>Do you believe rehabilitation is impossible or do you want revenge?

I don't believe that someone who commits mass murder can be rehabilitated, no. It isn't about revenge; it's about public safety.

Someone once pointed out that hoping a rapist gets raped in prison isn't a victory for his victim(s), because it somehow gives him what he had coming to him, but it's actually a victory for rape and violence. I wish I could remember who said that, because they are right. The score doesn't go Rapist: 1 World: 1. It goes Rape: 2.

What this man did is unspeakable, and he absolutely deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. If he needs to be kept away from other prisoners as a safety issue, there are ways to do that without keeping him in solitary confinement, which has been shown conclusively to be profoundly cruel and harmful.

Putting him in solitary confinement, as a punitive measure, is not a victory for the good people in the world. It's a victory for inhumane treatment of human beings. This ruling is, in my opinion, very good and very strong for human rights, *precisely* because it was brought by such a despicable and horrible person. It affirms that all of us have basic human rights, even the absolute worst of us on this planet.

This is precisely why I lost all interest in Oculus the instant I heard that it had been acquired by Facebook.

So, it's basically a recreation of what Google's already using for their Reverse Image Search with the parameters set a bit looser?

Apparently you don't use many free file download sites, sticking the CAPTCHAs or human-proving codes inside ads of various types has been a thing for a while now.

"You have to tolerate my bigotry and intolerance, or you're the real oppressor!!1" is such a tired and misguided argument I'm amazed at how proud idiots always seem to be when they make it.

I'm pretty sure all the things you just stated are basically empirically true, although those are overly simplistic and broad phrasings of them, almost to the point of uselessness. I'm sorry any formulation of political or social policy more complex than "burn down the existing civilization, I'm sure things will be magically all better then!" rankles you.

Oh wow, it's the frothingly-insane hosts file obsessed guy! You're still around! I haven't been by /. much the last few years, but this is like seeing an old, rambling, combative, monomaniacal friend, of sorts.

Jesus, why did I have you marked as a friend? It must have been some purely tech-related issue we agreed on. You probably whined when the Archie comics started introducing black characters back in the 70's, too.

Yes, this is a sane and measured response. Get off this site and go back to Stormfront where you belong.

Explain where he's wrong, then.

It's not reasonable, if it's non-commercial use, and they advertised "unlimited" usage.

They want to have it both ways, to say it's ulimited for marketing purposes, when there are in fact limits they just don't make available.

This isn't the first comment along these lines I've seen in the comments section. Dear god, has the level of science education on /. really fallen this low, or am I being pranked by belated April-foolsers?

Sending a message back in time from your own perspective does require bouncing it back from a moving reference frame to my knowledge, but is a valid consequence of FTL communication within special relativity.

Stop assuming you already know everything and can dismiss anything you don't understand; it just makes you look stupid. You don't appear to have even heard of special relativity beyond the word "observer", so I'm not sure why you think you can overturn the work of pretty much every physicist who's looked at the subject beyond unwarranted hubris.

Again, no it isn't, if by "comms" you mean any type of useful information transfer. You appear to have severely misunderstood the principles involved.

Functionally, quantum entanglement is the equivalent of placing single red and blue balls in separate boxes without looking at them, sending one box to China, and then opening your box. If it's the red ball, you now know the one in China is blue, and vice-versa, despite the great distance between them.

Now mechanically, the quantum equivalent is considerably more exotic, and involves either instantaneous transmission of quantum states or hidden variables that predetermine the result, but as far as actual utility, it's the same thing, and you can't use it to actually send any new data.

BTW Faster than light communications are already here

No, they aren't. I would suggest that you haven't been paying as close attention to the quantum computer "malarchy" as you think....
