Mens rea is part of due process for imprisonable crimes. The only crimes without a mens rea requirement are strict liability offenses whose penalty is a fine, such as traffic violations.
Incorrect. There are a number of strict liability crimes that have significant jail sentences. The most common of which is statutory rape. A number of crimes relating to classified documents are strict liability as well.
If I remember the chain of events correctly... someone posted a parody of Rusty's wife/girlfriend, something offensive to him in some way. He locked down registration and that started a chain reaction that caused the site to spiral downward. Of all the things I miss from kuro5hin, it has to be LocalRogers that I miss the most.
" If college presidents were to divide up their pay and write out checks to all their students, the per-person payout would be fairly low, amounting to no more than $300 per student."
The article is about the cost of overall administrative overhead, not just college presidents. The summary itself is even more misleading, as it attempts to compare base salary's between two very disparate fields. A CEO of a normal "wall street" company makes on average 20% of there income as salary. The rest of there income comes from bonuses, benefits and incentives. A large percentage of which is in the form of stock, something a college will not offer.
If it was a good thing, it would simply require a factory reset, and a notice of the lack of encryption capabilities. Instead they chose to destroy your property.
Ah yes, the old argument that consent can be revoked after the fact, for any reason. Welcome to the new world of being an adult, where you no longer have to live with your bad decisions.
I love that idea. Although I think it should be a longer and more comprehensive course. Examples of other topics that could be included:
Teaching men and women how to dress if they don't want to get raped
How to never make a decision that turns out badly
I'm sure if we pool our heads we could come up with more useful ways to blame victims! I'd suggest "how not to be a minority" but I'm not sure that, that's teachable unless you think we could get the budget for makeup lessons as well?
Really, what's the difference between making a copy of yourself, and going to sleep? It may seem like they're completely different concepts, but think about happens when you sleep. Your self shuts down, eventually you dream and than wake up, but for all intents and purposes it may as well be a new you.
Will the real Brianna Wu ever show up and actually answer questions? I did thoroughly enjoy reading these obviously fake, asinine question/answer pairs though, so thanks for the laugh!
Isn't racial discrimination the definition of affirmative action? I'm not sure what makes them think they have any actionable complaints against the university.
For one thing, ignoring the whole context of his tweet, turning an oxygen light on is highly unlikely to cause any fear? The reaction to that happening would be a message from the pilot stating "We are having a technical malfunction with our oxygen light system, please ignore".
Where's the specific articulated threat? "Should we start playing" is not a threat. Especially not in context with the tone of the rest of his tweets. Making a joke is not a threat or a crime.
That's not at all hate speech. Hate speech requires there to be a specific target. As well, I don't agree with your statement that no-one who says that believes it. The individuals who do believe that the Holocaust was a hoax may be disturbed, but they definitely do exist. True radicalism (as Neo-Nazi's and other Holocaust deniers tend to be), necessitates ardent belief. In the case of Antisemitism many feel such hatred and fear that they can convince themselves of beliefs or ideas that a normal person would consider completely irrational.
Far too often I've been seeing asinine articles written about arbitrary asides and I've come to the conclusion that editors only post these meaningless, incomprehensible, rants because of the amount of discussion (in this case, complaints) they generate.
No one with half a brain would think these ideas are sound. In fact, they read like a Buzzfeed article. 5 insane tricks to troll SlashDot! 1 way to make your audience hate you (and comment more!).
Can anyone think of a reason why these tirades get posted, other than to generate false outrage?
There is a significant amount of evidence that "Jesus" the person did exist. There is almost universal acceptance among scholars that there was such a person. There is even evidence that he was crucified, Annals by Tacitus written 116 AD.
What about I2P and Freenet. I haven't followed either in years, but AFAIK they're still around and used. Of course I believe both of them are darknet only.
It isn't that Windows 8 in general is terrible, it's that the UI is horrendous. Things that I used to be able to do by clicking a button now require me to stop my workflow and load a full page "Metro". Yes there are workarounds and once you do so, Windows 8 is very good.
Is there any proof that the contributors are even in the US and thus subject to a NSL? At least one of them seems to be from the Czech Republic (David Tesaík).
She gave him consent to take them. Her consent is only needed for that single instance, as once those photos are taken, he owns them. She's essentially claiming property rights on something he owns (in this case, intellectual property). Just because it involves her being naked, does not change that fact. As long as the photos stay private, they should be his to do with as he pleases.
They actually hit 8.5 million concurrent viewers in late 2013 for the LoL World Champions in late 2013. 32 million total viewers. They have 26 million players a day, 67 million a month.

The fact that she is a child in the pictures makes them arguably child porn if she really wants to play hardball over it.
Child porn, really? Do you have to destroy your argument with such hyperbole?

I'm genuinely interested in knowing what holes you think there are in the Holocaust story.

Virtually all studies conducted about pedophilia have a huge, glaring flaw:
They're conducted on convicts.
You can find plenty of information showing that criminals on average have a lower iq, shorter, etc.
Vary, yes. Vary does not mean "is not possible". I'd say he has a good shot of winning a class action suit against Sony.
I'm confused. You're saying they're not delivering what they advertised, and yet they should win? How do you think that works.
