I'm not talking about prison. I'm talking about inpatient psychological treatment. If you've got a test for evaluating whether your rehabilitation technique is successful (to a reasonable degree of certainty), then let everyone know. I'm sure the psychological community is extremely interest to learn.
Do you think it's more compassionate to release people, but ban them from living anywhere near...well, anything, really, and put their names on a "monster's list"?
If they're ready to be released, then we don't need the list. And the list isn't harmless. People on the list have been murdered. So the list is unjust if it's not necessary, and release is unjust if it is.
But.. Congratulations on stifling debate by claiming vilification.
If you don't let them in your door, they can get the battering ram, or with most houses, just kick it in. They don't hold you indefinitely until you turn over the keys.
Now, I suspect they *can* hold you while they execute the search warrant, and in the case of encryption, that amounts to billions of years, depending on how long your key was, how secure your algorithm is, and how much compute resources they are willing to commit to "kicking in" your door.
And as for your definition of a subpoena: they have to ask for a specific piece of evidence. They can't just say, "Bring us some evidence that proves your guilt."
No, you don't hold them in jail. But if they can't be rehabilitated (and the publicized evidence seems to suggest that you probably can't) then you do what you do with anyone with antisocial behavioral tendencies that makes them a significant risk to society:
You attempt to treat them in a psychological facility until you're either confident that they are no longer a threat, or they leave on their own in the default way. You hold them there, by force if necessary, and only allow supervised jaunts into the outside world.
Obviously, you don't want to hold someone indefinitely for something like public urination. If the courts' discretion is insufficient to make this distinction, then that is a place for corrective legislation.
Prepare to be amazed! Balsa wood craft are capable of crossing the pacific, and may have been one of the ways in which some pacific islands were populated.
The incredible leap is steel ships, not wooden. The idea that something that sinks as readily as steel would be a good marine material surely had a lot of public opinion inertia to overcome.
Do you really foresee an Obama administration twisting words like Terrorism, Freedom (fries), Patriot, etc?
Absolutely not. Well, maybe Freedom. In general, though, leftists like Obama have a whole different set of words they twist to coax your liberty away. Obama won't be interested in HomeSec (but he won't be interested in doing anything about it, either). He will instead focus on taking your treasure and giving it to administrators of programs which claim to help poor people.
Do you foresee him installing crazy supreme court judges that have and will continue to fuck our country until they retire?
Yes. Although, both parties have put some crazies on. In fact, I was extremely disappointed in Bush for not elevating Thomas to chief and adding another "regular" justice. Who says the new guy has to be in charge?
Do you foresee him installing a vice president who refuses to talk with the press and cannot answer basic questions?
Nope. Obama chose Biden. He loves to talk to the press. What he says is another matter. It was quite disappointing that Palin was unable to call him on his brazen statements. He was nearly Clintonian in his ability to use true statements to fabricate erroneous impressions in the Debate.
Palin on the other hand was clearly not quite ready for the national stage. I'm glad she's not running for President. But she is clearly intelligent and passionate, and McCain appears to have chosen a lieutenant he can train to fill his shoes. Obama seems to have chosen one who can train HIM.
But.. Please stop forcing me to defend McCain. He's done some scummy things to this country in the name of "crossing the aisle" during his term as Media Darling and Maverick Senator. Unfortunately, he's the only thing standing between us and the terrifying efficiency of "Same party Congress and President."
Mickey increases the number of registered voters without increasing the number of actual voters. This provides an opportunity for disguising vote fraud by adding votes at the end of the night, but staying under the registered total.
It's not separate from the black box machine, it's complementary to it.
Um.. there's nothing wrong with buying a house that's 3x your yearly income.
The main problem is using the house itself as collatoral for the loan. It makes houses appear to be worth more, which then allows bigger loans to be secured, and so on...until the whole thing comes tumbling back down.
But you should be able to pay off a mortgage of 3x your current yearly income in twenty or thirty years, with nothing more than work, sweat, tears, and work.
"They are only allowed to use campaign contributions for their campaigns. What will their campaigns spend the money on?"
Yes, but they're allowed to use bribes whenever they visit foreign countries, or when they've been retired for long enough that no one cares anymore, or when their foreign shell corporation purchases vague services from their domestic LLC.
Within the past few months we've been getting bombarded with ads for a new (GM, I think) SUV hybrid which, apparently is a "green" car because it gets an "impressive" 25 mpg (highway).
What really gets you, though, is how they can say it with such a straight face.

