It's a sad state of affairs that pretty much any post requires disclaimers that should be self-evident. Too many pedantic assholes out there on the Internet.
I have never liked the Catholic church. Still don't. That said, Pope Francis is a completely awesome guy.
You don't have to like an institution to like specific people within that institution. That's something fundies don't understand (though they are obviously not the only ones unable to understand that very important distinction).
"Article IV, Section 1: Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof."
Because it brings up the same counter-forces to an issue of rights. Fundamentalists are opposed to anything that is not fundamentalist, and they deserve to be legally bludgeoned with their own shoe.
Fundamentalists are diametrically opposed to equality. The law is supposed to work for them, and nobody with whom they disagree (being almost everyone but another like-minded fundamentalist). They deserve to be bludgeoned with the same club they use on others.
Well, if they have outbreaks of mumps, it'll definitely curtail the familial spread of this sort of ignorance. I'm all for that sort of Darwinian solution.
Numerous companies have claimed it's their work, and have claimed that it's ended up in the hands of other companies who are now claiming it's their work.
If true, that's textbook plagiarism, just at a corporate level. It's also fraud, but plagiarism has always been a form of fraud.
So did you stop believing in Intel after their bugged Pentiums rolled off the line? ARM only from now on, until they screw something up?
Just because a company has a product that flopped doesn't mean they won't ever produce anything good again. While it's fine to not be excited until it's actually hit shelves, writing them off for the end of time seems a bit premature.
The second part seems to be what is happening (and it incorporates the entire first paragraph, plus the missing bits to qualify as plagiarism). They're taking IP wholesale, delivering it to another company, and that company claims it's their own work.
This is becoming less true. The US has a history (increasing in usage) of threatening the press with jail time if they publish anything truly damaging to the government.
Well, he didn't want to log in as root to issue insults, so it had to be done with sudo. He would be risking the security of his insult file otherwise.
A restaurant is not a public place. They can ask anyone to leave for any reason they so choose. Wearing Google Glass inside is no more a right than bringing in food from outside is a right.
This asshole would not have been embarrassed if he didn't act like an asshole. He was quietly and politely asked to take it off, at which point he threw a tantrum. This is not socially acceptable behavior, and he deserves every ounce of humiliation he's now getting. Maybe he won't act like a complete asshole next time, and will instead either take it off or quietly leave and never frequent the establishment again. His rights were not violated. Only a complete moron thinks that they have the right to bring anything they desire into a private establishment. Fucking entitled little bastard.

Well, of God and Satan, only one lied to Eve. The liar wasn't Satan.

To be fair, seat belts on jets are more for identification of corpses than safety (though they can help in the case of explosive decompression).

Sure they can. Nobody has to specify the reason for asking a patron to leave.

Hand-lacing is definitely the way to go if you want good-looking cable runs. A proper fully-laced cable ladder can be awe-inspiring.
I fail completely to understand what is patronizing about TapeCutter's comment. Can you elaborate?
Trans people must all be bards.

I'd pick it up and place it directly in front of their door.
I've always owned dogs, and if you don't have enough time to be responsible for your dog, you shouldn't own one.
The response does not in any way point to psychopathy. Abdication of responsibility is another matter, however.
Except we have this thing called "presumption of innocence." Sometimes, anyway.
I agree completely. It's amazing to see how many assholes there are in this thread, who think it is the responsibility of everyone but the dog owner.
No, you're a useless novelty. Cats are incredibly useful, both in rodent control and in helping people reduce stress. Very therapeutic animals.
Being asked to leave based on being a member of a protected class is an exception that shouldn't have to be specified.

As someone who will almost inevitably end up going out in debilitating pain, I agree completely with Mr. Adam's sentiments.
