is the adversarial system ethical?
447264
The adverserial legal system is governed by rules of conduct and engagement imposed on both parties. In that sense it is ethical as it provides a structure for "fair play". However, a lawyer's job is to win a case hor his/her client. Taking advantage of loopholes in the law is one way to beat the otherside. In some cases, this may not be ethical. Nevertheless, the legal process that we have provides the best way to redress a wrong since a party that feels its claim was not handled well/fairly within the scope of the law, can in some cases seek further action through the appelate courts. This is as good as it gets folks! The alternative would be Hamurarbbi's Sheria/Law, where justice is meted out in the form of chopping off body parts.

you are looking for NEURAL NETWORKS. Try those two books:\nbayesian artifical intelligence, by Kevin Korb & Ann Nicholson (ISBN 1-58488-387-1) and\nNeural Network Experiments on Personal Computers and Workstations (Bradford Books) (Paperback)\nby Granino A. Korn (ISBN 0262610736 )\n\nNote that the two books have a completely different aproach to neural networks. The second one (which is older) treats NN as transformation matrixes and provides algorithms for uptdating those (learning) but without a sound probabilistic reasoning support.\nThe first one goes from Bayesian probability (the effect of new information upon knowledge) to computing constructs for representing it.

Ethics are not, by definition, unethical.  However, I suspect you mean something specific, such as a rule that the company you work for calls "ethics" which you question.  Try to tell us about it.

i would like to (respectfully) disagree with the poster above. in my experience (diablo 2 and battle.net, mainly) the stupidest people try to use keyloggers, most often because somebody else did it to them and they don't want to feel stupid so they try to catch somebody else.

First of all, you can never make anything idiot-proof.  \nAlso, I think overall society (in developed countries anyway) is more educated then ever before and those in control in business and government are among the top educated.  To me the question is, will the control be wielded morally and justly? ...and that is a concern.

yes, it's called communication.  Images can be conveyed through art or illustration.  Thoughts can be conveyed verbally.  Emotions through body language.  If a neurosurgeon tried cutting and pasting, he would have a big gooey mess on his hands, not to mention some very angry bereaved families.  Besides, neural networks only make sense in the context of the remainder of the brain's network system at large, so it would be like trying to do physical splicing with a floppy disk.  It wouldn't work.

Death penalty laws are social engineering. I cannot subscribe to the ethics of social engineering. As a nurse who has worked in the system with pedophiles, I know also that episodic imprisonment is ineffective. They are relentless. I support the only known ethical solution which is chemical castration.  But, then again, I believe in that for Conservatives, too.

It used to be called "Zealous Advocacy" in the ethical codes.\n\nThe basic idea is that the legal system is adversarial, and that truth is best found when opposing learned individuals vigorously advocate their respective sides of the argument.\n\nThe 6th Amendment also guarantees assistance of counsel, which has been interpreted as effective assistance. Since the prosecutor is likely to be vigorous in seeking conviction (given the nature of the adversarial system), the defense must be equally vigorous.

There are no ethics involved when you do lie about something. You have also stolen the information. You have destroyed a trust. You have given a competitor an advantage he would not have had and hurt the first company's future business. You have hurt your fellow employees. You may well have ruined your own reputation as well.
