Duh. And data recovery companies probably get a good bit of business from law enforcement - who would be very upstet at such a security breach. So, duh, they win 40 dollars and some lame title and lose millions in business.
But it doesn't matter anyway. My friend's house got broken into while his mother was in bed. They were right in her bedroom and stole her purse which had 3000.00 in it. They got prints off a GLASS tabletop and sent them off, apparently to the cornfield. It's been nine months and no one has replied.
It seems very unlikely the police are going ot be interested in you unless they strongly suspect you have been very, very bad. Perhaps if its a very high profile case or you have enough money they actually stand to recover their investment in the investigation they might actually do some of this high end stuff. Most people simply aren't worth more than "high end" script kiddie efforts at data recovery, so it's all moot anyway.
The average pregnancy ratio might be close to 51:49 (with no intervention women outnumber men from birth) but to say it's an even split worldwide is just ignorant. Some cultures value women so little female babies are aborted and so the balance has become so off kilter even WITHOUT polygamy that many men go without wives.
Another example: in the FSU, some states became completely out of balance as a direct result of the Russian war with afghanistan: so many (then) young men went off to war and never came back, there is an abundance of unattached women in their mid 30's to 40s.
And "better off from a liberal western point of view" doesn't really mean much, even to many westerners. One of the biggest problems with those "liberal westerners" is that they always seem to think they know more about being happy (and everything else) and have no reservations about inflicting those values upon others no matter how unwelcome.
Sadder still, one of the fleshy kind. Comprehensive economic plan that will create jobs? Yeah, like every other republican of the last century... but, we don't need more low paying service jobs, you stupid fuck.
Did anyone say that schools should teach science and nothing but science?
Yes. Apparently you have nto read all the posts.
So, like... it's not a strawman... and stuff.
Try not to be such a cliche.
The issue is what gets taught in science lessons - are you seriously suggesting that all views are equally valid, and the reason why one might be correct "doesn't matter"?
It doesnt to the people who choose not to believe certain things. And to deny them their thoughts and beliefs denies them their fundamental human rights. So, like.. fuck your PC bullshit. Stop being an elitist hypocrite.
Right, so go and do that. I don't see anyone arguing against homeschooling. But keep it out of the schools - Creationists are wanting to get it taught to other children too.
Has nothing to do with homeschooling, chief. Again: the constitutional background of this "separation" is NOT one of federalism. The only way the federal government has of even attempting to tell local schools what to do RIGHT NOW is if they accept federal money. And guess what? Many don't. And guess what else? They have prayers opening pretty much any meeting... now, try to stop it.
Where in the constitution does it declare an absolute separation between church and state? Why is the day of the senate began with a prayer but schoolkids should not be allowed this CHOICE?
Teaching RELIGION to kids would go a long way to bridging the gaps in this country. I have studied all sorts of religions but I presently practice none of them - an agnostic education can and should include study of the various faiths simply because we, as americans, NEED to understand a little about the other cultures we are expected to live alongside. We have black studies and women studies and uyet when it comes to religion - THE single issue that divides and unites more than any other - we expect children to somehow learn tolderance by being kept in ignorance.
How can you argue for better education and then in the same breath say kids should not be well educated? Learning something AND something else does not mean they get taught neither - it means they learn BOTH and are better equipped to decide for themselves.
Here's some dangerous reasoning for ya: Science is all that be proven and therefore is the only thing that should be taught.
Like it or not, BELIEF is what unites people - incvluding those who choose to NOT believe... in god, or a flat earth, or that we went to the moon. Don't matter. Belief is a fundamental human right.
This is what amazes me: all the people who rip on people of faith for their insistence on being heard while the whole time insisting their view is the only correct one because... well, it doesnt matter why. Pot, kettle, black.
BTW I am a pretty strict constitutionalist, so before you go blathering about "separation" of this and that, go back and read Jefferson again: his attitude was that the COMMUNITIES decide what is taught to their kids - right down to the level of individual (ie if I choose to raise my kids ignorant with no school attendance, this is my right).
People have the fundamental right to choose whatever ignorant beliefs they prefer. Intolerance of intolerance is still intolerance, people. Two wrongs do not make you right.
This is why I gave up on joomla, like, three hours after I installed it on a test server: from the joomla civicrm "demonstration" site...

Course I dunno why I should expect mroe from them than from Microsoft. I can't even log into hotmail without using their "secure" portal. It seems like "web2.0" is shorthand for "screw the turtles, it's houses of cards all the way down!"
it's a book about using an open source cms and I can't download it? So I have to wait for it to be delivered, then I have to keep up with it? I have to sort through it on my desk without using common search tools to find what I am looking for?
A judge cannot throw down a guilty verdict if there is a holdout on the jury. If there is extraordinary evidence he might eject a juror, but thats also going to be hard if its simply a matter of "this juror wont vote with the others."
A new trial in a criminal case means collecting new evidence and presenting new facts - so perhaps (in this case, for example) they might show the person actually did distribute the images to others rather than simply commit a thought crime. Other than that, there is no way to read a juror's mind, and so it would be rather hard to "prove" anything.
By the way, it didnt take me long to find this bit that shows yes, virginia, jury nullification CAN change the law...
Jury nullification was introduced into America in 1735 in the trial of John Peter Zenger, Printer of The New York Weekly Journal. Zenger repeatedly attacked Governor William Cosby of New York in his journal. This was a violation of the seditious libel law, which prohibited criticism of the King or his appointed officers. The attacks became sufficient to bring Zenger to trial. He clearly was guilty of breaking the law, which held that true statements could be libelous. However Zenger's lawyer, Andrew Hamilton, addressed himself to the jury, arguing that the court's law was outmoded. Hamilton contended that falsehood was the principal thing that makes a libel. It took the jury only a few minutes to nullify the law and declare Zenger not guilty. Ever since, the truth has been a defense in libel cases.
