I would consider anyone who could kill an innocent child to be a threat to society, regardless of the conditions.
Killing your cheating wife in a fit of rage is one thing; killing anyone (especially a child) who has done you no wrong shows a lack of conscience, not a case of bad judgement.
The airlines are common carriers; they are pretty much required (as part of being common carriers) to accept anyone who shows up with a ticket. The exception to this would be if they were legally authorized and/or required to do so. When asked, they said it was a government rule that required them to do so.
When there is a question as to the legality of an action of one party towards another, or the applicability and scope of the law, the courts are the place where it is supposed to be resolved when the two parties cannot come to an agreement.

Tell ya what. You take my job supporting backwards, badly written, "poor excuse for a database; it cant even handle locking" customer management system, and I'll take your nice comfy "shoveling coal, 60 hours a week, with no overtime, at minimum wage" job.
30 years is nearly double what he has lived so far, and might very well be long enough convince him of the errors of his ways.
If he will be a threat for the rest of his life, kill him. If he won't be a threat in 30 years, let him out. Either way, don't leave him rotting in jail for 50-70 years.
It depends on what's being said. "Hi mom, I'm not dead" is probably pretty safe. As would be asking about things at home, as anything going on at home is probably either family-related or broadcast over nation airwaves.
A bank is an institution that loans out money, collects, and pays interest.
You can have a balance with Western Union, that doesn't make them a bank.
The debit cards are issued by a bank. The bank that issues it is (properly) regulated as a bank. The money transfer portion is not regulated as a bank. The interest paid is due to the use money markets; those are regulated like any other money market.
But they aren't a bank. They are a money transfer service, and that is why they can offer a lot of the services they do.
If they were regulated as a bank, they would have to behave like a bank. Personally, I'd rather have a little more risk, for better functionality. If you don't want to make that tradeoff, use a bank.
"we may discover animals (you know, the kind we eat for food) are also capable of thoughts, feelings, communication."
My cat (if one can own a cat) is already capable of these traits. Heck, she's even capable of revenge (pooping on my bed, but only when she is sufficiently annoyed). That requires some level of thoughts. She has moods, and is quite capable of communication.
I'm personally not sure I like this level of experimentation. I'm opposed to the killing of humans for personal gain, and it could very well be inhumane to allow the result to live. Keep the human brain out of the picture, and I don't see a problem with it, as it's not a person.
It's nice to see that a little planning can go a long way.
I've got a hardened gcc compiler on my main server, so I compiled on a unpatched machine (stock RedHat 9) and moved it over. Although the RedHat 9 exploit worked fine, my production machine was completly unaffected.
The solution? Grsecurity. Besides the fact that compiler access is restricted (can't compile exploits), and normal users cannot write anywhere executables are allowed to run (can't copy exploits from other machines), the address-based overflow protection and other protections work like a charm.
"People are generally good and are willing to follow the law."
Like speed limits, for example? People tend to obey laws they feel are reasonable. That's why, for example, few people deliberatly disobey red lights at intersections. Red lights are inherantly fair, and serve a useful function of safety, rather than just as revenue generation for the state.
Speed limits, on the other hand, are often arbitrary, and lower than is reasonable as to make generation of ticket revenue easier. More people disregard speed limits than Red Light.
I suspect that people value what they think is right over what they think is legal. Perhaps it's time for the laws to change.
I use gentoo, which is nice in that it compiles from source.
It also has what are called "use flags". If I want X support compiled in, I add the X flag. If I want to make sure nothing X related is in, I add "-X" to the use flags.
In gentoo, if you want apache2 with php, mysql, and postgresql, you add "postgres php mysql apache2" to your use flags, and run "emerge php".
As the configure command is generated on the fly, you don't have to worry about remembering the command you used (although phpinfo() shows it nicely). It will also install the needed dependencies, and configure apache to run it. Upgrades are a snap too.
There are a lot of other use flags used by php, including ncurses, berkdb, crypt, curl, gd, hardened-php, imap, ipv6, jpeg, kerberos, gmp, mssql, ldap, pam, png, readline, ssl, tiff, spell, truetype, and xml2 - all of which can be enabled or disabled by simply setting the use flag in make.conf. Gentoo will handle the dependencies these use flags create as well.
The trick is to require payment up front, and don't sell anything for less than the cost of the game. Use wifi hotspots if you're worried about an IP ban.
Payment up front - even undercover, you still only lose time, not money. To some people, it's worth it.
It's actually given me problems. For example, I recently applied for a credit card through GE - their system required a drivers license to apply, but wouldn't take 2048 as a valid year.

Actually, it's possible. I've patched Winamp to work with the Mozilla ActiveX Control, and was quite surprised when it worked just fine.
The issue in question was the soliciting donations, then running (fraud, not copyright infringement).
Of course, whether sending hashes and matchmaking is infringement is up to the courts.

"It is a criminal matter if you make ANY money off the infringement and soliciting donations is a form of making money."
Nope. It's still civil until you reach a certain threshold.
However, $30,000 is well above that threshold. And soliciting donations for a reason other than the stated purpose is fraud.
In my car, it was a simple matter of cutting one pin on the EEProm. The chip works fine, it just can't write anything.
Actually, if you strings ftp.exe, it's

Or move it to removable storage.

Treo 300, using PCSNet.

Payment up front - even undercover, you still only lose time, not money. To some people, it's worth it.
1.5% cashback, and the ability to spend money people send you by paypal instantly instead of waiting 3-5 days for the funds to reach your bank.
Useful, just mainly for people who sell stuff on paypal, not people who buy.
Also live in AZ, Mine expires in 2048.
