When that logic explains why there are no playgrounds in schools and why my kids aren't aloowed to climb trees in parks anymore then I will listen to your opinions. The damage is done the world is screwed. All hail our law degree holding overlords!
You never had a spine did you. If anyone ever hit me, which happened a fair bit at school because I was a bad kid, the last thing I would ever do was obey them. On your same highlighted Pavlovian conditioning most kids know when they have done something wrong so you ask them to come to you. That's mistake one, the second mistake is if you ask them to trust you. Most kids are smart enough to run away before being hit if you use your authority to make a child come to you then hit them what does that tell them? As I said in opening if you had the balls you wouldn't walk the line out of fear of reprisals but out of a sense of pride or a genuine desire to do the right thing. That can't be taught by hitting someone all you get from that sort of action is a cowardly follower.
Yes I do believe cities can run without law enforcement. I don't believe alot of US cities could but hey. I've lived in area's where severe weather caused even the police to leave town. Did anarchy take over and everyone run amok? A few did but that happens even with police unless you live under a rock. Violence from authority figures is always bad. Just like parents if police need to resort to violence they have already failed long ago.
Oh come on now, next we will have people coming out and saying "my folks hit me and it never did me any harm". The only people who ever say that usually follow up with raving about why they can't hit their kids or someone elses or how police should beat people to a pulp. I think the harm was done, whoever takes the worked-out-alright-for-me phrase is usually a raving loon. Leave the room slowly and keep both eyes on them lest they see your fear.
I see two countries, Thailand and Brazil no one is mentioning the country the article says is making it, India. Besides I support Brazil in this case, lives should always come above profits.
I feel you here. If you don't stand up to your boss they will always walk all over you. Last time I told my boss to shove it I got a promotion for being well spoken and assertive. Plus as someone who has been homeless it's bad but it's still better than living in the suburbs.
In the Australia of today you will find it can and will happen. We live in the age of the marginal seat where throwing money and policies at small noisy minorities is the best way to get yourself elected.
On a side point though the most likely way this will be resolved is the American way, a large and costly lawsuit. May the biggest pockets win!
It's always human error. Technical security flaws are now quite uncommon compared to social engineering and whatnot. Perfect software will never happen because some programmers are stupid, illiterate and incompetent, and those are just the ones I've worked with. Seriously expecting secure software is like expecting Jesus to descend from the heavens and fix all our software bugs. I would not hold my breath if I were you.
Yes living is such a horrible profit, how dare Thai people live while Multinational Drug Companies suffer slightly lower profits. Newsflash dying people in third world countries don't have much money to pay for drugs, or software or even food. How bout waking up and smelling the corpses and the results of unlimited greed.
There comes a point when people do refuse to accept the laws dictated at them. Eventually people will have enough of this sort of thing, it's happened before and it will happen again. Just because something is set in law doesn't make it good or accepted. Look up martial law, when everything is illegal people will break laws. This law is much more concerning to me than the laws on wiretapping and I don't live in the States. Corporate rule is much mroe worrying than "democratic" rule.
If you actually knew, yes, they were prevented from digging wells and catching rain in buckets. Why don't you read up on it it was a subsidury of Bechtel.
The freedom to act with your own property and not harm others property is pointless. You can't speak out against anything as it may damage commerical interests, you have freedom of movement as long as you don't hold up traffic, you have freedom to wear what you want until the mall or local business association decides you are damaging their profits with a black shirt. Why do you want such restricted "freedom"?
As for not being able to express you human rights the most expression of human rights I have ever seen has been from people with nothing during martial law. You don't need a document to tell you how you can live you need the willpower to just live. Human rights are never garenteed or protected and they can never really be enforced, they only exist in the actions of humans.
What an exiting glimpse of the future your post offers. I'm being serious if that's how it is for you now imagine what it's going to be like in 10 or 20 years. Pretty scary future if you ask me as I can't see things getting any better while the almighty dollar reigns supreme.
I'll give you one reason and one reason only, Power. These cards are one of the best performance per watt cards recently. They literally beat the pants off all the other cards. I'm getting one because I don't want to spend $300 on a PSU.
You underestimate me! Humans write compilers too. Most humans may not understand the complexity but that does not mean all can't. Remember a team of humans designed cell as well.

Sorry I only have 640k it didn't load the whole way.
Well yes you can I am also at university with debt over my head but the motivation and independance to stand on my own feet and not still suckle.

I felt that way too when I first saw John Howard. But back on topic Australia certainly swallows whatever the US shoots at the moment.

A French grammar nazi! They had a word for people like you, collaborator.

I for one also don't welcome them but I unlike you am willing to stand up and say it without anonymity or cowardice.

Putin is starting to lose it, he's on a return to his KGB tactics and training. Say goodbye to democracy Russia!

Another reason why I'm not going to buy vista.
Not to mention Norfolk, Christmas and Cocos Islands. Tasmania isn't as small as alot of people think and it has broadband too.

BSOD is rare because they cut time it's displayed. How many times do you see error reporting or whatever else? Too many.
Wireless communication has been around in ghettos since it was invented. Why I often hear people shouting at each other when I walk past ghettos.
