I'd imagine he's talking about all those convictions against people for "child porn", where the porn in question happened to be a totally fictional illustration.
First of all, none of these verses were written before the Bible was compiled.
All of those verses were written before the Bible was compiled. In fact, it's impossible for a Bible verse to be written after the canon was defined, as then it wouldn't be part of the Bible.
Never read The Brothers Karamazov, but that's pretty much a description of Jesus' life from the New Testament. The Jews were supposed to be waiting for the Messiah (just as Christians are supposed to be waiting for Christ's return), but when he came "doing his Jesus thing", they persecuted him as a threat to their power.
Of course, the main difference appears to be the fact that the Inquisitor let Jesus go, whereas the religious leaders of that time had him killed.
This just in; criminals are a subset of the general population. If Joe Blogs can hear what the police are saying, then so can Bob the Carjacker. What element of transparency is so hideously violated by not hearing the police radio chatter until the next day?
Answer: because a subset of "the populace" are the criminals that the police are tasked with capturing, and knowing the intimate details of their pursuer's communications makes a criminal more likely to escape
There's a place for the storefront, but it's not mass-market commodity items. I'm sure that in the next couple of decades, storefronts will be pretty much limited to boutiques, custom work, one-of-a-kind things like antiques, and services. And I think our retail districts will be better for it.
yep never use the same user name or password for different sites you care about, at the minimum.
FTFY. I mean, really, nobody has the mental capacity to remember a unique, strong password for every titchy site they have an account on.
Me, I have a strong, unique password for the handful of things that deserve it (My workstation, email, banking, facebook) and then a common password that I use among all the other sites, that I really don't care about being compromised.
Seriously though, capitalism was never predicated around petitions. If you want "pure capitalism" to work, then the response is to not buy Apple products. A petition may be a useful adjunct, so Apple knows why they're being boycotted, but a petition without accompanying action is meaningless.
Secondly, by focussing on Apple you're giving a free-pass to all the other tech companies who are using the exact same supplier. If you boycott Apple, just to be some other products produced by the exact same factory, you're applying absolutely zero pressure to that factory.
Boom, from +5 Funny to -1 Flamebait in a matter of minutes - and everything under it seems to have gotten the same treatment. Looks like some staff have broken out the mod-hammer.
Compare this to another project also breaking records on Kickstarter at the moment - the Order of the Stick reprint.
Yes, the guy's been writing it for a while, and yes, he's built up a fan-base, but it's not been his day job, and it's not exactly "commercial" - it's a free webcomic. And yet, when he started the kickstarter to try and fund print runs of his product, he almost equalled this well-known, established, commercial player, that (I assume) has a lot more backing it than one guy drawing stick figures. The OOTS kickstarter has reached around $580,000 last time I looked, and is cruising for the 5th most successful kickstart ever.
Um, it sounds like it wouldn't make a difference who your insurer is. You should be telling people to ditch their TomToms, as its their device that is doing the data collection and transmission.
Ah, well, it's a quote from an American author - Jim Butcher. It's less a metaphor in his character's case, as that character is actually one of God's chosen knights, and he does wear a kevlar-lined breastplate.
Because of this, the public's interest in keeping police communication in the clear far outweighs the police's interest in keeping their communications secret.
I guess I don't see what the public's need for real-time police communications is. I can definitely see it's use for proving police corruption and excessive violence, etc, but as long as it is available, it doesn't need to be real-time.

I'm not from the US, but here, you only pay capital gains tax when you sell a property. Is that now how it works there?

Would you pay me back after it dropped in value?
No, because you'd have had to sell your house to pay your tax bill, therefore you no longer own the asset that has now depreciated. But the rich guy who paid the huge tax out of his piggy bank, and kept his property, now gets all his tax back.

Actually, I'm pretty sure most of the viewers were doing so in their own home.
Would you rather them be doing it in their bathroom instead?
I've never seen a post so misinformed rated "informative"
Fortunately for the corporations, first to file is law of the land now.
Which does not invalidate prior art.
So are ridiculously long patent lengths
US patents are 20 years, one year less than they were in 1836, and three years more than in 1994.

Or their unencrypted stream is delayed, and the recipient is actually listening to their real-time encrypted feed.
No, he thinks like an arts major.
What makes you think that they are streaming it live, and not with a 10sec delay so they can censor it, like the radio stations do?
That trust is separate issue, and completely distinct from whether or not they broadcast live or not?
Try without littering it with personal insults next time, and maybe you'll be able to put together something worth the effort of reading.

If the police are securing their communication from criminals that means they are doing things that need to be hidden from the criminals.
Minor edit. Yes. That is perfectly true. They are. That's their job.

Using incite rather than insight could work ;P

Yeah, without the info. I'm teetering on the brink of leaving and never coming back as well. And I've been posting for years.

It sounded to me like he was complaining about being tracked everywhere he drove, not about the rates/penalties.
Ditching his insurer won't stop him being tracked - he needs to ditch his TomTom.
Yes, that's the second time you've stated that. Why? What's your argument?
Um, it sounds like it wouldn't make a difference who your insurer is. You should be telling people to ditch their TomToms, as its their device that is doing the data collection and transmission.
Your point being?
Sorry, your .sig seemed very American to me.
