Would you categorize account hacking as theft?

http://tinyurl.com/8xrdwsx Here's one for you MG. What's interesting to me here (besides the legal status of virtual goods) is that this seems to be treated as just a theft case, rather than assault with a deadly weapon and battery, which would be…

hmm, I know there were people asking in the old thread. I don't think I'll bother with this unless we get a decent number.

I think they're a few years too late on this one. Kind of a moot point now.

What did you think was region specific lews? I very deliberately tried to be careful about that. Not having a car... well, I don't know how to help you with that. Not everything can be a common household item or this would get boring very quickl…

International Earth Rotation Service o.o I did not know this existed, and the name just makes me laugh. I think a minute would be fine though, if they're only adding a second every few years, then with a minute, they could go a couple decades be…

I can run another game if there's interest. It'll have to wait until the Scallywag games are done though. :P

I like how many sites are promoting awareness on this and opposing censorship. Not just wiki and reddit, but google, and even smaller guys like webcomics. http://www.xkcd.com/ devoted today to it with some nice info links. http://www.amazingsuper…

I think they're way over priced. :P So over priced even the thieves know it's not worth stealing.

You're taking my "case" beyond the context in which I said it. My case, such as it is, is only that I agree with them disallowing the label of something being hormone-free when it is not. Ironically, I think this is similar to the problem you have…

Man, Russia is definitely the place for getting free weapons. you just have guns and tanks and aircraft randomly popping up everywhere out in the countryside. What I like about that screen is less for general computing use, and more for streaming …

This is cool

lol, I want to see the risk assessment on drinking milk! I'm going to feel so daring having milk on my cereal tomorrow morning.

Do a quick search on hormones in milk, rBGH is not the only one people are concerned about. Cow's milk carries natural hormones from the cow even when they're not being given anything extra. This can cause a lot of concern, because you can check t…

I know there's been some efforts here, doesn't change my mind about the legal aspect though. The agency warned the dairy industry in 1994 that it could not use “Hormone Free” labeling on milk from cows that are not given engineered hormones, becaus…

I think it's frivolous. Sure you want to create publicity, but it doesn't add validity to a case when the accused is following current laws and regulations. I'm sure it will accomplish their goals, but in terms of a legal action, it's invalid. Th…
-
It's not easy, I can't disagree there. But you can't find people guilty of breaking a law that doesn't exist either. You have to make the law before you're allowed to hold people accountable to it. In this case, they say if it comes from a plant …

So you think suing someone for abiding by the law makes more sense? :P
-
I think it's ridiculous. Humans have been practicing genetic modification for years, we just got better at it recently. Do people think any of the corn they eat today is like the corn that existed 500 years ago? Or ANY of their produce really? H…

hmm, I liked the first 2 min sci, but sort of meh after that.

wow, I don't even have words for that... How could any medical staff be so stupid?

squid ink would be more expensive though, I'd imagine. And I wonder if squid ink would attract customers or turn people off more than the idea of an artificial dye...

And another interesting instrument

Cool instrument I've never seen before.

That was a pretty cool ad

He hopes that file-sharing will now be given religious protection. lol. As amusing as this is though, this bit seems more correct: Despite the new-found interest in the organisation, experts said religious status for file-sharing would have littl…
