They don't need a "concept of ethics." But there's the basic problem that if they have no problem with taking resources from another civilization, what problem do they have with taking resources from each other? Unless they are invincible they will almost certainly begin by taking resources from each other. If both you and I need a resource and one of us becomes short on it, we engage in conflict unless there is a sense of "ethics" or some basic moral guidelines. They can call it whatever they want but it's just a basic beginning to conflict... in the wrong places of our world, you can get yourself killed for an iPhone or wallet. Those are resources.
They could very well be perfectly civil with each other, and perfectly destructive with anyone who is not of the same species.
Actually... what this means is that you shouldn't use the same password for more than one site. You should use an app that is encrypted and password protected to store all of your login info.
So will my identity get stolen because I use the same username/password on slashdot and a few gaming sites?
And personally I don't like having to type in a long password every time I start up firefox.
Hmm, maybe someone should follow the guy around, and spy on him, and break into his house to plant bugs and video cameras. I mean, if the government can do it...
In a criminal case (which terrorism and conspiracy are) you do not want to let the suspect know you are on to them until the cops come to arrest them. With the watch lists, all a sleeper has to do is take a commercial flight, and they will immediately know if they are on a watch list.
Actually the most dangerous of the terrorists are not on the fly list, for that very reason. At least according to a Boston Legal episode in which Captain Kirk was on the no-fly list.
currently you have to run them in DosBox, and the resolution if fixed at 640x480
Huh? These are VGA games, 320x200 (or possibly 320x240). DosBox offers all kinds of output methods and scalers which can upscale the game to any resolution you want. For a lot of games, I prefer the HQ scalers (or the openglhq output method from some CVS builds). And the openglnb output method is best when you want to preserve the game's original look without the blurring/smudging caused by upscaling.
There is quite a bit of difference between "I know I am burning yet I feel no physical pain" to "I know my kids are burning yet I feel no emotional pain."
Nobody can have any amount of power over you if you've got that kind of self control.
Would that self control include to watching calmly while your loved ones burn to death as well? Hostages have been used to control people for a loooong time.
Oh and I'm NOT kidding when I say the review is "spoiler filled". Read at your own risk if you haven't seen the movie yet. I'm guessing he wanted to spoil the movie to make it less likely that others would want to watch it.
Stars which were already in those galaxies are still there, are they not? Life could've already developed there billions of years go. It just needs some singularity screen for the radiation.

But would we travel to a remote corner of the earth to prevent a potential bacterial epidemic?

What is the reason to encrypt first and last names?
Hey, do you want Slashdot to be fined for offending Brazil or something?
Your post offends me. Please pay me $100.
If you pirate the software, you get all the downsides and none of the upsides.
This is reversed for games, unfortunately.
Seems to me that if the prosecutors knowingly frame someone for murder, then they should be on the receiving end of vigilante justice.
Yes, otherwise he believes in rounding up.

Have you actually played Crysis? There's actually a pretty decent game there, under all the glitter.

Yes, and if everyone pirates music, there will be no practical way for RIAA to respond. Oh wait...

But they won't stop there. South Park will do an episode of him getting butt raped by a guy named "Mohammad" in a bear suit.
Now that would get them assassinated, if Comedy Central ever allowed it to air (which they won't).

Eh, this is the guy who gave Kick-Ass 1 star in a spoiler filled review focusing on only a single aspect of the movie. I think I can safely discount his opinions.
Stars which were already in those galaxies are still there, are they not? Life could've already developed there billions of years go. It just needs some singularity screen for the radiation.
I'm sure I could come up with a scenario where it's appropriate to nuke someone who is underage. What's your point?
Well, apparently before tasers they would've just shot the kid, or maybe clubbed him a little. Aren't you glad for tasers?
How many cops would use a billy club on a 6-year old? Far fewer than would use a taser.
Seriously, who needs video games when you can play with an Alba-bot?
Considering NOLF 2 was apparently the only sequel to their own game that Monolith got right (see Blood 2, F.E.A.R. 2), that would be a good idea.
