Just wait until all new PC monitors are required to come with cameras and mics installed and covering up or disabling them is illegal. Kinda like VCRs and Macrovision, traffic light cameras and license plates, or the wiretapping requirements of telcos. The government would of course claim these things wouldn't be used until there was reason to. I wouldn't be too surprised if such a bill was proposed, although I would be pretty surprised if it passed (at least for now).
You're assuming South Africa would retain its culture if it modernized and became prosperous. Sadly, that is often not the case. Many people around the world dislike modernizing because of that.
The United States has plenty of problems, but lethal violence in schools isn't one of them.
I'm not trying to pass judgment, just thinking about a few generalities that most likely apply to South Africa as well as many other countries.
If I buy 25 cars and charge 50 people for the ability to come by and use a car at any time, how long do I have before I go to jail? And how much of a jackass am I for counting on the fact that there will never be more than 25 people wanting to use a car at any one time?
If South Africa was as financially prosperous and as well educated as the United States do you really think there would be such a huge problem with HIV? Attack the source of the problem, not the results of it.
Sense of decency? You do not get to decide for everyone what is decent. Maybe visitors to Slashdot are just more open minded to what is decent. I for one didn't find his usage of "fuck" indecent.
Are you suggesting that human carnivores should feel free to eat YOU ? I'm for it if it reduces non-human animal cruelty and stupidity at the same time.
I think eating human babies or retarded people would be okay since they don't have a human level of intelligence and "souls" are just a bunch of bullshit. I'm not surprised you're in favor of eating humans but against eating stupid animals since you are obviously insane.
Believe it or not, the number of vegetarians on the planet probably number in the high hundreds of millions.
Believe it or not, the number of meat eating humans on the planet numbers in the billions. Beat that.
kudos to them for helping to protect the planet (whether by religion or conscious) from stupid folks who don't care about resource depletion
There's more food available now per person that at any other time in known history.
I don't think people who eat meat are cruel. Because I know that if the vast majority of them saw the source of their food (some species with real fear in them) before they were killed, they would switch (to pseudo-quote former Cattle Rancher Howard Lyman).
Stop fooling yourself. I wouldn't refuse to eat an animal just because I had seen it prouncing around looking cute.
By the way, I've never taken any medicines (not because I didn't want to), but because I've never had to. I don't know if that's because I'm vegan or not, but you must be one sick puppy to seem to be dependent on medicines so badly.
You probably don't realize this, but to people who aren't completely insane, you are obviously crazy to the max.
Sick puppy eh, that might explain why you really need them to be tested on puppies first.
Just how much time do you spend fantasizing about cute adorable little animals being tortued? What a sick freak.
I don't think it's unethical. I would love to see criminals who were given the death penalty or a life sentence instead go through forced medical testing.
The people who make the laws should be the ones that have to review all existing laws so that they are encouraged to keep the law system lean and simple. If the lawmakers don't have to ever review anything one it's made, they have little incentive to do that, and they actually are instead just encouraged to add more crappy with less forethought faster than ever since there's now a group of people that are supposed to get rid of it if it sucks.
I would really love if Congress had to review every line of each law every few years. The laws would probably be easier to read and there wouldn't be nearly as many. Plus it would slow down congress, which is almost always a good thing since the US government is continuing to grow larger and larger.
No, and I don't think that porn (or violent video games) MAKES someone violent. But it does "feed the beast."
But tell me that DOESN'T fuel the pedophile to eventually want to go out and get some real action on a kid?
And violent movies fuel the movie watcher to eventually want to go out and torture each other, violent videogames fuel the gamer to eventually want to go out and fuck a prostitute then kill her, violent music fuels the listener to eventually want to go out and shake their booty or pimp some hoes, etc.
That's why everything remotely violent or sexual needs to be made illegal. Then all violence and 'bad' sex will end.
I recently heard about an amazing new concept called "link". Somehow stuff can be associated with a location, and activating this particular stuff will allow you to travel quickly to the associated location! I'm not yet sure if such a crazy idea is even possible, but it's a really exciting idea.
But if I were to take a program the size of OpenOffice and use a couple interesting chunks of code, I'm technically in the same situation.
Not according to TFA. I know it's a crazy idea, but try actually reading some of the linked article.
From it:
However, the section clearly states that if a program "can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then the GPL does not apply to it"
You don't seem to realize that trains can be privately owned and operated. Even if that was somehow impossible, buses can also be privately owned and operated. They can't legally be operated everywhere, but not allowing them is definitely more communist than allowing them.

Geez, what a whiny little bitch. What prickly object got shoved up your urethra?
Legal free porn? That sounds boring.

They want you to watch this because it's an ad. What isn't nice is posting ads to /. and not telling you that it's just an ad.

Write it using JavaScript, the HTML canvas element, and SVG. Just because.

Better yet, let's just merge all companies into one.

You aren't seriously trying to claim that "an" is plural, are you? Wow, I've never seen that before.
Who cares? He made a pun, and puns are totally sweet.
He's not a troll, he's just not making his point very well. Even if the experts aren't ignoring this, the media is.
Because, you know, these animal researchers bomb people all the time.
Maybe he doesn't want to get bombed by a bunch of psychos.
