Yeah, so far that site has shown that you can still expect privacy if only by the technical incompetence of others.

I was about to say, Batman does a really good creepy uncle.

I think the initial reaction has shown it to be a bad enough idea, but what about a privacy concern? I assume that if you can broadcast ads, amber alerts, and traffic information, you can also probably tell whose car (or at least which license plate number) is on the road or where it may be...

Evolve or die. We just need to keep sitting for another few thousand years, by then most will have adapted to this preferable way of life, with chairs causing little to no damage to our physiology. The suffering I experience sitting on my ass all day isn't just for me, but for future generations...

Yeah, I have to agree. Did I miss one of those weird conferences where they classify normal shit as disorders? Is boredom now "Amusement Deficiency Disorder"? If you tell me to stay at home and not watch TV, play games, or try to contact people, of course I'm going to get a little anxious and...

Damn, you're old. I don't recall a time before I could play Quake at least. Starcraft > pretending legos are RTS units.

Well, while his point is invalidated by the Chinese invasion of Tibet, you must admit, we Americans do love war, a whole lot lol. We've had a new war or major conflict every 20 years or so since WWI justified or not, that's an issue for historians to debate. However, this is off topic, so I...

China would deny the need to drink water and eat food if it made the party look bad. They shouldn't even respond to events anymore. We get it, you lie a lot. Moving on, lol.

We apparently like this kind of scary, I mean we in the states gave him the max presidential terms. Wonder if the Aussies like a good horror too.

Spin control before Google pulls out. They know their excuses are laughable to every other nation. It's supposed to groom the population for the news of Google's departure, hopefully make them glad Google is leaving, instead of feeling like a robust service has yet again been destroyed by their...

I have to disagree. In stealing a handbag, you deprive the vendor of a material resource and don't compensate them. They can't just drag and drop and make a new hand bag. You'll note that when you inadvertently distribute this song to multiple users, you incur no noticeable reproduction cost...

Yeah, it's hard to make an analogy about. It's like driving on a toll road without paying, but the owner of the toll road, after making the initial investment of 1 lane, can add infinitely many lanes are basically negligible cost (1 original mp3, copy it a ton, sell all the copies). Closer...

That's a very broad allegation. I'd argue that this happens in the minority of cases. Ideally there wouldn't be opposing sides in research. By the pursuit of truth in the sciences, and in a perfect world, we would all want the same thing, to discover and utilize new knowledge in the advancement...

Per a previous discussion post, "As for the graph, it would require information regarding geological activities, methane levels, solar activity, and all sorts of secondary and tertiary information to make it something more useful to analyze. I neither have this information on hand nor the...

You can not prove, without question, that the holocaust happened. By definition, if it was without question, you would have no dissenters, which exist, even if you and I believe them to be crazy (you can merely present enough evidence that it becomes a consensus within a community)...
