Not so true, you can start to eliminate vectors as you gain more facts.
lets say you own a business and one day you come in and cash is missing. There are no signs of forced entry (no broken windows no kicked in doors), the only thing disturbed is the cash drawer and the tape from the security camera is missing. You can more or less eliminate a random buglery and focus on people with a working knowledge of your operations such as employess.
In criminology (my degree) it is called "aging out"
The older you get the less likely you are to comit a crime. Why it is is not so clear, one theroy says it is because you have more to lose (money, freedom etc) another says you have more reason to stay out of jail (children wife/husband etc), there are other reasons why this might happen but these are the two I remeber.
Living and working in the D.C. area I have seen a few gas stations with little LCD screens at the pumps. Sadly they don't seem to play the news, I've only seen sports highlights.
It has the same effect on me as when I go to the john and someone leaves a newpaper behiind, I'm happy until I see it's the sports page...
In my classical mythology/literature class we learned there are 7 stories. I am not going to go through my old books to find the reference, but yes, as far as I know you are right.
Man you going to catch flack for that post here... Wow. But to all the people who think of reasons why he's wrong, the fact is no one is forcing you to pirate software. If you don't want to pay for it don't use it, and if you do then be prepaired for the fact you might get caught.
You can make a moral dillema for cases like murder and theft, and when you go to court you can use them as mitigating circumstances, such as my husband beat me and I was in fear of my life so I shot him as he slept, or my children were starving so I had to steel a loaf of bread. Will it get you off scott free, who knows thats for a judge and jury to decide. I don't see how you can have a mitigating ccircumstance for pirating software.
This was a toss up. Mod your post down or point out why you I think you might be wrong. Obviously I chose the later. Have you ever considered that perhaps you're charging too much for your software I don't think it matters how much some people charge for software, some people will refuse to actually spend money on it, this actually goes for persons and companies. So it's not an issue of not being able to afford it, it's wanting something for nothing, which is a very American attitude. (I'm American so don't get upset, it's true)
Your second point was if you take a hostile view of your customers, they will respond in kind I think companies have a legitimate right to protect themselves from theft, I don't think that goes so far as to saying they should be able to wipe your home directory.
people wont pay for crap if you are using crap as an synonim for anything as in I don't want to do crap today yes your right, some people wont pay for anything. I know this was not what you ment you ment people wont pay for lousy software which is true, many people wont pay for good software either...
As a criminology student, we went to a state prison in Fl. A muscular inmate said something to the extent of "In jail you don't have to worry about becoming gay, the other inmates make that choice for you"
It is a large problem in institutions, both men's and women's, although in women's prisons they often tend to form whole families, with two taking on the role of parents and other taking of the role of children. It was really fascinating to study.

using GPS would be more akin to say aparental moderating device on yoru pc that lets you know what yoru children are doing online or if they say thay are going to billy's house, calling billy's mom and making sure they are there.
Whose is more of a fool the parent who tries or the parent who do nothing?
I didn't say this was an end all be all of parenting or stoping them from doing stupid things. I'm just saying this can be used as part of parenting....
I don't know if you should ever think that your parenting skills are so great that there is no way that your child would do something that you wouldn't approve of, something that they would lie about.
Just because they can drive doesn't mean they still aren't children, in some ways. Sometimes they will do things that are wrong, or that you as a parent do not approve of. And what's worse, you catching them doing it the first time or them doing it and thinking they can get away with it? You might find out you might not, they might only do something like that once or they might starting doing it over and over again. I'd rather nip it in the bud. Coming up in the generation that didn't have cell phones as a minor I think they are a great way to keep tabs on your child. No more of the excuses that my friends uses, "I couldn't find a payphone", "I didn't have change" etc. If your not planning on keeping your child lock in the room until they are 18 you'll have to let them go out on there own sooner or later, if nothing less than to see if they can handle flying on their own, and as a parent your going to still have to make sure they are acting in the manor that you want them to act in.
I knew parents that went through their child's stuff, as a child I thought it was wrong. I don't know if my parents did because I didn't have things that my parents thought were wrong (drugs etc) to get busted on. I kind of hope they did in retrospect, and I will probably do it to mine.
I don't want to be like those parents who say "oh my child is so great, he never lies to me" or think that I'm a great parent and I raised my child to never do anything wrong, he out with his friends I can relax he would never do anything wrong, not my little angle. You have to keep tabs on your child while letting them go off on there own it's part of letting them grow up. I don't think that's lazy, I thinks that's being very active as a parent.
Would it even depend if you owned the car. If your the childs gaurdian and the child is a minor....
If you can be held responcible for crimes they comit in some jurisdictions, such as vandelism, I would imagine you should be able to install a tracking device....
I'm sure the ACLU has problems with this, but don't they always.
Once again in TFA they, the DOE, will be able to detect tampering.
Besides even if TFA didn't mention it, don't you think that they already thought of situations like this. Do you really think that if they start using these there just going to start tossisng about like empty cans on teh side of the road?/shakes his head an walks away.
The building at the Cape were only designed to with stand winds of apx. 110 mph, this hurricane out there is what 145+, I lived maybe 20 min north of the cape (Could watch the launches out my living room window) and we never got the big hurricanes some how we've been very lucky, they'd go north or south but they never came at us.
To my knowledge Volusia and Brevard county have never been hit by a storm like this, at least not in the last 50+ years. I heard through my mother who still lives in the area that the newscasters say that this is a 100 years storm for that area.
IMHO I honestly can't see building like the VAB surviving a storm like this....

I don't know the answer to your question but I can give you this question. "What about all the odd atomic number elements."
