or perhaps Nokia didn't break EU law (irrelevant if you think the law is "good" or not).

IE was a FREE app written my Microsoft. What do you expect? The shit is free

Well, perhaps not. It may also be associated with pure and genuine mental retardation, self-inflicted mental retardation, not the one caused by actual brain damage or deficiency.

We are talking about a state where in some municipalities, they will completely empty the local water supply when a drunk teenager is caught on camera pissing in it. They even have cameras watching the reservoirs for cases such as this.

So, how do you think these retards will feel if you say to them: From tomorrow on you will be showering in recycled piss. They will go ape. OK, so we use the recycled water for agriculture only, then they will go ape because their food has been "showered in piss".

The "average person" is fundamentally retarded, that's (part of the reason) why.

For the record, Repugnicans are more likely to add pork than Dems.

No pilots is probably going too far, but what about refusing to do stupid shit? A plane has GPS, it knows how high it is. Why would it even allow a pilot to crash into a mountain? Trying to land a plane in an area that is not an airport should require some sort of manual override by either two pilots or pilot plus ground crew. The computer could even give full control to pilot in case of emergencies (Sully).

Which certainly doesn't claim 5000+ researchers per capita. The highest possible number of anything per capita you can have is 1 (one). Sweden has 5000+ researchers per 1 million capita (to put it like that).

and experience it. Since the end of your life is the end of experience, the "punished" doesn't experience the punishment.

Capital Punishment is vengeance, no more, no less. A civilized society doesn't do vengeance. A civilized society is governed by logic and reason. Sadly that hasn't been the case anywhere in the US since at least the late 1970s, and since the 1990s it's been all about Jesus, God, Santa Claus, The Tooth Fairy and other childhood fantasy figures.

Lots of people deserve to die. Capital "punishment" is not punishment however, given the fact that the "punished" just stops existing and is therefore no longer neither punished nor capital. This is why the base difference between a civilized society and a non-civilized society is whether the government engages in acts of vengeance (capital punishment). No civilized society engages in vengeance. It's for the mentally deficient.

The USA though stands shoulder to shoulder with Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and The ISIS in supporting capital punishment.

Execution is vengeance, not punishment. A civilized society doesn't engage in vengeance. Simple as that. The US in this regard is about as civilized as Saudi Arabia and The ISIS.

I assume you have a mullet too, since you're stuck in the 1980s

You suffer from a severe case of paranoia. Go see a psychologist.

He will never be as stupid, mentally retarded and moronic as the one who corrected his spelling.

Just for the record, if this was the case it would be a huge benefit for the US economy. There is nothing better for a country than having a work force that is educated by some other country (lots of savings there) and when that work force grows old it is taken care of by another country. 90% of your cost is from your born and until your in he work force and then from the day you retire to the day you die.

The error here is that the programmer was given a login to a database and that login had been granted "DELETE" permissions. On vital systems, the standard software should basically never be granted "DELETE" permissions, only CREATE, SELECT and UPDATE. Deleting a record should involve setting its status to "deleted" nothing else. There is only one reason (except the obvious ability to use referential integrity when doing business operations) to delete something from a table, and that is to free up space. Since it costs less to add more storage to the system than it does to pay a programmer to enter "DELETE FROM WHERE LAST_UPDATED

Programmers do frequently need to be given access to databases, and as such they will typically have lots of access to sensitive data. Sadly most companies include delete access when granting to the logins the developers use. That is never necessary. Only a single login should have delete access, and it should be strictly monitored.
