The GP is right, you do not have an inherent right to enter any country (USA included) you are not a citizen of. Now, whether this fact is relevant to the discussion or not is a matter of opinion.
Are we going to be throwing meatspace postal workers into jail when they read the text next to the address on a postcard?
If a group of postal workers read every single postcard you sent or received via that service, saved all the text in a database, indexed and cross-indexed it by keywords, dates, senders and recipients, addresses and names... Than, yes, I'd expect their asses to be thrown in jail for a long time.
Cops seriously have immunity to the point where the public won't have a fit. In other words, if it can be covered up, cops won't ever get in trouble for it.
Incorrect.
Cops have immunity that extends way beyond the "the public won't have a fit" point. They don't even care about coverups anymore because fuck you.
About 10 times as many die from motor vehicle accidents each year in the US as died in the 911 attack. This doesn't warrant some traffic cop activity?
No.
It doesn't warrant "some traffic cop activity", it may warrant specific activity that was proven effective in reducing motor vehicle accidents (as opposed to just extracting money from citizens). However, it definitely warrants investing in better infrastructure.
Do not repeat the classic politician fallacy: 1. Something must be done 2. X is something 3. Therefore, X must be done.
It encodes information in symbols. Namely: "a system of rules shared by the participants in an act of communication, making possible the transmission and interpretation of messages."
Granted, it's not computer code but then you've been taking this conversation more seriously than I intended it to be.
I think all his classmates should download the app, make similar videos and upload them to youtube just to show how ridiculous this is. They can't arrest them all.
They don't need to arrest all of them. They just need to make them fear that they will be the one made example of. That's how you terrorize and control the population.
Furthermore, you don't use bimbo when referring to a stupid male, you use it when referring to a stupid female.
Interestingly: The word bimbo derives itself from the Italian bimbo, derived from bambino a masculine-gender term that means (male) baby or very young (male) child (bimbo's feminine equivalent is bimba). Use of this term began in the United States as early as 1919, and was a slang word used to describe an unintelligent or brutish man. -- Wikipedia

Irregardless, that war's been lost for a while.
... and you could care less.
"resident aliens" to use the US governments description have a right to enter the US.
Not exactly.
What they have is permission, that can be revoked (along with their resident status) by CIS.
Rights tend to be more absolute.
Fuck you, you neofascist loser.
How come this flamebait is at +5 insightful?

Everybody hates it, so it will make it to final release without changes.
Idiot.
And I'm Alex. Nice to make your acquaintance.
Is it feasible to use the web with no trusted root CAs at all?

Because, while all animals are equal, some are more equal than others.
Most family's are forced to send there child to public schools by there circumstances.
I sympathize.
Everything is a crime unless officially sanctioned by the government

Fixing Class Action lawsuits, and other similar torts would be easy.
Not when the people who have the power to effect such a change have a vested interest in perpetuating the status quo.
When the system no longer "Promtes progress of science and useful arts" ... it is broken.
The system is working as designed.

Huh?

What do you mean? They only provide source, no binaries there, sir! (Although you can also get stuff pre-compiled.)
please, feel free to test that theory.. but submit your change of address at the post office, first.
See my previous comment.
You are a living proof that the strategy is working!

I'm looking for examples of beautiful open source code in any language. If you know of any, please let me know.

Hmm, my drives send me emails when they start having problems.
You're lucky. My kids' drives just update their FB status while my parents' drives calls at 2am complaining that I should visit more often.
The MS research videos do not seem to load.
you set precedence. Big Business cooperation with the government is what got us here in the first place.
For this reason, we no longer trust either of you.
And we don't give a damn.
Sincerely,
Big Business & Government.

Some people are offended by my use of the term "ffs", and that's fine, they are right to be offended, and I'm being offensive here for a reason.
Bloody hackers...
This is one of those risk mitigation plans we were talking about the other day which helps the US government find the "bad guys".
Here's a collection of tools that can be much more effective in helping the US government find the bad guys.
