that their data-driven insights will allow you to convince people to buy more shit, but somehow, I doubt it really works.
... and yes I know the difference between WWW and internet.
Sonny, when I started out on "the web", it was on ARPANET, after access to it was expanded in 1981. You were probably still being potty-trained at the time.
Before that I had the pleasure of unboxing brand my own brand new Atari 400 in 1978, and later I owned TRS-80's and Apple ][ machines. I was using PUT and GET on a NeXT machine while you were in elementary school. So if you don't mind, please get the fuck off my lawn.:)

I guess you are not on twitter either but know everything about twitter, too!:D
Nope, I'm not on twitter, because 1) people like you are on twitter, and 2) I have other stuff I'd rather be doing.
If you want to use twitter (the equivalent of throwing confetti on the internet) be my guest.

Remember when people said that MS missed the mobile revolution and was going to die. Good times.
How's that Windows Phone thing workin' out for ya?
Did they suppress news about Bernie Sanders? Because he was ignored wholesale by the media.
Sanders won nearly every poll, and yet the media claims Hillary won, even when the poll on their own pages show Sanders winning by a mile.
"... unveiled a "frictionless", artificially intelligent software"
What does "frictionless" mean in this context?
"Here son, I know you're only 2 years old but I need you to sign this waiver allowing me to upload your images and also grant me a perpetual, irrevocable, unlimited, worldwide, fully paid/sublicensable license to use, copy, perform, display, distribute, and make derivative works from this content."
Yes, but if we only focus on what prisons are and not on what we want them to be, there's never going to be any progress.
I agree. What's your point?
Are they not merciful? All hail Microsoft!!

Hell, I don't know. But he had apparently done a bunch of research and had come to the conclusion that what he was doing was legal, albeit somewhat unorthodox.

It's a bad sign that people are buying up and hoarding .22 rounds.
I know...a friend of mine and I have been looking for months and months. Every store around is sold out all the time. It comes in and it's instantly bought up.
.22 rounds cost next to nothing. Why bother?
Because they're next to impossible to find around here.
Learn to make your own ammo.
I only wish there was a way to make/reload .22.
Yeah, you can make/reload all the other useful calibers but there doesn't seem to be a practical way to make or reload .22 ammo. The cartridge case of rimfire ammo is basically damaged by the act of firing it but if there was a way to do it...
We all know that only terrorists and commies wanna see what's goin' on deep in the hallowed halls of our sacred legal system!!

More than 5, I suspect.

Illiterates like me are writing the journalism that you read on the Internet.
Well, that would explain why there's been such a precipitous drop in the overall quality of reporting.
So you are not on facebook, but know everything about my facebook friends.
What facebook "friends"?

When I was in school there was not even an internet
Same here. So what? When I started school, Kevlar, acrylic paint, and soft contact lenses hadn't been invented yet. There were no TouchTone© phones. Man hadn't walked on the Moon. So fucking what?
