There's just something massively wrong with "public servants" claiming they can't be photographed while performing a public service.
Bullshit. There would be no complaints if some of them weren't incriminating abusive cops. Notice how many of the cases against photographing are in potential (or blatant) police-abuse situations. The public and the government should be applauding citizens for helping to maintain control, not punishing. |

...most of these are good people, and many of them have accomplished more in their lives than many of the denigrating commenters ever will.
While true, I'll still be prejudiced against people that leave comments like (#14): wtf is this bullshttttttttttt all about. can i get n plzzzzzzzzz and I'll actively argue that many who spell and act this poorly in public are probably at least as much of a detriment to society as they are a boon. Most of those smart-but-not-tech-savvy people can at least communicate properly. edit: the comment prejudice applies to bashers too. Poor behavior is poor behavior. |

> Yet the research continues to mount, arguing that evening people have qualities which should be nurtured. They tend to be more creative, intelligent, humorous and extroverted. They are the balance to morning people, who are said to be more optimistic, proactive and conscientious.
You're sounding dangerously close to a horoscope, there. |

The amount of money held in a payclick account must be between $20 to $1000 and withdrawals to a bank account are not allowed. Payclick also supports recurring transactions
WTFno. That's not a PayPal competitor. That's a way to guarantee that you spend money - a credit card company's wet dream. |

I forget where the link was (I think somewhere on yc), but it showed a chart of internet access speed through a few years, rated by countries. Most of the large-nation world had grown by 10%+, many over 50%, in a few years, while the US had dropped by a couple percent. This is in addition to most of those countries being higher already, so it's not merely a 5kbps -> 8kbps jump. My price for internet access not going down, and speed not going up (personal experience) in several years implies the ISPs are gouging because they can.
Proper competition is essential in every industry. If Google can provide it, good for them. This is an area where only the big players can compete, but nobody's stepped forward to fix things. Maybe this will be it. |

I did just admit it. Many of the worst-behavers I've encountered act similarly or worse on the internet, and the reverse has been quite accurate for the few I've encountered in that manner. It's certainly prejudice, but that doesn't make it wholly (or even mostly) invalid.
Prejudices have a prejudiced opinion applied to them. That snarling dog? It may not bite you, but it's rational to be prejudiced towards believing it may harm you. Though it may often be wrong, it proves valuable in the long run. The same goes for the person with a knife out, glaring at you, looking drunk. It could be totally harmless, but it may not be. By all means, go into the dark alley with them if you are wholly against prejudice. Unless, of course, they're never examined. They can be wrong or detrimental just like anything else. But broken down, all rational behavior towards anything alive is effectively prejudice, because you can't have sufficient knowledge to predict it perfectly. |

Not much on "why", just that it exists. The "why" is essentially a re-statement of the situation: illusory superiority and illusory inferiority.
A common "why" theory that I personally subscribe to: the less competent don't know enough to know what they don't know. |

Ooooh kay, lets look at the practicality of this:
If North Korea (as a government) wants something from Sourceforge's site, will blocking access to the site really prevent them from doing so for more than a second? Meanwhile, if a North Korean wants something from Sourceforge's site, why are you blocking it? Similar to above, they can still get it, but all you're doing is punishing the civilians, most of whom have little to nothing to do with the government. How is this helpful? Now, which of those two is the US Government at war with? They were implying the law is ridiculous. Complying is the cost of existence in a nation. |
