No - the way society seems to be headed you will be thrown in jail for not complying with your mandatory test. After all causing a scene like that means that you must have something to hide. All they need to do is hold you on "suspicion of terrorism" and you're gone indefinitely. Is it 1984 yet?
It successfully discriminates between truth and lies in about two-thirds of cases
Yeah, it only detects when normal people are lying and it doesn't work at all when sociopaths, psychopaths and habitual liars are lying - because these people feel no shame when they lie or might even believe their lie to be true and thus don't have a vasomotor response. But sure, feel free to re-invent the polygraph. Only you are not addressing the basic flaw in designing the "lie detector machine": the people who are really good at lying are most likely the ones you want to catch, and by definition they are also the people you are not going to catch.
Academics can be so brilliant and so dumb at the same time. But hey I hear that if you measure people's skulls and classify their shapes into groups, you can also tell who the liars are. Give it a shot!
Post hoc reasoning - always a favorite of apologists. Meanwhile I'm sitting on quite a few hectares of coffee which last year got me $80 per hwt and now gets me $300 per hwt. No, I don't accept shitty weather as an excuse for everything being up in price. I do accept the willy-nilly printing of trillions of dollars as an excuse though. Occam's razor, and all that.
Nope. But nowadays no one has to shell out a couple thousand bucks for multi-port modem cards and multiple phone lines. Everyone is connected to a very fast network backbone with a transport protocol built in. Technology has evolved. What is stopping you from joining my private network on port 23? Or we could do it encrypted on any other number of ports. And how much does it cost me to host that? Almost nothing. What's more I can host it from almost anywhere in the world within a couple hours and without leaving my home.
As for preventing people from doing stuff, it depends on the owner of the board. You are free to set up your own area with your own rules.
No, but anybody who does any meaningful amount of trade with the US is having ACTA crammed down their throat as a condition of continuing to do to so.
This is true. Fortunately other countries are emerging (China) that are proving to be even better partners than the bankrupt US, and they don't attach so many strings to their trade agreements. I can't help but shake my head as the US truly is regulating itself into oblivion. Too bad, I used to like the US. Now I have to watch what I say because there is a small but real chance I can be placed on an arbitrary "no fly list" or even be bombed by a drone in violation of any national and international laws. The age of Big Brother really has begun. And we used to joke about the Soviets when I grew up in Fla in the 70's.
Ideas are not equivalent to property, and ideas cannot be either copyrighted or patented. Only the specific implementation of an idea can. It's people like you that only add to the confusion, especially when you have to call them "your honor".
Not to mention criminalizing it with multi-year sentences and multi-million (and even trillion) dollar damage claims. That only encourages lawyers to advocate perpetuating the insanity since after all, they get the biggest cut.
Gee I guess you're too young to remember the network of bulletin board systems (BBS) that existed 10 years or more before the internet became popular. When people want to communicate, they communicate.
Copyright violating sites are just as illegal, so what's the problem?
Criminal law vs civil law? Believe it or not you can't have your neighbor arrested for putting up a fence that encroaches on your property without your permission. Not every country in the world has criminalized copyright infringement.
That's easy: the Fed is the one doing all the buying. Don't believe me? Look it up. The biggest owner of US debt is the US government. China is merely the largest FOREIGN owner. The Fed obviously don't care about the yield - in fact they want a low yield to give the illusion of strength. Next question?
Installed an H-80 in a build I just made for my dad. They don't make the H-70 anymore. The H-80 is kinda cute and even better. The manual sucks though.
Just like drag racers - exactly how practical are they to get to and from work? I want a reasonably fast reliable chip that will last me the 5 years or so till my next upgrade, not something I can run at 8GHz on liquid nitrogen for maybe an hour before the chip dies from thermal stress.
Middle-men are price takers, not price makers. As such they don't "inflate" or "deflate" stock prices but rather stabilize them because of the law of large numbers and central tendency. If you are making most of the trades, chances are that you are going to be making them around the middle of the spread. You do not cause price shifts, however, because you are adding to supply just as much as you are adding to demand. The price shifts are done by buyers entering the market and sellers exiting the market. I don't care how many times per second you roll over a block of 100 shares, it will not impact the effect of a bank or mutual fund dumping 750,000 shares on the market over the next 2 hours.
The basic "hammer" in every scientists tool-chest. It allows you to see things as they are and simply not give a shit about what anyone "thinks", no matter how many letters they have after their names. Even Nobel prize winners have said some pretty amazingly false things. It's important to focus on where they were right.
You have obviously never traded. There's a buyer - but he's only willing to pay $19.73 for the stock. There's a seller, but he wants $19.76 for the stock. They will sit there all day on opposite sides of the spread. The High frequency trader comes along and says "I feel like buying stock X today up until $20". So the computer is switched on and blam, the seller just sold his stock for $19.76. The buyer sees the price moving away from him and gets desperate because he wants in on the deal. So he buys at the new price - $19.78 (the HFT has already bought all the stock below that). The HFT keeps buying because he's still under $20. Others see the price going up and want in on the action, increasing demand and pushing the price up further. The HFT doesn't care anymore because he's already sitting on a pile of stock that's making profit. The price hits $20.03 and boom, the HFT just dumped 50,000 shares at $20. Everyone panics, the price falls to $19.54, the greedy buyers who were late to the game are holding on to a loss and start to liquidate at a loss (or not), and the game starts again, 5 minutes later.
But it all started because someone decided to get the ball rolling. That is called liquidity. Without liquidity the buyer would sit on one side and the seller would sit on another side all day long, and no stock would get traded. If someone has stock for sale -presumably their goal is to sell it. Likewise for the buyer. Therefore the HFT middle-man is helping both parties achieve their goal. Just because you click sell does not mean your stock will get sold. Unless someone is willing to do the trade with you and assume the risk.

That's why most slashdotters never bother with TFA.
Not to mention tuition.
Yup, so I'll do the grunt work on intel's dime, and when I make a discovery I will wait a year or so later and patent my own invention.
Surprisingly unproductive yet very expensive research coming from these universities.

Also, do you feel that that scaled well?

Supermarkets have also been asked to stop selling food to criminals.
Do you honestly think that Google would just abandon their second largest market area?
If the cost of doing business there exceeds the revenue generated, they will drop it like a hot potato. So the answer is: YES.

It works in the other direction too.

Not sure what the discussion of climate science has to do with the discovery of a diamond planet,
It's called "trolling".
They pay a lot of income tax, do they?
it has population growth
Only if you count your illegal immigrants, hombre.
