Is it really immoral to fraud a company which systematically refuses to pay its workers anything near a living wage?
Yes, because two wrongs don't make a right. Or did your parents not teach you that?
If you punch me, does that mean I can punch your sister? Does that make it "ok"?
First, it's astonishingly pedantic to lecture someone on being "obtuse", and then go into the 'there is no such thing as race' bullshit. We all know what we are talking about, and if you don't, then you're the one being obtuse.
Secondly, isn't it fairly racist to imply that mono ethnic cities aren't "interesting, creative and vigorous"? That's pretty superficial.
Finally, you may have a delightful postmodern hipster view of ports, but most of them across history have been dangerous places that decent people avoided, for good reason.
What they did was swap the "Free" button for a "Get" button.
Why is it that, in 2014, people STILL get this shit backwards?
When you swap one thing FOR some other thing, the other thing is what you have in the end, not the one thing.
Jesus Christ...
Do you have some mechanism for seizing US government assets? Particularly if you aren't another government?
Yes.
It's called a 'scoped high-powered rifle in the hands of tens of thousands of citizens.
Apply to political leaders until resistance to citizens seizing (reclaiming their stolen) assets stops.

No, they really didn't... no legal grounds anyway...
Of course, war isn't about law, no matter how much people like to say it is... The reality is that the winners decide what happens, no more or less...
...because that's when everyone wants to travel. Telling me to travel when I don't want to travel ain't a solution.
Hey buddy! Just ruin your holiday and you'll easily avoid the traffic!
Why don't I just not celebrate it at all.
Is this what we can expect from big data? Spend another day with your annoying family consuming the entire weekend, work more hours, or take half the work day off?
Here's a better way. Stab yourself in the neck, then you can take an ambulance right through any traffic that stands in your way. Your family will meet you at the hospital with a slice of turkey.
Here's another idea. Just celebrate thanksgiving two weeks later. You can avoid everything.
Thanks for the help, oh great and wise swammy-g.
I think you're generally right about the subject, you've however completely confused "libertarians" with "liberals".
It might sound surprising, but there are people who eat both turkey and ham on Thanksgiving. Or even meatballs, salmon and roast beef.
Shocking, I know, that people can eat more than one thing on any given day.
So it will be like launching passengers into space by private companies who completely ignore the 'basic research' governments have funded for the last fifty years.
Let me know how that works out.
This is Slashdot, so new we are rewarded with a litany of "look how stupid congress is" stories.
The fact is, the conversation is clearly brainstorming, more of a signal that lateral thinking was welcome, as the secret service clearly hasn't thought if anything effective.
So your logic is that if we can't stop all murders, why bother to try to stop some of them? If you cannot prevent poverty everywhere, there's no point in helping some people out of poverty, even if that subset is arbitrary?
I understand that such a point is usually made from political tendentiousness, but I've never really understood the position logically. Need is infinite, resources aren't; even the most altruistic person in the world prioritizes their targets.
We, the taxpayers, have already paid hundreds of billions to private companies to give us the astoundingly fast broadband speed of 10 Mbps (on average) in this country, two DECADES after these same companies assured us they would get us 45 Mbps by 2010.
There are already enough fees levied on users, for numerous such issues, that money can be moved from area to another if necessary.
Instead of adding more costs to consumers, how about having the companies do this work for free since they failed so miserably the last time we gave them taxpayer money? Considering the sorry state of affairs of broadband in this country, this is the absolute least these folks could do to justify their existence.
Maybe it's just polite foreplay?
Conscious decision, actually.
I felt writing "hos" was just confusing, I submit that 'ho's' (with the needless apostrophe inserted) is just idiomatic and perhaps the tiniest bit metaphorical.
...I'd love it if routine Facebook use invalidated your vote.
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
