I didn't read the post you responded to, but do you seriously think that posting sources or arguing your point in a proficient manner are requirements for being modded informative?
We do, it's in Stockholm. I've been there as a part of school where we had a look at democracy versus totalitarian regimes. We didn't tell them that, of course, we told them we were doing a special work no NK.
Anyways, it's there and they'd be happy to share some of their pretty good tea with you, aswell as pins with the NK flag and some propaganda magazines. Oh, and books by Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung, newspapers, and general hospitality. Just make sure to call them a week or so beforhand.
Should also note that this is one of the few embassies they have.
This is the best discussion on slashdot for a good while, lovelove moral philosophy.
Your post is enlightening and it shone a light on a part of evolution that I hadn't previously thought of (saving near relatives.)
Another interesting topic on evolution that relate to this is how it was (during the period when the majority human biology was formed) actually beneficial to attack a neighbouring tribe when your food grew scarce, because either you would prevail and live on, or your women and children would be taken by the other tribe - passing on your genes.
Heh, that was a bit of a tangent, though. What I want to ask of you is source material for the following claim:
In fact, recent economic research has shown that the basis of the free market, the "selfish actor" theory, is false. People are not primarily motivated by self interest. They are motivated by a sense of fairness, reciprocity, and altruism.
Mostly out of interest, but also because having that source ready to support my own (altruist/socialist/meta-utilitarian blabla) claims would be lovely.
They probably just had a spider search for all their show names and log the urls that turned up, then they had a program put those URLs in a prepared paper form, whereafter they were brought to google in some manner.
Yes, they are. You'll shit bricks when you find out that most users don't even disable "hide extensions for known file formats," and wouldn't be able to tell a.bmp from a.jpg
Actually assuming that earth is round, and that christians don't live at the polar areas, god would be shaped as a torus, existing around earth (as people pray upwards.)
Like linux servers, then? No, wait - that just ruined your insinuation that the reason linux is secure is obscurity.
Anyways, with ISPs I would say the demographies are pretty equal (though I have no facts to back that up) - which means the amount of trojans per ISP would rise as the number of users increases.
It's not more secure, but security issues are placed in somebody elses hands and mind. If something goes wrong it's Google who will take the (financial) fall. In essence, they are outsourcing security to Google.
Sometimes walking the walk is harmful to your long-term goals. Remember that they need computers to spread opinion and get laws created, and that they are not large enough a group to have any impact at all if they choose to walk the walk.
This is just like the fuckass "vote with your money" argument. Some people have more money than others, thus that wouldn't be a proper way to vote in a democracy. Stop complaining when people try to create grassroot movements, that's the way democracies work.
Remember that the reason the Pirate Bay's servers were confiscated originated in pressure from RI/MP-AA. Do not expect them to stop pushing. America has a history of pushing it's beliefs and laws on other nations.
I guess their assumption is not shared by MPAA's lawyers, then.
I fully agree with their assumptions, but can't say I'm very hopeful of them ever being appreciated by media companies at large.

You must be new here, etc.

Hands down.

You're sounding like an anti-nationalist terrorist to me, sir.
A McCarthy van has been deployed and will arrive to wiretap your house within the hour, have a nice day.
Right on, viking brother! To the longboats!
The RIAA aren't a company, they're an organisation put up by the recording industry companies. I believe they're even non-profit.
People elsewhere will bow their heads in disgust and proclaim: "Only in Slashdotia."

BUT I'M ENCOUNTERING UNEXPECTED INTERFERENCE!
Don't read this text. It was added to fill out the form so that my excessive capslock usage would be accepted by the anti-spam system. VIAGRA.

A quick bath in the money pool would make that go away fast enough.

Yes. No free dinner.

Godspeed.
Unless you created, and own, the software that does the scrambling I'd say no :(

Life isn't fair son, but now you know to use water-based lubricants. It's nature's way. *TV ad smile*
The DMCA made it illegal to bypass any kind of content scrambling without explicit authorization from whoever scrambled the content.
