but don't expect me to fucking notice or even care about who i am responding to.
I don't expect anything from you, except for you to keep tugging that line. You're so worked up, and in so many places all over this thread, you can't even make reasonable arguments anymore without swearing up a storm or calling people stupid.
if i sell you a gun, am i responsible for what you do with the gun?
If I tell you what to do with said gun first, then yes, I would also be liable. If you tell me you plan to use a gun to commit a crime, I would also be liable if I then sold you a gun. This logic has been applied to all sorts of criminal activity (for example, building secret compartments into cars).
/welp, I've run out of anonymous posts for the day. Good thing the karma burner is fully fueled.
For the record, Slashdot is a discussion forum for entertainment, and people discuss all sorts of things, including the topic at hand, the state of their life, the state of other peoples' lives, the state of other posters' lives, advertisements for GNAA, etc..
I can't help it if you don't know which other posts are mine--and it's not my problem to make you aware of that. Try asking Timothy.
You take this shit way too seriously buddy. Have a chill pill.
Damnit Cold, you need to stop making reasonable points. It's almost like you're losing your edge. For a minute there, I almost mistook you for anyone else.
I stopped keeping a large digital music collection when I upgraded iTunes and it decided to nuke my entire library on installing the newest version. 80 GB of music, all perfectly tagged, all gone. That was back around 2007, whichever version that was.
Needless to say, I was furious. I also no longer use iTunes.
In AMT 7.0, Intel makes it possible to use a 3G cellular signal to send that remote kill command, greatly improving your chances of deactivating a stolen computer before it gives up any sensitive information. Administrators can use similar technology to reactivate the computer once it is recovered.
If I am standing outside a house, and I hear screaming (as in, sounds like someone is being stabbed to death screaming), am I trespassing (as an unqualified, ordinary civilian) if I set foot in the house to aid the presumably imminently-in-danger person?
(Yes, I know this varies by jurisdiction, but what the hell..)
No, I leave the bears outside and the mailman hides stuff inside to keep it away from them. Occasionally the bears get curious and try to come inside, but I don't encourage it, and I don't think my mailman does.
You don't define who's trespassing on your property when they have a customary reason to be there. You can't take the mailman to court for trespassing, you can't take the police to court for chasing a suspect through your house and out a window, and you can't take a registered solicitor to court for trespassing (provided they leave as soon as you ask). If the fire department shows up with a reported emergency, they can bust in and there's not shit you can do about it. Building inspector? Same deal. Health inspector? Yep.
A registered solicitor leaving a flyer is NOT considered littering. You cannot win that in court. Ever try to get rid of Jehovah's Witnesses? They always leave shit. Good luck.
You don't define it. Trespassing is defined by the law, which allows you to take certain actions to encourage a certain set of people to leave, but it does not automatically mean that anyone who sets foot on your property is trespassing just because you don't like it.
TL;DR: The world is more nuanced than your "LALALALA FINGERS IN EARS" view of things.
Hey, if I'm the mailman, I can walk all the way up to your front door. Slipping the picture inside would be expected. My mailman leaves stuff in my mudroom to keep it out of the rain & dirt (sometimes bears).
Granted, that doesn't apply to people who don't have a customary reason for being there. Police officer can chase a suspect without trespassing, mailman can come up to your door and slip stuff inside, building inspector can come inside for inspections as they wish, etc..
A person who has contacted the local police station and registered as a solicitor is welcome to place flyers on your doorknob. There is no trespass in that instance. Many moons ago, I worked as a canvasser for a political organization, and walking onto private property was a big part of the job--but the entire team generally needed to register with the local police.
When you live in a culture where police brutality is a thing; When you live in a culture where merely taking notice of the police is a revolutionary act; When you live in a culture where turning a blind eye to those in need is the norm; When you live in a culture where merely questioning the state can lead to arrest; When you live in a culture where an officer can shoot someone in the back while running away and get off scot-free; When you live in a culture where an officer can shoot small children without notice; When you put your own ass and assets on the line to take notice, holding a camera and recording video is indeed a brave act. The person holding the camera is a hero.
This is no longer happening in CPython. The naive case is specially handled to have O(n) behavior and is significantly faster than flattening a list of individual strings all at once.
The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution explicitly permits felony disenfranchisement. But it has been pointed out that constitutional approval of felons' political powerlessness is not the same as constitutional approval of government prejudice toward the politically powerless. Such prejudice may violate the Equal Protection Clause, which contains no provision authorizing discrimination against felons. A "discrete and insular" minority subject to prejudice, in particular, may be considered particularly vulnerable to oppression by the majority, and thus a suspect class worthy of protection by the judiciary.[6]
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

Seems like this is going pretty smoothly.
Do I even need to say anything? Could I just post a blank reply?
You don't seem inclined to reply to my other comments which actually address the topic (again, not my issue if you don't know which ones those are).
I take it that you have nothing to say about the topic at hand.
i don't fucking care about you, so stop interacting with me personally...
Clearly. That's why you keep replying.
This is like shooting fish in a barrel.

i'm not your friend.
I sure as hell hope you're not.

How about you go off your meds again? That was pretty entertaining for a few years.
This is, by far, the weirdest thread on Slashdot, ever.
Face it, any thread which has both Cold Fjord and Circletimessquare making insightful points is weird. Are pigs about to fly?
Damnit Cold, you need to stop making reasonable points. It's almost like you're losing your edge. For a minute there, I almost mistook you for anyone else.
Services are still typically export controlled items. Read ITAR sometime.

About once every couple of weeks or so. You should've been there the night the bear ate goombaw.
I would've modded this +1 Funny if I had points. It walks that very fine razor's edge of Poe's Law, but I suspect it falls on the side of parody.
I'm going to confuse the question now.

Retarded, justice system is. For you that fixed.

That's okay, I found another publication to cite.
GP probably won't be, seeing as there is a long-standing tradition of not reading TFA, TFS, and often, TFC.
I'm mostly here for the comments.
Spent all my mod points over in another story, but now I really wish I hadn't. +1 Insightful.
I think we need to do realistic, full-scale test runs of this concept with the intended participants. Just to, er, get them some practice.
