They are also the employees who are more likely to be dealing with secure or private information, so it does stand to reason that they'd be more likely to accidentally share that information.
I don't think the GP was proposing a welfare state, I think he was pointing out that it is somewhat inevitable. You're right, if this were a rational society then things could be different, but it's not a rational society. Especially in the US, it is very individualistic society where we are strongly encouraged to worry about ourselves and not about others. Unfortunately the kinds of problems we are talking about are far more difficult to solve on an individual basis than a collective basis.
The polar vortex is not the name of the storm, it's the name of the low pressure system that usually sits much farther north and this year has come unusually far south, basically right over top of Milwaukee. Last year it affected Europe, this year it is affecting the US.
I've said similar before -- the same goes for their data mining techniques. Sure it's being used inappropriately, but the fact they are able to collect, store, and analyze such an humongous data set is really a marvel of computer science.
Remember, rockets were used to kill people before they were used to take people to space. Lots of inventions are created for the wrong purpose and then later used for good.
Command & Conquer (the original) shipped with videos of weapons including one of an airliner crashing into a tower. I used that video in a report about the potential of WW3 as Nostradamus predicted when I was in high school, I think this was in 1997 or 1998. Was Nostradamus right? Did Westwood Studios predict the future? Was I a prophet of the future of the US? Nah. Just had an imagination.
And yet there are people in this world who would put time and money into building a house and then open its doors for others to use. You won't see very many of those people in the US, but they do exist.
Only if you believe that creative works are owned by their creators rather than become part of the culture once published and thus owned by everyone in society. If you believe the later, than any creative work lost to DRM is a loss to all of us.
I'm not sure where you're from, but I can speak for the US. We tend to be a fairly individualistic nation (still) and the idea of something being part of the culture as you mentioned is a real hard sell here.
Interesting predicament though -- do you want something reflective to protect against the laser, or do you want something absorptive to help hide radar signature?
one of many extremely poor choices by the court in the Bush years(they didn't stop with bad decisions when Obama arrived, not saying that).
I'm glad some people recognize that this isn't anything new. When the Patriot Act passed, many of us saw this coming but it seems like all the outcry now is just too late. It was obvious that the gov't would data mine the entire population to accomplish their goal, and it was obvious that the data they were collecting and mining would end up getting misused by people all over the chain of command. Lo and behold, that is exactly what is happening.
This does need to go to the supreme court, and hopefully the court will see reason. I'm not sure what I expect to happen, though, since (as you mentioned) both parties have shown that this kind of surveillance is something they support.
1. Get up.
2. Greet the first person you see with a compliment and a big smile.
3. If you're feeling adventurous give them a hug.
4. Report your findings here.
Good luck.
If it were a slashdot tip it would include:
5. ?????
6. Profit!
Engines may be the noisiest thing on the plane, but that noise is white noise (static noise). It is actually calming and contributes to actually helping people sleep on the plane. Voices, on the other hand, cut right through that and have the opposite effect, even if they aren't addressing you. Also, voices carry VERY well through the cabin. For example, you can often hear what the flight attendant is saying to someone ten or more rows ahead or behind you, even over the engine noise.
Weren't they free before they were held captive by humans? In which case, wouldn't they return to the same style of life they had prior to captivity? This doesn't sound very complicated.
It does stop them from making money. They are not able to sell the lyrics now even if they want to, because the lyrics are already available for free from another source. Love it or hate it, the take-downs are the right thing. I really appreciate the lyric sites as a customer of the music industry because I don't have another good way to get the lyrics but truth be told they are getting your eyes on someone else's content and selling them to advertisers. They are leeches.

They get the time extended. Again and again.

The point is, you can't get fooled again!

I don't think you understand how analogies work.
Or the entire summary, at least.
If a company can be a "person" surely a chimp can be too, right?
Is this the same line of logic that claims blacks were better off as slaves than they are now as a free people?
Yes, just not the same one.
Weren't they free before they were held captive by humans? In which case, wouldn't they return to the same style of life they had prior to captivity? This doesn't sound very complicated.
Isn't this basically the same as saying people don't like change, which anyone with life experience would already know?
I wish they wouldn't change the way they say it, it makes me scared and confused.
Really? Cuz the summary pretty clearly states "The cobalt-60 was found, removed from its casing" and I'm pretty sure it didn't open itself.

Buying congress people doesn't count as giving money to the government?
Bollocks.
You know my post was a sarcastic comment about privatizing bribery, right?
