@Dayvie: Yes, we should make sure we keep all of the dangerous ideas and media from the public. Double-Plus Good.

@Dragonis: Well, think of the places people currently buy video games. How many of those places will sell you porn?

@halowithoutone001: Did you read this article at all? "No, not like R-rated movies. It's legal in the United States for a kid to go see an R-rated movie, even if it's against the rules set forth by the movie industry"

@Dayvie: In America we can make fun of our politicians on tv, too. Different laws and values I guess.

@sarge5: I actually meant a difference in the sense of people testing, you know, with science and stuff...

@NoobixCube: Yeah, the only people who will buy it are the ones who don't use their phones while they drive, so I suspect that after a while they will find that they're paying out a lot more than they take in.

@kimchi43: According to the macworld description, it does not (this makes a certain degree of sense in that there is no observable difference in safety between using a headset and just holding the phone up to your face).

@Liam Kinkaid: It is, I think, fairly rare for someone to be caught faking one tax return. Usually the goal of the people who investigate such things is to catch the habitual cheaters. If the same person has lied on their taxes for the last 10 years (or shorter if their taxes are especially involved, like a large…

@KamWrex: but...but, it's new! Surely this means it is destroying our children! Read more to find out how to protect your children from this frightening new thing!

@badger500: Ideas are dangerous! We must burn this book immediately!

@Navin R Johnson: Check your math real quick. If you want just data, it is almost definitely not cheaper to tether (My understanding is that Verizon won't sell you a smartphone data plan without voice and texting).

@silvermoonstar3: "Using the "sketching the agent" result alone, it was possible to identify 80% of the truth tellers and 87% of the liars"

@tuxus: Well, there's probably no technique for detecting lies which is going to be useful as evidence, just because of the varying nature of people and different skills in lying. However, being 80% sure someone is lying is still helpful in some situations.

@KillerKoala: War doesn't cause technological advancement, governments spending money on research do, and strictly speaking, without war the government would have a lot more money to spend on research grants and such.

@alex50: Do you leave copies of your house keys everywhere that you go? Or rather, everywhere that you leave finger prints?

@pjcard: My point was that there is a point at which providing a tremendously unpleasant alternative becomes coercive, and if we're going to talk about what some is or isn't forced to do, we need to agree on where exactly that line is.

@sid9221: I did exactly that. The quote was, if i read the old english correctly, a criticism of sweeping decisions made by representatives of the king regarding the defense of people on the frontier. So it's pretty far off to say that it has no relationship to sweeping decisions made by the federal government…

@pjcard: But if some airline doesn't want to show my naughty bits to TSA, they arebeing forced to allow TSA to do their thing. Furthermore, I am forced to fund the airport, so my choice becomes either paying for TSA to see other people naked or going myself, which is no choice at all. To use an extreme example, if…

@sid9221: Yeah, what actual freedom do you lose by locking your door or keeping your money somewhere safe though? It sounds like you completely missed the point altogether...

@tomsomething: A: Not having random strangers see me naked is definitely within the realm of 'essential liberty.' B: There is a very strong relationship between 'temporary safety' and safety from something which poses a relatively minor threat (compare deaths from terrorist attacks to those from drunk driving, for…
