Exactly, gen Y isn't choosing not to buy cars primarily out of concern for the environment, it's that cars are expensive to buy, expensive to maintain, and expensive to run. As a gen Y person myself, I've also noticed that a lot of things I

I say this as an admitted partisan, but I see Republicans say and do a lot of pretty awful things. They range from the stupid, which is what this tactic is, to the downright deranged, as when Michelle Bachmann said that should she lose the

It is amazing what vision, a few hundred million dollars, and Chinese serf labor can do.

Living in the future is pretty awesome. I can't wait to see what even more future brings us.

And why convenience stores in Japan (and other places, I assume, though I haven't seen them) frequently sell the same kinds of merchandise as gas stations do in the US, but most don't sell gas because the margins are so small, the pedestria

Repeatedly over the years. Media defender advertised DDOSing websites as a service to IP groups.

I can't speak for everyone, but when the US gov or the MPAA DDOS's a website they disagree with, I'm not angry because what they are doing is illegal, I'm angry about the hypocrisy in declaring something to be both legally and morally wrong

I think the most compelling argument made in this article is that a law that by it's nature is only going to do what it's supposed to if applied selectively is a bad law. The manga image posted in the article looks more like art to me, but

It is a net gain if you count the 800,000 jobs lost during his first month in office.

Hey, I realize this doesn't add much, but I'd like to thank everyone in this thread. I"m new here, but this is why I come to HN, people are disagreeing by citing sources and not yelling or being particularly acrimonious.

Yes, it happens fairly regularly. The concept of 'sexting' nude pictures of each other has become fairly ubiquitous in many places, and it happens semi regularly that a jilted ex will report to police about the existence of such photos, QE

Not really, a plea bargain resulting in any punishment at all counts as a conviction for the prosecutor. A case like CP or cocaine possession which are in most jurisdictions basically straight liability crimes are very nearly guaranteed co

Gotta love the irony in being charged as an adult for making child pornography of yourself.

If I find myself in possession of a cocaine brick that I did not ask for, I will indeed worry. The point that the article made (as a tangent, admittedly) in regards to cocaine possession is that, should that situation arise, I can't take m

Actually, if he's got three convictions under his belt, that is pretty useful information, but I agree, seems like double jeopardy to me.

True, however, most prosecutors are trying to get high conviction rates, and don't care about the good to society.

Actually, the argument is that prostitution is illegal because it's immoral, and porn though effectively the same thing is also immoral but protected under the first amendment. Hiring a prostitute and recording it is legal so long as you i

I'd consider paying a few bucks a month for an ad free non data mining facebook, but, that won't happen.

I would say that it shows evidence of the increasingly common trend of police officers frequently greeting citizens going about lawful activities with violence.

That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.

I'd be much happier if it only kept records locally, or had the option. As creepy as... every social network has gotten, I want my privacy and anonymity back. As interesting, and potentially useful as this seems, I don't feel comfortable g

And that the penalty for defaulting is even more money owed. Pay the loans, pay interest for most of your life on an education that frequently doesn't pay commensurately to a job in the field, assuming you can get one. Don't pay, eventual

Have a spam filter that directs them to only be able to talk to other threatening/harassing users and let the problem solve itself?

Several friends of mine prefer to pay for their VPNs anonymously, they get two VPNs, pay with bitcoin, don't give their name to the VPNs, and tunnel one into the other for pretty much complete anonymity online, provided they don't do someth

I'll agree with you on that, but I think a good point was raised. As an inherently deflationary currency, particularly once the maximum number of bitcoins are created, wouldn't the natural thing for people believe it will eventually be inc

It's been attempted before, but that kind of thing is really hard to legislate effectively. At what point is something tangentially related? True, gun control and abortion bills should probably be kept separate, but what about closing the
