I guess that's the crux of it. Why are cruel and unusual punishments so bad, as long as they fit the crime? You rape a kid, you get you junk sawed off. Cruel? Not really, because you're protecting the shitbird from himself. And it wouldn't be very unusual if we did it all the time and made it usual. I don't really understand why as a culture we're scared of being cruel to bad people.
What's funny (pun intended) is that the people who didn't think Seinfeld was funny attribute it to the show itself instead of their own lack of a sense of humor. The fact that they don't "get it" sort of solidifies it.
India's legal system might not have the same standards that the US system has. You can't really base judgment on India's system using the US standards as a measure, especially considering the number of innocent people who are sent to jail in the US.
I don't know about California, but in New England they have cameras that can match up a vehicle with a FASTLANE transmitter. It would not be very hard to also hook up license plate scanners. This seems like a crime with very little payoff, and huge chance of getting caught.
Easy to write? Yes. How about maintain? Every instance I've encountered Boost has been a nightmare. Boost tends to encourage the template swamp, that miserable wretched pile of crap which you end up with when people overuse templates and fail to properly comment their code. You can end up with some serious convoluted shit pretty easily with Boost. Eventually you learn it and can decipher it, but that means that every single person on the team, and all newcomers need to waste time getting up to speed on a single 3rd party library. 99% of the time people use Boost for things they really shouldn't just because it's there. It also tends to encourage over-engineering of systems because of the multitude of complex tools available. It's not to say that Boost isn't nice or has it's uses, but people should be very cautious in how they use it.
Sure, it's the right of first sale. Can I re-sell a textbook that I've underlined, annotated, crossed words out, drawn diagrams, erased diagrams, etc..? Sure. It's up to the buyer to verify that he's buying what he thinks he's buying. If he wants a pristine unmodified copy of a book, he needs to verify that before he purchases. If the buyer asks me if it's unmodified, and I lie, then it's fraud. But if I say "yes it's been modified" then it's caveat emptor -- buyer beware...
Sure he was. He is spreading the idea that you should be FEARful to wipe your CD circularly, which is completely unfounded and thus a total UNCERTAINTY, filling the reader with DOUBT as to what to do.
So what you essentially say is that a criminal, no matter how "trivial" or unrelated to homicide his transgression may be, is by the very fact that he broke a law a potential mass murderer?
Every single person alive, innocent or guilty, is a potential mass murderer.

Just prey to GOD you're not in seat 32A, with a fatty in 32B and C.
Or even worse, you're in 32B and the fatty is in 32A and 32C
This could be the key to making a giant lunar observatory
Or a fully functional battle-station.
Halfteroid
Except in the places where it snows and tire chains are illegal to use.
All I can say is that this could make a very excellent Simpsons episode.

Well in that case, there won't be anyone left to re-locate.
Whoosh! I'm pretty sure that was the entire crux of his one sentence, which you expanded into three paragraphs.

would you then be able to sell the modified copy

Call your local community college and ask if the electronics programs can use the parts. Those guys are usually happy to salvage free stuff.
Who's to say that that's the real NOC, and not a decoy?
PhysX is a complete physics engine, much like Havok. Both CPU and GPU physics, and a software "renderer" for those without accelerator hardware.
Novodex, not Novodox
Real Black Hats don't buy tickets online

If it can play Rescue Raiders and Ultima, I'm in.
Just wait until they figure out how to merge Goatse with SWF
Sinks, showers, baths... all on the "avoid" list for Slashdotters
It doesn't matter what they actually believe, it's what they can trick congress into believing.