As for your car, though, 77 is quite impressive, but as for 50... are you using US-gallons or imperial gallons?*
*Which is really the wrong way to measure fuel economy. It should be meters per gram (or feet per lb_m), like airplanes and ships do. Summer gallons are not the same as winter gallons, you see.
(plus, a few pressure transducers or strain guages and a reference weight are much more reliable than a plastic float on the end of a mechanical arm. Probably cheaper, too.)
Are your brake pads really so expensive that you're willing to put extra stresses on your engine?
I mean.. I can see doing this in a semi, if I had the right engine and I considered a little savings to be more important than the lives of nearby drivers, but in a car? It's not like you save energy doing it. Only regenerative braking gets any of it back.
Congress, specifically the house, is responsible for spending bills.
Who was in charge of the house during the Reagan years. Clinton years? Which way did the deficit go?
Presidents only have one lever, and the way congress assembles the bills, they can't use it one way or the other without something being canceled that shouldn't be or lots of stuff being passed that oughtn't.
It should be noted that one of the congresses (I won't say which one, you won't believe me.) addressed that issue somewhat by passing a "line-item" veto, a critical tool for cutting out riders and earmarks, and forcing congress to keep bills conceptually segregated: every law should stand on it's own.
To this day I fail to understand why the Supreme Court struck down this valuable tool that many states have at their disposal.
Well, someone else posted one which uses tr, which I'll bet is on even more systems than base64.
These are well-known standard tools, and they easily accomplish this very simple task when strung together. Precisely what the unix utilities were designed for.
Do you really trust some niche product's assurances over what are among the most used and reviewed tools, and whose open source implementations are manifold?
You want it more secure, the router is gonna need more RAM and CPU power to pull it off which means instead of picking up a wireless router for $40-60 for consumer grade stuff it'll probably end up more like $80-120.
The only problem with this is that $40 routers have been a reality for much longer than 18 months. Therefore, there is now more than enough RAM and CPU available for that price to do it in consumer gear.
On the off chance that you mean that today it'd end up costing that much, I would point out that that range is well within the pricing of the top-priced consumer gear on the market.

Me, too. But if someone wants to pick "neither," what right do we have to take his money and spend it on our pet projects, anyway?

A 500 GB drive costs about $70 these days ($50 if you're willing to trust small dealers). Is 30 cents per hour (reusable) really a problem?

So.. Is it pronounced, "Kwan tus" or "Can't us"
Why do you assume that if a minor child is in a car that is in motion, that the child is driving the car?
You're assuming that the the price is $20, and that the victim pays the advertised price.
But do you seriously expect email "marketers" to be less shady than Columbia House?
But the stuff costs more than $5, and they made far less than 250 million dollars. So, 1/1000 was an optimistic (from a spammer's pov) figure.
Ok, it could be 1/1000 of people, but you did the math based on 1/1000 of emails. Note that 10 billion emails couldn't possibly all hit unique people.

"Mark my words. A lot of families will suffer terribly because of this."
But somehow, not enough to cause an uproar. They learned a valuable lesson from Prohibition: Don't have too many high-profile raids.
And a corollary: People who think they can "buy" other people's stuff for way less than it's worth probably won't protest reason too much.
"They are only allowed to use campaign contributions for their campaigns. What will their campaigns spend the money on?"
Yes, but they're allowed to use bribes whenever they visit foreign countries, or when they've been retired for long enough that no one cares anymore, or when their foreign shell corporation purchases vague services from their domestic LLC.

Uh.. You DO inspect your brakes periodically, right? You don't just put gas in and "pedal make car go", do you?
Are your brake pads really so expensive that you're willing to put extra stresses on your engine?
I mean.. I can see doing this in a semi, if I had the right engine and I considered a little savings to be more important than the lives of nearby drivers, but in a car? It's not like you save energy doing it. Only regenerative braking gets any of it back.
