Well sure. I doubt Kim lobbied for software patents. I oppose the use of land-mines in general but I support their placement in the boardrooms of corporations that manufacture them. Because heartless execs are nothing like innocent children

If I was hit by a car if be happy to know my organs were helping unrelated people. Sure. But you're postulating the murderer gets my organs. That's insult to injury. If I was an animal I'd want you to choke on me, not eat your fill and use

Copyright is somewhat legitimate because it recognizes that I may create an identical work especially if the problem space is small. Patents are all about camping on an idea you hope is so obvious the next people will instinctively think of

No, my opinion is that talking about doing the animal a disservice is incredibly rude and misleading. It's been killed. It's gone. The end. Nothing. Praying over it, or cleaning your plate, is irrelevant to the animal. If you were being pra

As a diet thing maybe it's bigger in North America. I'm in Canada. I'm glad, for your sake, that I was wrong here.

No, that's vacuous and "spiritual". The disservice is in killing it. I doubt you'd be okay with being mugged just because I also sold your shoes and organs. Another problem with gelatin in your food is that it's empty filler, used only beca

I think their (the ones who post Youtube videos about it anyways) goal isn't to make gun parts, but to show how laws that restrict some magic block (that can be milled, carved, or printed) have nothing to do with making anyone safe. They pr

Yeah, usually because it's thickened with gelatin. Enjoy your boiled hoof.

file.url (a property of the file object) is an MP3 url YOU can download. Could that be any clearer?

Did you draft the DMCA takedown, or order its writing? Who did? Positions if not names. Not just "legal", but who authorized it? Either way, you must have read it by now and are negligent in being here discussing this if you haven't, so, do

And yet if those employees wanted soda, what's another truck out of what must be hundreds already, coming to the company? Yes, it'd be 90k * 2 * the rock-bottom wholesale price of a can of pop, but if your employees want it and it saves the

Is the takedown, being knowingly false and implying illegal behavior, defamatory?

It just shows why you should always take steps to remain anonymous. If your name isn't attached to the report you can't be hurt no matter what happens.

No. You can't draw useful lines when there are no useful distinctions.

Right. But the news was also deliberately slanted to make whatever happened, worse.

His friends should just keep tweeting as if from him, and pretend it's being leaked. Drive the administration crazy trying to stop it.

Because next time he will burn AT&T to the ground instead of revealing their mistake.

No, that's not the problem. It's not that there are bad police, or that they can cause more damage, it's that the "good" police protect and enable them. When the thin blue line works the other way and expels anyone who ever hurts those in

You're already do the hobby stuff that got me here, so I assume you mean the actual job part of it. I work as a maintenance coder on a framework for a network security appliance. In a sense, everything I mentioned is just this - I often don

Actually, being able to tell anything about a message is incompatible with secure communications. Even the fact that there's a URL in there is more than I want you to know. It's all it would have taken to get shot in Iran in 2009. There's

I had an Apple 2+ but did very similar things. It got to the point where I could recognize Ultima 4 terrain in Copy2+'s sector editor. I guess I got started glitching - overwriting lots of things to see what died and by narrowing my probe,

So if I buy a music player and it comes with 40g of music on it I should assume it's fine and trust the company that sold it to me. Sweet. No, the poster above had it right. It's not the specific remedies that're needed, it's them throwing

But if you didn't write the dependency (and thus presumably don't commit to it), why would there be a merge conflict? As for upstream maintainers rebuilding your package, I don't see how having to update a submodule is vastly different from

Well, pivot all you want but if the ice is cracking beneath you you're still going down. Security was an afterthought - which might have been okay on a niche hobby site but wasn't when real money started to be traded. When they get their
