What I find works best is taking the first letter of every word in an easy to remember phrase. For example, "poor aunt sally slipped while out racing dogs". Er, wait...
Uh...actually, if anything, the bible proves free will doesn't exist either. god's supposed omnipotence makes free will an impossibility.
If someone already knows what you are going to do, how is it a choice?
I guess it comes down to the difference between having power and using it. If there is an omnipotent god I don't think said god's existence would preclude the possibility of free will, it would just add a new dimension to the question of whether we're really able to exercise it.
Talk about confusion! Dinosaurs walking with people, Noah's Ark, a walk through Biblical History...I can't figure out WHO is telling the truth!

After growing up watching the Flintstones, Gilligan's Island, and playing my records backwards I know how you feel.
Easy there, Skippy. AC was saying that this probably wouldn't have ended well without a lawyer involved, in response to you saying lawyers are "legalized crooks" and that "the world would be a better place without them". Of course the amount the lawyer took is ridiculous, no one said otherwise.
You don't win a gold medal in ten seconds, you win it by training almost non-stop the rest of the time. And you don't charge what you think is fair, you charge what they think is fair. If someone offered you millions of dollars to write code would you say no? I've charged upwards of $150 an hour and companies were happy to pay that amount for a specialized skill set. I imagine the same thing happened here: the lawyer's take was worth it to the students.
It's more like saying removing a specific brand of car that suffers from regular breakdowns from the road would prevent 99.9% of all traffic accidents, despite the fact that the drivers themselves account for a measurable portion (more than 0.01%) of said accidents.
To that end, I think this software is kind of like having a passenger who helps you operate the vehicle more safely by giving you one less thing to worry about. User education is an important part of computer security but it can be discouraging for users to try at all if there are pages that can infect their computer without their interaction.
Not that I disagree with you, but there is a pretty wide gap between saying something like this on the Internet and actually following through with it in the real world.
There's obviously no way for me to know your level of life-experience but if a person is not normally subjected to direct pain and suffering or is blissfully unaware of it the amount of effort required to force them into acquiescence is minimal. Withstanding that kind of pressure isn't as simple as you make it sound.
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
(Pinky) Whoof, oh, I'd have to say the odds of that are terribly slim Brain.
(Brain) True.
(Pinky) I mean, really, when have I ever been pondering what you've been pondering?
(Brain) To my knowledge, never.
(Pinky) Exactly. So, what are the chances that this time, I'm pondering what you're pondering?
(Brain) Next to nil.
(Pinky) Well, that's exactly what I'm thinking, too.
(Brain) Therefore, you are pondering what I'm pondering.
(Pinky) Poit, I guess I am!
It gets worse! There's places that charge you for making dinner! That's right! There's actually people who go out to these places to have meals made FOR them! WHAT FOOLS!
I think that buying the PS3 is like going to a restaurant for a meal, and the upgrade charge is more like a charge added to the menu price to cover the chef buying a new recipe book.
I think it's more like the non-optional "gratuity" fee I've encountered in so many US restaurants. If someone or something made my experience better or easier I'll definitely pay extra but it's at my discretion.
I never buy anything that has been advertised to me, period.
Advertising is not only annoying, but often it's rather immoral with it's use of "behavior modification" techniques.
Everyone should boycott any product that's advertised in annoying ways.
How do you buy food?
The bakery in your local grocery store wafts the smell of fresh bread for a reason and the sugary cereals sitting on the lower shelves are decorated brightly so the little ones can pick them out more easily. Even at the less devious end of the scale, like a farmer's market, you still need to be advertised to to know the product exists, right?

We know how male and female brains work differently from each other.
Male brains have an overwhelming tendency to be distracted by breasts, for example.

So does "$1.99 per minute".

Make Microsoft Windows ILLEGAL and we'll have taken care of 99.9% of the bullshit that happens on the internet.
Sorry, but how does that stop people from giving their credit card number to a purple hippopotamus or from buying whatever spam advertises?
They can't steal what ain't there? So you're saying they can only infringe behavior patterns then?

All they'll see is that I'm on Slashdot 14 hours a day.
I thought the only situation where you need Viagra is exactly human contact (in the most literal meaning of the word).
There's the rub, so to speak. Most men using viagra don't need it, they just like using it, and nothing prevents them from enjoying it on their own.

I think the problem is in America, women like their swimwear to STAY ON when they get in the water. Men don't mind one way or another :-)
Ironically, most people wearing swimwear don't actually swim; they just sunbathe.
How many people know who Richard Stallman is?
Richard... who?
According to Google, some guy with a katana under his bed.

From the guy talking about preventing "loosing" monitors.
TFA uses "loosing" instead of "losing". For once, I think the complaint was about someone else's editor.
My second monitor is on an arm so I can rotate it as needed. It's also handy for showing documents to clients as they can move it around themselves.
You mean cryptology, but we'll go over that when we get you downtown.
You mean "rubber hose cryptanalysis", right?
Personally, I thought his joke was a diamond in the rough.
If memory serves (and the ten year old summary conveniently linked by CmdrTaco), your UID would still be six digits.
Back in my day, we'd take the hot electronics off our lap as soon as we felt discomfort.
