You must either be from a fly over state or still in high school to be this ignorant. Evidently killing women and children is a good thing to you. Ask the Japanese how that went for them in ww2 after raping and killing whole populations.
No i'm saying they are saying the following (from the OP):
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children [CC] has been running online ads for several years saying that "Each year 1 in 5 children is sexually solicited online", a statistic that has been endlessly repeated, including by vendors of blocking software [CC] and by politicians who often paraphrase it to say [CC] that 1 in 5 children "are approached by online predators".
I'm saying that 20% of children being sexually solicited online is way higher than IRL. So it makes parents so scared of the internet that they will demand more Internet controls until that number comes down to their expectations as to what is a "normal" amount of risk.
Yeah, because i'm sure it never occurred minorities active in the Civil Rights movement. I hear they were some of the strongest supporters of the will of the majority as shown in their unabashed support of Jim Crow laws. It amazes me how uppity they were just because they didn't like the will of the majority. sheesh.
What difference does it really make if the number is 1 in 5 or 1 in 50? The point of quoting the statistic is to say that the internet is not Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, and parents need to take responsibility to protect and monitor their children.
Because the number is way higher than what people experience IRL. So parents will pressure the Gov't to make the safeness comparable to real life, saying that it's so dangerous that even if they try to protect in monitor their children, they will still get victimized by "sexual predators."
And even more die in car accidents and heart disease. Heart disease is the greatest killer in the US, but where does that fall on your list of concerns?
See the difference? The first one is a simple contract which people willfully enter into because the photographer has something the buyer wants. The second one is what copyright enables.. infinite power handed to a guy who stood in the street with a camera and took pictures of buildings at night.
There has to be dumber things I've heard on slashdot, but i can't remember them at the moment. Why couldn't they enter a simple contract with him to use his image instead of infringing it? The guy doesn't have infinite power--he can't force someone to use his images.
They choose to use his images and they suffer the consequences for it. It's really not that hard. If his photos had no value they would have taken the picture themselves.
Well depending how the general schedule is setup in your line of work, you might do well early on in you career. The salary curve for the first 2.5 years of advancement was pretty good when i worked for the DoD. After that it flattened out a bit. (gs7, gs9, gs11, gs12 in 2.5 years) Then it was competitive openings for gs13 in another year.
But you have to put up with the 25% of coworkers that don't do anything at all. The other 50% that are all mediocre. And of the remaining 25%, you have about 10% that are really smart and 15% that are good at working through the red tape.
But you do get 13 holidays, 13 sick days, and either 13/19/26 days off a year depending on seniority. If you can do AWS, you can work 4 days a week and still have holidays and sick days off. It's very easy to slack since the quality of your co-workers will pull you to their level--up or down.
Well, if assault is meant to cause physical harm, then this prank was certainly meant to cause emotional harm
Uh, battery is meant to cause physical harm.
But anyway your statement is illogical. You are trying to say the following:
1.) Assault (battery?) is meant to cause physical harm.
2.) Assault is illegal.
3.) This prank causes emotional harm.
4.) Emotional harm should be illegal.
But you fail to notice that emotional harm is not illegal (unless it is outrageous behavior intended to cause intense emotional distress. This is already a law).
Normal, everyday, you-ate-the-last-scoop-of-ice-cream emotional harm is not illegal.
Makes me think of a new Onion headline: Breaking up. Not just hard to do, but now illegal!
criminal charges up to and including large fines and very lengthy jail terms.
Well, i hope you work for a gov't agency and the criminal charges would be for state secrets, otherwise, i don't know why they can charge you with criminal charges.
Actually i hope you get paid over 150K, since they get to tell you to whom you are allowed to talk.
What does this have to do with keeping the banks up?
I mean if we're going to be spending billions in tax payer money to keep banks afloat after the subprime mortgage fiasco, this doesn't seem like that big a deal.
Why should they spend tax money to pay for a civil patent lawsuit between two companies? Is it ok if rip of a patent now and then ask the Senate to help me out? Why did some banks decide to license the patent and some didn't? Are we going to reimburse the ones that were smart and licensed the patent?
And finally, why should taxpayers pay for this patent?? Why not let the consumers that use those specific banks pay for it? At least "tax" the people that should be getting taxed. Why are republicans trying to get gov't to interfere with corporations and property?
People have to buy inexpensive goods because most of the good paying manufacturing jobs have gone overseas and they cannot afford better
And you can thank unions for that. They inflated the price of human resources way beyond the value of those human resources, so they closed up shop here. You can only stress a variable in the market so much before the market finds a more efficient solution.
So theoretically a man legally married in europe to a teenager could be be charged as a child molester in the USA if he slept with his wife on holiday there. Crazy system or what.
Try again.
If the US recognizes the marriage (most likely), it isn't going to be child molestation.
Are you somehow suggesting that you are using the stolen goods to provide me with free roads, educated employees, national defense, a police force, etc, and that I agreed to having my house broken into before i moved here?
Or were you commenting on all the free market pie-in-the-sky capitalists that cry when gov't doesn't give corporations special exemptions and rights but at the same time demand less gov't interference?
How about abolishing corporations as entities with rights and then we start thinking about interfering with them less? Because we all know that it is so unfair that they are taxed as entities and there are no other ways to incorporate. waaaa.
Ten million World of Warcraft subscribers would disagree with this assertion.
Take a look at the revenue and unit sales graphs here. Ten million is a lot for a PC game. It's a minority for the total gaming market.
Try taking into consideration the "subscriber" part of that statement. Not only do they subscribers pay the equivalent of 1-2 games a year in fees (beyond the initial purchase), but they are also not buying other games. The are cannibalizing the rest of the gaming market. So that is like 25 million sales with 10 million additional a year at least.
I have an automated server farm of gentoo machines. To create a new machine i run a script to create some new config files in a subversion repository. I then pxeboot the machine, and checkout the svn repository. And then run and install script.
The resulting machine is automagically built with root being in subversion and any edited config files in/etc/ being committed. The whole process takes about 20 minutes max...for a new machine. Pre-built ebuilds are pulled off an NFS mount, and any newly installed packages are saved back to NFS as binary packages.
but other than all those machines, i don't know of anyone that has finished installing gentoo.

Doesn't his funding come from the exact companies that this will hurt?
So you are arguing that FOSS isn't hurting proprietary software since companies don't care about cost.
No company benefits from using GCC evidently? or Apache? or iptables or Bind or dhcp?
Yeah, because i'm sure it never occurred minorities active in the Civil Rights movement. I hear they were some of the strongest supporters of the will of the majority as shown in their unabashed support of Jim Crow laws.

Here's some instructions for you: Click this repeatedly to start DDos.
P2P. I do not think that word means what you think it does.
I think it would be cool if they implemented their p2p software do DoS the hijackers. Is that illegal to think it would be cool? Yeah, they should be the ones to change. I think they should have registered their name as a trademark and you wouldn't be suggesting that.
