(a) A person commits an offense if the person knowingly accesses a computer, computer network, or computer system without the effective consent of the owner.
IANAL, but could broadcasting the signal of n unsecured network into my house be considered "effective consent" to use the signal?
We're not going to equip [the PS3 with] a HDD by default, because no matter how much [capacity] we put in it, it won't be enough.
I think what he really meant to say was:
We're not going to equip [the PS3 with] a HDD by default, because no matter how much [money we make on the PS3] it won't be enough [when we can make a bit more by milking extra money out of customers for a HDD]
2).. if the military is keeping people in prison without being sure if they are guilty or innocent.. at least they shouldn't torture or abuse or traumatize them..cause it may be being done to an innocent person..which is plain wrong any way you slice it.. if you are OK with innocent being tortured.. how would u feel if it was someone you really cared about?
Are you implying that it's ok to torture the guilty? I'd like to think it was just sloppy wording on your part, but one never knows.
Google once per day; from when I wake up to when I go to sleep
You sleep? I don't have time for such things, as I need to use google instead, twenty four hours per day. So clearly, I am the true google lover. Hire me!
There was plenty of time to shoot down planes on 9/11 and yet fighters weren't scrambled until 40 minutes later, and then only flew near at 25% of their maximum speed.
Maybe if "My Pet Goat" wasn't such a gripping tale, the president could have torn himself away from the book and started making the tough decisions necessary in a national crisis.
That's because the current crop of academics and artists hate transcendence just as much, love arbitrary power just as much, want to throw off individual moral constraints just as much, and allow race to define character just as much as the early fascists
Corporations bottom line is best served by providing customers with products better than the competition.
Which is why McDonalds has the best hamburgers you'll ever taste, WalMart sells the highest quality merchandise, and Microsoft Windows is every geek's favorite OS.
Unfortunately, "better" rarely enters into the equation, when you factor in "cheap" and "easy." It's a lot easier to serve the bottom line by selling immense quantities of total crap for cheap.
Now the part I've never completely understood is that a 16 year old can sell cigarettes, and an 18 year old can transport alcohol, but neither can purchase said the respective products.
In Indiana, if I want to buy beer or wine at the grocery store, the 16 year old working the register isn't allowed to scan the alcoholic beverage... they have to call a manager.
I really don't see how preventing them from touching the bottle for 1 second while they move it 6 inches is accomplishing much, but I'm not a lawmaker.

Planet Reagan
*shiver*
Nah, they'd stick to naming planets after gods...
Planet Jesus.
awesome idea, but we need a catchy name for them...
How about Robo-Cops?
(/!\ /!\ mind you I read Slashot

=> no muscles )
Yeah, but check out those boobs.
It's the most popular site for older guys trying to get younger high school girls.
How's that been working out for you?
The first line of the article in your link is:
"Bush administration officials told Fox News that mustard gas (search) was also recently discovered."
Oh, the Bush administration officials said it was true? Please excuse me as I piss myself laughing.

Even I, white-bread all-American dude that I am, use a quarter-kilo of the stuff a year.
Kilo?!? KILO!?!?
what kind of white-bread all-American are you?
POUNDS, man! Pounds!

Methinks your outlook on humanity is a bit too optimistic. PS: profit = prosperity = better lives for everyone
Methinks your outlook on profit is a bit too optimistic as well. PS: profit for some = prosperity for some != better lives for everyone.
it's really hard to find someone on the hill that believes the same things I believe in that's not an asshole.
I'd be happy to find someone on the hill who believed in that stuff even if they are an asshole.

you just ruined it, dude.
I'm sure you meant to say:
You failed it, you insensitive clod.

(looks for a spot on the horse carcass to beat)
It should, because the richer they get, the richer we get.
I'd say that at least in part depends on your definition of "we"

I blame the authors.
Militant Muslims versus Crusading Christians
Medieval: Total War was a pretty good game for that.
Here in the UK if you say "I don't know how fast I was going" you are opening yourself up for a charge of "driving without due care and attention".
How about if you say "yes, I know how fast I was going, and no, I'm not going to tell you."
If you think being asked for a fingerprint is bad, try borrowing a book from me sometime.
Let me guess.. you ask for the whole finger?
However, the fact of the matter is than everyone knows this already.
Didn't the tobacco companies try to use that as a defense? I don't think it worked out so well for them.

Who are these academics and artists?
I for one would spend my free time sitting in the park looking out for gyrating youths
There's gotta be an inappropriate joke in there somewhere...
I'd settle for a death star.
I'd settle for Padme Amidala and some hot grits.
What about Mexico, whose official name is Estados Unidos Mexicanos
Does that mean we can call them USians?
