It has happened before, it will happen again.

These are wild animals, not typical adoption shelters. You can toss a hungry bear pretty much anything and be assured that he'll eat it.

I don't know how common it is, but a lot of the produce that isn't sold in my local market is donated to local animal shelters. And yes, many consumers prefer the artificially colored/waxed/preserved stuff that is so much prettier than the rest, but I can't believe there's anything like 40% "waste".

I don't expect these guys to be exonerated (but it could happen...) However, if I was accused of a crime I didn't commit I'd be extremely upset if my family and I were blocked from paying the bills resulting in a foreclosed home, repossessed car, and auctioned-off possessions when I was released.

At least in the short term. But presumably, after formatting the servers, rather than preserve them for posterity they'd incorporate them for other storage uses, so any remaining data would begin its trip to the netherworld fairly quickly.

If that's the way you personify sex, you're doing it wrong and I pity your poor mother...

Emergency broadcast from the CDC: "We've had reports that a new mutated strain of the common cold virus has been detected in multiple metropolitan areas and seems to be spreading at exponential rates among the population. Thanks to years of research by our dedicated scientists, we are prepared for this circumstance and have procedures in place. We recommend that everyone wash their hands regularly and cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze. If you suspect that you may have already contracted this disease, please stay home for 2 or 3 days before returning to work, eat some chicken soup, drink plenty of fluids, and get some bed rest. Thank the gods we were prepared for this terrible epidemic and know how to react."

Wonderful. We've just shifted out of 12 Monkeys and entered The Stand...

Oh great... Then we'll have to pick a "volunteer" from amongst our prison population to send back in time to try to establish a link between the outbreak and the Army of the 12 Monkeys only to learn that we've missed the mark...

I think you've been here long enough that you should know better. Reading TFA is cheating - /. is a place for blind speculation and getting excited about misunderstood non-issues, dismissing valid issues in favor of supporting random ideals, and car analogies. Take your rational analysis somewhere else.
