I have never participated in either type.
But if you cannot see the difference between skillfully borrowing the cannon (which will obviousely be returned without damage) and getting drunk and painting some organization's door and windows you are pretty screwed up.
Oh and legality has nothing to do with it. It is technically illegal for the cannon to be stolen, good luck finding someone to file a complaint for criminal charges though. If my house had been painted like the parent described, guess what, first call we be to the police. or if I knew who it was, we will see how they like my prank of a baseball bat crashing through their car windows.
Speaking in absolutes,
some people just dont get it.
and no the US has not killed more Iraqis than Saddam, he was brutally torturing, then murdering people (like making them drink gasoline, then shooting them) at a rate of 200 a day for over 2 decades.
so
Well see you were guilty of destruction of private property (or govt property had it been the cannon)
Basically, you committed a crime. MIT participated in a rivalry and Caltech will not want charges pressed if they found out who it was.
See the difference between implied consent to "borrow" things when it is a fun rivalry and mindless vandalism
Why would it be?
it is a rivalry that both actively participate in. You could even claim a loose consent.
Or did you think Caltech (of the Rosebowl fame) is gonna file charges for activities they regularly partake in.
Yeah, I doubt it
But then the anti bush slashdot sheeps wouldnt have anything to bitch about.
Like when that Sony guy got fired, for talking to the media, same thing. But if Bush was CEO of Sony there would have been calls for a formal investigation.
Except that is happening,. global warming is a pretty big topic, the public simply doesnt care.
to quote lord of war. "why worry about something that can kill you in 10 years, when there are so many things that can kill you now"
That is the public attitude, and lack of information has nothing to do with it.
Actually 9/11 has nothing to do with it. 911 does. People absolutely fucking suck when it comes to 911. they suddenly dont know what street they are on, the address, their middle name. this helps cut the bullshit out when dealing with an emergancy, aka panic in the average person
good idea. lots of room for abuse, just isnt credible yet
Its the simple situation of "yes i know, but i dont KNOW!"
My entire family would rather keep it that way.
Ive written a note that would be found saying "Dont go reading my private correspondance"
hmmm, I wonder what kind of dead man switch you could do. some virus that is used to kill their computer saying "I told you not to fucking read my stuff"
Yes they are....and you can dick around for decades before paying anything signicant.
Civil judgements in this country dont exactly have the biggest weight in the world.
Particularly when you have no income to speak of, yeah. hell you could putz around deciding on a payment plan through the courts (cheaply) for years.
I have been saying this for a long time.
Basically to sum it up. Linux (and netbsd) ARE ready for the desktop.
Because the end user wouldnt be installing linux, just like they dont install/upgrade windows. Someone else does that, the administrator, or the kid down the street. The administrative details can still lack, but that is immaterial since the person doing the work is already knowledgable (in theory)
As long as their is an easy to use GUI available that makes it easy to get to their mail, the web, and possibly type something up, that satisfies most people's requirements.
And the warnings that are on a box usually tell you WHY it was rated that way. Pretty easy to determine. Is it fantasy violence (like the crusades and stuff or is it blood and gore)
If the readership of the site was primarily women yes those descriptions would be used about men. The demographics make up what descriptions will be used. In this case women in tech is a more of a rarity (and dont bullshit about the attitudes of men preventing it, that is just plain silly) so an attrictive woman will be pointed out as such
and you are honestly suprised that a group of people that dont generally have the best luck with the ladies would make an offcolor comment about looks.
well basically you are fighting a losing battle. The majority on this site are men, simply a fact. Most either dont care about that comment, or thought it was funny. Feel free to pursue a society that doesnt care about looks, but slashdot probably isnt a good starting point.
Maybe they are more concerned with reform in their country, where it is probably achievable and not concerned with the international movement, which wont really happen until the individual countries start to

Please do, idiots like you should be locked up.

Are you serious?

too bad it isnt theft. There is an understanding between the schools

Just goes to show you have no idea how bad Saddam was.. read a bit of history before making idiotic generalizations
wow, no response to a very interesting, well thought out mini article. well i dont have modpoints, but you deserve +10.

yes because you only ever install just the linux kernel. jackass.

It is only a civil judgement. Or pay them a couple of dollars a month (and it wont look bad then cause you are trying to pay)
Despite what some people thing, developers dont have to be paid.
Well then I am gonna click them as frequently as possible so that slashdot gets charged for being ultra annoying.
Or did Xerox hack slashdot because these ads are really crappy. I never bothered to block ads on this site before but I am about to now.

so wouldnt comments from morons prevent women from doing any job... because those comments exist in every form of work by some idiots
People that dont have a problem ignoring the law?
