But I wonder if the next time someone in Sweden (but, for the sake of argument, someone who hasn't angered our rulers as Assange has) has sex with a sleeping partner and skips the country, there will again be a European arrest order and a worldwide Interpol hunt?
But then why do they feel they need the law? If almost no-one will defame the king, isn't it easier to just, say, ignore the fools that don't love him?
To be fair, her starting point is "If I were empress of the Universe...".
If I was Emperor of the Universe, you would all be tagged and chipped at birth too. And if the secret police finds the slightest sign of dissent, bzzt, doors won't open for you, computers won't let you access them, cars won't start, banks won't deal with you (and of course there is only electronic money), public buildings won't let you access, and so on. So behave!
My start button is already infinitely large: I throw my mouse to the lower left corner and my click will always hit it. I am on XP. Are you saying they removed that feature in Vista or 7, so that you have to target the button now?
You will not find anyone with a license to practice medicine that will agree with you.
True. But I think that is mainly because - at least in my country (with government healthcare monopoly, and near-total commitment to the War on Drugs) - anyone with a license to practice medicine who was found to be pro-narcotics would find his career to be stalled or over.
Very few people will understand. The majority will only see that Youtube's sound for videos is malfunctioning, blame Google, and move on. Because most people do not understand the connection between "who they vote for" and "what political decisions are taken".
It's the same as with the ribbOn. If we allow people to continue using their old ways, they will never Bother with our nEw things. Therefore, theY must not be given the choice.
Heh. I read a job ad the other day that had "Requirements: journalism degree or equivalent". How jolly inclusive in this day and age, when anyone who has finished primary school has "equivalent".
Seconded. How does one even come up with the idea to work as a writer if you can't even write very simple English correctly? (Or, from the other perspective, how does one get hired as a writer without having even very basic writing skills?)

Bold. He assumes full liability for any and all damages that his code does. Implied, since there is no clause that says he doesn't. If that's not necessary, why do all other licenses have that part?

Bad luck.
I think he would like that. The man seems to be all about getting his message out.
...without either of them knowing about it.
That'd be the one holding the recording device
Not necessarily. The phone-holder could be a bystander, recording the police and the friskee.
But then why do they feel they need the law? If almost no-one will defame the king, isn't it easier to just, say, ignore the fools that don't love him?
I also would note that there are a lot of people locked up due to bad fingerprint data and a sense of false certainty.
Citation needed. Interesting if true, but first we need to find out if it is, and what you mean by "a lot".

What is the worst part?
Very few people will understand. The majority will only see that Youtube's sound for videos is malfunctioning, blame Google, and move on. Because most people do not understand the connection between "who they vote for" and "what political decisions are taken".
Freedom of speech does not include freedom to slander.
Actually, sweetheart, that's exactly what it includes.
Or should, because the next step is to call unwanted criticism of our rulers "slander", and punish the critics for criticizing.
If only there was somewhere one could look up how things are spelled...
No.

But, the children! What if someone built an app that was inappropriate for children? Would you want your children to be able to run that?
Heh. I read a job ad the other day that had "Requirements: journalism degree or equivalent". How jolly inclusive in this day and age, when anyone who has finished primary school has "equivalent".

That would be impossible, since Rommel never wrote any book on armoured warfare. He worked on one, but died before completion.
He did write one on infantry warfare, though.
What's wrong with Censorship?
The only known antidote to error is criticism. Therefore, if we have censorship, we will make more errors than without. That is not desireable.
Demanding that a service provider not automatically slander you is not censorship. .
Yes, it is. How on Earth can you make the violence monopoly telling Google "this you may not say!" to not be censorship?
No need to mumble; you can spell it out. What disastrous effects are you referring to?
Even some of the UN agencies ... were some of the worse offenders.
You sound surprised?
To take the Ribbon as an example: Make the damn thing default but provide the classic menus and (customizable) toolbars as an option.
And then only lusers would use the ribbon. My guess is that that does not fly with the Microsoft Ribbon design team.
