It's true that today's engines are much more complex, but this also means they are much more sophisticate: today all new cars have to comply with very strict emission and fuel efficiency standards, which means you basically can't do without electronic fuel injection.

His strategy is to remove impunity from their actions. It should happen through prosecution of unneded violence, but sadly this is not the case. He might also be correct: unneeded violence is much more unlikely from if that would put the "aggressor" in danger too. As they say: "if you want peace, prepare for war."

Gnome?

Can't you "disperse" the concentrated light on more panels once it reaches the ground station to avoid the 1.1 "suns" limit? Another way might be to avoid photovoltaic panels and use the concentrated light to boil water.

In this case there is no cause at all, or did I miss the lawsuit, her testimony under penalty of perjury and the subsequent cross-examination?

By which crazy logic? Knowing the source of the accusation doesn't make it automatically "true until proved false".

You just need another abstraction layer...

Why?

It would not be wrongful termination since he was not fired, he resigned. Instead it could very well be constructive discharge

What I meant is that you said that people winning the lottery or the jackpot "did nothing to earn the money" which is absolutely not correct: these people paid to earn the chance of winning. Risking your own money to earn the chance of a win is definately not "doing nothing". Getting money doing nothing is more similar to receiving a gift.

Anyway I agree that earned or unearned income should not make any difference.

If you do nothing to earn something you get you don't win the lottery, you receive a gift. By your reasoning inheritance taxes should be taxed exactly the same way a gift is... which is ironic since gift taxation in the USA was introduced to avoid estate tax avoidance...

Well, "talent crisis" usually means "talented workers cost too much, we have to find a cheaper source of them". Women do tend to get lower salaries than men...

Make graduating accordingly hard so that only the best graduate and only the expected number. This way the barrier of entry is not based on wealth but based on merit.

Because he expects the community to agree with him. Karma should reflect what the community thinks of his activity, not what the site's admin thinks, so it should be possible to have positive karma on this site even posting negative comments about it, as long as the community supports them.

So either the admin tampered with his karma against the community's intentions, or the community is not as impressed with his activity as he thinks.

Slashdot doens't write original articles, it mainly refers to already existings public articles/blogposts. The site is interesting mainly for the comments section which depends on the community and communities are extremely volatile. Of course you can try to introduce subscriptions/paywalls/whatever, but you have to make sure you don't alienate too much people since if slashdot loses its community nothing much of value would remain.
