Right... Like forcibly breaking up a company, which at some level most will admit is not a positive thing (Job loss, retirement investment losses, whatever) to accomplish the lesser evil of protecting consumers.
Because the 3rd world is the only option to paying our level of taxes. I mean, the US was a 3rd world country until we arrived at our current tax rates.
I know of no libertarian that argues we should pay no taxes. They just don't want to fund roles that they don't believe the government should fulfill. The roles that they do think government should fulfill would keep a country safely out of the category of 3rd world.
Seriously. We only want to hear about rapists who release secret government documents... I mean alleged rapist... I mean a really nice guy who has no chance of actually being a rapist and was framed by [insert evil western government or corporation name here].
Wow. Almost pissed my karma away.
I'm going to assume that each website had a terms of use of some sort that would probably frown on such behavior and effectively be asking those involved in something like DDoS "to leave". Don't know that I agree that such a piece of text, buried in a page nobody visits, should be legally binding... but the lawyers did put it there for that purpose.
Those children might have a bit of trouble using that laptop if the Taliban or similar Islamist groups again control the country. I'm not a big fan of ends-based ethics, so I don't want to make a case supporting the war. It is a bit unrealistic, however, that the lack of the US fighting the war would mean that the lives of these children would be substantially better and that even if that money could be made available for a program like this any of the children would actually see or use the computer.
Actually, I'm pretty sure there have been mild success communicating with other primates with sign language. I tell my dog to sit and spin around. However, every species we've discovered has only a limited understanding and at most a very basic "language".
why are we assuming we're the ONLY intelligent species?
We aren't assuming. There has been decades (at the very least) of research.
Right, decisions of ones life are too much a responsibility. Clearly, the call should be made by enlightened doctors, administrator, and politicians. That will be a relief when they tell me that I am just going to have to quite now. I know I would be much happier if I didn't have to put up with the stress of making the decision and knew I was going to die based of the decision of a comity who calculated the value of my life.
I don't know much of anything about the equipment they use, but could it just be that we're seeing more lightning because we're lookinging harder and with better equipment?
Slashdot Mirror
While working at MS, I saw a lot of the same "Not invented by a company we acquired"
There... fixed that for you
To be fair, that error actually got NASA closer to Mars.
RTFC. He mentioned that same point, then continued to answer the questions posed about melting through the concrete, which will not happen.

has a few drawbacks due to being controlled by a singular company.
That seems to me like a drawback in itself.

Perhaps you meant pseudo intellectual anarchists.
I think part of the idea here is to make laundering the bills harder to accomplish.
time on World of Warcraft or sex
Yes, I imagine it would be one or the other.
"A week's worth of data" - What is that in LOCs?

Right. It's Somalia's tax policies that set it apart from the US.

Well, if your arm is already worn out what what could you possibly need a computer for?

Hopefully, further observation will give us answers.
There. Fixed that for you. Scientific method only tests and narrows in on truth, it doesn't guarantee the discovery of it.

That doesn't make humans better, just different.
Wow. Let me guess, the soccer team you played on when you were little didn't keep score and just played "for fun".

Did RMS knit his own clothes
Haven't you seen him? I'm quite sure he did.
Wait. I'm a conservative... I have a girlfriend... What the hell am I doing here?
Okay, now I'm just confused
Ethanol, the cause of and solution to all of lifes problems
I don't know much of anything about the equipment they use, but could it just be that we're seeing more lightning because we're lookinging harder and with better equipment?
Are you suggesting that 9% of the slashdotters that would participate in such a poll are lying?
What an idea! You could create more an more power... perpetually.
