I disagree. They deserve all members of the legislative branch executed. Firing squad preferable, fire acceptable.
This couldn't be more blatent - "You are not a citizen, taxpayer, you are a suspect."
One of the side effects of knowing you can't totally trust your physical perceptions for twelve hours (hence the importance of guides and saferooms) is a state of mind conducive to questioning assumptions about other perceptions as well, e.g. social cues/mores.
It's illegal because The Establishment can't afford to have genuine free thinking about some topics, and especially about The Establishment.
I am astonished. Being concerned about the efficiency with which my tax dollars are spent puts me in the T.F.H. brigade? I can't mock your intelligence sufficiently; I'd need a team.
I need to state this explicitly (rather than modding you down, because your comment is already at -1): you're a fucking idiot. First, if I were doing something that would warrant attention from the FBI, they could damn well go to a judge and get a warrant filled out. I want to insure my car, there's paperwork involved. You want to sell your car, there's paperwork involved. They want to investigate someone beyond simply looking at them as they pass by, there's paperwork involved. Suck it up, princess. Second, living my private life, is what. Law enforcement officers are, in the end, on my payroll, and I want them spending their time investigating crimes, not wasting time studying my activities.
Your attitude was discredited centuries ago, what dinosaur-laden tropical valley have you been living in?
...comes from an expatriate, who moved to Canada and became a psychologist. Along the way, he was accused of dodging the draft, accidentally raised a kid who went in to politics, and discovered an alarming (and measurable) character trait that (among other things) brings along with it a willingness to accept any "logical" conclusion they agree with, no matter how faulty the reasoning, and to assert that the reasoning is valid.
"The Authoritarians" is available as a free PDF, (~ 250 p), and it's moderatly funny, given that the subject is just what kind of lunacy you can expect when dealing with the hard core neocons and their followers, and where that lunacy comes from. Warning: I lost time reading this, and I normally don't give a rat's ass about psychology. It's that good.
I followed over 30 of those 43 links before I admitted to myself that there was a pattern that wasn't breaking. Every one is either a trojan requiring user action, or was dowloaded and installed by an already running trojan. Oh, and two of them (inqtana.b, dmgdos.) are not actually for OS X.
So that wipes out pretty close to 101% of OS X malware.
Mac fanbois aren't moving the goalposts, they're playing a different game.
No, it's not weak. It's part of probably the strongest argument possible.
DUI checkpoints are, pure and simple, arbitrary detention and investigation. The fact that I happen to be driving down the same road a checkpoint is on does not constitute probable cause to believe I've been involved in some criminal activity. I hear that Americans had to have their constitution fixed up a bit on this issue a while back, because powerhungry cops have historically neglected to apply common sense, and treated suspects like criminals. Something called the Borth Amendment or something.
I'm neither a legal scholar, nor an American, so I could in fact be talking out my ass.
I wonder why religions even have made sex to look like a bad thing.
...and the simplified answer is, people growing up in societies where pleasure is a normal component of everyday life don't feel like organizing an army to aggressively expand the borders of their nations. Refer: Body Pleasure and the Origins of Violence.
The mere existance of dog, cat, corn, etc. breeders, for one. I know "On the Origin of Species" is widely considered a boring read, but seriously, ignoring it marks a gap in your education as wide as Euclid's "Elements".
I don't know how much attention people were paying in their bio classes (if even they took them), but evolution is not a theory. It's an observation. Natural selection was a theory put forward that, while flawed, pretty much explained it.
Plausible, but wrong. That used to be the canonical definition of "Troll"
Even Windows doesn't run all Windows applications and games perfectly. See the recent youtube video, installing Windows 1.0, and upgrading through every windows version (save ME) up to W7.
I've spent a large amount of time helping friends and customers through computer problems on a multitude of operating systems, including transitions to and from Linux, and when they have a problem, they blame their ignorance.
Even theoretical trust in Facebook is misplaced. Here's a piece of news that you may have forgotten in the multitude of fucked up things Facebook has done over the past few years:
In my experience, they are de-linked, but remain at the exact same URL. Also, they remain there even though my account has been "closed" for almost two years. Personally tested with dozens of images.
The fact is, "Deleting the image from Facebook is not done."
Mods have access to better drugs than I do, apparently.
That's the stupidest thing I've seen get a score over two in a long time. You have failed a basic reading comprehension task. Plus, your spelling could be improved.
How is it the article can mention the take from "Knowing", approximately two minutes, yet overlook the opening scene of "Snake Eyes" (also with Nick Cage), where one shot covered approximately fifteen mintues?
Long shots are not at all new, and they aren't an antidote to CGI. Good scripts are the antidote to CGI.

Moron. How about reminding people what every ten year old knows the world over, that not getting an invitation means you're not invited?

There's much more to it than merely the fact that religious fundamentalists tend to be authoritarian. Give in to your friend's pressure.

Oh, say, to delay hostile field artillery setting themselves up accurately when they invade my nation?

I, for one, would be astonished (and grateful) to live in a community of 2.9 million and have one crime per month.

Deleted' images are never deleted.

The fact is, "Deleting the image from Facebook is not done."
Or, translation: We're not interested in playing pretty, because we're dealing with dickheads hell-bent on breaking something essential.

I knew I'd slept a long time last night, and hibernating through the winter has always felt like a really good idea, but is it April already?
Really, WTF are they smoking? Where can I get drugs that good?

On average, people have been lowering the standard for the Turing test all my life.
It looks like you have completely missed what the problems are.
You are diluting the meaning of diluted, and the deluded about the spelling of deluded.
