I ought to have been clearer on what I meant. When an action degrades the quality of life (just to use a general term) of course it should matter in a court of law. My point was merely that when deciding on the sentence, the law should cons

You're writing with emotions, not facts. What you got right is education and social mobility are key factors to less crime, Norway achieves this. What you didn't get right is the role of the justice system. It's not the role

I recently kayaked around Bastoy (prison), it's a great place; nice beaches; great view on all sides; rapists and axe murderers shuttling to or from places on their bikes. Does sound like I'm making a joke doesn't it? It&#x27

Considering melanoma is lethal, and the treatment (radiating away the entire immune system) bring very risky, this new treatment has the potential to both lower the risk and increase survival rates. I'll be very interested to see if th

I don't mean to nitpick, but that is one thing I don't find to be true. Comparing W7 install to Linux Mint, Mint won by landslide on my laptop. Disregarding the horrorshow of a partition layout from the manufacturer that I had to

I find so much wrong here. For one you really don't seem familiar with Wine, which despite being run by a ragtag group of developers already has brought legacy support for most Windows games on Linux. The bluray argument is largely moo

I would be completely fine with ads on my main sites if they had some form of quality control over AdSense and the likes, or even better yet hosted their own ads like you said, but... tasteful. I hate flashing ads, I loathe sound, I'm

I would hardly think bar culture is a good example of gender equality of any sort. As you say, in fact, disrespect a woman in any way and a stranger will probably knock you out. That's barbarism, right down to the preferential treatmen

I would imagine that could be solved by keeping the water at or near a boiling point; breaking the surface tension of the water while still being cool enough to let the tin completely solidify.

I was going to write a response adding that adding a picture of the actual location would've been just as easy, instead I made a post about how I was going to make a post about how ready it'd be to use a snapshot of the actual loc

Why would anyone be offended? For some odd reason you're just exaggerating as if you haven't even bothered reading the article, or the valuable comments here either for that matter.

There is a third side to this: Increased self-awareness. This treatment only caused the brain to develop normally, which would mean that in the case of humans with Downs the other downsides to the disease would remain (until another cure&#x

My issue with politics in general is the lack of sacrifice for the amount of power one gains. Lets take the President as an example, what does a presidential candidate sacrifice upon choosing (of own free will) to run? Aside from 4-8 years

Do the main target audience for action films want to watch and listen to a female character who sports a typical "female personality" as written by a woman, though? I don't know if I want Monica from FRIENDS shooting nazis in

What actual strong female characters have in common is the fact that they're not showing a huge amount of feminine traits. Take Zoey in FF for instance, if you disregard the female body she is not really female, in a good way. She is a

I like auto-complete in web-browsers, but I can't see a single use for it in my terminals. After all, what Linux-user hasn't automated their terminal input to some degree? Nah, I'll stick with my [TAB]...

I don't find it heartbreaking, but it is somewhat fascinating. While it's understandable to call it a mental illness at a young age, Martin is 60 and well past his prime and is right in what he's saying. What value does he re

Should there not be a larger emphasis here on the nature of the service? It's not humans reading the mail, and the gathered data -as far as I know- does not enter the hands of a third party.

The fact that Valve has stayed "small" might be the singlemost reason why they're actually pushing for alternative gaming options. Steam for Linux and the games that come with, do you figure that'd be the case today if t

They'd get some tens of thousands of votes from 4chan, that's for sure. Until you realise most of them can't vote from being underage and/or foreigners. Oh nevermind.
