Your anti-war demonstration scenario is only going to get your property frozen if it's a violent demonstration.
If only one person in a thousand is the type who gets violent at a demonstration, and your demonstration has five-thousand people, your demonstration will probably contain violence. Then you are the ringleader of a violent demonstration with the aim of destabilizing Iraq (by bringing the troops home, for instance.) Then anyone who has donated to your PAC is guilty of providing financial support to an organization that uses violence with the aim of destabilizing Iraq.
But of course, someone would understand that you were merely exercising your right to dissent against government policy. It's not as if you'd end up on a secret government blacklist or anything.
Cyberbullying is only dangerous insofar as it leads to physical assault. It doesn't help that it isn't considered "real" assault when one kid kicks the **** out of another. I fully agree, we should aggressively enforce the laws we already have.
And none of that mess about both the aggressor and the victim getting expelled if they're caught fighting in school.
I have yet to hear of any results, although I did have a strange experience the other day. I was about to try my first sip of Milo's Famous Sweet Tea when a 500 lb man appeared from thin air and knocked the glass from my hand before disappearing again.
I think he pushed the term to try to get approval from the religious right in congress
That seems misguided. I think they'd be threatened by the encroachment of science into the realm of God rather than impressed by science's sudden interest in religion.
You should consider voting for Ron Paul in the Republican primaries. He voted against both the Iraq War and the USA PATRIOT act while in Congress, and is running on a very libertarian platform. In fact, he ran for president in '88 as a Libertarian.
Though he hasn't gotten any love from the press yet, it's noteworthy that the traffic to his various web sites rivals that of the front running Republican candidates.
I haven't seen any of these solar setups before, but don't they already require arrays of batteries? Or do they just plug straight into the grid? If they use batteries, it should be relatively easy to modify them to use off-peak power during peak times.
In fact, would it be cost effective to do this for homes without solar power?
"If a person cannot walk into the middle of the town square and express his or her views without fear of arrest, imprisonment, or physical harm, then that person is living in a fear society, not a free society."
There's data that, through the fossil record, shows us earth's biodiversity peaking again and again until a great cataclysmic period where it is greatly reduced [...] hopefully we don't have to wait around 64 million years to draw a conclusion on this hypothesis.
Personally, I hope we do have to wait that long.:-)
Please STFU. If you had only mentioned real abuses, I'd totally agree. But you didn't. You lied. So fuck you liar...
My colleagues and I want you to be the host of our conservative talk show. Please send us more written sample material, and a picture of your best angry face.
The development of neutron weapons which destroy living organs but not buildings "might make a weapon of choice for extreme ethnic cleansing in an increasingly populated world".
We should do everything in our power to prevent these weapons from being used. Or, failing that, we should probably buy stock in ReMax and The Maid Brigade.
In the year 2035, we'll have an IT and energy infrastructure that harnesses the well-understood properties of tachyons. Star Trek starts explaining away unscientific phenomena with Higgs bosons instead.
Wikipedia says The US estimates claim the costs of tracking and correcting the problems he allegedly caused were around 700,000 USD. It then goes on to say that he hacked the government websites with a Perl script, and found default passwords on their "secure" network. Good think McKinnon found them before China did. (Or did he?)
Maybe they should treat him as a $700K security consultant.
I work full-time as a web designer - something I learned how to do on the internet. In fact, when I went to college, there were no classes on web design. When I hear about some new thing, I look it up on Wikipedia. I'm reading MIT's free online computer science textbook right now. I read Neuromancer, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, and Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect online. I read A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court for the first time at the Gutenberg Project site.
So yeah, absolutely. Not only would I have benefitted from it as a kid, I benefit from it now.

...but in fact, we hope this research will tell us which race received the Mark of Cain.
I bet it's those pagan Eskimo savages.

We used to be physically bullied. I would gladly have accepted a MySpace page full of personal attacks in place of a schoolyard full of actual ones.
Always behave as if free will exists.
If it does, you're behaving appropriately. If it doesn't, you could not have behaved otherwise.

We must find those responsible and bring them to justice! I call dibs on the big shovel.

How ironic.
...oh, wait.
I wonder, will they come preloaded with Lawrence Welk?

What was I thinking?
I don't know, but if 33% of everyone else thought the same thing, we might have a working republic. Carry on, sir.
The media, regardless of whereabouts, cannot be allowed to distort the term "flash mob" like it has so many other terms, i.e. "hacker" and the like
What are you, some kind of "liberal?"

Ronald left out the part about the system being powered by cold fusion!
Shame on this research lab. What's wrong with Perl, Python, and PHP?
...that you can tell where they've been by the trail of smoke they leave behind.

Can I use a gallon of uranium instead?
Can I total the distance that each piece travels, or does it all have to be in the same direction?
Can the direction be "up"?
...it's easy if you- what? You want to pay how much for rights to the Beatles catalogue?
Would you have benifited from the internet?

The XO is going to help a kid who would have to travel 10mi to the nearest well-stocked library.
In the rural U.S. community where I grew up, it was in fact 10 miles to the nearest well-stocked library.
