Count me in - I say we need more video footage of squirrels gnawing out the eyes of young children.

Evolution and abiogenesis are not the same thing. Evolution relies on the preexistence of life; please make sure you understand what you're arguing against before you start spewing circular logic on the internet.

From the parent brochure at the link:
Let a parent respond to intimidating e-mail.
Watch out for bogus warnings that you
must immediately confirm your
password or pay a huge bill, as well as
personal threats and harassment.
Does this include MAFIAA extortion letters?

Not to mention that Diebold's ATM machines and the like are likely still unsecured.

Am I the only one here who would consider a unilateral takeover of the 'net by the federal government to be a cybersecurity emergency?

You certainly aren't obliged to give them that information, but unfortunately the present legal situation dictates that if you refuse, they don't have to let you (back) into the U.S.

There's still a chance that someone has heard of 'Lunix' at the crossing - the real moment of truth is when someone crosses with a completely homebrew OS.

That's why you should stick with bears.

Even if you use Google Docs in a limited capacity as a company, you would be foolish to not make some form of backup. The nature of cloud computing makes it unreliable at times, and any company using it as a resource should take steps to protect its data. That being said, if you were an idiot and decided to forgo backups, the worst the court should charge you with is non-malignant negligence, save in the presence of evidence that the decision was made with the consideration of escaping a court order.

I feel it's worth concentrating on one aspect of Wal-Mart's business practices here: their anti-union stance. Sam Walton began the retailer on the principle of barrel-bottom wages, and not much has changed since then; when groups of workers have merely considered unionizing, they have found their positions eliminated - even those workers who opposed unionization. Tom Coughlin, who served on the Wal-Mart Board of Directors, was convicted of embezzling money, which was then used to bribe union officials into disclosing which workers had signed union cards. Despite all this, Wal-Mart still claims that it is not anti-union.
And don't even get me started on their selective censorship regime.
End of story, avoid Wal-Mart if at all possible.

Sidestepping the various moral arguments...
If the RIAA believes it reasonable to charge $80,000 US for each copied song, that means that the average monetary damages of a U.K. file sharer would be $248,000,000, or £150,613,385.15.

It's not the number of hacks, as much as the publicity they've been getting of late. In the 90's, hacks were all about putting up a splash letting everyone know what had happened; in recent years, however, most hackers have been far more subtle. Part of the upswing in reported incidents is likely due to the anti-sec movement and its supporters hacking anything in sight, and part of it is simply that certain governments have gotten around to using the net to do what they would have done a decade ago with a knock on the door from the national police.

I see a mutually beneficial relationship: the gold farmers pay in gold for their therapy, allowing the therapists to give gifts of gold along with their encouragements to join up.

Even if the guy just did any new code without the GS code as a reference, it would likely be very similar, ergo, I fail to see why having the code on-hand would be so very disastrous.

Might I suggest that Carnes was driven from the market by the Beatles, who started the implied need for a band to write its own material?

The only question is, regardless of whether or not this has any real effect on the transfer of gold, are Chinese politicians going to start complaining about losing Chinese jobs to South Korea?
