if forced to choose between "journalist" and activist/advocate, he would choose the latter.
I would do the same. Not because of the great ideals of the latter, but the lack of them in the former. Sure there are some investigative journalists around, but most are at most editors of news feeds. And by editing I mean changing the order of the words a bit, not even the editing that Wikileaks does.
And I do not care what Assange is. He could be a terrorist child molester for all I care.
It might very well be that the law is not respected, but then you must also look if the law is good. Unfortunately going the legal way to change the law also does not work anymore.
Remember that the USofA was not made because everybody was following the law. (Nor any other country)
we're going to have to move all our coastal cities to higher ground;
Just wondering. Would it not be easier to build a new city and only move the people? Or do we need to keep everything we have for all eternity at all costs, because we believe that if we could have held on to Atlantis, Pompei, Alexandia,... we would now have world peace and an eternal life?
Unless you call your kid Mastercard, it is a company and as such should not have the same rights as a person and abide different laws. Refusing to do business because of political reasons with somebody is more racism then freedom of speech.
I thought the same thing. Probably some redneck who used some lame excuse. If it were somebody called Ali who lived here longer and used the same excuse, then he would be in Gitmo already. Happens all the time
Google maps would be able to do that as well as minimal other research.
And for a terrorist, every target that gets in the news is a valid target. People go to schools with (legal) arms and shoot people. If a 15 year old kid is able to do that, don't you think a terrorist would be able to figure out a way to do the same?
Write a letter? They light up their fat cigars they got as a present from the MAFIAA. So all that is left is the EFF, although that would mean a battle between lawyers and then they will change the law.
So as long as the majority of people does not show any interest, I would say we are doomed.
Strange, because here in Belgium, anybody can join a union. There probably is a minimum age, but the job is irrelevant. Even better: you do not even NEED a job to join a union. And you can select from several.
This means that if they make a picket line, they have a lot more pressure. They might start with just a few people in one company. Then the whole company or all of the same profession or even the whole country.
The main disadvantage I see is that _elected_ union people are over protected and that draws people who are in it for the over-protection and not for their cow orkers. Meaning many are lazy but can't be fired. For all the others there is no difference between union and non-union. Same pay. Same amount of holidays. Same whatever.
How does this compare to other misuses? The biggest problem obviously is time wasted. So does Internet add to other waste of time or does it replace it? Does this abuse make them less productive or more productive?
I hate these kind of studies as they are extremely one sided. Used to work for a company that did not allow surfing, so instead people where reading a newspaper. No problem, because it was not easily measurable by looking at a log.
People are not 100% productive. Get over it and start figuring out to praise them by what they do, not punish them by what they don't. Every dogs and raising-kids tv show can tell you that. Management by fear only works for a short period of time.
I really like the story with the Devil and God throwing him out. And God being good and the Devil being bad. Good versus Evil. Great storytelling.
But what if the Evil guy had won and then says He is the good guy? If I were the evil guy, I certainly would mess with peoples head and say that I was good, although I was evil. Say to two different persons that I am their only God and kill the other one and see who wins. Just because I can. Let people die and the few who live must thank me for my mercy.
All the while the Devil who tries to come back, I will tell the worst stories about. And all the the Devil want to do is you to have fun.
Or is this just a matter that absolute power corrupts absolutely?
Anyway. Nice and entertaining stories. Lots of violence and sex, so great to turn into movies.
Reminds me a bit of The Stainless Steel Rat who says he is an Atheist, because that makes him a better person. A person of faith will believe he has a second chance in some sort of afterlife, so he will have no problem killing somebody as that would not be the end of that persons life.
An Atheist knows it will end that persons life for now and forever and will thus be much more careful with ending one.
Used this argumentation once with some Mormons and they became pretty confused.:-D
(As I said, it reminded me. This is also the series of books that explain why bank robberies are good)
Why 2D? Make it 3D. And then project it to real size. That way when you sit in your car you can look around and it would feel as if you sit in your car.
With upgrades for me it is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" and openSUSE already does the security updates. I seldom have the need to have the latest version.
However choice is a great thing. Many people will use it, because they want to have the last version (rightfully or not is another discussion) so good for them.

Well, many sites tell they do not share the information and then you read that again a site is hacked and all the information was available.
And that will differ from country to country.

Well, then mob justice has a lot in common with any other justice.

It will be +70 years after death has ended.

G is so silent, many people are not even it exists.
With boring I do mean the presentation. Why not live it up and make a Cribs spoof out of it.

I am sure you get the idea.
It works for the people who keep saying that making a copy is theft.
I thought the same thing. Probably some redneck who used some lame excuse. If it were somebody called Ali who lived here longer and used the same excuse, then he would be in Gitmo already. Happens all the time
Oh no I get it. I thought you talked about beararms, like firearms.
Because you have accepted the words of experts from the government as the truth does not mean everybody has the same idea.
Hopefully this TSA stuff that is now coming into the public news is enough for people to start wondering about privacy and act on it in the USofA.
Google maps would be able to do that as well as minimal other research.
