Also politicians are well identified. I'm perfectly comfortable with known criminals (terrorists) not having as many rights as citizens. Its called prison:/ you get very little privacy in there.
An illegal immigrant makes trillion dollar decisions for the country? O.o wth
And I agree terrorists should be subject to investigations... They are and have been since forever. I'm just saying that currently politicians get away with alot more than they should. Plus lower privacy would be part of the job description that they would sign up for. I suppose basically i want more transparency in government. And for third parties to be able to investigate congressmen but it almost NEVER happens without a citizen breaking the rules. Look at palin, her dealings through email wouldn't have been found without the hacker.
Anyways I think illegal immigrants should be thrown out. AFTER the immigration laws are totally reworked and many/most of current illegals should be granted citizenship. If its illegal then its illegal i hate all these rules that are made to be broken. That way if someone has a problem with you they can call you on 50 laws pretty much everyone has broken.
I wish i could sue for 250K when i lost my JMS account. Some one broke into my server last week, that should net me another 250K right? Point is that it is a PERSONAL email account. She should be protected as much as you or me when our accounts get hacked. Was he dumb? Of course And the difference is that he hacked one person in the gov and risks 250k and 3years. The gov hacks millions and waves it off. Where's my 250,000,000,000$ in damages?
It could be put in the media and lose her votes. Whereas an official investigation would likely find nothing or be dismissed silently if mccain/palin get in to power.
Politicians don't deserve the same freedoms as citizens. Sorry to say this but they cannot be trusted with as much freedom. The most a citizen will do doesn't matter to national security w/e. But the president/vicepresident, congresscritters they can cause really big problems and when there are allegations of corruption and wrong doing they should NOT get the same level of privacy citizens are supposed to (but dont get regardless). Look up congression level hacks and almost ALWAYS corruption is found. Sorry, privacy is nice and all but when you find they took a few hundred grand or a house in bribes (previous congressmen) then the hack was well justified. Its the same as hacking/investigating people when you have a warrant. The bar should simply be set lower for politicians since they seem to set it lower.
"If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants" I can't imagine how we will be progressing without using other people's ideas. It is fundamental to furthering ourselves.
If i thought of a gui first would i deserve billions of dollars? NO fuck that. If an idea takes under 10minutes to come up with and the implementation is nothing then it SHOULD NOT be patentable. If you make every idea patentable then we would have nothing. Talk about stifling competition. One company could have the rights to mp3s another to volume control another to the audio port another to........ Aside from the RIAA i don't think anyone would be happy if it cost a million dollars for a music player.
Along the same lines i've thought about making a bot that passes the 4chan turing test. It couldn't be THAT hard really.... It'd be like simulating a fish.
ok swap talent for effort i suppose. It has a higher degree of difficulty. I agree with what you are saying about talent. Though i DO think however that talent is needed in the higher end. Or... a deep understanding of music which is not gained through practice. More of love of music the ability to express emotion w/e. Without that you can be very good but not great.
Why is this tagged as story?....fine fine there is a type tag done by the system. Which really should be hidden until it is actually used for something... But this is tagged story again. It happend a few stories down as well. Is there really a need to tell us it is an article twice ontop of the fact that it is a site full of stories?
Thats a legitimate reason. New ideas/games are good. Its reasonable to be sick of something thats been done to death. Guitar hero kinda sucks in the first place its just a popular fad. L2Play guitar oh yeah that would actually involve talent. And there are like 5million FPS' out all of which are better on the PC making it pointless to put on a console.
Pffft who needs a belief structure to base all your decisions off of? Just do what seems right in your heart without thinking about your actions and you could be president!
There are two levers each will simultaneously kill one person and save another. The lever on the left will save the convicted mass murderer and kill the doctor who works saving peoples lives and helping as best he can donating all of his wages to charity. The lever on the right does the reverse. If you don't pull the lever someone else will. Unless your logic is severely broken you should be able to see my point. Doing nothing IS evil. (Trade the doctor with 500doctors if you like).
269 votes would have saved us 4years of bush. There is more than that many people in calc 101 in my school. What you are saying is a fallacy... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_fallacy
I don't think employees having to pay for daycare is a 'Bigger Minus' from a global POV. As for China, look at what every EVERY other major search engine did. Worse, they hand over information that get people imprisoned for sedition. Google however refused to do any of that. Google was given the option of following Chinas laws or leaving. They pushed and got around one. As well the great firewall of china was already doing the censoring. Now if you visit google in china (try a proxy) you get a warning saying the Chinese government is filtering your results. I certainly would NOT call this traitorous or evil. They did what good they could get away with. Would you prefer they silently filter and hand any requested information over to the Chinese government like googles competition?
If you don't vote for the lesser evil you throw your vote away and you will get~ the greater evil. I'm AMAZED how many people can keep saying DON'T VOTE after bush got in the second time. The margin was 600 fucking votes, if you voted for the lesser evil then you wouldn't have bush now and would be up at least a trillion dollars and hundreds of lives. Please don't believe in the terrible logic. Unless you want McCain to get in... *shudder*
He said use whitelists... Setting up parental control on the TV is not a big deal. And it sends a clear message to your kids. Plus if they bypass it take away the TV entirely for a few days. Parenting is hard but controlling the TV isnt. Quit your whining.
Many of the people complaning wouldn't know how to set up the clock on the machine nevermind the parental control. Obviously it is easier and more simple to rework the entire infrastructure pass laws and have the government do it than to set it up yourself. Its not like you only have to do it once and will last as long as the tv.

yes, yes i have. Pretty sure i had that on my dbz website in .... 97? I was cool back then... dbz was wicked.

Whats there to flame about emacs is obviously better. I thought vim had been dropped completely.
Magic the gathering sold multiple billions of cards. And yet turned into a fad. Hell i'm sure atleast a million or 2 sets of pogs have been sold.

Only study i could find on book reading: http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r155/xaiver_888/newspaper.jpg
I'll point out that the study i was laughing at was saying that reading books on occult meant you were occult.
