I was replying to the parent of the "minor possession guy", countering the claim that a criminal offense must cause someone else the loss of their rights or freedom. Mere possession of any quantity of drugs (or, for that matter, a ton of unlicensed explosives that you're not planning to actually use for a terrorist act) doesn't meet that standard. But it's still criminal.
Actually, no. My car's not a piece of crap, and has no noticable power drain when I turn on the A/C.
I did have a Subaru 10 years ago on which the effect was so bad that you could practically stop the car without the brakes by turning on the A/C, no no car I've driven more recently has had this problem.
The more you learn, the less you understand, apparently.
The Constitution says that anything not explicitly mentioned in it can be regulated by the states (if it's not regulated by your state, then yes, it's your right even if it's not explicitly granted to you anywhere). The states regulate driving.
The asshole behind them shouldn't be tailgating. Don't blame the cameras or the law. If you can't deal with the person in front of you stopping suddenly, you shouldn't be driving.
So if you're in possession of 20 pounds of marijuana, and get thrown in prison for the rest of your life, that's a penalty for breaking a code and not a felony?
You have no understanding whatsoever about law. Go away, troll.
Honestly, it wouldn't bother me so much if Thuderbird would just remember that I told it to never ask me again if it should be the default. I rarely click on mailto: links anyway. I'm fairly convinced it's a Windows bug I'm seeing, not a Thunderbird bug, in the actual setting of the default, because doing it in IE doesn't work, either. But Thunderbird should at least be able to honor the "stop asking me" box.
They should just print out the binary diffs to the previous version and mail them to you so you can make the changes in a hex editor. Do you really trust their installer application to make the changes to your computer?
The Windows version of Thunderbird still won't set itself properly as the default email reader, and it still ignores the "Do not display this dialog again" checkbox in the dialog that asks if I want to make it the default email application every single time I launch it.
Yeah, I know, ignore the release version and install the nightly build. Which is the same fix suggested when 1.0.2 was released.
"You may use this for non-commercial purposes". Then, if anyone does, don't sue them.
Are you fearing that someone else will try to sue someone for using your works?
The provisions of paragraph 2 shall exclude patentability of the subject-matter or activities referred to in that provision only to the extent to which a European patent application or European patent relates to such subject-matter or activities as such.
They're not "actually illegal" in Europe; they can still be granted by national patent offices. As the person you were replying to stated.
If your browser lets javascript code erase your hard drive, you've got bigger problems than worrying about whether Google is going to do something malicious.
Geobloggers doesn't seem to have been broken, so I'd image it will take them longer to bother with making it API based than it will take the ones that did break.
Then you'll love the article I'm submitting about how a nuclear warhead didn't detonate in your living room yesterday, destroying your TiVo along with most of the city you live in.

I bet every computer you've ever owned has been turned into a spam zombie because you didn't think updating your OS was worth it.

Don't forget to zap your PRAM too.
More than 10% of planets with moons observable from Earth have moons as large as Earth's. That's not "very rare".
Napster did the same thing. Is this supposed to be new and interesting because it happened in Australia?
If some homeless guy is sitting next to your car and I ask him if I can have it, is it a crime if I take it?

You obviously have no idea whatsoever what a pronoun is.
BTW, what the hell are you doing reading Slashdot instead of studying biochemistry or something, you hypocritical asshat?

ESPN Radio has plenty of advertising. It works just fine without the listener being near any sort of video display device at all.
Brain imaging technology has really progressed since the foundation of Discordianism. It's quite easy these days.
No.
Sure, but who wants to claim they live in Michigan or Utah, too?
You're citing a rant by Courtney Love as reliable information about Congressional procedure?
