That's an incredibly dangerous attitude because it completely destroys the 4th Amendment. The consequence of your view is that the police could go on any arbitrary fishing expedition, performing any search they want whatsoever. If they find something, it was magically justified. If they don't find anything, the person being searched has no standing to complain. Either way, there is no consequence for the police for performing unreasonable searches, and therefore the entire requirement of "reasonable suspicion" is utterly destroyed.
If you just hadn't thought your position through, I hope you are now enlightened. If you still think your idea is a good one, please move to some totalitarian country that suits your ideology instead of corrupting the US and ruining it for the rest of us.
Any non-retarded engineer can understand ROI with a two minute explanation.
Any engineer would have spent a semester learning all about it (probably in the same project management class where he learned about engineering economics, "value engineering," Gantt charts etc.).
CS majors might not know about it, but that's because they're not engineers. (I know this because I have a CS degree and a real engineering degree.)
I don't care or have any interest in the private fact of the others
Really? Not even a rival, like a coworker with whom you were competing for a promotion or a political opponent? Not somebody who wronged you, and against whom you want revenge? Not someone holding beliefs with which you disagreed, who therefore "deserves" to be punished? None of those things?
Well in that case, congratulations! You're not a sociopath.
But some people are.
You don't need privacy because you're wrong and you want to hide your guilt; you need privacy because sooner or later some Machiavellian asshole is going to twist your innocent actions into the perception of wrongness, and then use that perception against you.
I don't know a single person in real life that likes using Microsoft products.
I found one (a coworker). I was incredulous when he claimed the other day that Windows Phone was better than Android or iPhone, and that Microsoft audited the software in their store for security issues.
I actually think this is an interesting question. Overhere in the UK the cops need some sort of reasonable suspicion to perform a breath test but if you fail there is zero chance of you getting off the crime by saying they did not have that reasonable suspicion. This effectively means that they can stop anyone they like for a breath test since there is very little comeback.
The way you tell if the suspicion was "reasonable" is to explain it to a judge and/or jury and see if they agree.
The argument is still good because, as I stated, SV is expensive no matter what the tax breaks.
No it's not, because cost of living is irrelevant. Large companies pull the same shit against cities everywhere, regardless of how expensive living there is. (For example, Atlanta has a low cost of living, but the Atlanta Braves are in the midst of moving out to the suburbs due to this kind of subsidy BS.) If this kind of behavior is wrong anywhere, then it's equally wrong everywhere.
it requires you (under penalty of perjury) to assert that you are the copyright holder or an agent of the copyright holder of the (allegedly) infringed material
Except the entire point of TFA is that Warner Bros is claiming it doesn't.
If you read TFA, Boston uses automatic license plate readers (ALPRs). Since each readout is logged and timestamped, this log data correlated with location history for cruisers could be used to build a massive location history database with very good coverage.
Then keep the cop GPS, but get rid of the ALPRs.
The question mostly remains, then, do Boston cops typically drive their cruisers home, or leave them at the station and drive their personal cars home?
Forgive me if my knowledge of earth science is lacking, but don't the chunks of crust that get subducted tend to turn to blobs of magma and eventually erupt from the adjacent volcanoes?
I realize we're talking about geologic timescales here (and I'm not sure, but I think the half-life of the waste in question is a few orders of magnitude shorter), but we should probably do some quick arithmetic to make sure we're not creating (extra-)radioactive lava...
For example, a hundred years ago, it might have been fine to say "buy" in a contract to refer to someone getting something, but thanks to the last hundred years of legal cases, there are many ways to avoid that particular term. You could trade for goods other than money. You could arrange a sequence of gifts. The exchange could be interrupted by a sudden death. Part of the exchange could be specified in a will. Once the trade is made, the items bought could come with attached expectations or conditions, or it could be part of a package deal.
No, see, we all understand that. The issue is that that itself is the problem!
The entire point of these "make the laws shorter" ideas is to simplify or abolish all those exceptions.

Are you the one to blame for those damn plastic clam shell packages?

Treating a disease is a practice, but diagnosing it is science.

See, now that's what PTO is for.
At this point, I can only assume the IRS has gotten everybody's bank account information straight from the bank.

You forgot this one and this one.

If it's running Windows, I want it to be a Tablet PC and therefore come with a pressure-sensitive pen.
According to FDroid, Droidwall got abandoned, forked and renamed to AFWall+.
It's a sailfish!
Which country's Netflix do you want?
That's a feature, not a bug.
Mine is called "don't hook the TV to the network."
Then keep the cop GPS, but get rid of the ALPRs.
They should be doing the latter anyway.
Everyone is on the list.
It's not that we think the NSA can brute force SSL; we think the NSA has compromised the certificate authorities.

FDroid is better than any "store."
LOL, as if the Republicans don't love the prison-industrial complex too...
