So this guy is up for 101 years for spamming, but some dirt bag that molested his daughter-in-law for 6 years only serves a 4 year sentence.
Yeah, that makes all sorts of sense.
How do you molest your daughter in law? Since your daughter in law is the woman married to your son, she is an adult, so it would just be what we call "having an affair" (although kind of a creepy one).
Rapists and murderers only harm one victim, not millions.
If you break it down to the number of victims, he's probably getting on the order of minutes per victim. A murderer gets years per victim. I think the ratio is fine there. Yeah, think about how long you'd be in jail if you sent millions of spam messages that intentionally killed the recipient!
Hell, you might as well try and take down the police who attempt to bring you in. If you manage to get a few, it'd sorta be like a bonus. I don't see the problem...
Hmm, I did not know that. Doesn't surprise me though. Any idea what they were on probation for? Something minor? Or something more serious? In the Wikipedia article about them, it states that they were on probation for breaking into a van and stealing tools. They both went into juvenille detention and probation. Eric Harris went to anger management therapy. They had successfully completed the programs they were in for this.
The point was that no-one paid attention AT ALL to these boys If I recall correctly, they were in trouble with the law and were on probation. So, obviously the police, judge, probation officer, etc. had to have paid SOME attention to them. In fact, I recall that there was some sort of talk of them telling the probation officer what he or she wanted to hear - I don't remember where I read this, though.
It's fine if we are talking about putting your life, or your wife's/ mother's/ sister's/ brother's life on the line to determine the market forces for installing these things. However, I do not want mine on the line for it.
That's why you'd be free to buy your tickets from the airline that does install the lasers.
He could just as easily do that now because there will not be any way that these things would be economically viable as a feature to sell airplane tickets. No one wants to pay 3X for their ticket just to have some anti-missile system that doesn't work on the plane.
If they are fixed installations, they can be factored into an attack. If they travel with the plane, it's much harder to take them out. Terrorist: Okay, guys - when we attack, remember that the airport will probably have an anti-missile system. is much easier than Terrorist: Okay, guys - when we attack, remember that the airplane will probably have an anti-missile system.
The game also makes the point that people are willing to stereotype the game and refuse to look at the issues it discusses (mainly the motivations behind the killers). Which is reflected in the fact that people just assumed they were evil incarnate, and left it at that. Instead of examining all the cues/influences in their lives up to that point. I'm still finding people who just assume they were brainwashed by Doom and M-Manson, and leave it at that, and pretend that if they just ban both, then this will never happen again... So if we carefully examine the clues we can be sure it won't happen again? No, there will always be mentally unbalanced people. At best we can perhaps learn some warning signs to watch for, although I don't think video games or music are going to be it.
I think a big difference between a WWII game and a columbine game is that in Columbine there were 34 victims killed or injured and these people were defenseless. Each of these people have names that you can easily look up. You've probably seen pictures of them and their parents. When you are playing the game, you are shooting one of these thirty four people. You could meet some of them - you could talk to their parents. You can read a list of their names.
There were a very large number of people involved in WWII. If you play as an american GI killing a japanese soldier, you don't know the name of the historical GI you are playing and the name of the historical japanese you are killing. Because you are playing a generic GI killing a generic enemy. You can't call the soldier's widow on the phone or see a picture of her.
I think that is one of the things that makes it different.
I really don't get this-- why? Why would you put your printer outside your firewall? So you can print from the internet? What's the point?
The point is that these printers aren't being configured this way on purpose - people plug them and and dick with them randomly until they get a document to physically come out of the printer. Then they walk away from it and never think about it again until it runs out of toner.

Who won?

Bush is a sack of shit. He has put the country in major debt and unbalanced the middle east. He is a fool.
Kerry lost because he was a very bad candidate. I knew he would lose. I sat in the Washington state democratic caucus and told people that he couldn't win and we should nominate someone else (John Edwards or Wes Clark). No one listened.
I'd like to do this; my wife has music on an account on an iMac, and I have music of my own under my account on the same machine. However, I don't believe we can mix libraries, even on the same machine. That's funny - my daughter and I do this all the time.
Now a question for you: is there anybody who actually likes the iPod's click wheel? At first, it seems like a cool gizmo, but then you realize how hard it is to move just one click at a time. It is not a problem for those of us who do not have cerebral palsy.
Right - there isn't a link because this isn't an official announcement from Apple. This is a rumor on some guy's blog that he heard from someone walking around on the floor at MacWorld.
Also, even if you believe the "article", you could get the software patch for free by buying the new 802.11n Airport Extreme base station from Apple which in theory you would need anyway in order to use this.
If you think about it for a second, this idea doesn't even make sense. How is it not just free software that they give in order for the router to work? Apple gives out lots of free software.
This thing sounds like someone talking out of their ass. Possibly it is a fake rumor that someone at Apple planted to track down a leaker.
Do you detect a note of skepticism in my post? It is because I don't believe a word of this.
You know what doesn't make sense to ME? It is that everyone on Slashdot seems to be assuming that this is real when in fact it comes from some guy's blog and he's reporting it as something that someone said on the floor at MacWorld.
I think I'll wait until Apple actually announces this before I even think about reacting to it one way or the other.
I'd be OK with the current system so long as I can broadcast on FM, since I can't, I don't see why someone else should get to use the PUBLIC airwaves to push an insane right wing political agenda.
I have a first-rev MacBook Pro with the Core (1) Duo. I *wish* I could upgrade from g to n for only $5! I had just received my Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro when this news broke a few days ago. Woo hoo!

Actually I think propulsion systems have gotten faster in the last 200 years.
Larry Niven had a story similar to what you talking about that involved chocolate covered manhole covers.

Apple has never shipped a Service Pack - that's a Microsoft term (and a awkward one, in my opinion).

He's probably talking about all of their new software in general - new versions of iLife, renewal of .mac, new QuickTime Pro license, etc.
There are a lot of idiots in the world, that's why Rush is so popular. All the law and order types listening to a junkie...
