Key point being that you know they will use it in a crime. Fairly easy to argue that the individual was just playing what he perceived as online role playing. Of course, it is a little more complicated than that...
You can't actually copyright the description of a game nor can tweeting scores get you into trouble. You can get false warnings but that is all that they are. Copyright does not extend that far regardless of what the NFL and other groups say.
Perhaps not: "In 1942, the United States government ordered more than 110,000 men, women, and children to leave their homes and detained them in remote, military-style camps. Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten camps where Japanese American citizens and resident Japanese aliens were interned during World War II."
Affirmative action is one step towards fixing racial discrimination. Sorry if you can't admit that white folks in America grow up with privileges that others are not allowed.
Huh? Maybe you should proof read before posting. Asian Americans were put in concentration camps...not executed perhaps but the differences are minimal.
You are an idiot. All white folks (me included) have benefited from racism. Go volunteer some time in an urban school for a couple of weeks...oh, I'm sorry, did I suggest that you actually base your opinion on reality? Sorry...go put your hood back on and play your ps4/xbox-zer0
Harvard discriminates against those who are not rich. They recruit a certain percentage of "brilliant" minds...whatever that means...in attempt to associate brilliance with being rich. It is a simple logic fallacy...some people who go to Harvard are brilliant...some people who go to Harvard are rich....dumb person with no logic conclusion: Harvard graduates are rich and brilliant.
Chas is a racist jerk. End of story. He/she was modded up by a white hood. If slashdot had any character then they would delete his/her account. Could be Chas Bono for all I know.
You obviously do not understand the past, present, and future needs for affirmative action. I would further extend my challenge to say that you are probably a white troll from the suburbs.

Seriously? We still have problems with heroin junkies not knowing the risks of sharing needles and teens not knowing about the spread of HIV. I'm not justifying ignorance but our society needs to recognize that inequalities in our educational system have resulted in some dull tools in the shed with more rusting everyday. The mantra that "Ignorance is not an excuse" is not accepted by a large percentage of Americans. Disagree? Keep watching our cities burn.
Cut the old geeks some slack. Historically, all games were labeled as either MAC or PC on the box; there was no linux. So yeah, your not exactly wrong because everything you've seen defines your reality. On the flip side, everything us old geeks have seen defines ours and there's something to be said about how "Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance." Always, every time.
"It becomes easier to confuse your own knowledge with this external source."
As you move up the education food chain, its not about what you know but being able to cite about what others have discovered. In other words, no one cares what you think you know, i.e., your opinion. They care about you being able to prove what you know by referencing external sources of value.
You are correct. You do not know what does. You do not know what does are few a few grammar fundamentals as well. Perhaps you might want to do a simple Internet search before ranting online. Here's a quote from the World Health Organization:
The benefits of circumcision that accrue during childhood include a marked reduction in urinary-tract infections, which affect one in 100 uncircumcised boys, mainly during the first two years of life, and inflammation or infection under the foreskin, which affects around 17 in 100 uncircumcised boys before the age of 8. Circumcision reduces the risk of these problems by around 60%. In adulthood, circumcision has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection in men by 50% to 60%, and is now recommended by the World Health Organization as an HIV prevention strategy.(Goldman. (2013). Do the Health Benefits of Neonatal Circumcision Outweigh the Risks? wsj.com)
So yeah, not mutilation. Nothing wrong with being uncircumcised of course though I have to say that dealing with SMEGMA as an adult male sounds pretty gross.
Anyone saying that they are completely ripping you off (and OP especially) is full of crap. Not the best service when out of country but it really isn't that bad...you simply feel like they are trying to take you for a bit of a ride...nothing you should be surprised of when dealing with an American company.
Here's my flight path (last week mind you, got home last night): Chicago --> Frankfurt --> Istanbul --> Toronto --> Chicago I had Internet the whole time with less than 5 minutes of sync-up after arriving in each new country.
The only downsides to TMobile when out of country is that your data plan is slow and they try to get you to spend a silly amount for high speed Internet while in the foreign country. Calls in country are 0 (same as your normal plan) and calls to the US are 20 cents/minute which is silly but not horrible. Internet on phone is mediocre while out of country.
Want to complain about something? Focus upon the crappy airline food and lack of Internet access while on planes. Or better yet, focus upon the crappy people who don't know how to turn off their ringer on a plane. So many other problems in life centering around schmucks that don't appreciate how far we've advanced than rolling across the border with minimal fees. $750 is a bunch of crap...not reflective of actual TMobile customers. The 6 bucks to chat with my sister for 30 min from Istanbul is real though its my fault for not skyping or using facetime.
70-80th percentile on achievement tests on average? Many Home Schooled kids may do very well but I'm just a tad bit doubtful of your numbers. First off, neither resource provided meets the criteria of peer reviewed research. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, you will be hard pressed to find a research study that can accurately assess the number of students that are educated outside of our public and private educational systems. Long story short, if you are going to support your argument with "research" then you had best learn the difference between hippie-granola-jesus-crispie-treats and professional research articles.
Forget the research, ignore all of the imaginary educational progress that society claims to have made over the past few decades. The well educated mommy always knows best!
Nice observations, especially in the marketing scale! I would also add that if the wealthy didn't buy all those disproportionately priced items then no one would be making them, loss of jobs, etc. In some ways it reminds me of art benefactors. The benefactors simply throw a little disposable income away for a moment of pleasure. Not so different from buying a expensive bottle of Champagne at a restaurant, an expensive suit/purse, or other items associated with prestige.
So what about the STEM shortage I keep hearing about? How is it that we can keep pushing for more careers in STEM but at the same time have a surplus? I've read a number of articles that have touched on this topic but would love to hear some of the opposing arguments by individuals with real knowledge on the topic.
Or in other news, superior athletes do not have the brain power to expend! Its a bad joke you anonymous coward! Do we need to plant electrodes to your head to test your genetic gift to interpret social interaction?

Considering how many people could care less about going to an IMAX movie, perhaps it is intentional. Of course, I still do not care...

uh...depends upon your mom. Your mom was obviously easy...

Says the racist.
Ignoring race is racism.
You're are aware that you are an idiot? Another AC post that should simply be deleted.
