As long as you use no more force than is necessary then the law is on your side.
And will the mugger give you the opportunity to calibrate your response so that it's legal?
I say old boy, I didn't know you were carrying a bat. Mind if I fetch my cricket bat, there's a good chap?
The fact of the matter is that the police and government actively discourage the public from defending themselves and have prosecuted numerous people for doing so, including at least two people who will spend the rest of their lives in prison.
For years, China's unwitting ignorance of the spam issues they have with the rest of the world has been a major stumbling block in the fight to control spammers who operate from the netblocks of foreign nations.
Unwitting...ha ha...good one. Nothing happens in China, especially in the high tech sector, without the government knowing about it.
Are you drunk? Liberty for citizens in Rome in Greece?
Rome was the biggest slave state in the history of the world and in Greece, also a slave state, political freedom was granted only to men who reached a certain age and were economically well off in comparison to the rest of their society.
Ahhh, some content with the horseshit known as the CBC. Isn't that nice...what does that make you, part of the 5 per cent of the marketplace the CBC still regularly reaches?
Choice is good until it's something you don't like, right?
So, the majority of human history worked great without this diety called capitalism.
The majority of human history "worked great" without this diety called liberty either asshat, what's your point? Because economic liberty hasn't always existed we can just dump it when it doesn't serve your needs?
Cantor Fitzgerald did it right. They backed up all their data every day and had it sent to their offices in Britain. Even though they lost their offices -- and tragically over 600 people -- they were able to resume working just two days later out of their international offices.
Good God man, Hamlet wasn't a coward. He was unable to be decisive. As the play clearly infers, he was respected by the people of Denmark as both a scholar and soldier.
Unlike other people I have to admit that I've enjoyed Enterprise, particularly this season. The mission to stop the attack on Earth has been, for the most part, fairly interesting. If they could develop a compelling story to base a prequel movie on, I could see myself watching it. More than I can say about the last couple of movies.
That said, ST movies tend to suck. What was the last good one...Undiscovered Country maybe?
I recently purchased a CD for $12 that came with a live concert on DVD. I think this is a great idea. I doubt that the larger labels would do this because they could sell the two items seperately and make more $.
Actually I was in the record store today and a new CD (either Fear Factory or Dream Theatre...can't remember which) had both a CD and a DVD. The DVD was either a concert or a making of feature. It was priced a little more but not outrageously so.
Wow, talk about being current. Review over a dozen flash based DMPs and three hard drive based DMPs. Yup, the future is expensive and limited flash!
I own a Nomad Zen NX and it kicks the crap out of every DMP listed there including most hard drive based players out there, including IMHO, the iPod. For sound quality and battery life it pummels the iPod though I concede the UI isn't as good. Also it is slightly larger and a bit heavier though IMO I think it looks better than the iPod.
This issue struck me in a NPR piece interviewing kids at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum shortly after Bush's speech. A majority of the kids thought of manned space travel as an escape from a disposable used up world. How sad really. Of all the motivations for going to the Moon or Mars, escaping a ruined Earth is about the least pratical.
Well, what did you expect? The environmentalist movement, and their willing thralls in the media, have been propagandizing for decades that the Earth is little more than a black cinder living on borrowed time. Of course we have problems, no one is going to deny that, but if you pound into people's heads that the Earth is used up, don't be surprised if they believe it.
It looks like almost every Will Smith movie ever produced: bloated, shrill and pointless. I know expecting a philosophical look at the issues is a bit too much to expect from Hollywood but this seemed like Bad Boys crossed with Independence Day, probably how it was pitched to the suits.
GEOS prompted me to buy the mouse (1351 I think it was), the 3.5' disk drive (1581) and the 512K Ram Expansion Unit. Together with a fast loader cartridge you had a decent WYSIWYG system for far less than Apple or IBM offered.
I used that system into the early 1990s.
> You forget that the U.S. was founded by people who left Europe to find a level of self imposed repression not available to them in the old world.
Those people left Europe to experience religious freedom -- and paradoxically denying it once they got to the U.S. -- which the U.S. then proceeded to eliminate from public discourse in the last 20 years.
And for the record I'm an athiest.
What I think will be interesting is...

Google v. Microsoft

The reaction of people like those found on Slashdot if Microsoft actually crafts a search engine that is demonstrably better than Google. Will people ignore that in favor of simple Microsoft bashing, or will they use it and acknowledge its superiority?
Assuming, of course, that Microsoft builds a better search engine, of course.
I had no idea how appalling it had gotten with pop-up ads. On my desktop machine I use Proxomitron and I rarely see them but the other day I connected online with my laptop (which has no pop-up blocking software) and I was hit with a barrage of them at almost every mainstream site I went to -- except for my own.
I really feel for people with older machines who surf and don't use a blocker. My laptop is old and the thing practically bogged down with all the bloody pop-ups that kept opening up.

I think the fact that it was a joke was implied. Lighten up people.
Yeah, but does it support OGG?

I have a Nomad Zen NX but my PC only has USB 1.1. It took about 4 hours, 45 minutes to transfer about 10GB of MP3s.
Not good but I only have to do it once so that's alright. Now that my collection is on there it only takes a few minutes at most to upload new files.

Well I guess the Linux propaganda machine's web site beat them to it.
Censored? Sweet! When did Wal-Mart become a part of the federal government, and which branch do they belong to?

I ran an article about the alleged Yellowstone supervolcano back in December 2002 on my web site. I feel a bit foolish.
I learned a lot back in the day from Webmonkey. Well, as long as they don't pull the plug on Cocktail.
