“This sentence is the epitome of injustice and a dangerous nod to child sexual predators letting them know, ‘No worries, we won’t go too hard on you,’”

This seems like its missing a pretty obvious point. Its not that the judge is going easy on a child rapist. The judge is going easy on a cop, who just so happens to also be a fucking child rapist. This cop, and the judge both deserve to be in jail for the rest of their lives.

To be fair, I did have a watch that automatically synced itself to the us naval observatories atomic clocks over the air.

That it damn well is. Those rules are written in blood. I'm sad to say I knew people that didn't follow the rules at place that didn't care. May they rest in peace.

Which I think its important to point out isn't an endorsement. It means that we in the west should be doing everything we can to enforce our saftey standards on products sold in our countries, and if that isn't possible then we should be bringing the manufacturing back onshore.

As an addition any company that's 'too big to fail is also to big to exist and needs to be broken up. Where thats not practicle then it needs to be nationalized and operated as a non-profit/crown corporation.

Agreed. It's not that I belive that the copyright holder shouldn't have some time period that they get all rights to an ip. It's that the current standard of lifetime plus 70 years is batshit fucking crazy.

I tend to support 20 years or less. Long enough to turn a good profit, short enough that someone who grows up with a piece of ip as part of the culture has rights to use it to their own ends.

I'd go as far as Windows 2000. This new XP crap is too shiny, and why did they hide the controls?

Maybe for you. They put windows on cloths machines and people watch the heck out of those, let me watch the dishes clean.

If I understand it the ceramic of the magnatron can contain beryllium. Inhaling or contacting beryllium can cause beryllicosus, lumps in the lungs and body, not fun. That said if you don't damage the magnetron you should be fine on that front.

You can volunteer yo not pay taxes. Move to some place without and renounce your citizenship. If I recall correctly Saudi Arabia doesn't have a great deal of personal taxes.

Nah, at that point you just need articulated limos!
