2. My religious liberty is at risk because: A) I am not allowed to marry the person I love legally, even though my religious community blesses my marriage. B) Some states refuse to enforce my own particular religious beliefs on marriage on those two guys in line down at the courthouse.
3. My religious liberty is at risk because: A) I am being forced to use birth control. B) I am unable to force others to not use birth control.
4. My religious liberty is at risk because: A) I am not allowed to pray privately. B) I am not allowed to force others to pray the prayers of my faith publicly.

6. My religious liberty is at risk because: A) I am not allowed to purchase, read or possess religious books or material. B) Others are allowed to have access books, movies and websites that I do not like.
7. My religious liberty is at risk because: A) My religious group is not allowed equal protection under the establishment clause. B) My religious group is not allowed to use public funds, buildings and resources as we would like, for whatever purposes we might like.
8. My religious liberty is at risk because: A) Another religious group has been declared the official faith of my country. B) My own religious group is not given status as the official faith of my country.

If you answered "A" to any question, then perhaps your religious liberty is indeed at stake. You and your faith group have every right to now advocate for equal protection under the law.
If you answered "B" to any question, then not only is your religious liberty not at stake, but there is a strong chance that you are oppressing the religious liberties of others.
A major change to the black box system like adding video would require a new design, flight qualifications, etc. etc. It's a lot of effort, and most of the people who regulate aviation seem to have a pretty firm grasp on cost/benefit analysis, from what I can see.
At minimum, a video recorder would need a lot more fixed storage than a audio recorder, it would need a higher speed IO bus and probably more buffer memory, and camera placement would need to be determined for every model plane it would be installed in. Then this new design would have to be tested to make sure it can survive crash conditions while preserving the data.
It would take a multi-million dollar program involving dozens of engineers just to take a prototype from design to basic functional testing.
No one is going to do that unless it offers a substantial benefit.
Well, there's right and wrong, and then there's textbook grammar rules, and then there's the way people actually speak and write. Which way do you think the hierarchy runs?
Does right and wrong dictate which rules are the correct rules of grammar, which then informs the writers of grammar textbooks, which in turn gets people to speak and write the way they do?
I feel strongly that there is a response in between ignoring anonymous calls, and roaring to the scene in full-on SWAT mode, busting down the door and giving everyone who is unlucky enough to be inside the worst day of their lives.
Well if you're going to cry about it, here's a kleenex. And to help make you feel better, please have some jello. If you don't get the joke, google it.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to xerox and fax my ID somewhere.
There was another version - Descent: Online - that was featured on one of the first online game services, ENGAGE Games Online, launched by Interplay in 1995. That was my second IT job. I think we supported up to 32 players in a single game, divided into two teams.
I was more into Rolemaster: Magestorm (a multiplayer FPS/RPG from Mythic Entertainment, same studio as Dark Age of Camelot),.

In other words, the answer to the question "Why Does Science Appear To Be Getting Things Increasingly Wrong?" is "Because you're listening to crackpots."
No,/. is more inclined than the general population to embrace anti-establishment points of view. So if/. thinks you're out there, you might be really out there.
The chief continued... "Because kids are smart they might suspect that their own PC is keylogged, and use another computer in the house to avoid being supervised properly. To avoid this I suggest installing keyloggers in all computers in the household. Now, parents I know are very busy and it is hard to keep up with all this tech, so to help you be a better parent, the department has setup a website where you can register your keylogger and upload its data to our servers, where department specialists will look for any red flags that need to be brought to your attention concerning your child's online activities. Once this program is more widely adopted by your child's friend's families, we will all be able to keep all our children safe online, no matter which computer they use."
Maybe the studios are tiring of unimaginative attempts to fleece some money out of them for yet another forgettable remake of another forgotten film. I know I am.
Can anyone think of a reason to remake Barbarella or Heavy Metal that is more engaging and compelling than any reasons for remaking The Man Who Fell To Earth or The Quiet Earth or RoboCop? Oh wait, an R-rated remake of that one is already in the works. Guess the article was mistaken.
The government doesn't have to default on the bonds - at any time the congress can just change the rules. There is no "contract" here, that you'll be paid back. There is only a law that can be replaced by another law at any time.
What are you going on about? Your wireless carrier, cable company, internet service, gaming service, mail service, news service, bank, credit card and so many others change terms unilaterally all the time. Private contracts like this seem useless as a means of guaranteeing future performance. Laws, by comparison, are practically eternal.
All future arrangements between people are contingent on those people complying with the arrangements at that future date. Laws are another step or two up the ladder of enforceability compared to private contracts.
Besides, you need laws to permit the enforcing of contracts.
Are you really against simplifying the taxes so that they are so simple and transparent that politicians could no longer play favorites with their soup du jour special interests?
How would a simpler tax code prevent corruption? Why not enforce the laws against official corruption that we already have or strengthen them? That makes more sense than changing the tax code.
Most politicians' special interests are the constituents in their districts. They got elected because they promised to play favorites in Congress with their own district's interests. Why would you not want Congresspersons to represent their constituents? Who would you prefer they represent instead?
Slashdot Mirror
I have a HD box set with the original theatrical release, both released director's cuts and three film festival cuts.
Unfortunately, it's HD-DVD. I can only play it with the external HD-DVD player attached to my Xbox360.
Is that counting followers of InfoSec Taylor Swift? @SwiftOnSecurity
Congratulations. You have understood the point perfectly.

Sort of like how Microsoft is responsible for fixing bugs in Windows?

ed is a line editor.
readline is a command line editor.
I think it's more like saying the self-driving car is a disappointment because it repeatedly ran over my neighbor.
Is this where a helpful /.-er is supposed to post a link to TFA?
Well, there's right and wrong, and then there's textbook grammar rules, and then there's the way people actually speak and write. Which way do you think the hierarchy runs?
Does right and wrong dictate which rules are the correct rules of grammar, which then informs the writers of grammar textbooks, which in turn gets people to speak and write the way they do?
Pay attention: existing police policy is already being taken advantage of to grief innocent people for lulz.

Amazon: Big on Net Neutrality, not so much on Book Neutrality.
Because I'm homeless.
