Laws exist because the elected legislature passed the required laws to criminalise certain actions pertaining to certain drugs. To believe that this would be fixed by people finding someone not guilty of breaking those laws is simplistic at best.
To believe that the problem is just that I'm simplistic is also pretty simplistic, don't you think?
The laws need to be repealed
Not necessarily. I think salutary neglect is a great option.
He tried to have people killed. They need to lock him up for life.
If they want to lock him up for that, they need to have a trial for it.
Take a look at your average jury, do you really think it would be used most for the right or wrong reasons?
The point is that it's better to let ten guilty people go free than for one innocent to be convicted.
is the public supposed to read the transcripts of every criminal trial?
No, but if more of the public would refuse to find people guilty on drug charges, it would certainly help. I don't need to read a transcript to know that I wouldn't convict Ulbricht, or anyone else, of the charges brought against him.

What about for polygamist authors, you insensitive clod?

Using a code to crawl for uses of "comprised of" throughout all of Wiki's articles

If a large percentage of users all started using ad blocking software then places like google, slashdot, and facebook would either have to start charging or even worse start doing secret product placement.
Or be donor supported like PBS. I love donor supported websites.
Indeed. I grew up listening to a stack of Gospel music cassettes my Dad copied from friends around the country on his travels. I've downloaded some of the exact same albums on bittorrent.
No GPS, but I'm guessing that if you can get the raw accelerometer data from one of these devices over a long enough time, you could map out where they've been....
Did you try turning off/on the wireless? That sometimes works for me when I've got wifi issues. I think it may unload/reload the driver.
It's only bricked until you plug it into USB and then you can reflash the firmware
Doubtful. You can use bluetooth to set the device into bootloader mode, but you can clear that by plugging it into USB, so the initial setup via USB (required, IIRC) could set the private key into the device.
Um, he decompiled the Android version of the app to figure out that the device was insecure...
Doubt isn't the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith. - Paul Tillich, German theologian and historian
