Ignorance may be annoying, but it doesn't mean someone "deserves" any misfortune.
Does that mean that no one deserves fortune either? Or if people deserve things because of actions they take, if someone deserves fortune because they worked hard, doesn't that suggest that the lazy and ignorant deserve misfortune?

What?? Since when does linux require a HTML renderer? Have you told my netgear router that?
No one has argued that it won't be detrimental to the business of the paper. Just like if the paper had spent money on selling water for $100 a gallon and other people started selling water for much cheaper would be detrimental to their business. The laws shouldn't not exist to simply ensure someone's failing business model.
There is a very good reason you cannot copyright facts. Just get in line over there with the cooper, blacksmith and candlestick maker and accept your fate.
Good luck legislating people to not be assholes. So when the doctor says "Please go fuck yourself" you'll be fine with it? Assholes are assholes, and making them write please isn't going to solve the problem.
Why should i help you? The whole point of civil liberties is that they protect you from the boogie-monster du jour.
Anytime i see an argument start with "we need X or we won't be able to catch bad guys", I know right away that X is something that violates civil liberties. It's a logical fallacy: argument from ignorance/lack of imagination, and you can use it to justify ANYTHING.
How exactly is a company going to get a court order despite there being no crime and no probably cause? In the US (ie: outside of the UK), there is no law about providing encryption keys.
Even if would get a court order, that doesn't mean they'd get the password to the real data partition and not the dummy partition.
And if you are saying 20% that means 1 in every 5 people are unemployed. So if you are talking about couples, you need 2 people unemployed for every 5 couples.
Unless you only know x * 2.5 couples where x is your claimed number of people unemployed, then your personal experience still doesn't back up your assertion.
Full Disk Encryption protects against THEFT, not loss/security breaches.
I agree with everything and you probably already know this, but i'll add to the discussion by saying, even with full disk encryption there are ways to make it safer like logging off so keys are cleaned from memory. the cold boot attack needs the keys in memory to recover them later, but smart software will wipe them from memory before shutting down.
That's the worst idea ever. I don't want a pay cut because i can only get paid based on how many years i've served. When all of the ITT grads get paid the same as i do because they have X years of experience, i'll know i'm in hell.
Really dumb old guy has 20 years experience (in crappy jobs) so he should obviously get paid more than a superstar with 10 years of experience. That's why a union is an awful idea.
We live in a country where some cities are topping 20% unemployment, much of it middle-class white-collar jobs.
That's not true. Please post your data and define "much" so when you find under 4% unemployment for white collar jobs you can't say that it is much of the 20% that made up.
Never use personal equipment at work. They have every right to fully review your equipment at any time to decide if their data is on your person equipment.
How exactly are they going to fully review my equipment if i have my own encrypted file systems? Good luck.
It's a list of bad evidence used against DDT. It's not a list of support showing DDT to be harmless. I'm waiting for his next page about how agent orange is actually also a good organophosphate and just got a bad rap because it was used it vietnam.
Does he have one article that is for making any chemical illegal? Under cap and trade he says that CO2 is not a pollutant.
The point is that DDT harms people more than helps in non-malaria countries.
Without gov't to stop DDT spraying 3rd parties can get harmed. There is no way to prevent DDT from wiping out populations of animals without gov't regulation, just like i can't fish up mercury free Tuna. Private industry hasn't solved that problem.
You mean coverage that has a lifetime cap and that you can get dropped (recision) if you ever need to claim on it? They testified in congress that they drop 0.5% of their customers thinking that it is a low number. But you know they only drop from the top 5% that claim more than they are going to pay in. So that's 10% a year of the really sick people getting dropped every year.
I wouldn't call it heartless.;) I think it was heartless to be there at all, since still don't understand what we are "spending" lives to achieve. But since we are there, the realities of war dictate that there will be casualties.
"Once DoD went to the extent of saying, 'Soldiers are dying,'
This is such a stupid quote by the DoD. If they don't want soldiers to die, pull them all out of Iraq. They goal has never been to have no soldiers die, because you can't go to war unless you are ready to lose soldiers. The question should always be are those soldiers' deaths being "spent" on achieving the current military goal.
It's never a question of soldiers dying, it's a question of HOW many soldiers are dying to achieve a specific aim. Saving tens of soldiers' lives now might have cost them hundreds of lives later.

So they are making a loud case for changing copyright law? Because that is the only thing that is going to happen if they enforce this.
What loss of sales? Are you only allowed to read books once in Europe? You can't pass them to someone else?

They didn't pass false data. They passed valid data which is why it returned valid results.

Do the unions know this?

What cloud? You mean like your home computer or a server under your control? If it's on the internet is that considered cloud technology now?
How is that not pure research?
That never says it wasn't proven.

And they rise 20% a year anyway, so isn't 10% less than normal?
They didn't help us much with DDT now did they?

Luckily, i don't know many people that use that phrase.
