Would you hire a person found not guilty of child molestation to work in your daycare center? After all, he or she has been found legally innocent of the crime.
By that reasoning, you should hire people found guilty, since you seem to assume courts are by default wrong.
If you were in court, would you admit that you cheated on your wife a few times, knowing that everyone who considers dating you will google your name?
What if admitting the nature of your transgressions found you innocent of a different crime?
Actually, I wouldn't cheat in the first place if I didn't want to deal with the fallout. And, let's be serious, your wife could post that info just as easily. Or anyone else in that courtroom.
What would you do if you found arrest photographs of your child's teacher for being rip-roaringly drunk in college and peeing on a beach? What do you think the rest of the parents in your district would do to that teacher?
Same thing that happens to child sex offenders, only not as bad. But since you seem to hate them (or anyone who ever was accused of it), you seem to think they had it coming. But, hey, poor teacher.
I don't know about the US, but in the EU, you are "entitled to have the goods brought into conformity free of charge by repair or replacement" even if they aren't broken as such (i.e. dead).
The same argument can be said about any kind of identification method. Any form of ID can be forged, the documents presented to get one can be forged, so I don't really see the point in singling out SSL.
Heh. It's nice how you started off well, but at one point, jumped from national ID card to the Government controlling every single aspect of your life, without actually explaining why that would be so bad.
Are you retarded, my dear sir? If you look at the link you posted, a bit above, you have table of what values you can fit in those datatypes. Not hard to figure out. Creating a cluster is not something obvious? No, I guess it isn't. Maybe you should go RTFM or use a distribution that does that for you.
As for unsigned integers and you not being able to figure it out... Please stick to MySQL, thank you.
There's an addon in firefox that lets you enable flash on a per file basis. (I would say movie, but there is non movie flash crap)
Personally, I think it's better for a browser to have plugins to do this kind of stuff, than having it built in. Gives you more flexibility.
Hm, to directly deter is preventing that criminal from committing new offenses out of fear of punishment, as I see it. Because rehabilitation covers him doing it because he thinks it's right. Though, admittedly, the line is rather blurry. Anyway, my point was that when you have no money, you both directly and indirectly deter. Don't see why you list directly deter on the money side.
Actually, it should. Since as many people pointed out, k = 10^3. Not 2^10. Instead of defining kX as 10^3 X, you define it as "10^3 X, except if X is bytes, or bits. But not even then always, because we can never make up our minds" (see 1.44 floppies)
You mean to say you find that salient? One of the most superficial evaluation of anonymity I've ever seen. Also, I've skimmed his 'very popular blog', and I would have problems believing he actually has anything intelligent to say. (See the math problem, for example...)
So because there are issues with x64 on 2.6.23, everyone with x64 has to suffer? How hard would it have been to leave in x64 support with the caveat that it won't work on 2.6.23?
The difference between a kernel version and the architecture of your CPU is... well, it's easier to downgrade your kernel than install a new system.
I, personally, am also interested in the discussions on said topic, not only the news article. Well, sometimes. Depends on the story. But definitely in this case.
Actually, no. Fear of being caught and getting a low grade made me think twice before cheating in school. I couldn't care less if people knew I sucked at cheating. I admitted to that myself.:-)
Usage of money is an improper term. You're not using it, you're distributing it (if you're making counterfeit money). That is what leads to inflation, not its mere existence. There are billions upon billions of tons of hydrogen and helium in the Sun, but you don't see the price of it being as low as you'd expect. That's because it doesn't affect you, because you can't get to it. Same with music I illegally copied. If you can't get to it, you can't use it.
Making an exact replica of a 20 USD bill isn't illegal as such. Well, maybe, but still under copyright laws. Using it instead of real money is what you're hinting at. That, in your analogy would be selling counterfeit CDs. Which is not the point here.
However, that being said, I want to mention I'm not against copyright, just against saying copyright infringement is theft and/or equating number of copies not sold with losses. Yes, you lose money due to copyright infringement, but not 100% of it is 'loss'.
For example, I've not bought one copyrighted item in the past years without first 'trying it out' first. If I didn't like it, screw you. If it wasn't already available (at least in a preview, such as being able to skim a book in a library or a demo version available, or, alternatively, via some illegal means ), I just didn't bother with it. Though, I have to admit, I didn't buy all of what I tried and liked, so...

I'm sure most people would just accept it. :-)
So the end justifies the means?
That's wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_drinking_age

Actually, even if his example is wrong, there is a case where IDs were quite harmful. See the Rwandan Genocide.
Heh. It's nice how you started off well, but at one point, jumped from national ID card to the Government controlling every single aspect of your life, without actually explaining why that would be so bad.

Eh, while that may or may not be true, there are differences in the spectrum of the two kinds of light that are a tad harder to 'fake'.
I, personally, am also interested in the discussions on said topic, not only the news article. Well, sometimes. Depends on the story. But definitely in this case.
What if the creator of said Ferrari tells you to make your own copy? Since this is what happened here.
Or not? I can't get it to work over http for me, it just redirects me to the https version.
So... IBM is not a trademark? :-)
Actually, no. Fear of being caught and getting a low grade made me think twice before cheating in school. I couldn't care less if people knew I sucked at cheating. I admitted to that myself. :-)
I can, what? Distribute it? Yes. But I can distribute it even without downloading it illegally, so that's moot.
Usage of money is an improper term. You're not using it, you're distributing it (if you're making counterfeit money). That is what leads to inflation, not its mere existence.

Having an Apple product helps you secure you a sex partner, because it's easier to find a sex partner when you're gay, right?
My point exactly. Putting it in circulation. Not the act of copying and looking at it. :-)
As for the musical inflation, I must've missed the joke...
