...when you codify morality.

All of our criminal code in the US with regards to sex crimes needs to be scrapped and rewritten by people from another planet who haven't been influenced by religion and/or tradition.

Pretty much every app wants to have some update service or helper or whatever. Most of the time "cleaning" a PC that's dragging is a simple as running msconfig and unchecking most of the startup app and services.

I usually get a "b-bbut the last guy/tech/business said I have to reformat and reinstall! :( "

True security will happen when we have law enforcement monitoring everyone everywhere all the time. I mean we're 1/2 way there anyway, why not go the last mile and commit to absolutely zero personal privacy.

Maybe they could streamline the whole process and have members of the public be required to serve on sorting duty at the dumps, kind of like jury duty. I mean it's for the environment so who cares that it's at the behest of a for profit company?

So you are saying it analogous to businesses directly dealing in bitcoin then? :P

A company owned by paypal the does like zero business relatively is considering allowing partners that deal in bitcoin. Woohoo!

Saying paypal has anything to do with this is like saying you like chocolate because your brothers, wifes, uncles dog does.

I it all depends on the context, really. Was it a large majority of the populace that acted or felt that way or was it a bunch of local thugs? Did they announce their intent beforehand or just show up unannounced so the people had no idea what the intent was?

I guess my point is that I'm not going to write off whole populations of people because the actions of a few. There are and always will be risks in dealing in tribal areas that have been used and abuse for centuries. Maybe better organization and security could mitigate the dangers? I don't know, but I have a feeling the answer is yes.

At lot of the mistrust of outside people in those regions is very, very well deserved. Even when it's their own "government".

And your sentiment isn't really a new idea it's pretty much how the world has treated most of Africa for a really long time, the same Africa most of the world has exploited for long periods at one time or another.

It was only different because the death toll didn't have any direct affect on us. An extremely deadly virus left unchecked to mutate could in VERY bad ways.

So the simple answer is selfish interests. We don't care when people are dying as long as it doesn't affect us.

Money and power are 10/10ths of the law.

"Payment processor (owned by eBay) is *looking into* accepting bitcoins months from now"

Yea that is just like paypal jumping in with both feet.

I can see the early days there being "enhanced cruise control" type thing that people can be licensed for that can be used on freeways only in the near future. I would basically be cruise control that can brake and accelerate and then maybe steering capabilities included, etc.

I don't think it would be possible to have some mix of fully autonomous cars with regular ones on the road at any time.

We should be using that on our roads instead of whatever stuff we are using now.

The people who don't feel like paying 2500$ per song after the fact.
