The GP was NOT talking about enemy combatants but about this guy:

He's now suing the govts involved and will likely get a big payout as the authorities' treatment of him was totally abhorrent.
The main difference is that in Canada/NZ etc these laws haven't actually passed yet. They are proposed by industry shills and then slapped down by non-bought and paid for legislators. In the US the latter don't exist...
Sorry to be offtopic but its been at least a month since I've seen a soviet russia meme on here. You know what... I really didn't miss it. Its hard to believe how long that shitty joke has lasted.
What you fail to realise is that TOS, EULA etc is a CIVIL contract and breaking it shouldn't result in CRIMINAL charges. This whole prosecution is a joke. If they don't have enough evidence or can't charge her under existing harrassment laws then she hasn't acted criminally and trying to bend existing laws to punish her with something/anything out of vengenace is wrong - if a new law is needed then it can be implemented going forward - not retroactively.
Looking at another situation: you dislike and fire an employee out of malice. He then kills himself. Should you be charged for the death?? The firing was wrong and had he lived he could have sued for compensation in a civil court. Obviously getting fired could contribute to a depressed person's decision to kill themselves but you couldn't reasonably expect that to be the outcome.
On amazon or similar, search for SF masterworks. This is collection of some of the best sci-fi ever written and you're sure to find a few you haven't heard of.
Also if you're buying on the cheap, "The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke" is good value for money (almost 1000 pages of SF goodness by one of the greats for £10).

Why on earth was this modded insightful? The GP did not mention any specific groups at all. I believe he was referring to the human tendacy to dehumanise enemies or percieved enemies. I suppose its part of a greater adaptation to allow us to rationalise and justify doing horrible (but perhaps necessary) things.
When I was a kid i read an Ironman comic where he was using bacteria to make the computer chips for the suit. This was at least 15 yrs ago so the idea for this kind of technology has been around for a long time.

There already is a zombie protagonist game: Stubbs the Zombie No baby eating but there is violent killing of innocent civilians. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stubbs_the_Zombie_in_%22Rebel_Without_a_Pulse%22

You can run portable firefox from any drive. You probably just need to configure your proxy settings which you can get from IE.
I'm afraid the correct term is "verbing".

I would guess that numbers 2 and 3 account for 90% of educational success.

Mod parent up. GP's post was modded informative even though it gives 0 indication of how google is superior.

I like the Warren Buffet version:
