If they had waited for him to go away naturally, then asked the oher person, that might be ok (and in accordance woth the general concept). But in this case, he "went away" because they arrested him.
There's an abuse of power there -- they can take him away so he's not there, then gain entrance because he's no longer there to object?
Mobile versions of web sites that "helpfully" add an overlay that reappears every time you scroll, blocking up to 40% of scarce real estate, which you cannot close, or piece of shit mobile sites like Washington Post that put up a smaller circle right in the middle of the fucking text, these programmers, who would be ashamed to show their face in 1978, should have their mother fucking brains splattered against a wall.
Censorship is typically used by the powerful to maintain their power. This is no different in a democracy -- the power hungry simply jump through an additional hoop of stirring up many people to join in the censorship. These people happily re-elect said censor.
If this does not highlight the difference between freedom and democracy for those of you who think mass approval is the necessary and sufficient, indeed only, justification for wielding power, I don't know what will.
This clod is just upset they're doing it themselves instead of participating in the meme to have government provide the mass transit, when it magically becomes holy and good because the clod says so.
These stories of journals being trolled are on the increase. I wonder how long until the first fake paper is published about fake papers being published.
I remember the first Colecovision emulator some guy made -- he had a bitch of a time because one of the chips was analog and it's kind of hard to get the CPU cycles for near-infinite speed.
Each stolen phone that they make the victim pay to replace or make them eat the remaining contract with no phone. that gets hooked back up to their network should gain them a fine and jail time for participating in the laundering of stolen goods.
That's exactly what's going on -- they are dragging ass because they profit, knowingly and deliberately, from participating in this cycle. Some interstate criminal conspiracy charges on executives would also be welcome.
Your basic service pay will be carved up among a bunch of web sites you may not even want.
Comcast built roads to attach to other roads. Now not only do they charge you, but they charge the store you go to, or else a package shipped "might get broken, ya know?"
Microsoft was just done with their whole COM interface stuff, and IBrowser or whatever was their flagship example of being able to plug and play a browser at the deep guts level. A high-level app wrapper was nothing.
Now if government should be on the business of making them remove it is another issue. Are you justified in lying to people wielding power they shouldn't?

There is no such thing as free will in the old philosophical sense. There is just determinism with (potentially) true quantum randomness. The latter could be based on a deeper determinism, but that is exactly the kind of "reality" Einstein didn't want to gove up on -- real things out there with real, measurable properties. Quantum mechanics based on an even deeper determinism would doubly violate this principle by shoving the "real things" not one but two levels deeper from Einstein's real objects like particles.
In a couple of hundred we'll be dead or gods, either way directly by our own hand. I am unconcerned about sea rises over hundreds of years, much less downstream extinctions over thousands to tens of thousands of years.
And we survived ice ages over those periods of time, with far greater disruptions. Heck, just the difference in technology levels between now and a hundred fifty years ago vastly outweighs these differences, as far as quality and length of life are concerned. Extinction? We're on the brink of species resurrection right now.
I'll take whatever and whatever + 200 years of technological advancement over, say, just 100 years' (over the course of 200 growth-slowed years) worth and a dandy green planet any day. And so should you...if quality and length of life are your concern, which is the professed driver behind most people's politics.

The US dollar is worth anywhere from 1/29th to 1/539th of what it originally was worth after the Revolutionary War, so your statement is inane.
Go for it. Strap that JATO unit to Wile E. Coy-US-Economy's back as he already plunges towards the ground.

Biggest dose did nothing? Did your study have a placebo group that you might have been in?
There's no reason to immediately repair it, though you could, of course, and land it by computer, which it's fully capable of.
That assumes you have the repair technique well-designed by the time the rescue launches.
Better to have a later mission come back and fix it, then land by computer.

I do believe that's been the plan for 70 uears now. Also, a hex or octo rotor thing so several engines can go out and it still make a safe landing.
Let's get a move on.

On the contrary, libertarians rely heavily on authorizing government to do certain things...like deal with thefts.
Of course, in this case, tracking is almost impossible by design, so it's like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Yeah he's not against the fracking (unless he's doing this in a deliberately roundabout way) but it's definitely a. two-faced NIMBY action.

The NSA...asked other governments without First Amendment protections to prosecute journalists?
Ummm, I want someone to go to jail, but it sure as hell ain't journalists.
Well explodes, big deal. Oh wait, it's a fracking well! Alert the media and Slashdot editors!
