Geologists may care if there are younger Earthlike planets. Biologists would only care if life is found. Chemists probably wouldn't care, as there are almost certainly few compounds not found on earth or made in labs.
I happen to think that hands-off parents are a major problem in our society... too busy with work, too busy with social climbing, too busy period to be involved in their childrens' lives.
Not snooping is different from ignoring your children. Parents should be guides not despots. You should teach them whats right and wrong and teach them the natural consequences. If you don't let them suffer the natural consequences of their actions, as soon as you're no longer around they'll violate the rules. If you do, they will learn to trust what you taught them, and see more reason for things than "because I said so".
I'm not interested in raising robots.
If you want them to make their own choices you should have less rules, and let them make decisions for themselves. If you make every choice for them, they won't be able to make decisions on their own.
Physicists probably won't care much about other star systems while they're struggling to unify special relativity and general relativity, but plenty of other branches of science will.
General relativity is a more generalized form of special relativity(thus the name). They already are unified; I believe you meant to say quantum physics and general relativity. Also, I see no reason why physicists should care about other star systems. It's not their field of study. That's what astronomers are for. What other branches of science besides astronomy will care?
Yet if they were to go away, the entire economy would collapse due to the resulting huge unemployment. We simply don't have enough "real" jobs to employ everyone in society.
For a while, maybe a few years at the very most. However with prices down and profits up, there will be productive jobs available to them, because people now can afford a lot more, and will want to buy a lot more. It would probably be better if they were gradually gotten rid of rather than all at once.
However... and now a major rant against American health care: You're probably the type who never bothered to notice the clerk at a local store wince because he or she is in pain from a back injury. And you probably don't give a shit that they can't get it fixed becuase they can't afford it on the wage they make, the store they work at doesn't provide health insurance, and they make too much to get medicade. Just as long as you can get your MRI in a day, who gives a fuck about the 70,000,000 who can't get any MRI? But then again, maybe you are also one of those hypocrytical born again Christian assholes who says universal medicare is not for you because the people who can't afford health insurance should stop whining and get a real job like I hear these dickheads say all the time. Like Jesus when healing a lame begger ever stopped to say, "do you have an HMO or a PPO? What, no insurance? Sorry piss off."
So you want to knock universal health care? And people keep saying Americans are selfish. Can you imagine that? Get a clue.
How did this get modded interesting? It looks more like flamebait to me.
I guess for the majority it's the same: they don't understand so they must have faith in those who do.
I would prefer to trust a larger group not chosen for their political leanings, or lack of trustworthiness, than a small group that may have been chosen for those reasons.
Open source is not the solution. It is difficult to prove that the code being run is the same code you have source for. Open source's openness is good when you install it on your own system, but here you can't compile it yourself(allowing people to do so would be a huge security hole, as they could use a version that counts their vote 1000 times or something).
IIRC the third one is malice. Opportunity is part of means. Malice can be important. If Bob openly hates Joe, and Joe's computer is hacked by Bob's, there is good evidence that Bob did it.
Why should he be punished? Just because he made meth doesn't mean he should be punished. He's not harming anyone(except maybe the people volunterily buying it, but IMO they are harming themselves, he isn't harming them). growing Tobacco is legal yet it is far more harmful.

Which eye? They have 11 of them you know.

yes, but its slightly more difficult than that for statement.
Sounds more like the RIAA to me.
I was referring more to the insults and namecalling than the message itself.
Not exactly.
if your gov't says, "Hey vendor you can only charge X amount for this product," and the product costs Y; who do you think is making up the difference?
Noone; There will be a shortage.

Try voting twice. It won't let you do so from the same IP address.

Not if that somebody is SCO. Not even the Nazis deserve to be compared to SCO.
No only to punish them for not giving information.
Secondly, is DUI a criminal, or civil, offense ?
It's criminal; You can get jail time for it.
Their real meaning probably.
No its not. It requires energy and thus raises your electric bill by a fraction of a cent.
Considering that we claim to be a democracy, why should something that so many people do be illegal?
Essentially taking the breathalyser test can be testifying against yourself, as you are taking an action the results of which can be used in court.
I think he's more likely to say the kernel is useless without the rest of the OS.

Whats so important about my computer, that they can't plot it without the computer?
If you cut the depth off completely it would store no data, and you couldn't even interact with it.
It's not worth buying a lawyer for, let alone the time you'll spend in court. Even a minimum wage job is better than suing someone for that little.
