Except that it isn't a thought crime, if it were just a thought crime nobody would ever have noticed it. But because they went the extra step and actually went through with it, we now know that somebody feels that way about Jews and Black folks. Although, crime still shouldn't enter into it as it's at most a civil matter.
Not in the US it isn't. This is a case of an individual using his or her own equipment to spread a hateful message. Inevitably in a society with free speech you end up with some pretty disgusting hate filled speech being protected. This isn't Europe so we're going to have to tolerate it.
Now if this had said to kill all of them that likely would have crossed the line. But just racist and antisemitic statements aren't illegal, nor should they be.
It's not one half of the problem. Obama can't cut spending right now as that would just put us back in the recession. He can't raise taxes either as the GOP won't allow tax raises because of their fealty pledge to Norquist.
What's more Obama has taken a lot of the spending that had been off the books and placed it on the books. When you consider that the national debt was $10.6tn when Obama was inaugerated and consequently it's a bit odd to suggest that President Obama is half responsible, unless of course I missed the debt hitting $20tn. Plus, he's been cutting back on the out of control military spending that Bush used to run up the debt. $500m while notable, is hardly going to break the bank compared with the DoD spending even after the Iraq operations ceased.
The Federal Reserve does not print or issue money. Never have and hopefully never will. Those bills are printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the coinage is minted by the United States Mint.
The Federal Reserve only puts them into circulation when the Board of Governors authorizes it to do so. It is a bit complicated, but the Federal Reserve itself is a private entity that happens to have a board of publicly appointed figures.
The difference is that the government owns that water and is responsible for managing it. The government which is composed ultimately of the citizenry. There's nothing stopping you or any particular locality from buying the water rights to the water that falls on their land.In fact that's just what Seattle did a few years back. It was a shrewd move as the citizens get to catch all the water that falls on their land and they get a bit of a buffer when we get inundated with rain.
In Bolivia, that water belonged to private interests and there was effectively no way around it as one couldn't find any source of water that one was likely to be able to afford without being rich.
$356m isn't much money which is why it doesn't sound like much money any more. That's basically a little over $1 for every person that resides in the US. The problem is that unless it's really obvious up front it's typically not worth looking for these sorts of expenditures when the DoD alone represents more wasted money than pretty much all these small potatoes altogether.
More or less, if we want this to change we need to do something about patent trolls and force corporations to demonstrate the need to import workers to fill those jobs if they want to get the necessary visas granted.
He is crazy and it's their decision whether or not to extradite those folks. Now, if we invade and take the suspects by force, then he would have a point.
Unless these mega sites rent servers in the US, then this isn't at all analogous. By convention a bank robbery is considered to take place in the jurisdiction where the bank is located, regardless of where one might be when the bank is actually robbed.
It's very different to be located in a foreign country behaving in a way that might be legal there and then be hauled into a completely different country without jurisdiction because somebody else happened to be in their jurisdiction.
That's already happened in Bolivia. The IMF insisted that they privatize their water supply and eventually it got to the point where no water in the country was legal to collect or drink unless it had been bought from the cartel that controlled it.
PDFs suck when it comes to ebooks. Now the iPad may handle it better than the other options, but PDFs do not scale well and they are not intended to. They're intended for printing and exchanging in away that's essentially identical no matter what device you're using. Which is a very serious problem as it makes it really tough to use on an ebook reader.
No, the point is that the iPod didn't reinvent the market, they took what Creative had done, ripped it off and made it slightly smaller with a wheel on the front. That's not reinvention, that's stealing somebody elses work and trying to claim ownership of it. Which is why Apple got its ass handed to it when they got sued.
Apparently you missed the memo, whenever Apple enters a market they reinvent it. Doesn't matter if they're just refining what other people have already done.
In this case they're hardly the first to enter the etextbook market. B&N has had etextbooks for a while now. Granted they probably aren't quite as sophisticated, but it's not like Apple is the first to hop on this possible trend.
Not just that, I don't recall GOTOs even being talked about in any of the intro classes I took. It could just be the classes I took, but if they aren't covering it, you're probably not going to even know about it unless you're either familiar with BASIC or your looking for new things to try. In neither case would ignorance be a legitimate defense.
Better, switch to PC-Cillin and you'll be sure that nobody's exploiting your system. Because when it takes up 99% of your system resources you're sure as hell not going to bother turning it on anytime soon.
Anybody that still uses Symantec software more or less deserves what they get. I can't imagine that the enterprise version is any less crappy than the home version is.
Things like that are punished by having to deal with them later, and if you're not having to deal with them later then nothing is likely to get you to do it right.
Ultimately, these things are much better enforced in person. Yes, if you're a team of one that's not going to happen, but then again if you're a team of one, you had better know what you're doing and do it right without having people mocking you for poor style.
MS wants code for Windows to be as inept and inefficient as possible. I never thought they would get to the point where they weren't just tolerating poor practices, but encouraging them as well.
They've been doing that around here lately. The local utility has been switching to LED streetlights and they're wonderful. Rather than one bulb that has to burn out there is an array of like 20 LEDs that have to individually burn out. The color is much more pleasant than the older orangish color. Plus, I'm sure that they use a lot less power.
On a side note after about 25 years, they've finally fixed the street light out front of my parent's place.
If you're going to be an asshole about grammar and spelling you might want to actually be correct. The doesn't is wrong and the learnt is perfectly fine. Unless you're implying that the learning happened in the future which is just ridiculous.
No, it's definitely not security theater. It's one of those things that bears out in the crime statistics. Poor lighting, overgrown shrubs that impede the line of sight, tall buildings and allowing buildings to go into disrepair are all things which are linked to increased crime. And all of them except for maintenance of buildings have a logical explanation as to why they would help criminals commit certain types of crime.
If you're interested it's Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design and it's hardly security theater. Anybody with any common sense tends to steer clear of poorly lit areas with plenty of places to hide for a reason, those are areas that are easier for criminals to use to wait for victims.
Around here the electricity is provided by a public utility, however that does not mean that the mayor's office or city council get to dictate how they use their infrastructure. Which is how it should be, the people running the utility are often there much longer than a term in office is and are supposed to be making long terms plans so that you get stable service and hopefully affordable service as well.
Technically, Kodak invented digital then tried to bury it before anybody noticed. It's something which happens fairly often when the CEO can't fathom how to lead the company into the future.

Bad example, the Federal Reserve is a private entity.
