Yes, everyone who disagrees with you is brainwashed. That's a real healthy attitude to take.

It is less bad. The US government doesn't have any obligation to protect the rights of citizens of some other country not living in the US. If your government disagrees, tell them to sign a treaty.

It just means they feel like the other party is forgetting about the cost. For example, if I hear my friend raving about this new phone that only costs 99 dollars, I might remind him that it would require him to upgrade to a data plan that

The approaches are not mutually exclusive.

That's an incredibly naive expectation. ISPs have been replacing error pages with their own search pages serving ads since the 90s.

But you already don't stop your ISP from interfering with your traffic in transit. So why is it a big deal if you continue to not do it? Or is seeing a few ads more important to you than, say, all of your email?

Yes, this technique could potentially be misused. You can say the same thing about any technology.

If the best argument in favor of HTTPS everywhere is that it will prevent your ISP from showing you ads, the movement is doomed.

They are not making it necessary, only convenient. You're not harmed by seeing a few ads.

Even if you hire a 50/50 split, it doesn't solve the problem because the ratio in conference attendees is far from even. The conditional probabilities still lead to the conclusion the article complains about.

Software is commonly accepted as copyrightable, and no exception is made for quines.

Having to support many different textbooks across different students is a recipe for chaos. Especially when the topic is something like calculus which can have such radically different treatments.

Verification really doesn't matter. Emergency responders aren't going to ignore a report like this where human lives are reported to be at stake just because it comes from an unverified number.

With Opera 12.14, I saw the same thing. I had to open the page in Chrome to see the weirdness.

Most likely this will lead to official certification and registration of pen testers like locksmiths and alarm system installers are required to have in some states..

Probably they spent more time playing on the highest game speed, which taxes their servers more. They eventually disabled this speed when it was clear their infrastructure could not handle it.

Refuse to enforce this clause of the DMCA and pardon anyone imprisoned because of it.

Can anyone repost the text here for those of use whose work filters block tpb?

How is that sad? If it's not useful for sex, what else is more important than killing people?

They have to say things like that, because you need the other side to believe you will use your nukes for them to be an effective deterrent. Nobody actually wants to use them.

Of course you will feel an emotional response when your code is criticized, and a considerate critic will try to minimize that. But you'd still be the one in the wrong.

Basing your movie opinions on random youtube videos would be equally foolish. The reviews of professional critics are somewhat different.

The initial email comes with what it calls a mock example. I think that's what you're referring to.

Those are cherrypicked examples. 15 years ago they still had the custom horse, dragon, stone wall, etc pieces and today they still have sets of just plain pieces.

I didn't say that blacks today aren't affected by a history of racism, only that a race-based policy is not necessary to correct this. If you define anyone who disagrees with you as a racist, I agree, the world will never be rid of racism.

The harms and benefits you are talking about are not quantifiable in a commonly-agreed-upon way. I think that's a prerequisite for the kind of analysis you want to do.

15% of the animal biomass on earth is ants, but I can look in the ocean and find thousands of fish yet very few ants. There are women-only universities, historically black universities, universities that focus on arts and universities that

Many people disagree with you about what the goal should be. You can't turn back time and undo abuse. Trying to do so is just a waste of resources. In the race metaphor, the solution would be to just make sure everyone starts on a even foot
