If it applies to innocents as well as the guilty, taking a deal is completely irrelevant and unrelated to actual guiltiness. Thus, you can't use the number of deals as measure to estimate that a majority is guilty.
It makes you wonder if we technicians aren't creating a new class of 'codeless' people -like the 'homeless'- those who fall through the gaps of the system, in this case because they have their digital ID revoked. They wouldn't have a way to get in the system again, because lacking an identification they wouldn't be able to use even the basic communication tools.
I can't believe none at Slashdot knows the hilarious 2D Goggles a.k.a. The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage, a geekish steampunk in which Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage have actually built an analytical engine and use it to fight crime! (sort of).
It's more a one-day experiment running amok than a webcomic, as the update pace leaves us waiting for months, but what's already written definitely warrants reading it.
The only objective fact is that at the heat death of the universe, nothing matters. For everything else until that moment, human opinions are important; so I don't mind having a few subjective beliefs in consideration to some degree, even if they're biased toward my fellow humans.
The idea that we need the EU to be civilized democracies is rather absurd
Given our millennium-long history, we know that in Europe we need it to be civilized democracies. (This is how the Greeks managed to get along too, BTW).
"...we'll only RENT them for the duration of an ad campaign".
Additionally, anonymous people tend to act like jackasses online, so their costs are bound to be higher.
Fuck you and your baseless assertions.
This post costed

And then developers will add OCR to AdBlock...
Why do you find disturbing that people can use computers without devoting their lives to learning them?
Wait I know the answer, it's because it disrupts the livelihood of the priests guarding the arcane knowledge.
Keeping tight control is a *good* think in user interface design
May I add, "as long as you have users that like your design and you keep listening to them to further tweak it".
Keeping tight control is a *good* think in user interface design strategy; it provides a more focused structure and simpler environment, which were their goals.
The mistake the Gnome developers made was calling the new desktop "Gnome 3". Had they presented it as an experimental new environment and named it "Project Harmony" or "Desktop Zen", or something like that, they would have stepped on less toes and met less resistance to the radical changes, and people would have seen it in better light.
Of course they would have had less audience, as distros wouldn't have adopted it so quickly. That trade-off was their choice, but I think "Linux is awesome! There are three good major desktops now!" was a better selling point than "They've updated Gnome, and it sucks".
And any submission that includes references to the Turing Test must have me!!!!
Sudoku is not Math
Constraint satisfaction begs to differ.
Did you miss the "as little burden on their consciousness as possible" part?
The cost of feathers has risen, even down is up!
