Had you not been spying on all of us without warrants we wouldn't be encrypting our stuff. Act like the bad guy, don't be surprised when your treated like a bad guy.
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Ben Franklin
He knew about this a couple of hundred years ago. And let us not forget George Carlin's prophetic words:
"When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jack-boots. It will be Nike sneakers and Smiley shirts." - Beware those who "know what's good for you".
We are giving away the most amazing thing human beings have ever done, the decision and experiment that they can govern themselves. It's dying in our lifetimes.
That should also means that regular phone companies would be liable because two terrorists planned a bomb attack over the phones...
No that doesn't mean that. In fact it means exactly the opposite. The comment was that deviation from common carrier behavior forfeits the protections for common carriers. Phone companies are common carriers. So they are protected. Cable/Internet Companies are not, by their own designs, so they should not have common carrier protections.
Actually, corporations are legally required to be psychotic. A CEO has a fiduciary responsibility to the share holders to maximize profit, whether he agrees with the course or not, and whether there are more morally desirable actions they want to do. They can be fined or imprisoned for straying from this.
Easy to test right? Put a WiFi transmitter a room with the child and ask them him/her to determine when it is on. My guess is that the chances are 50/50, like if you asked to tell you if your fingers are crossed behind your back.
I would add that I have NEVER been paid for doing what I learned at University. I specialized in CS where we learned compilers (never wrote on of those), C++ (helpful, but never worked in that language), Computer Theory - FSA's and Kleene's theorem (not really useful beyond understanding the theoretical underpinnings of logic), etc., Operating Systems (this one was handy when I discovered Linux). I also did a lot of Math (Graph Theory, Calc I, II, III and DiffEq's, Probablility, Game Theory), and Physics. You also DON'T learn how to program in teams (didn't know about version control, UML, Writing specs, code standards, enterprise design or any of the other things that are my daily bread and butter.
That being said, University was critical because I made connections (still friends with my fellow CS'ers), learned how to learn, and how to persevere through complex problems. So IMHO, learning the underlying principles was CRITICAL to success, since technologies, design philosophies, and languages come and go. If you get a "job ready" degree, you'll be behind the curve as soon as you graduate.
And don't for that in the Soviet War on Afghanistan, in desperation, the Soviets dropped land mines that looked like stuffed animals to kill Afghan children.
I run Linux Mint 17.2 and Cinnamon crashes consantly. And yet, while my Windoze laptop provides a crappy experience, has never crashed. That being said, I still use Linux at home because once it gets stable enough, it's more in line with what I believe in. Freedom.
Yeah, I mean if it wasn"t for the sky high cost of gas, we've wouldn't have moved on to alternatives at scale, right? Oh yeah, that's right. Exactly what he said happened. Where's the blind faith?
Am I the only one who doesn't give a shit about this? Is the expectation now that no animals die as a result of human activity. 3/day seems pretty good to me.
I like Conan the Barbarian's answer (minus the hint of racism):
"Let me live deep while I live; let me know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate, the hot embrace of white arms, the mad exultation of battle when the blue blades flame and crimson, and I am content. Let teachers and priests and philosophers brood over questions of reality and illusion. I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content."

Why isn't everyone MAD about this?

Guns germs and steel my good social justice warrior. It's not that they have the right, it's just the way it's always worked.
But this is a case of the cure being wprsw than the disease.
I freaking hate this point of view. What self-loathing jackass wants to save the world for not-humans?
Just one more argument for Continuous Delivery. If it doesn't pass automated testing, it doesn't get promoted.
Everybody loves nature, except when it does something they don't like.
Actually, the Sea Stars are occupying the reef in an anti-gmo, anti-corporate protest.

Just my $.02

The thing that's most ironic is that people are drinking toilet water while Agri-business just keeps on wasting as much as they want.

I guess we shouldn't worry about the fact that virtually every morsel of food you eat, or good that you buy, get to its destination by truck.
The "spirit" is bullshit. There is no brain, so there's no place for consciousness to emerge from. It's no more alive than a scab.
Yeah, but what educated person believes a blastocyst is "alive"?
Jesus is a placebo for fear of death
Who said it was credible? Who really gives a sh*t on the male side enough to thteaten? Reads like ,"look at how impotant I am" to me.

Unless you count count compiling a victims list "practical steps". Maybe we shoukd wait until he arrives at one of the victim's homes?

Wisdom from the mouths of Barbarians. 'Nuff said.
And The Silmarillion says "In the beginning Eru, the One, who in the Elvish tongue is named IlÃvatar..." What's your point?
I would have been sligtly offended by this, but then I saw this:
