But if your windows are open, people are free to look in.
I have a feeling we've gone down this road before, but... If my curtains are open and I see someone I have the option of closing them or calling the cops. I can expect privacy in my own home. With the Google van driving by unknown to me how do I close my curtains? I don't know what the laws are like in your area but where I live its legal to photograph people in their own home (even if they are naked) provided the photo is taken from public land.
If you happen to be bonking someone on the street just at that moment, and don't want your face (or whatever) on camera, tough. Do it indoors..
Yeah, but wasn't there something a while back about google street also getting snaps in as high as second story windows and of girls sunbathing? Yes you could see a cat sitting at the window of a second storey flat and there were also 2 girls sunbathing in bikinis.
But Google's cameras are driving down a public road so don't lie half naked in public if you don't want to be photographed. Same goes for open windows.
This is why we should enforce departure times and not allow people like you onto the aircraft.
I lose count of how many dozens of times I've had delays for idiots leaving things to the last minute just because YOU have nowhere important to be it doesn't mean other don't and have you considered the cost of labour? If it takes half a dozen baggage handlers to locate a bag to remove from cargo that is allot of time and money spent not to mention that the aircraft may not be able to make up time in the air so that's higher fuel consumption if the aircraft has to wait to land.
You clearly do not travel by air very often otherwise you would not be so ignorant to the inconvenience you cause.
But its not 10 minutes It turns into half an hour how do you know your getting on the plane security might hold you up or you end up at the wrong gate or countless other reasons. Most people get lost and its a race to get their bags off the plane so that it can take off on time.
things don't run perfectly that's why they ask you to be there 2hours before the flight.
Why should everyone else be delayed because of your laziness you should have to abide by the same rules as everyone else.
I have to agree with you there. I only ever have my one backpack by my feet and its packed and ready before landing but some people put entire suitcases overhead along with whatever crap they have shoved into cargo (I feel sorry for the baggage handlers)I want to get to the carousel to get my one bag and be outta there before the rest of the moron brigade.
If could smuggle a Taser on board it would really be of help
Most aircraft board from the rear to the front in rows of 10 at a time. But there is always someone who misses their call.
I always get pissed off with the way people stand around I'm always tempted to yell "SIT THE FUCK DOWN YOU RETARDED MORON!" because people stand there playing with their luggage and seem totally unprepared for the fact that they have to sit down like they expect to be able to stand around in their little gossip groups the whole flight.
As for people who are late I think if your not there an hour before the flight too bad.
Why should I be forced to deal with someone else's crap its a huge waste of my time and money to deal with spam why should I have to deal with it if someone has something to say by all means let them publish it on their own website.
There is a HUGE difference between spam and Personal communication.
If I say something online that someone disagrees with I have no problem with them emailing me and telling me so in fact as a strong supporter of freedom of speech I'm more then happy that they were able to reach me (even if they abuse me). They personally wrote the email to me and I have as much right to reply but if they send me dozens of emails then that becomes harassment and when they write an email and send it to me along with thousands of other people that is SPAM and it damages my communications channel (in this case email)
I get the feeling that your not a heavy email user if you have no problem changing email addresses but my email is in dozens of different address books and directories and it is not easily changed! Would you like to change your Phone number & Postal Address? To me it would be easier to change postal address and full name than it is to change email only to still have the SAME problem.
Its pretty obvious what is and isn't spam. I know it, you know it.
I don't normally like to make assumptions here but are you into email marketing perchance? Because I cant think why else you would be trying to defend spammers.
It is true that the recipient know what is and isnt spam I have about 20,000 emails Id like to present to a court.
While Italian law is certainly different and this may be a valid argument in Italian court, the hurdle here is twofold. First, prove that Wikipedia is itself at fault for the contents. Given the open source documentation license they use, I am not sure they could prove that. Second, they would need to get someone who is legally able to represent Wikipedia into Italian court.
For this to work, I believe they would need to convince a U.S. Federal court to extradite people to Italy, and given the merits of this case, I doubt that would happen.
At the end of the day Wikipedia can safely ignore any ruling by an Italian court so long as they are not in Italy.
Not paying after a court order is an offence in every single country that exists. And yes, this is supposing the amount is big enough (I believe there's a 5000 euro or so minimum until these accords can be called into action). If an italian court awards 1 million in damages, wikipedia is screwed. I Australia you can get away with it because its not enforced.
I know a case where an Armed Robber was ordered to pay back the money he took and do community service. He did neither and it was upto his victims to file a civil suit to make him comply! The civil suit was never filed because people have more important things to do then goto court.
So in Western Australia you can ignore the supreme court to some extent.
In conventional warfare, certain actions such as hiding among civilian populations are forbidden. These actions are considered war crimes because of the collateral damage they are likely to cause. What actions in cyberspace do you think should be outlawed? How about intentionally bringing down hospital IT systems, or destroying undersea cables without regard to the effects on civilian populations? I think the military should fuck off and leave the Internet alone.
This whole CyberWarfare crap is just a Government excuse to fuck with the Internet, Honestly how do they think up this stuff?

I dont Understand this RIAA Crap. The other day i was watching the Movie JUNO. A character in the movie burns a CD containing some songs for Juno. Now is that not illegal according to RIAA? Why not raise a voice against that rather than draggin their ass behind innocent students??
Honestly speaking RIAA and MPAA are not loosing anything near what they claim. They are if each song download costs them $750 as they have once claimed.
If they're supposed to prevent copyright infringement which is a civil matter, why not require them to prevent all kinds of other things like underage drinking, and hold them accountable for things like murder that have been happening lately? Because you can't sue the murderer
How would piracy be defined? So because I have torrent downloading or a P2P network client transferring data I'm now a pirate? Does the RIAA like what your doing?
But they're doing it to PROTECT people. Everyone ELSE is doing it to OPPRESS people. HUGE difference. Protection and Oppression are the same thing when it comes to censorship.
Censorship protects the government from is number 1 enemy "Free speech".
A democratic society - indeed, any free society - needs an anonymous communication channel with no accountability of what you say. If that is also useful for criminals, then that is simply the price you have to pay. The alternative is freedom of speech a la Soviet Russia: you are free to pee on Lenin's statue while shouting "down with communism", but you'll be sent to a Siberian labor camp for it.
Freedom of speech is the most important thing we have in democracy and Privacy/Anonymity upholds it.
We are already on the path to becoming the next China or North Korea lets not go down without a fight people like the RIAA need to be recognised for what they really are people who would put profit before freedom.
We are already working on a second "Internet" its called "Freenet" and it aims to eliminate many of the current problems with the Internet such as censorship and accountability.
Why is accountability for your own actions ever a problem?
