Life is, indeed, full of annoyances. Lawyers that spend more time in the courtroom getting in through the express line is one of them. And I don't personally think it's worthy of protest - surely there's something better to protest out there.
That said, I just read that the grand jury dismissed the charges against the two.
I didn't know he was cremated - but if the sibling comment is correct and he was, then that's the only thing standing between us and a perpetual motion machine. And that is why cremation is wrong.
Contrast with the "geranium alloy" that Enterprise recently came across, or the Voyager Particle of the Week (TM). TOS was just as ridiculous, but that's no reason to entirely throw out the timeline it and the other series are a part of.
Clone Wars? Are you on a Star Wars Trek or trying to fight the Star Trek Wars? I think you're referring to the Eugenics Wars.
As to the Romulans - they did them wrong. Romulans did not have warp drive early on, and even if they did - how much more retarded of movement sequences could they have come up with for that drone ship? Not to mention that even subspace communications has a time delay over that great a distance.
I'd like to see a new series, but too many people would have to die for it to be worth watching.
Standing outside a polling place on election day and telling gay jokes, nigger joks, kike jokes, and so on interferes with the business of the polling place, even though you're doing it on public property.
I'm not defending either side in this case, but neither am I passing judgment in favor of either.
My problem is that cell reception at my apartment is so unreliable that I need my landline to make any truly important first-impression call, such as to a potential employer or business associate. The majority of my calls are fine to use the cell phone for, but anything particularly sensitive needs the special reliability and sound quality guarantee of a land line.
I hope part of it lands on my field. I just haven't had anything to sell on eBay for a couple years. (I am not referring to Columbia. That's just wrong.)
I'll laugh my ass off if we try everything we can to warm Mars up and it all fails, proving that our arrogant belief that we can really fuck the Earth up beyond its ability to flush us off its surface and recover, bringing rise to a much more humble species that doesn't try shit like that or think that it can, is flat-out wrong.
You forgot to refute the part of his logic that assumes that one disreputable user makes the entire service disreputable. Some people use Slashdot to post "Gaynigger" trolls - does that make Slashdot a disreputable, homophobic, racist website? How about people who use Linux to develop Internet worms - does that make Linux a disreputable kernel?
For a group of people supposedly at least remotely qualified to perform scientific analysis, there is a whole hell of a lot of disregard for any sense of logic here at Slashdot.
There is precedent for foreseeability of criminal intervention not cutting off the causal chain between negligence and damages. For instance, a train negligently goes past a girl's stop and she has to walk 1 mile back to the stop as a result. On the way, she gets raped two times. The railroad is liable even though intentional criminal activity intervened, because it was foreseeable that she might get raped walking a mile alone at night along a railroad track.
I didn't read TFA, because I don't have TFT to FDI, so this may or may not be an even remotely plausible analogy to the case here, but it was worth pointing out.
I didn't see the parent comment as implying that sexually abused children would be better off dead at all. Rather, that they'd be better off if they hadn't been the victims of crime at all.
Also, consider the motivations to commit each crime and also the ease with which they are carried out. It would be extremely easy to rape and/or murder a child, and the only likely motive lies in deep sexual perversion or some other serious issue, as children most often can't be extorted, haven't killed your uncle, or whatever else motivates you to crime.
Murder of an adult, on the other hand, would be more difficult to pull off and would likely be justified by a better motive (not putting any motive above the line of "justifiable," but simply comparing to child molestation motives).
That's why even lifers in prison ostracize child molesters.
Your definition of "building" is no more correct than the one I used. Someone who builds a house is still building it even if he didn't grow, chop, and cut his own trees.
I know a guy who built a computer into a (non-working, I can only hope, although I only saw pictures) toilet. I don't think it ran NetBSD, but it could have. Oh, and hostname = Jon (he uses Garfield character names for his network naming scheme).
How the court chooses to operate is up to the court, as long as it's not racially discriminating or anything silly like that. For those people going to court pro se, if they are in the courtroom as often as the lawyers who are issued ID badges are, then they may be overly litigious but perhaps they should be issued a badge. I don't know how that court runs its business, but it's really no different than flight attendants going to the head of the line at airport security. The employee of an airline is no more special to the airport than a lawyer is to the courtroom.

Why do I get the impression that T'Pol wouldn't appreciate a hardcore slashdotting?

I was thinking in terms of how much it would cost to hire a writing team that's actually seen an episode of the original series.

Those of us driving SUVs on Mars will eventually figure out why the supplies stopped coming.

Just because you hang out exclusively with disreputable people does not mean that the entire world consists of nothing else.

Congratulations. IAALS in the US. Cheers. :)
You don't happen to study law down under, do you?
Not my neighborhood. This happened a long time ago and I don't remember where. There are various other cases supporting this theory, as well.

You're presuming that there will be a conviction. You're also presuming that your sources are entirely objective. Neither is certain.
You keep tracking me down.

It won't run on the Cray J90, either. Otherwise I'd have one.

And I just noticed that I began a sentence "Of you..." instead of "If you..." Clearly, I had too much to drink last night.
