    Your line of reasoning seems to rest on the assumption that American citizens are more threatened by terrorists than by the government.

    This is a deeply flawed assumption.

    Preventing people from dressing like a whore in a private establishment in order to prevent sexual assault seems perfectly reasonable to me. It has nothing to do with whose fault it is.

    Kanji is the Japanese term for Chinese characters. In Mandarin it is hanzi. For the sake of completeness, it's hanja in Korean.

  12. Re:Works for anything, like wacky mad-libs on Obesity Contagious? · · Score: 1
    Hey, I'm not biased here. I personally am a lazy and overweight; I'm also a slacker who nonetheless did well in school, so I fit both sides of the mad-lib.

    Of course, I don't think many /.'ers will understand being a fatass/smartass. It's just too dissimilar from the average person here.

  13. Re:Yea right on Obesity Contagious? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The cure to obesity is to eat and live healthier, but it is clear that lifestyle is not the only cause. Many overweight people eat less and exercise more than other people with more ideal weights.

  14. Re:Semantics... on Microsoft Tricks Hacker Into Jail · · Score: 1

    It's illegal for you to do that, but the person you got to steal the book can be tried as well. If the government did it, the thief would be off the hook entirely.

  15. Re:Semantics... on Microsoft Tricks Hacker Into Jail · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Private citizens or entities cannot commit entrapment unless they are acting on behalf of the government. Microsoft could have blatantly pushed Genovese into doing something he otherwise wouldn't have done, and he would still be guilty (although in such a case, Microsoft might be guilty as well).

  18. wtf on Airport ID Checks Constitutional · · Score: 4, Insightful
    I can't honestly say that I'm terribly disturbed that people are scrutinized more if they don't have ID when flying on a plane.

    But having secret laws is totally, categorically unacceptable. There should be a Constitutional amendment against these sort of regulations. This isn't similar to a police state tactic, it is a police state tactic. There is no slippery slope; there is a motherfucking cliff that is being jumped off blindly in the hopes that there will be water instead of rocks at the bottom so we might only injure ourselves instead of dying.

    The Darwin userland is based mostly on FreeBSD with a little bit of NetBSD, neither of which have audited the 4.4BSD code like OpenBSD has. Besides, it has unique problems, such as earlier an early exploit of Apache based on case-insensitivity. And aside from all of this, security isn't a top priority for Mac OS X like it is for OpenBSD.

  25. Re:what does it matter anyways? on Britons Unconvinced on Evolution · · Score: 2, Informative

    It isn't just about some theory about the physical world. After all, how many people would be offended if you said you didn't believe in the Standard Model? There is no moral significance to the truth of falsity of evolution. However, the opponents of evolution, in an attempt to discredit it, attack science itself. Since the evidence supports it, they attack evidence as a means of knowledge. Since it is logically consistent, they twist logic into an irrational system. It isn't just an attack on evolution that they are waging, but an attack on our capability to understand the world: an attack on the human mind itself. All of our philosophical and technological achievements come from reason and science and an honest quest for knowledge. The goals of anti-evolutionists, if fully realized, would reverse the trend of human progress. Obviously this isn't going to happen, but they've already done a pretty good job of slowing it down.
