I used to work (as a sysadmin) for a publishing house that printed academic works on homeopathy. The textbooks are as thick as as any calculus/physics book, and their founder, Samuel Hahnemann was a scientist in his own right known for his work in chemistry. In fact homeopathic doctors take pride in calling their discipline a science and publish journals which at least in form follow the standard academic publishing. I have seen it working with absolutely ordinary people of all ages. It helped me and I never though of myself as someone susceptible to suggestion. I do know how it manages to remove swelling near my knee joint within minutes (a chronic condition). Maybe it's really bullshit but If it's just placebo effect then real scientific medicine needs to really research it further, because it seems to be very effective in some cases, such as pain relief.
I'm not anti-semitic, I'm however anti-imperialist and anti-new-world-order where US and it's cronies (should have added Australia to the list) wish to dictate their will to the rest of the world.
Money and CCs are a tool that oppressor classes use to keep us down. So undermining the monetary system is a legitimate form of protest. The Arab spring started with one guys burning himself, but later in Egypt and elsewhere there was a lot of burning of symbols of oppressor power.
There are majority Muslim countries that either do not implement Sharia law or only implement a very limited subset. Examples are Turkey, Azerbaijan, Malaysia, Jordan, Lebanon and some other I would have too lookup. So your assertion that Islam is somehow fundamentally incompatible with modern political/legal system is not true.
You fall asleep at the wheel, hit and kill a person. Or you kill a person during a robbery. In both cases the victim is just as dead. Why should one offense be punishable by death and the other have a relatively minor punishment? My guess is the relative danger for society. Same with hate crimes.
How so, there are other reasons for now wanting to be around a group of people besides being scared of them. I do not want to be around homosexuals because I think they are morally corrupt. I'm surer as hell not scared that they will attack me from behind and force buttsex on me.
This a bs link, because major religions like to bulk claim everyone both a particular country for themselves. Overhere The Russian Orthodox Church claims every of 100+ million ethnic Russians for themselves, just as every Muslim country claims everyone born there as automatically Muslim.
Without engaging in deep theological argument, based on my observation American fundamentalist Christinaity is about denying origin of spieces through evolution, denying AGW, desire to stop implementing/rollback advances made by modern humanist thought such as abortion rights, gender/sexuality rights, need to establish a generous wellware net, denying the need to separation of Church and State
This sounds pretty radical to me, but you may disagree. As I said I'm an outsider, so do you believe this is just all political circus and if fundamentalist Christian Santorum wins the election and the representative branch is also controlled by republicans (not likely, but not beyond probable) they will not proceed to implementing the above policies?
Regarding the original issue, I do not see it as specific to radical Islam, what I see is Iranian government deciding to conduct one of those get tough on child porn campaign (sounds familiar? As in American WAR on X) and having not succeeded in capturing any high profile pornographers, found an easy scapegoat, creator of software used by child abusers. This is very similar to what happened in the 90s to that guy from FD (not Kevin, the other guy who was tortured by Police and then released without charge) during the hacker scare. Another, though admittedly more controversial is the current case of Manning who will spend life in prison for essentially "uploading images" to a third party NGO. And prosecution could have just as easily asked for death penalty. Manning is already considered a prisoner of conscience by respectable Human Rights groups.
My two cents as a foreigner. Just two days ago I checked front page of major American news site. Right on the front page we have main candidates who actually have a good shot of becoming the next President of the USA falling head over hill in religious fervor trying to prove which one is the bigger Christian fundamentalist. The same candidate accuses the current President of the USA of not basing his policies on the Bible. In all seriousness this is plain scary stuff.
You never see this in Great Britain or Australia or any Western country. Hell, you do not even see this in Malaysia where I currently live, and this is a country with partial sharia law for registered Muslims.
And regarding the actual topic, just watch Freedom Downtime and see for yourself how in America a programmer can be detained, tortured in police custody leaving him with permanent disabilities and then released w/o charge.
And people up the thread say Chinese have not innovated anything of value! I'd travel to China to steal this amazing remote MacBook crashing tech
of theirs. Just imagine crashing an Apple Store full of macs, the possibilities for lulz are endless.
It started many years ago *originally* due to lower labour costs and more lax regulations in certain Asian countries, at that point it could have been possible to reverse the trend had tariffs on such countries been introduced. The man point of my reply that now labour costs are no longer the main reason production is outsourced to China. Labour costs (and standard of living in China) have risen dramatically in the last 20+ years since the start of new economic policy. Another reason that Asia is now home to major electronics companies such as Samsung, HTC, and other numerous Chinese and Taiwanese companies. Such situation did not exist 30 years ago and is direct consequence of globalization, technology and skill transfer. It only makes sense for Apple and others to benefit from existing large-scale manufacturing hubs in Asia.
Read the linked NYT article. It's not about saving on labour costs anymore, the whole industrial infrastructure, at least anything capable of assembling hundreds of millions of gadgets is overseas already. First assembly plants moved, then component manufacturers moved next to them to avoid shipping cots and delays. If you had an outburst of compassion now, you would not find a factory capable of assembling 120 million iphones a month in the United States.
As I got older I stopped pirating games because fussing with cracks, then updates, then cracks for updates, was not worth my time. But
if they continue making it harder to manage a legitly acquired games I may have to revert back to piracy.

It was not Mitnick. Mitnick was charged and convicted. There is another guy in the film who was tortured.
It'd interesting to see if they drop charges against sabu completely now. After all, you can't put a man with no fingernails on trial.

Just watch Freedom Downtime. A hacker was detained, tortured in police custody leaving him with permanent disability and then released w/o charge.

OS level container virtualization solves Linus's problem. Create a container for the Id and let him play admin it it.
It is installing hardware in the most literal sense. Just because it's connected over their air and not by a wire does not make it any less so.

War crimes perhaps? Starting an illegal war based on known lies that led to death of thousands of fellow Americans?

Because it's not possible anymore. The factories, logistics infrastructure, component manufacturers are all in Asia.
Oh, the days of trolling mac.advocacy newsgroups, thanks for reminding me.
Isn't OSX supposed to be intuitive for such basic things as playing media?
This is obviously a fake flyer, where is your sense of humour people? Mention "Tripwire", seriously?
