The non-paying 5 are not consuming most benefits. They have no factories to be protected by the police, they own no deposits to be insured by the government, they own no home to be protected from fire. They do not use the roads to make money, nor do they benefit from the legal system to uphold their patents or copyrights.
It sure is. I am not saying they were right to do this, only explaining their motives. The same way one would explain what other terrorists thought as they did their actions. I do not support what they have done.
I agree it does indicate a loss of faith in government. While I agree a work towards solutions would be nice, I am not naive enough to believe it can or will happen.
The simple fact is since time immemorial the law did not apply to the aristocracy, nothing has changed. You can either accept that or not, but nothing will change it for any real length of time. Revolution will fix it for a very short time, but then those leaders will become just as corrupt as those they deposed.
This is what happens when he law fails. Murdoch and his ilk cannot and will not be punished in our current system of law. Vigilante justice is wrong, but it is the only justice left to deal with these folks. If the law would do its job this would not happen.
If you live in Alaska you know the coldest nights are those without clouds. You do not want a black roof losing heat all night, especially when the nights are that much longer than the days.
If you want to lose weight, you don't do that by parking a few feet further from the building or taking a few flights of stairs, while you continue to stuff yourself.
Less calories in or more out gets you the same result. If you are going to stuff yourself anyway might as well park further away.
I like how these are such a screw up and their name is a homophone for cock in a certain US accent. I can just see a Kennedy proposing these cards in some government meeting.
Or universities refusing to play the game. I had a professors that did that. He used old versions and you had to pay a deposit to get the book, which was exactly what replacing that used copy would cost him. At the end of the class he gave back your money when you returned the book.
I am not suggesting all universities move to a 0 profit from books scenario, but they could move to exclude any book above $X from the undergrad curriculum.
A few is exactly right. As a poor college student I tried to use those, sadly when you have 400 folks taking one class the three copies in the library are not exactly enough.
How about not using a new edition of the book every semester? Or for something like Chemistry 101/Calculus how about using something in the public domain? Not like either of those fields have really changed in the past 100 years.
DNSSEC fixes that, like you said encryption is the solution. So does doing all your lookups via an ssh tunnel to a machine with a good dns server to look at.
Why do they have the ability to do that? Make them login as an unprivileged user. Stop blocking at the DNS level, just drop packets at the border router.
New NIMH AA are about 2Ah and can hold 80% of their charge for 6-9 months. After that the self discharge losses are even less. Using alkaline batteries today is silly. If you need long self discharge times, like in a remote, get a modern NIMH if you need high voltage and high energy density get a non-rechargeable lithium cell. These NIMH cells pay for themselves in about 2 uses.
So you have not noticed that your cell phone no longer weighs as much as a brick?
For real fun check out the latest AA and AAAs these are still NIMH but will now hold a charge for years. Sure only 1.2v but the discharge curve is a hell of a lot flatter than alkaline.
You are wrong on all counts. The police will charge you with something else if they don't like what you are saying. A fun one is resisting arrest after you fall when they push you as they arrest you for no reason at all.
Still this is abuse by one person, not official government action. Travel outside the USA and see real lack of freedom of speech. When you can be charged and arrested and shown to be guilty of only saying something.
If you are planning on committing a crime remove the battery from your phone. This goes for non-smartphones as well. Use a prepay for crime planning and ditch it as frequently as possible.
I agree, give me half a penny for every dollar you make. For insurance of course. It would be a shame if something happened to all that nice stuff you have.
Free speech exists. You can say whatever you like without the government coming after you. Unless you are admitting to a crime or someone causing one with words. An example of the latter would be "Give me all your money" during a mugging.

I agree. What is wrong with that?
Not like you need to really read it, just be able to click it.If you do want to read it you still can.

Black also radiates heat the most. Which it will do when it is dark most of the winter.
Opportunity cost of a few hundred dollars?
You must be loads of fun to hangout with.
In winter they are white anyway. Ever hear of snow?
I think you mean no SMP, SMTP should work just fine since you can probably run sendmail or postfix on HURD.
Why do they need to be separated. Sounds more like a pride issue than a resource issue. If anything we should be reducing the number of branches.

If he sees problems there, hell yes.
This whole BS MBA compartmentalized mentality is killing America.

Those devices must eat alkaline batteries. Alkalines are down to 1.2 quite quickly. Check out a discharge curve for them one time.

The battery in your phone has never died?
No need to shut it down, just yank the battery.
Leaving at home seems good too. Maybe even get someone to use it.
If you are planning on committing a crime remove the battery from your phone. This goes for non-smartphones as well. Use a prepay for crime planning and ditch it as frequently as possible.
