"Unfortunately, holding such a clearly contradictory belief is a kind of insanity."
Holding such kind of contradictory belief is actually very common. From the luddite which use internet to spread their rant against tech, from the scientific person which normally only accept claim with evidence, then on sunday pray to whichever gods, from the theist which ignore blatant contradiction in their holy books, people holding contradictory belief are actually plentyful. That NSA stuff and thinking they are doing a good job while trampling democraty, constitution and so forth ? Pffft. Small stuff.

"A rainbow party is a supposed group sex event featured in an urban legend spread since the early 2000s. "
Yeah I know you wanted to only give an example. but let me say you this. When I was around to 10 (I can't remember exactly which ages) we were passing udnerhand porn magazine. You know, the one with glossy colored picture. And one of us even got a video band (deep throat). What I gatehred from my friends much later in life, is that it was wide spread (haha;)). The only difference among us is that some saw it earlier (as early as 6) some were late bloomer-curious and got to see their first porn when they were 12/13. But there was only one among a very large group which never saw porn in film. Yes I know anecdotial evidence, yada yada. But so far I haven't seen any evdeicne whatsoever than any of us turned bad.
There wasn't that much conccurence back 25 years ago. Console and gaming wasn't that widespread. So that led to a much lower footprint marketing, and a much lower attention grabbing trailer with explosion. That's part of the reason the budget are rising much quicker than inflation. Look at the amount of explosion and CGI in all recent films, and compare to 25 years ago. They made a much lower usage 25 years ago, because it was expansive, so you used a low dosage to make it effective when it happened. Or avoided it altogether if it did not fit. And the marketing is way overbroad nowadays.
Movie local to foreign country have deeper plot. Watch some ingmar bergman as I mentionned in another thread for example. No, it is not because of the internation audience. In fact, using Marvel/DC comic superhero like capitain america will leave out most of the international audience out (for example). The reason is simple : they found a formula and abuse it because it is cheaper than make something creative. International audience probably enter their consideration only in the form of "are we going to piss off our international audience with some politically incorrect stuff, or are we fine" and even that is doubtful seing on how on regular basis holywood seems to put prejudice against other countries in their film.
Those are older film, but this is exactly an example of great foreign film. "The seventh Seal" is my top movie of all time. And then there are the monthy pythons;).
The main fear for nuclear terrorism is not that they build their own bomb, but rather that they get one thru stealing/corruption/or jsut plain buying from the soviet or other state with nuclear weapon. Can you be sure that nuke from,say , France are as secure as the US one against stealing ? Now repeat the same question with say, Pakistan or India ? That's the real deal. If nuclear terrorism ever happen, it will be that way.
But far more likely before nuclear terrorism will be bio-chemical terrorism which do not need as much facility. VX gas, for example. Or even some changed virus, because some apocalyptic cult want us all dead.
Because if the insurgent are a bit skeptical, and knows those detector are crap, then they will more likely try THOSE check point fully knowing there is no real detector.
"Let me sum up my position on this by example; If Al Qaeda came up with a cure for cancer, would we as a society start using it, or reject it as poisoned fruit?"
Why don't you ask the NASA about their early rocket program about poisonned fruit ? Like about "Von Braun". Or ask if we burned down all the research result mendele did. In both case the answer is : we swallowed the poisonned fruit ignoring what the persons did.
In other word, it is not about file sharer, but rather people putting an open access not securized. Now instead of disconnecting them after a 3rd warning, they don't disconnect them but put fines. Which makes sense, but is not about file sharer

