The Cloud Ate My Homework
theodp writes "Over at CNET, James Urquhart sings the praises of cloud computing, encouraging folks to 'really listen to what is being said, understand how the cloud is being used, and seriously evaluate how this disruptive model will change your projects, your organization, and even your career.' Fair enough. Over at the Google Docs Help Forum, some perplexed cloud computing users spent the month of November unsuccessfully trying to figure out why they've been zinged for inappropriate content. Among the items deemed inappropriate and unshareable include notes on Henry David Thoreau ('the published version of this item cannot be shared until a Google review finds that the content is appropriate'), homework assignments, high school yearbook plans, wishlists, documents containing botanical names for plants, a list of websites for an ecommerce class, and a list of companies that rent motorcycles in Canada. When it comes to support in the cloud, it kind of looks like you might get what you pay for."
No, I understand what natural rights are.. and the right to be armed is one of them. Notice it says "keep and bear arms," not limited to guns.
Slavery was an infringement on inalible rights, and I wish it hadn't been included, but I think at the time they believed something was better than nothing, and that they could address it later.
Notice we still have blue laws, and gay marriage is outlawed. The fact that there are laws which conflict with natural rights doesn't make natural rights invalid.
