your 100% right about drugs being everyones problem. not only that but courts go easy on drug affected offenders like it's some kind of excuse.
i think your a bit off the mark about why employers want facebook passwords - the honest truth, is they have no idea why they want it or what to do with it. some manager with too much time on his hands saw something about facebook on tv, then raised it as an urgent issue at a meeting. a bunch of other managers not wanting to look the fool for not knowing agreed with him, and bam, you have it as part of the interview process.
people at the top of most institutions really are this kind of clueless.
one of the best video's i've seen was of them going to a soldiers funeral and finding 100's of bikers waiting for them.
one day a grieving relative will pull out a gun and blow the WBC cock suckers away, and not a single person will be sorry. in fact it'd be a golden opportunity for some delicious payback - imagine turning up at THEIR funerals with those same tactics?
spam filters don't work?? that's news to me because i haven't seen spam on my gmail account in years, and i've posted on public forums with that thing.
israel should never have been created it's true and they shouldn't be pushing arab's out of their own land. HOWEVER, the fact that you see not killing other people as some kind of condition imposed on you talks a lot to what a bunch of savages the current palestinian regime is.
It's not a question of age, but experience, and the 2 are vastly different things.
paying a wet behind the ears kid more then an experienced developer is just wrong no matter what "hot" technology they claim to know, because it takes YEARS to work up what i would call an acceptable level of knowledge in any language to command a high rate of pay. If this kid if right out of college then he's probably not worth much. sorry gen Y, but you've got lots to learn.
I'm in my 30's and it's only been in the last few years that i've had the experience to command large salaries, that's just how the world is - it takes time to learn shit.
the issue i see with a large scale mining of the moon (and shooting it into space), is what will happen with us changing the mass of the moon? I get that it's huge and we would only take a few % off it, but let's never say never here and consider in 100 years if we removed 1% of the moons mass, would this affect processes on earth?
in a country with welfare and public assistance there's NO EXCUSE for thieving bastards. they are simply scum, and we are all better off without them on the streets.
i don't know how it works in the USA, but here in australia that's not how it works with mining companies. here and in most other 1st world countries miners have to pay environmental bonds to cover the cost of clean up if they walk away. they only get part of that back if they perform full rehab works.
of course if your living in some bum fucked 3rd world country where your officals are corrupt, well your fucked and need to fix your country.
good, fuck mom and pop store owners who rape you in the ass with high prices. as long as anyone is free to open a competing store, it's fine.
all the snobby fucktards who think they are too good to shop at wal-mart can't be as clever as they think they are if they are paying more just to avoid a wal-mart.
couldn't have said it better myself. the only thing i'd add is 99% of these "idea's men" have terrible poorly thought out idea's to begin with anyway, much like a lot of the code out there.
the only reason ASSange is doing it this way is to extend his moment in the spot light. how do we even know the information he is releasing is real? I refuse, unlike many of you, to take off my skeptic's hat just because it's wikileaks.
if you own a business and your wealthy from it, you've already paid a shit load more in tax personally and in company tax then was needed to cover your share of social expenses like schools.
i personally pay enough income tax to cover 2 people's social security and medical annually, so anyone claiming i'm not pulling my weight can go fuck themselves.
banksy is a fucking idiot. south korea is an affluent nation with all the mod cons you or i have. making 1/3 the US salary doesn't mean shit, it's not an apples for apples comparison. but go right ahead don't let facts get in the way of your blind hate and ignorance.

they give politicians the ammo they need to make amendments curtailing freedom of speech - in that respect they are very dangerous.

while i think self control can be learnt, there is an element in there that you just can't defeat with will power alone.

all pressure vessels need testing on a regular basis. you can bet regulators won't miss any opportunity to regulate....

anything they release, take it with a truck load of salt.
so he's a professional student? the real world is very very different to what you study. i see it all the time with grad engineers

like the internet? what seems pointless to you can end up changing the world.
you seem to miss the fact the US and it' allies outclass it's enemies..... because of nukes.
this site has lost the right to call MS on the FUD they do spread, because slashdot is guilty of as much, if not worse FUD of it's own.
And people wonder why global warming isn't being taken seriously by the people that matter....
