but closed sores leave scars...

Yeah.. There's a reason the USA and Russia (then the USSR) still lead in that area, though other nations are starting to catch up. I got downmodded for speaking the truth.. go figure.

At least it didnt' have a shitty christian rock intro and a vulcan that cried every two minutes.

Most of the reason we have the space tech we have today is because of cold war era military research budgets.

Well, if it's running linux, it's probably using netfilter so it probably does have a firewall..at least a drop policy with dynamically opened ports for established/related connections. NAT's security is from the fact that the rfc1918 hosts' addresses are not directly routable, but that's about it. It does not replace a firewall.

How do you propose a person with a life sentence pay for his incarceration without employment? Put him in jail until he pays??

Not necessarily. Due process is still important. There are cases where people admit to crimes they didn't actually commit, sometimes because of pressure from interrogation, and other times due to conditioning from others.

The appeals system is there to be damned sure before ending someone's life, and that still isn't enough. 0 innocents should die this way, period, even if it means guilty ones go free sometimes.

It might've been dumb of him given the current climate, but that doesn't mean he was wrong. If the polygraph is bogus, then he's not helping anyone to lie to the fbi. The fbi is guilty of using pseudoscience to fish out lying.

Which would imply the fbi thinks the polygraph test has merit when they really shouldn't.

No it wouldn't. It would make everyone neurotic as hell trying to hide aspects that others will see as imperfections. I'll pass on your 'better world.'

People like you need to read up on history.

Not even 'kinder' really, just more passive aggressive. This makes the abuse that much worse...assuming of course that it is abuse and not just valid criticism. There's a lot out there making the same arguments because they want the chance to shame valid criticism they don't like or is not in their interest.

Without ISPs there'd be no internet.

Maybe it's time to stop blaming men for what women do to each other.

Welcome to cultural marxism. It was never about equality to begin with.
