True that they don't annoy any powerful union, or company. (nope, Vampire the Masquerade tribute username ;) )

Most of blablacar drivers do not respect the law regarding this. The rules for computing the cost of a ride are fairly rigid. For instance, the toll price cannot be taken into account. Here are the rules : http://droit-finances.c

As a french, I wonder how this law will affect other car pooling services, such as blablacar. I use them quite frequently to move, as it's a lot cheaper than train, and you can chat with the driver.

Well, it IS up to me. Thanks to piracy, I have the choice to not have to bend in front of Comcast to watch TV shows.

option 1 is far from 'nothing else', since I cannot get HBO, without suscribing to a whole package. Option 2 will allow me to watch GoT, true, but I'd have to wait for the BR release.

Option 1 will force me to get a full channel package on Comcast. Option 2 will have DRM.

It's the illusion of security. The DRM contains the private key (because, well, you have to decrypt it, at some point). A motivated hacker will be able to get it, and decrypt the file for its own use.

Well, the first life that existed was maybe some kind of rna-like molecule with very little to no protection. Not even a cell. I do not think any of these could leave any traces, even a fossil.

100% of what you do is meaningless on a long enough term. Unless you find a way to reverse entropy.

behavior that have a negative impact on other people, such as stealing for drugs, comes from the physical addiction. And, I took the most addictive drug to illustrate this. What is the net negative impact that MDMA users, for instance, have

About 23% of the people that use heroin becomes addicts[0]. Most users are responsible, but since they are responsible, they won't impact you, or anyone, and you'll never hear of them [0] http://www.drugabuse.gov/p

You could craft an url that makes your browser download a file named 'chromesetup.exe' that comes from a google URL, but is a worm.

If the objective was to help addict we would help them instead of throwing them in prisons. Furthermore, alcohol is not forbidden because some people are addict. Ultimately, I would add that drug abuse by itself is not the problem. The prob

Pretty sure the average worker can get up from his/her chair and stretch whenever he wants. A luxury high-schooler do not have.

even on 'valid' binaries, it still tends to mess up your terminal. I noticed that pretty quickly when I started working with Linux. Are there really people that work with cat and grep on binaries files ?

I'm not sure the cops would like it, if each person who ever visited SR out of curiosity gave them a phone call.

Still illegal in France, IIRC. We really have an outdated policy regarding drugs...

Basically, either you kill yourself, because you see yourself as unfig with society, either because you are too fit for society, at a point you are ready to die for it. The kamikazes are a good example of that.

no, you need to use the exec* family function to start a process without invoking the shell. Take care, it does not really start a new program. It replaces the current executing program. So, you will need to fork beforehand.
