You can have responsibilities without conscience.
Of course you can. It's called Congress.

This makes me wonder if there are exceptions.
Being mostly deaf, I use IP-relay a lot, and use an IM client to access it. Does the simple act of logging my IMs turn me into a criminal?
Agreed wholeheartedly. I've had clients in my face, screaming.... and have never reacted like Paul did. At most, I excused myself for a few moments to make sure I was composed.
When the error's on your end, suck it up and get ready for some unhappy people.
Unless the doctor officiously attempts to prolong life, no matter how painful or futile that prolongation is for the patient, the patients relatives are going to sue that doctor to the hilt for not doing their utmost for the patient. Ease the patient out and its a murder rap. "Ars Longa Vita brevis", but not if you're talking to a litigeous lawyer!
Which is why my wife and I worked this out LONG ago:
Pull the damn plug.
Then there are the physically and mentally disabled and infirm elderly who have outlived their retirement savings. Nobody wants to hire them for anything even if they could do the work.
I recently spoke with another deaf tech, and yes, it's a problem. Rather annoying to find people with a quarter of your experience hired over you just because you can't hear on a phone.
I wonder if this means something important?
Depends. Do you currently find yourself sculpting landscapes with mashed potatoes?
Quarks normally group up in 3s; with a proton being two ups and a down, and a neutron being two downs and an up. Another form of quark grouping consists of a quark and an anti-quark of the same flavour, which is what's been observed here. And this is the first time that one of these pairs has been observed that consists of quarks with the beauty flavour. Other flavours of pair have been observed before, but its the fact that this one consists of beauty quarks that makes it "new".
So, in essence, {and pardon the food analogy} you're saying that most matter is like an 3-scoop ice cream cone - two vanilla, one chocolate, or two chocolate, one vanilla - and what they've found here is one scoop of double-mint truffle fudge, two scoops gold-leaf-covered Cherry Garcia? (ie, it's still an ice cream cone as expected, just with more exotic flavors.)
Where would YOU draw the line?
Probably at two Utes.
They forgot to blow into the instruction cartridge before they reinserted it back into the system.
Wouldn't have helped. That cartridge was fried after the incident with Chrome and the House of Blue Lights.
But realistically, he took the whole open platforms and devices to really bad direction with the closeness of iOS and maybe upcoming Macs.
Apple shareholders would beg to differ.
What a coincidence! Standard Oil's shareholders said the same thing back in the day....
Color me leery when people start equating "makes lots of money for a limited number of rich people" with "doing the right thing."
That is the best example of educated people you can come up with?
Hear hear! They didn't even mention Asia Carrera once!
It's not the same at all. Texans choose to live in Texas.
Well, if you think you can manage it, get all the Aggies to move to Oklahoma... it'd raise the collective IQ of both states!
{I kid, of course...}
Looks like the stupid race (who has somehow managed to survive and even understand the universe) will have to make do on Earth.
None but a fool would put all their eggs in one basket.... and do you really want Mr. T after you?
1991 counts as recent in my book.
Yeah, try installing a game that requires WinG... I had a client come in recently trying to get an old game running on Windows 7. Only worked up as far as XP with tweaks, unfortunately.
I believe your premise is over-thought and overrated, and humbly suggest you collect more data before making said assumption.
