Not flamebait either - local Mormon leaders have been quite vigorously, though quietly, campaigning against the pub, and, apparantly, successfully. Assholes.
Had no respect for Saddam, but any lingering respect I has for the US Military just died. What a grotesque and reprehensible institution, if this is what they do behind closed doors - the fact that they do worse (torture legally defined in the US as 'anything less than organ failure') doesn't mean that something like this isn't just plain and simply slimy.
There is never a 'need' for torture. It is/impossible/ for torture to provide accurate information about anything. Torture never produces reliable information.
The purpose of torture is to cause pain, not to extract information. Reality isn't a TV show.
I illustrate the ridiculousness of your question, I'll rephrase it "Why can't you sue the construction company that built your house if someone vandalizes oor you suffer a loss due to break and enter?"
If you're trying to actually/sell/ an operating systerm to home users, the first thing people will look at, and the main thing they will use in judging whether or not it's worth buying, is the user interface.
And if the user interface looks cheap and lazy, they're going to think, justified or not, that the entire operating system, therefore, was cheap and lazy./That/ is why there are so many, as you put it, 'gee whiz' features in new versions - it's the only thing most people will ever see.
Alright then, but do you really think spending the last few years of your life choking to death on air pollution clogged lungs is somehow 'better'?
Seriously. 'Better air quality' isn't some fairytail greenpeace myth thing. There are and can be demonstrable differences in the 'quality' of the air we breathe, and, according to this study, the better the air a person breathes, the longer they live.
Now, they're not saying that extra lifespan is spent in 'nursing home hell', but do you really want to die/sooner/?
You seem to have your priorities confused, and I'm curious to understand the reasons why you think the way you do.
Personally, I'd rather live longer, and if better air quality is what it takes, then that's a sacrafice I'm prepared to make.

Oh, I dunno - how about the ethical ones?
Who haven't, say, made a living off of suing their customers, lying in court, using fraudulent evidence discovery mechanisms and bad evidence.
Seriously, why?
Players obviously want to do it.
Is it just a matter of developers wanting to be cocks to the people who are already /paying them money/ to play their game?
You sir, are someone I'd trust with the internet.
Hmm, for that evidence you want, I hear there's this story running on /. right now...

Thanks, Mormons.
No, not really.

Needless cruelty isn't justified by the history of the victim.
Eh, it just shows that, at heart, you're no different from them.

You were here to see it.
Good example of how a Monarchy should be have?
Seriously?
You think Monarchy that locks up anyone who criticizes it, in any way is... a 'good example' of a monarchy?
You're nuts.
"Moral"?
Are you joking?
Locking up anyone who criticizes you is /not/ moral.
Why would you think Obama had anything to do with this?
Do you also think Bush was at Gitmo?
No. The cake is a lie.
April Fools! ... ...
Yeah, but given the way the /. editors shit all over the page on April 1, who knows for sure?
In the United States (and, more and more the UK and Australia), children are the enemy.
Why?
If the slowdown isn't noticible, it doesn't.

Objective measurements.
Does that make it good, just, or laudable?
Evil is evil, no matter who does it.
Alright, the /internal/ tech might be neat, but...
It looks just like EVERY OTHER CAR put out in the last 20 years.
Seriously, have car makers forgotten to make a car look like anything other than a squashed jelly bean?
Tech might be nice, but it's just as dull and unimaginatevly plain looking as just about every other soulless melted bean blob out there.
Dissapointing.

Any school official, who strip searches a child, for any reason, is a pedophile.
Why are they not being treated as such?
Why?
