What if you *didn't* want to off yourself in the first place? What if the suppliers were negligent and caused a crash yet it had been represented to the passengers that everything was fine? If limited liability like this passes, that is precisely what could (I would argue will) happen.

Exactly. Shit happens. If I get blown up I'm *DEAD*. If I want my heirs to have money after I die then I'll take out appropriate life insurance, not ask them to try to extract it from companies.

If fraud or fraudulent activity happens in the supply chain then that should be treated as a *CRIME*, which is an issue for the state, not a name-on-side-of-city-bus law firm (motto: "You've got injuries...we've got boat payments.")

Java can. Currency symbols can be anywhere in a Java variable name. (yes that's right you could use $ in front of everything and probably make people think it's Perl rather than Java)

Throw this in a Java main(), compile, and run.

Although it looks fine on Firefox on my MacBook Pro it may get mangled elsewhere.


                String M$ = "Microsoft";
                String £inux = "Linux";
                String Appl€ = "Apple";
                System.out.println("M$ is " + M$);
                System.out.println("App£e is " + Appl€);
                System.out.println("£inux is " + £inux);

Why would this hypothetical plant be connected to anything?
If it has data connections to anything more than the other ends of the intake and outflow pipes the people who decided to include such connections should be charged with treason and shot.

If it can be hacked via a genuinely-needed connection the people who made the hack possible should be charged with treason and shot.

Where does it say "the right to bear arms in a way that **can** be traced"?
