leave the prisoners to fend for themselves.

then why are they so fucking expensive? state finances are in the shitter, but prison and teacher perks keep going up and up. public sector unions should be illegal. can you imagine if a steelworker's union bribed the CEO to give them a soft deal? everybody would go to prison. what a joke.

before you know it, the internet is self aware. then it pirates T2, Matirx, 2001, and is inspired to choose a new path. BUT WHICH ONE WILL IT CHOOSE?

good. i hate porn and people who look at porn.

the AC's analogy fials because you could just as easily do such an act with just stopping yoru car at the airport. this whole thing is very violating because wehn you use a valet you trust that they won't mess with your stuff. if they can't do that the whole valet thing goes away. i disagree with harrier and that the problem isn't when they damage it, the damage is the breach of trust.

i would rather pay for none of it and set aside a quasi-autonomous area in mexico where we can leave the inmates to their own devices. let them buy their own air conditioned buses and make their own hospitals.

no, they're protected by the prison union which holds the state hostage, along with the teacher's union. i hope the state goes bankrupt so we can wipe their pensions off the books.

Of course the citizens are left to fend for themselves but the prisoners are evacuated in air conditioned buses.

I'll I'm saying is, I have a pretty good idea of when somebody is jerking my chain. and yes, that includes "scientists".

I think with global warming we'll find these "1 in 700" events occuring more regularly, and being more destructive. katrina, sandy, what next? the big dealio is that these are stronger than storms in the past, and overwhelm our defences that were built in a pre-global-warming world. we essentially need to go back to the drawing board and design defenses that protect us from global warming storms. face it... even if we stop CO2 emissions today (technically possible, but lacking political will), we'll feel the effects for the next 100 years. way to go industrial revolution through 1980, but suck to be us...

...aaand, it's fixed. Apple added the malware to its block list, which all computers update on an hourly basis. another strength of the apple platform, they can quickly shut down anything that gets through their protection net.

whats the big whoop? i got a pack of them for like $5. the protector itself is scratched up a bit from being in the pocket with my keys. one could argue that the gorilla glass wouldn't get scratched up like this, but whatever... at any time i can switch out my screen protector no problem. also, doesn't affect usage at all, you wouldn't notice.

I think it's pretty clear what happened here... goog joined prism as part of some quid pro quo...so they get stuff like this. problem is, m$ also joined for quid pro qou, so they get a heads up. it's like avp - whoever wins, we lose.

danger will robinson! common sense statments on /. Flame on!

I think you're a retard. call me ad hominem if you like, but I don't think you will, because you're retarded and don't know that word.
