Thanks, Captain Ostensible... while that explanation of law and government sounded good in your second grade civics text book it has absolutely no relationship with the actual workings of the state and power.
Laws exist to provide justification for intrusion by the state into a particular aspect of life of the community on which it resides. When the state takes on the role of protector of your child you no longer have a claim to him or her. Laws exist to carry out political agendas, to create policy. To keep the powerful in power and keep the weak out. It is true that people don't act in mutually beneficial ways, but the greatest concentration of self-centered people is in the government. Less laws is the solution. To stop violence, the greatest source of violence in society must be delegitimized.
Your view of the law is just something that people started telling themselves during the enlightenment so they could go to sleep at night without feeling like a total bitch.
Hey, at least the guy has a good job working for a good company! He probably did keep a lot of pedophiles away... he wouldn't want the competition. And he could have taught her about computer networking etc...
That's nice in theory, but there are plenty of arbitrary limits on the employment pool besides just a simple gender-based restrictions. People refer and hire their friends...people form clans. A company is not going to be hurt by not hiring women if hiring women would disrupt the internal power structure.
Hmmm... they're storing their "mech" outside during the winter...kind of looks like they haven't been doing much too it. either way, they can't afford a better place to store it. Hard to take them seriously...beyond how silly the idea is.
"So instead of calling people morons or running around in tin foiul hats perhaps people should take note of the fact that yes there are real terrorists and no the administration does not have a clue how to deal with the problem. They have repeated every one of the mistakes that the British government made in Northern Ireland only on a much larger scale and to a much greater degree."
You seriously think that some terrorists were using infoshop.org and there is any chance at all that this was part of a legitimate investigation? That site is used by basically white non-violent anti-war types... it's not a recruitment area for alqaeda. The FBI is simply engaging in it's PRIMARY mission of stifling and erradicating domestic political dissent, it has nothing to do with "the war on terror." It's as plain as day and only in the bizzare world of American mainstream media and hence, thought must we present the "other side" of the story in order to seem like reasonable and balanced people. Lol, some thugs demand a server administrators logs at gun point while claiming they are serving a greater, yet unrevealable, good and we have to actually CONSIDER what they are saying to us? It's safe to call bullshit on that one immediately.
He stole this idea from rudy rucker. in his *ware(freeware,realware, etc) books he writes about aliens that travel by broadcasting themselves out to the universe and waiting to get decoded and put into a computer/robot. pretty much the same thing and it came out in '97.
What goes along with that though is being really good at spotting liars. a non-technical CEO can have smoke blown up his/her ass really easy by techies trying to get their way. If you're going to be delegating and taking ideas from more knowledgeable people you have to have a good bullshit meter.

if you haven't lured, over the internet, underage girls to your house, then you haven't lived.
What a pussy
that's it, I'm not inviting you to any more parties.
We're not extremists...
That's three words.

Filling your company with chicks so you and your geek friends can finally score, while understandable, is not a commendable move.

Or your mom?
Where will new innovations like riot shields and the galil come from?

stfu, fascist
Unless you've done something wrong you have nothing to worry about.
The packetsniffers and their ilk suck hard. They are so boring and lame... FYI.

For an ASICs based MozillaMachine, what else?

Quit your job.
but technology companys have to innovate or they die. potato chips have been made the same way for 100 years.