Now, show us a study of people NOT CONVICTED OF SEX CRIMES indicating how many look at porn, how many look at violent porn, how many look at child porn - how many find images of children "pleasurable" in some way, how many find images of teens arousing, etc.
Find one. Just one.
What difference does it make how I view monogamy? Does it make me a rapist or a child molester because I think monogamy is a stupid, impractical idea that few (even among those who claim it) actually practice? Does my having fantasies about rape make me a criminal? I've fantasized about killing people, does that make me a murderer?
This "study" is from the same folks who claim spanking kids cause sexual problems later in life - Straus, for one, is a "domestic violence" ACTIVIST who has campaigned for decades on this agenda. You might as well be citing Andrea Dworkin.
Finding a needle in a haystack isn't a difficult challenge at all when you move the haystack to a needle factory.
1) No. In a jury you decide guilt or innocence based on what YOU think is correct. If you disagree with the law, "jury activism" is a legitimate form of protest. Difference being, if you deadlock the jury you can actually do some good.
2) so what? Prove your stupid assertion. By your logic he already caused "trauma" to those kids the first time he fantasized about them. He had pictures of kids he knew. Unless he was distributing this hackneyed concoction there was no "trauma" involved except the trauma he now faces in prison, convicted of a thought crime.
Jeezus, where do you people get this nonsense? You sound like one of those NWO conspiracy nuts who watch that nutcase on youtube with his "they want to rule us all and repress us" claptrap.
Simple fact: poor people can't buy shit. If these are capitalists then they know its in their best interest to foster a society of wealth. Why does the US foster oppressive regimes? Because they buy things like fighter jets and tanks to help them oppress their people - just like china buying computers and routers. It has nothing to do with some mad scientist conspiracy of an "elite few" to rule the world and everything to do with simple human nature - greed.
with... flags! Those evil terrorists might unfurl a flag and kill... no one!
It's sad the tone of this article from CANADA so readily equates acts of terrorism with the possibility of someone simply unfurling a tibetan flag. Is it just the english speaking countries that have gone completely batshit insane, or is liberty actually enadangered EVERYWHERE in the world now?
I'm opposed to the use of mono because, so far, everything I've seen that uses it sucks utterly. Banshee comes closest to being cool but it doesn't work any better than the better supported rhythmbox. And f-spot... jeezus, what a lethargic clusterfuck of unusability - it's like it was designed by high school boys in their extra lab time.
You imply people should accept using buggy software. I use linux and do accept some bugginess with certain applications, but no way am I going to live with a browser that crashes frequently (when I was using ubuntu 8.04 it would happen as much as ten times a day) while often taking down XORG with it! No way, nu-uh.
FF2 works rock solid with my machine. Why should I use something that causes aggravation with the most simple task? I think it's ridiculous that canonical should have used such a cheesy piece of crap for a browser in the first place - one more example of piling on feastures without fixing the problems first.
Anyway, I never had ff2 lock up my desktop, and it pretty much never crashes. the closest it comes to crashing is when flash locks up - and that problem was easy enough to fix by adding a KAPOW button on my tooltray that executes "killall npviewer.bin" This is an effective fix that is all but impossible using ff3 with its penchant for killing xwindows...
This is a perfect example of why, I think, this new version of ubuntu seenms to be getting so many raves: because the "reviews" are aimed at WINDOWS users - people whose experience with "computers" has been utterly tainted to the point they regard it as normal for one to have regular desktop freezes, application crashes, and other sorts of general suckitude.
So far as I can see they finally did one or two things right, but I know for a fact some of the fixes were began so late in the development cycle (check the buzilla thread on nautilus thumbnailing, for example - the one that goes back TWO YEARS but started showing signs of new activity in march) there could in no way have been sufficient time to actually check the fixes for regressions or new errors. So, while Nautilus has finally stopped sucking up virtually ALL memory when asked to display a few folders containing a large number of images, it also updates much slower, thumbnails slower, has some sort of bug that prevents the location banner from updating until the folder has been completely enumerated, etc. And this is but one example of the new suckiness that replaces the old suckiness. Yes, its nice they finally fixed this two year old problem - too bad no one could get around to it until a week or two before code freeze.
I've been an ubuntu user some time now, and I generally find it better than the rest. But I stil find their QC to utterly lack. It would be wonderful to see a new release hit the shelves without a thousand new ways to suck. Since moving from 7.10 to 8.04 I have rediscovered the reboot due to regular (once a day or more) X freezes - usually when I go to play a stinking movie. This is a degree fo badness to which I have become totally unaccustomed and which no one should have to regard as "normal."
Thank god I still have 7.10 on my thumb drive and can get back a properly working system within just a couple hours - so, yeah, its still better than windows. But that's already such a low benchmark, who cares? The question is: is the latest version of ubuntu better than the last version? Sadly, that answer is almost always a very sharp "NO!"
You forgot one very important point: Bob, who doesn't have health insurance (because he can't afford it, because he won't - or maybe because he once had lymphatic cancer and no no one WILL ensure him) he ends up either living essentially hand to mouth or hiding whatever assets he manages to accumulate in trusts or offshore - because the hospital DOES want their money and if he has any assets they will pursue him. Collection agencies will destroy his credit. He won't be able to buy a home, which means he'll be economically marginalized and alienated. Even if he's motivated he'll never be able to contribute the way he would if he hadn't been bankrupted by the health care system.
The notion that people are showing up at emergency rooms for health care simply because they are too cheap to buy health insurance is political propaganda.
