Honestly, I'd rather have drugs stay illegal (except maybe pot) and get legalized prostitution. Some drugs have a greater effect on one's free will than others. Society would benefit more from have Firefly's Inara than a $10 crackwhore in more ways than one.
Nice response. I'm going to sit and soak in it for a bit.
The entire book isn't that sensitive, just specific details, such as names. And again, they're just buying the unedited/sanitized version. Granted, that only applies if you care to believe the official story.
Let's pretend you think there's a conspiracy at work to make you miserable. Let's pretend that "conspiracy" was only one person. Was there a conspiracy? Yes. Why? Because your paranoia created one. Feel free to provide a more suitable word.
Nope. Random searches shouldn't be legal. It's unconstitutional. I think that a "conspiracy" can involve as little as a single person in the right place. Depending on the level of addictiveness, drugs would be ok legalized. I think banning alcohol was a mistake we didn't quite learn from as a society, but others may have adopted as a way of getting funds for "other" projects.
Back on topic, it's a damn difficult line to walk. Protect too much and people can get away with murder (literally). Protect too little and it's the information works against us. Remember the incident during the Iraq invasion (no WMDs, just a chance to prove GB Sr wrong) when Geraldo started drawing out battle plans, complete with locations, for the cameras? Did that information benefit the public more than it put those soldiers at risk of getting killed in an ambush?
I'm sorry you posted AC. It sounds like you have enough background information, most of which I've never learned or forgotten, to make this a really interesting thread.
I fail and read the article. The book will still be publicly available after things like specific names and other sensitive bits of information get sanitized. By not doing so, lives and missions are placed in jeopardy with little real benefit for society. The publisher will be releasing the book for the public, but the DOD is compensating them for the loss they'd incur from not being able to sell the original printed products.
Does the public have the right to all the information? Sure, in time. There are procedures under the Freedom of Information Act to get it later on, like when revealing it will cause minimal damage (and probably just PR damage). Demanding to know it right now just because of curiosity? Would you like identifying information to be posted on 4chan? There are many "reasonable and normal" people out there who would react in the same way as them.
Why CMU thinks they should be showing advertisements on what is already an advertisement for their school is beyond me.
The ads I get aren't for or from CMU and the.wmv download from the official website is disabled. Those are just the normal ads for vids hosted on youtube. At some point they had to look at the following options. 1) They can either pay for their own costs for a bunch of geek rubberneckers or 2) have youtube foot the bill, manage bandwidth issues and send them a check for served ads. Why wouldn't they with option #2?
Personally I gained very much love for Sony music and support their efforts to end piracy. My Sony PS3, VIAO and music collection can only be pried from my cold dead hands until next updates come. Then my Sony branded credit card comes out to buy from the online store. Express shipping most great!
Unfortunately the label is occasionally applied too broadly and in ways that probably weren't intended. Even if the charges and label get cleared, the financial costs would be great and the damage to one's reputation may not be repairable. It's hard enough to find people that RTFA, much less the follow up stories.
Mr. PACKARD: Well, we have a bookmark feature. So, for instance, if you get to a choice and - you can bookmark that page. And then if you go on, you make your choice and you go on to various other adventures and you finally come to an ending, but you want to see what would have happened if you go and made the other choice, you can go back there. But otherwise, you know, you get to the end of the story. We don't want to make it - we didn't want to make it so you just could flip back and forth aimlessly like some kind of computer game. We wanted to make it where there's a real story, and it goes on and on surprisingly long and - or usually, unless you come to a bad ending.
Oh good. I was worried there wouldn't be a way to do this. I vaguely remembering keeping two to three fingers firmly inserted in various sections of the book to backtrack if I made bad choices. I wonder if my imaginary/. girlfriend appreciates what I learned by doing this in the 3rd grade >.>
Well, if the types of folks you're worried about are busy masturbating to 3D porn, you should be happy they're further reducing their chances of reproduction.

A true notion, indeed. Would the health and safety of the neighbors be sufficient reason? Ensuring you have recourse when cheated? Granted, all additional powers should be granted sparingly and on a case-by-case basis, but I know some private citizens don't balance their freedoms with taking responsibility for what their actions cause. Some things also need to be done with the others in mind. In the vein of this thread, even legal pools get neglected and end up becoming mosquito infested. In some areas this is a real threat to public health. As I recall, the US if mostly ok for this, but things like the West Nile Virus and Dengue Fever pop up occasionally. Dengue Fever is still a concern in Hawaii. Cemeteries don't even water in vases left at tombstones.

Better a dumb phone than a dumb phoner.
Somebody makes sure that lowly IT workers get served up with non-compete clauses in contracts, but the guy at the top didn't?

Will the British porn industry be so daring?

Well... I think we're that much closer to a closed loop for consumption. Food and drink, for you, by you.
Unfortunately the label is occasionally applied too broadly and in ways that probably weren't intended.

Nope. AC has a time machine for when ancient Chinese sex action.

Dear Penthouse,
I never thought I'd be writing to you, but I just got this new app for my iPad...
Curses. Screen edges needed for scrolling. Maybe sleep would be better than a quick game...

Thanks. I have a Christmas gift for my brother now.
I remember my old brick of a cell phone back in the 90s. No published exploits yet. Sometimes simpler is better...
Oh, no doubt. It's one of those things that affect how much I'd want to live somewhere.
Well, that's true enough. But it's the aftermath I'm pondering more than the cause.
A true notion, indeed. Would the health and safety of the neighbors be sufficient reason? Ensuring you have recourse when cheated?

Balance is tricky.
Missed that you were looking for that spark of reasoning. Hmmm. Well, why have them be non-mandatory (as they seem to be for this thread)?
