The thing is, in a free market, greed is checked. IRS, not so much.

This isn't very surprising. Nearly all crumbled or shredded cheeses seem to be using cellulose (or something like it) at the very least to prevent clumping. I've always suspected it would be more succeptible to adulteration. Even

Per her request, the emails didn't leave her server in digital form. They were printed out, 55,000 pages of them. It's akin to something like paying your property tax in pennies. Probably served as a nice "fuck you" to h

I'm experiencing this behavior on desktop Chrome 49.0.2623.39 beta (64-bit). I just now tested it with Chrome for Android and I'm unable to play the music at all.

I've noticed that when I hit play on the example mp3 and then go back to the homepage (via the icon in the upper left corner), the music still plays and I'm unable to stop it. I can even have the same track playing multiple times

They are Islamists. They do not come from a multi-cultural society, e.g. a society of tolerance and acceptance. I think it would be quite deluded to expect something vastly different of them. Whether of not they will adopt Western culture a

I've noticed some cultures tend to have unusually high standards for open source software and an expectation of personalized support. Perhaps because of the pervasiveness of "freemium" business models, I think a lot of people

Local governments have been doing this for decades with outrageous subsidies for stadiums, resorts, sporting goods chains, Walmart, and the like. These corporations game competing towns for the best perks, with promises of jobs and tourism.

You've posed a false dichotomy. No one is talking about a free market in violence. A free market is tightly constrained by social custom, ostracism, and economic forces that are often more powerful than law. Lack of regulation does not

Personally I don't think Google Maps (upon it's conception) was 10x better than Mapquest. Even for a while after Maps came around, Mapquest was pretty compelling. Yahoo Maps was also around during this time, circa 2002 I believe,

I disagree. This discussion is regarding a Discovery News article. These sort of "news" outlets report findings of super powerful warrior princesses and all sorts of other nonsense that goes far beyond the actual source material.

With perhaps the rare exception for specific kinds of discrimination, can't Google pretty much terminate use of it's services to anyone, for any reason? Assuming they aren't paid customers, it's not like Google has a con

Just out of curiosity, what's not reassuring about Azure, other than the fact that they seem to think Chef and Puppet are Linux distributions?

Even better, you can simply install conventional solar panels above existing roads.

Yes I'm well aware at the ease in which someone could build a client that would provide such a feature had it not been included. Moxie takes great care not to provide mere illusions of security (or in this case obscurity) such as self-

Even if convenience is not a priority for you, it almost certainly will be for people you want/need to interact with.

I've recommended Signal (then TextSecure) to a number of non-technically savvy friends as a trustworthy app that takes security seriously. Moxie is somewhat unique in this respect, among the sea of proprietary apps put out by larger sh

Recent updates also show disconcerting "Joe is on Signal!" messages for everyone in your contacts (who is registered with Signal) regardless of whether or not you've had any contact with them. They've stated that this is

So nice to be reminded these are still being used domestically.

Private (rather than public) law enforcement would be a good solution. The end result is cost and quality competitive service. The lack of immunity results in much more conscientious policing.

As a young fellow, my best friend's father was high ranking law enforcement officer. Anytime we encountered any trouble (similar to the sort you mentioned), he'd simply hand the officer his father's card or phone number and o

Common law is not so messy. Unfortunately we live in a world of victimless crimes, with a system of law that is like it's own universe, always expanding, and of unknowable vastness. So arcane that it requires temples upon temples of se

By peripheral do you mean things like entertainment systems and apps? If so I agree. However the author specifically emphasized the importance of the computer and it's associated software. I've got to think that entails things lik

Not if you are rooted. If you want to get really crazy you can even boot up a whole Debian image.
