  on Online Appliance Shop Makes Customers Sign Agreement Threatening Criminal Libel Suits For Negative Reviews
  If a doctor claimed copyright a negative review you wrote about him, couldn't you republish it with a bunch of snarky comments and claim that it was a parody of the original?

  on DailyDirt: Some Quicklinks On Biological Discoveries
  No, because individuals do not evolve; that is left up to populations. However, a population of immortals would likely experience less selective pressure than a population of mortals.

  on Whether Or Not The TSA Has Ever Caught A Terrorist Is Apparently A State Secret
  I'm fairly certain that once you pass through customs, you have to go through security again.

  on Visiting Australia? Make Sure You Tell The Customs Officials About The Porn On Your Hard Drive
  Should be simple enough to smuggle through. Put it on an external disk, delete it, and don't touch the disk again. Once you're through Customs, undelete the files. There is no way that customs will scan your disk for deleted porn.

  on Court Rejects Probation Rules On Teen That Ban Him From Using Social Networks Or Instant Messaging Programs
  Seeing what tends to happen to rapists in jail, I think the punishment will quite readily show them the error of their ways.

  Darryl, would you please shut up and stop trolling? A large number of the posts here consist of critiquing American decisions. He does not extol "US superiority." We would all appreciate it if you would think a little bit before writing your rants.

  on Leaked Report Admits That Hadopi First Strike Accusations Won't Be Reviewed For Accuracy
  The beauty of this system is that it doesn't matter if you actually infringe. If you get reported, you have a strike. Sure, the half that doesn't infringe on copyright will probably have a lower rate of reports, but innocence is no defense against Hadopi.
