Your right! the GP's idea is dangerous and cannot be tolerated!

And there seem to be about 499,999 who claim terrorists don't represent true Islam, but don't clearly, publicly articulate why the terrorists' theology is less supported by the Koran than their more peaceful interpretations.

That was quick. An article about ads devolved faster than anticipated.

Because WW2 involved Hitler. Godwin wins, every time.

Normal people get walked out the door by a security guard and told the stuff on their desk will be mailed to them postage due.

Is that really true? I've wondered about that. It sounds like criminal theft to me.

In short, we need law to evolve toward a 21st century science-based ethical viewpoint.

You seem to be confusing science with metaphysics and ethics. A surprisingly common mistake.

There are lots of interesting philosophical questions, and we generally don't have the time (or skill) to tackle them all. Why do you feel this one is especially important?

"—a controversial tactic that security experts say could be exposing the general population to criminal hackers."

Well yeah, the article said it was for the NSA.

I've noticed that guys how program in niche areas (such as computational acoustics) manage to stick with it as long as they want, if they really know what they're doing. Their domain expertise trumps ageism in the job market. OTOH, it's also a small job market, which affects things like where they can live.

I've only had it conventionally roasted. The other methods sound yummy, but perhaps because I live in New England, I haven't had a chance to try them.

I weep that I have no mod points.

I'm reasonable sure Obama just emphasized that green cards aren't important. It's having puppy-dog eyes that matters.

Slashdot, will you please end the fucking obsession with feminist gripes. I'm still at the point where I'll yell as you to focus on things we actually care about. But eventually, I'm sure some of us will simply be done with your Dicey site.

Still, when the NSA wanted access to Google's information, they went for tapping fiber optic cables instead of hitting them with National Security Letters.

Not sure we can know it was an either/or situation.
