If Hannibal Smith of the A-team walked into the room with his former self armed with a tack hammer, he would know he was about to cause damage. Who knows what repercussions would take place after forcibly inserting the tack hammer into young Hannibal. He could cause serious physical or psychological damage to himself. As soon as he goes through with the act, he would remember and possibly even still be affected by the changes. This, IMO, is the same as self-mutilation and he would not be arrested for it.
Edited to be more relevant. 82
Anarchy / Re: The Rapist Paradox« on: May 29, 2012, 08:17:41 AM »This particular interaction depends on the individual being of 2 distinctly different mindsets between the point of the rape and the point of the time travel, so backwards time travel would be the only way to stage the act without the victim having ample foreknowledge of it and running the risk of preventing the occurance to begin with. Not to keep trying to ruin your hypothetical or anything, but let's take another example besides property damage. Let's say I pull out my handgun one day and decide I want to shoot myself. For this purpose, let's say I don't want to actually kill myself, just put a bullet in my body. And let's say, hypothetically, there is enough time between me firing the gun and the bullet hitting my body for me to change my mind. That is, while the bullet is leaving the gun and while it is in the air, I start to regret the act of firing the gun at myself. If I have a complete change of heart between pulling the trigger and getting hit by the bullet, could this not also be two distinct mindsets? And if not, why not? I don't have time to move out of the way of the bullet, so I can't prevent the occurance. I just have enough time to regret the decision and vow justice on my previous self. I go to the hospital, and tell the cops it was me from before and ask them to charge 'him' (me) with, perhaps, attempted murder. I don't care that I wasn't actually trying to kill myself. I'm just mad that I tried and I want justice! In this example, they could and would charge me with something but it wouldn't be attempted murder or even assault with a deadly weapon (unless the attorney was you). My point is that I don't think the flow of time should matter and I don't think having different mindsets matter. I don't think in either of our hypothetical situations, the subject could get the same conviction as they would if they were raping or shooting someone else. 83

Hm.. I wonder if legal paradoxes are affected by post-selection. If they are, we would have a pretty boring thread because you would most likely fail at raping yourself. So, I'll assume they aren't . .
Actually, I still don't have that great of an idea on this. There would probably be no evidence unless the time traveler took a picture or something, so whoever's charging the time traveler would have to rely on the time traveler's confession. But, then again, the time traveler is the defendant as well . . In that case, why do we need time travel? What if I tried to charge myself with rape against myself right now in our non-hypothetical world? What other proof would you have besides my own confession? Would you be forced to convict me? How about another hypothetical: I bash my car windows in with a bat to "ruin my future self's car". Can I be convicted for some crime against my future self? Does the direction of time travel matter? YEAH ANSWER THAT .... EDIT: I suppose if the past time traveler could prove he/she was raped, then there would be evidence which could be shown in the time-traveler's own time which could count as proof. But the whole defendant is also the accused problem is the same. 84

Most of you reading this probably have some of your own methods of evading the tracking and sharing of your browsing habits online. But in case you don't or are interested in checking out an alternative, here's a neat browser tool I found called Do Not Track Plus (DNT+):
http://www.abine.com/dntdetail.php Basically, it blocks your dumb browsers (Chrome, FF, Safari and IE) from sending your info to third parties. It also tells you how many attempts there were (total and per-site), and breaks them down for you if you're interested. FAQ is here: http://www.donottrackplus.com/faqs.php 88

Entertainment / Re: My $300 Netflix Box« on: February 20, 2012, 08:48:23 PM »
I have a PS3 I use to play Bioshock (waiting patiently for Infinite). I actually have Netflix (although it's a friend's account), but a rarely use it. Although that might have something to do with my schedule and the fact that I have every cable television channel available where I live.
