The decision of a police officer to take a life in order to prevent death or serious injury to people other than the US citizen he/she is going to shoot IS different from the decision of the President of the United States of America to take a life in order to prevent death or serious injury to people other than the US citizen he is going to have shot.
The difference is that the President gets to make a much more reasoned, weighted, and thoughtful consideration, and he is very likely (at least in this particular case) going to be saving many more lives.
You don't and can't know whether your last sentence is true. There is no requirement for the president to show any evidence for that. At all. None. Zero. Zilch. That, my friend, is a lot more dangerous than you seem willing to admit.
You really do *NOT* understand the difference between "we tried to arrest him but had to kill him in self defense" and "the president of the United States ordering the death of a citizen without proof, trial or oversight?"
BTW, who was it who told you and proved to you that he was indeed a clear and present danger? A man was ordered put to death on the word of bureaucrats!
"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence."
You really just don't know what you're talking about do you? We can't all be experts in everything. So we have to at some level trust those who are. Or do you still not 'believe' in gravity because you don't understand the special theory of relativity?
But the contents of the emails may now be in question. Lulzsec could just as easily plant emails as read them... It may just cause people to have to go back to tape but anything not backed-up could have its authenticity in question.
This posting illustrates something very interesting: Why slashdot is irrelevant.
Any community that becomes so ingrained in the belief that it is superior is bound for failure. Because once you start believing no one can be better than you, you start to become complacent. The architecture on which HURD is based is technically superior to Linux. Whether this technical superiority translates to superiority in the marketplace is another issue entirely.
In my opinion the slashdot community consists of a lot of wannabes and not a whole lot of doers. Instead of criticizing and making fun of projects which are new or different why don't you embrace them and welcome them? This is one of the reasons I think the open source community has stagnated in recent years.

You're at the wrong site. You want http://www.cnn.com./ I can completely understand how you mis-typed that and ended up here by accident.

You obviously don't.

6th amendment to the US constitution
Some of us take those words seriously. I imagine you would have too had GWB been the one to do it.
Considering a Democrat president ordered the assassination of a US citizen I'd say the Democrats are just as evil as you think the Republicans are.
However - shouldn't we be looking at the raw data and either confirming or debunking it?
Why? Are you anywhere near qualified to analyze the data? I know I'm not.

Really?
1) HTC != "Linux"
2) I find it hard to blame a company for doing what every other company is doing in order to keep competitive.
Blame the broken system rather than the companies who take advantage of what they're given.
Not to mention the "Halloween" reference.

The android permissions will tell you whether the app has access to personal data or not.
You kick him in the balls.
Sometimes it's not whether the bear dances well but the fact that the bear is dancing at all.

AC has it right. Mod up.
The browser doesn't just automatically log you in. You need to select which email address you want to use. Watch the 'fing video before complaining.
I assume you would have the ability to issue a revocation certificate.

I agree.
This is a great sign that HURD has become completely irrelevant. Somebody on Slashdot doesn't even know what it is!
