Well, it's not necesarily about deterrence. It's about accountability and keeping a criminal from doing the same thing again. That shouldn't be that hard to figure out.
"The presence of water on Mars in a geologic sense (as in what is needed to produce gypsum)..."
It would be terribly significant. Then if we found gypsum we would have a pretty good idea that drywall once existed, and of course finding the buildings would only be only a matter of time.
Why is it that when CEOs are payed ridiculous compensation packages people say that "to attract the best talent you have to pay," but when it comes to teachers people say "they should be doing it for the love of it, not the money."
Revolution should be an option, but it should always be the last option. The problem with responding drastically is that the people who are abusing the power to begin with will only abuse it more to counter what they see as a threat. The cycle feeds itself.
That's why violence is such a lousy idea. Sure, it may sound gratifying to give the bastards what they deserve, but the bastards will always come back with even more violence.

Actually, no. I have plenty of mundane things to bring me down already. It's the end of cool as far as I'm concerned.
Common sense and reason have nothing to do with it. it is the law that if you are in public you are fair game for non-commercial photography.
What about when they ask for Slashdot account info? You may not think you're participating in social media, but you are.
"You will find that at a minimum 70%-80% grew up in poor, broken homes with dysfunctional families."
There's another possible reason for that. They're the ones who can't afford spiffy lawyers.

This is my favorite post of the day.
Yeah, but the only pattern he knows is producer-consumer.
" The headline is a fair summery."
And thus now is the winter of our discontent.
Thank you for reinforcing my point.
"Don't be stupid. Don't drive these companies away."
But is the alternative to let these companies be the de facto rulers, dictating their own terms?

Well, your "take" is incorrect.

I wanted to mod this but there is no "ew, gross" option.
"Having your computer have a globally routable IP address is a good thing, not a bad thing..."
Not from a security perspective.
And cue all the idiots making ad hominem attacks on anyone who uses an Apple product.
"It is widely known that an observer measuring the speed of an object passing by, measures not its actual linear velocity by the angular one."
I would have found him guilty based on that sentence alone and fined him for gratuitous use of a comma and a blatant misspelling.
They're disabling applets, not Java. That would be like prompting if you wanted to open a recently downloaded ps file in your analogy.

Yep. You would think that it would be so blindingly obvious that we would never have gotten to this point.
Monsanto is about to realize a dream: The absolute ownership of the food supply.
They also have something else in common with AskSanta.com in that there is no Allah, either.
"...which is probably because the population is less dense."
I really doubt that!
Not only that, but it's meanIngless since everyone holds the DHS in contempt.
Ever since I had a lung removed I cut my smoking in half.
