Well, only if you're being really slow about it. Its half-life is like, 68 years. Which is still very short and does count as 'hellaciously radioactive', particularly considering the decay products and what they decay into.

So... if someone murders me, I'm then more likely to go on and murder in the future? D:

...learned this ages ago. "Nobody wants to be first; everyone wants to be second."

I'm guessing that's why the store-bought, DRM-laden version was the one to appear on a torrent site - they cracked it *because* it was DRM'd. There's no challenge in just downloading someone's unprotected game and then putting it up on a torrent site.

But how has this affected the severity of collisions at red lights? If the rate of accidents goes up, but the rate of injuries goes down, I'd call that a win.

Florida was doing this, too, IIRC. They've gotta knock that dishonest bullshit off.

What honest excuse do you have for running a red light? It isn't like you don't get plenty of warning that the thing is going to change.

Problem with the idea of testing management for psychopathy is that they'll just deliberately HIRE the psychopaths they find as "more competitive". I recall hearing rumour that some financial companies have already started doing this, however that's pure anecdote. XD

So, when are you moving to Somalia?

I think this is about when you go buy some mercury and "accidentally" spill it on your property before taking the buyout money.

Why would you single out Obama? Better to just say, "Once the President gets elected...", 'cause you know that's how it's going to be.

You're not the consumer, you're the product.

"According to Sir Paul Beresford, the MP for Mole Valley such writing 'fuels the fantasies' of offenders and could lead to the physical abuse of children."

"Intellectual Property", however, is a complete fiction. It's a nicely-distorting term, as other posters have pointed out.

Honestly, I've always wanted to see someone start up an alternative Anything-Goes Olympics to draw those in mainstream sports who like augmenting themselves so into a venue where that would be accepted, even encouraged. The Baseline League can then go about finding the limits of pure human performance, and the Advanced League spurs immediate massive gains in the science of human augmentation. It's win-win!
