Well that's all fine and good, but not everyone feels as you do. I am NOT willing to accept even a tiny probability of being one of the sacrificial lambs, and more importantly I'm not willing to accept that tiny probably for my children either. Monetary compensation is not a perfect solution, but what you typically see when someone is released after a long stretch of unjust imprisonment is that they are not bitter at all. But the bitterness of the family who has a family member unjustly executed is eternal. The two situations are not comparable at all.
What are the implications of this for the while Nikon/Microsoft Android tax situation. Isn't Android based on Linux, or is Microsoft specifically targeting parts of it that are not from Linux to dodge IBM's wrath?
I live in Tennessee. I read my 8 year old Dawkin's "Magic of Reality" cover to cover. He's straightening out his class mates. There are a few educated people in Tennessee. The problems come when we get distracted by things like Slashdot and ignore local politics.
1000 whole sites. Too bad the brain has something like 100 trillion synapses. So that means each site contains an average of about 100 billion synapses. I want a higher resolution map.
Require relief wells to be in place before production begins on future wells. Start drilling relief wells now for any existing wells that might ever need them.
Call me Captain Obvious, but given the loss risk, the time it takes to drill relief wells, and the lack of other working options, wouldn't it make sense to require that relief wells be in place *before* production begins on new wells in the future?
Unfortunately this is not always true. I worked in a computing lab at the University of Tennessee in the 90's. We had a girl who came in to do backups every evening. She put in her notice one day, served it out, still making the backups. After she left, she logged in with the still-unchanged root password and trashed our systems. And it turned out the last few "backups" she made were blank. I guess she was pissed about something; we never firgured out what.
I guess to "trip my essential liberty flag" as you say, they would have to do something unreasonable, like demand proof of ownership of items I had with me when I was on the public street. I figure anything that happens before I leave the store is part of the transaction.
I must say I have a hard time sympathizing here. This falls under the heading of something my old boss used to refer to as "you'd be right, but you'd be dead". The usual analogy was crossing at a crosswalk in front of an oncoming truck; you're be right but you'd be dead. Is it really an essential liberty to not have to show your receipt as you exit a store? I think not. Is it a currently granted liberty according to the law? It would appear so. Am I going to loose sleep over trying to retain this liberty? Nope, sorry. Bigger fish to fry.
I don't see how anyone can claim that the world is more violent/less tolerant than it used to be. These days if 10 people die its news. 50 years ago 10,000 could die without making headlines. Millions died in the world wars. What we see today is NOTHING by comparison.
This is an excellent approach if the game company
is going to maintain its own servers, but if
the player have control of the servers many if
not most of them will get hacked eventually.
A lot of game companies I've talked to don't want
to do thing this way because of the expense of
running their own servers. They would rather
do peer-to-peer games so they don't have to.

As far as I can see it is NOT fixed. It's just that it hasn't finished flagging all the different versions that were posted to different channels.
If there were actually a God, Theology would be science.

I think hard drives should be considered as an extension of your brain, and thus as protected as the content of your brain.
$9.7 million per meter. And I thought stretch SUV's were expensive.
Meanwhile, cars put something like 5,000 metric tons of carbon per year into the air.
How about we take over the government and make the job of cops and lawyers be getting the truth, not getting a conviction.

Killing people is OK as long as you use cool technology to do it.
