Because it's impossible to secure 3,000 miles of border, and he would just sneak back in if that's all we did.
Not if they're dead.
Seriously - why do we allow this? If illegal immigrants consider the penalties to be acceptable, the problem is the penalties aren't strong enough to persuade them.
It's not like the penalties are an entrance fee, where once you pay it, we're all good.
Islam is a peaceful religion, that's why followers just went out of their way to do this.
There are about 500,000 Muslims in Australia.
1 of them is committing this crime.
And there seem to be about 499,999 who claim terrorists don't represent true Islam, but don't clearly, publicly articulate why the terrorists' theology is less supported by the Koran than their more peaceful interpretations.
Regardless of the decision, I think it is good that people are forced to argue why.
There are lots of interesting philosophical questions, and we generally don't have the time (or skill) to tackle them all. Why do you feel this one is especially important?
We should hold ISP's responsible for lies told by politicians. If a politician is caught lying three times, ISP's should refuse to carry any internet traffic involving their campaign ads.
I've noticed that guys how program in niche areas (such as computational acoustics) manage to stick with it as long as they want, if they really know what they're doing. Their domain expertise trumps ageism in the job market. OTOH, it's also a small job market, which affects things like where they can live.
Slashdot, will you please end the fucking obsession with feminist gripes. I'm still at the point where I'll yell as you to focus on things we actually care about. But eventually, I'm sure some of us will simply be done with your Dicey site.
Still, when the NSA wanted access to Google's information, they went for tapping fiber optic cables instead of hitting them with National Security Letters.
Not sure we can know it was an either/or situation.
A few university set-ups in Germany tried this, (e.g. Hamburg), albeit probably with far simpler specifications as it was some years ago. They had surprisingly frequent problems with birds; birds perching on the towers, birds flying between the source/sink, uzw. Packet loss got enough at one point to contact a local falconer to see if his bird of prey could scare them away. It turned out that the local bakery was too much of a draw. There was whimsical talk of adding a TCP/IP error for bakery janitorial events. I believe they eventually just went with fiber pulled through the sewers..ja-da
Fiber optic is trivial to tap. Almost as easy as analog phone lines.
Anything is easy to tap, at least in the U.S.
Step 1. Mislead a FISA court about the need. After all, those being tapped will never find out, let alone have a chance to contest the evidence. It's a secret.
Step 2. Find some ISP in the communications path, and hit them with a National Security Letter. Because, you know, fuck the Fourth Amendment. Threaten them with going to jail for even bringing up the issue in court. Again, because, well, fuck being the land of the free, since it's no longer the home of the brave.
Step 3. Do whatever you want. If it violates the law, you can count on some combination of sovereign immunity, prosecutorial descretion, and Presidential pardons to make sure you never face justice while on this earth.

So it's okay for me to go live in Switzerland without any documentation? Sweet!

the Western world has to ask itself it can tolerate this dangerous ideology to spread within our societies
Please tell me you can see how dangerous a concept this is?
Your right! the GP's idea is dangerous and cannot be tolerated!

Because WW2 involved Hitler. Godwin wins, every time.
Is that really true? I've wondered about that. It sounds like criminal theft to me.
You seem to be confusing science with metaphysics and ethics. A surprisingly common mistake.

"—a controversial tactic that security experts say could be exposing the general population to criminal hackers."
Well yeah, the article said it was for the NSA.

Begging the question actually means assuming that something is true, in the course of trying to prove it.

I heard the first attempt was with Chuck Norris discs, but they burnt holes through the panels.
I weep that I have no mod points.
Pick any random university and go ask its foreign students how hard it is to get a green card.
I'm reasonable sure Obama just emphasized that green cards aren't important. It's having puppy-dog eyes that matters.

Hell, that's s reason for us not to follow the discussion. Seriously.
Dice-related posts are like diversity hires. They may be good, but people are assuming that they weren't picked for their quality.
As a parent, it makes me more willing to buy some CD's for me kids, when I don't have the time to personally screen the lyrics first.

I knew it! AC is actually Wolverine!
uh, their name is on the voter rolls at the polling place?
you make it sound like voter fraud is an actual thing.
You make it sound like it's not.
How do you know the person at the polling place is actually legally allowed to vote?
We could implement some sort of credentialing system.
I don't think Democrats would allow that. It's apparently racist.

And don't forget apk - I'm sure he wants to explain that the best way of blocking entire TLDs is using hosts files...
I know Alex P. Keaton was a know-it-all, but I'm not sure he cares about this topic.
