In which case, for the user's safety, we need to remove the ability to download exe's. Disabling won't be good enough; they may follow steps to enable it not knowing what they are doing.

In which case they will also download and run SomethingSagaCheats.exe without second thought. Should Firefox disable exe downloads without a setting to turn them on? What about users who download SomethingSagaCheats.jpg and rename it to e

How in the world can this be any better than Rasberry Pi (or some equivalent) + dumb TV? I see an opening for a 'TV Smartify' business selling customized Rasberry Pi's (or some equivalent) that you attach to your TV, plug in

Any such law would be used to squash small businesses while larger ones are largely given a pass (even a fine large enough to sting will only sting). See the difference between dealing with known drug money as an individual vs. as a bank.

Unless they are leaders or have some needed knowledge, the lives of 'the bad guy' will be valued at less than the cost of the robot. Ask Joe Taxpayer how many taxes s/he is willing to spend to capture alive a low level terro

What are we comparing when we are comparing coding? I could teach a child to code a simple text based game, but designing a massive software for a critical system is just as hard as building the rest of that system. Most any teen can take

>how many teenagers can design a nuclear submarine? Just about every one I meant. It isn't likely to work. But then I wonder how many teenagers could code a working control system for something like a nuclear submarine.

Living in the southern portion of the USA, I get some mean looks when I wish people "Happy Treason Day" on July 4th.

I assume that is what the free trial is for. Which would be analogous to getting one free $50 sandwich to test out. Granted, there is the cost of switching from feeding your car a $5 sandwich to feeding it a $50 one considering the sandwi

Just because something has been hidden in plain sight doesn't mean it isn't being hidden. Many people dig no deeper than the news headlines and I do think this has been abused in different areas to mislead the public.

Assuming the car was making you money and by buying the sandwich your car could end up making you even more money.

$70 dollars is a lot in some organizations. Far more than it should be when compared to the overall budget. Even if a 1% boost in productivity would realize $600 to $1000 in savings, the penny wise culture in many organizations would be s

>However, combining that with an economic system which sets your ability to feed yourself and your families based on the effort you put in is a bad thing. This would be great. The problem is, reward has little to do with effort. Lots o

I've rar'd quite a few files in my day, many with a password. The majority of them I could not remember if asked. We effectively have made forgetting a crime in the name of protecting children and stopping terrorism.

You also have to factor risk of spoilage. 2 units of milk is cheaper than 1 unit. But what is the risk of .5 units being thrown out since you normally don't use 2 units within the time it takes to spoil. You could increase consumpti

If they act in such a way that they must continue to act the same way to prevent knowledge from being transferred then I could see the courts ruling they must continue to act in such a way even if it would involve lying. The only ways aroun

Don't forget to harvest the data for future blackmail or social discrediting use. Also allow for fake records to be added so that those in power have dirt even on the cleanest challengers.

It is sure great that the UK never has and never will have a child molestation scandal involving individuals in power, some of whom may try to silence, cover up, or postpone the issue by abusing their power. There are plenty of people who h

There is a slight difference between 'largest source of scholarships for women' and 'largest source of women-only scholarships for women'. I doubt Miss America is the former.

Shouldn't any group of people who will walk over you just because you project some image be considered a bad crowd? If someone is running with a bad crowd, then (as you point out) #2 is the problem. If they aren't, then #3 should

"If we're just going to let corporate malfeasance go unpunished, why even have the laws on the books at all?" Because the point of laws is not to punish the elite. They may be written to appear fair to the common reader, but