"In US political dialogue, "socialism" is just a vague term used to smear people or plans that you don't like." , oh man, they must really hate police and fire station, one of the socialized service in the US;).
In the so called "socialist country" (sweden/germany/france) we do not have a penalty if you smoke. You do not pay more. Frankly it seems to be really a US habits of making stuff more complex and try to punish people on the side for bad habits in law. If you had made the law without such exception, the law would be 1) easier 2) you would not have to make the expansive (more than zero) change 3) software would have been cheaper to design. And what does it makes of a change to have a penalty ? Probably not much in the long run.
Really, you do not need to reinvent the wheel. If you wanted socialized medicine, you could have made it simpler and consulted specialist (european country) rather than make the complicated horror you got.
I got a special vest just for that. It is very thin (does not protect against wind or heat or rain or anything whatsoever) so I can wear it above any clothing I got. It is very very bright yellow, with a lot of reflective strips before me, on the side, and behind me. Did you see worker on the road at night ? Same as this but on thhin material. You can also buy such a night worker best, they are rather expansive and protect from rain (I saw one at 250 euro) but they are thick and you can't wear over your clothing. The reflective bands are usually very wide and also overall. Going at night without those reflective bands, even with white clothing is not good enough, too many people "speed" and by the time they see you it is too late. Reflective bands make you see from much further away.
No, seriously, what could they do ? Have a stern look ? Show the birdy to the US ? loudly whine ? There is nothing on the law or international court they could do.
See sharing as long as they can hide it is one thing, but sharing while obviously going agaisnt the law publicly won't work, as the variosu EU governement can't pressure court with secret warrant stuff as easily in EU in various country as it is in the US.
Detect for "right." alone in a sentence, add bonus point when it separate the main text with a cariage return. "Yeah, right." make the detector explode.
I wonder how good does it plays with the bahamas spec (lost luggage) and SITA world tracer. Do they have maybe a middleware to translate it from one format to the other ? And what do you do with flights bound on other airlien which do not support it ? Since your bag tag follows you , then you would still need a pritned one by BA.
See, a long time ago, it was OK if a few random postal guy saw the outside of your mail, heck even if they *systematically* did it for all your mail. Since thousands passed in their hands, and probably nobody could remember all of them, especially keep track of all the friends/package. The human factor make it so it was not important to look at the outside of the letter.
Now with technology, massive storage, and automated scanning, this *all* changed. They can keep the name of destination/senderfor every mail. Collate the data. And if they wanted, say which package you got from whom, which letter, who do you write often, etc...
And that was the "exterior of the letter has no privacy implication" is terribly outdated and alson terriibly wrong : you could now have a pretty good picture of what and whom from a person do order, and whom she is mailing to, and with which frequency. That has implication of privacy *because* of the collation and easy availibility of the data, since it is not anymore a sets of random human not seeing the whole picture, but a cloud of machine with a database havign a very precise picture.
So since now somebody back decades ago did not see the implication against privacy of letting "just the exterior of the envelop has no expectation of privacy", well now your snail mail will say much more about you than some might want to wish. If you are fine with that, be aware, that not everybody is.
Frankly I do not care but I can see why some folk would not be happy.
Since those mutation are random, and spread over the whole text, you can just buy or take 6 or 10 text, then compare them all. The difference will be local. Return to the average and you can build a version which is safe.
Example:
The red poney, the traitor all, is dead !
The red poney; the traitor all, is dead ?
The red poney, The traitor all, is dead !
The red poney, the traitor All, is dead !
The red poney, the traitor All, is dead !
You look at all the changes and find out :
(The red poney)*5,*4;*1 t*4T*1 (he traitor )*5 a*3A*2 (ll, is dead )*5 !*4?*1
You then compare all the frequency and take the highest. And you get :
(The red poney)*5,*4 t*4 (he traitor )*5 a*3 (ll, is dead )*5 !*4
At least in germany valve would get a beating unless they would add a patch to remove the DRM shortly before shutting down the server. First sale and stuff.

it appears to be paradoxical, unless you realize that a lot of us do not have wifi, and jsut *one* internet cable. In my case for example the basic DSL modem I have got has a cat 5 cable linked to my PC. I literally cannot connect a console unless I physically either add a wifi router, or physically remove the connection from the PC and put it in the console.
Therefore I can connect to steam but cannot connect to anything on my console. It isn't a rare situation either, although now the trend by ISP is to provide for free a wifi DSL modem router, it was not the case years ago.
"Let me see it I got that right: Sonny p0wing your computer is just stupid, but MS making an always online console is weapons grade stupid? I got that right?"
Yes because most consumer , are not geek, don't even know what a rootkit is, and probably would not care to be rooted. On the other hand many people I discuss at work knows very very well what Xbone restriction entails, some are shocked to be forced to log in every day they want to play (and don't have internet linked to their console today) some are shocked that they won't be able to bring a disk to a friend and play. Bottom line is all are dumb founded at Xbone, but none of them knows about the "other" OS story, and most of them except one ever heard of the rootkit thingy. Sure it is anecdotal, but try asking around yourself to normal people, not the type reading slashdot, but still the type liking to game on console and keeping up to date with gaming news.

Or maybe *I* am misunderstanding it. 2013-596 says "Objet : infraction de négligence caractérisée ; abrogation de la peine complémentaire de suspension de l'accÃs à un service de communication au public en ligne" and " III de l'article R. 335-5 du code de la propriété intellectuelle. "
;
But 355-5 is "Article R335-5 Créé par Décret nÂ2010-695 du 25 juin 2010 - art. 1 I.-Constitue une négligence caractérisée, punie de l'amende prévue pour les contraventions de la cinquiÃme classe, le fait, sans motif légitime, pour la personne titulaire d'un accÃs à des services de communication au public en ligne, lorsque se trouvent réunies les conditions prévues au II :

2 Soit d'avoir manqué de diligence dans la mise en Å"uvre de ce moyen. "
