"The stubborn application of law is not justice. It is authoritarianism, which Wikipedia defines as [...]" That is super stupid. You don't understand authoritarianism, then, citations of Wikipedia aside. You do a disservice

Every single thing you wrote is objectively correct, but in spite of that there are a couple of dozen responses calling you names and saying you are wrong. Fascinating. Anyway, I'm personally glad that the military has finally prosecu

All those sound plausible (having never been to a favela), and if true I agree with you on almost all counts. But it's still not a substitute for a light bulb unless it works in the dark.

And it would be one thing if it were a country that had any sort of positive track record on privacy protection. The idea that Russia of all places should be used as an example of privacy protection vs. the US is _hilarious_. I mean, off t

Great thought. That's why SkyMall (profitable, $100M+ revenue) should merge with an unprofitable reverse-merger OTC trading company that is unprofitable with $10M trailing revenue on 40/60 terms. Instead of doing that, maybe they

"enough revenue to support a trailing $300 - 500m valuation" Did you even take a look at Xhibit's SEC Filings? http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=XBTC - their quarterly finances are a mess. Skymall may be

Is there any reason you know for the decline outside of your article? Has the merger hit snags since then? Did you ever look into the 10%+ beneficial holder "XSE LLC".

The difference is that that Ballmer is talking about a company with real products that makes billions of dollars, and this guy is talking about a company with no real products and no revenue to speak of.

According to Yahoo! the Xhibit CTO makes $3K/year. Three thousand dollars. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=XBTC+Profile

Sure, they have the right to post their content anywhere they want, but after that it's CL's. Same is true with comments, posts on discussion/Q&A sites, etc.

Craigslist has been incredibly consistent about its position. It would be shocking of Krrb didn't get a C&D. The author's mock surprise and petty insults come off really pathetic given this is clearly a planned publicity stu

I regret phrasing my response that strongly. I still disagree, but I see where you're coming from. Thank you for your service.

"Soldiers are, in a sense, slaves" Except that in the US, military service is voluntary.

What a lovely sound-bite. What was it, aside from "mob rule" of the majority, that passed amendments 14, 15, 19, 24, and 26 to the Constitution? Those would be the amendments that specifically expanded the freedoms of minorities

Well, the beauty of a democratic society is that if a majority agree with you, then you can change the system. Personally, I disagree with you, but it's a free country. Your comment about the military is so rude, though, that it was d

I would highly consider to the grandparent poster that they do their own due-diligence on the life in the state of Texas, particularly if they have children. Check the poverty rate, access to health care, pollution, and education rankings

My point was more that people wouldn't use China-made OSes or hardware because of security concerns. Even knowing what I know today, I trust US equipment and software more.

I'm glad someone can finally get up on their high horse and say this. I'm sure Anya Politkovskaya and Alexander Litvinenko appreciate it.

I swear, it's like nobody ever read the USA PATRIOT act, even though its been law for 12 years. Obama's fault? For what, following the laws that Congress passed?

Please seek out a therapist to talk to. You can't be happy with the level of anger and resentment that you seem to have right now. At first I thought you were an attention seeking jerk, but after reading your comment history, I think you

I'm not new to here. I just created a throwaway to say a few things in another thread. I didn't read it because I was already familiar with the story. I have never cared so much for the amount of effort involved in things, just the value

What is the matter with you? Why do you write like this? Are you trying to build a personal online brand? Talk like an actual human being. I don't need 5 paragraphs of explanation about why we deal with problems that are immediate to us.

This comment is the worst piece of crap I've read here. It reads like the worst kind of egotistical, entitled, and insular stereotype of people in this field. You ought to be ashamed. You mind, "_is_ Olympic material". Bollocks. Did yo
