On the other hand, I think that the victims of bullies often don't fight back because their parents don't have a fucking clue. A little guidance (or physical training) from a father who gives a shit goes an awfully long way.
Regular policework found the bad guy from there. They stalked the suspect, who was nabbed after DNA was found on a meal that the suspect discarded. THAT DNA was the stuff that got him busted.
I would expect that we get some wonderful counterespionage out of Russia itself nowadays.
It seems pretty wasteful for Russia to spend so much money on such an elaborate operation when it could be destroyed by one disaffected Russian official who dreams of a CIA payoff.
I'm afraid that your idea would only work if the incumbents didn't have any coercive power (like police or military). Otherwise they would have the power to intimidate--and they would use it.
I personally hate the initiative process and the term-limits processes. We can elect legislators and can hold them accountable when they break with us. Initiatives are an unnecessary disruption and term limits keep the voters from electing who they choose. I only bring this stuff up because I really like the idea of a secret ballot for voters and complete accountability for legislators. If people take it on themselves to legislate--they should be just as accountable as the legislators who legislate.
The petition process is the first step in the making of laws. Everything about the making of laws, from petition to enforceable law, should be public. Today a minority that claims oppression seeks to use the law to hide its political activity from public view. However, tomorrow it may be a powerful minority--like a financial or military interest that may want to hide its activity from public view. Transparency is best.
If somebody is trying to make a law that infringes upon my freedom, I want to know who they are. This will help me evaluate the law and determine my response to it.
Civ 4 makes me wait a couple seconds for my next move after I hit enter. I'd like to see multiprocessor support and 64 bit support. I hate to wait!
When I played The Operational Art of War (maybe the greatest game ever), I got a new computer and it turbo-ripped through scenarios that the old one was slow on. Civ 4 seems to proceed at its leisurely pace no matter what the computer.
Your post does not accurately state a general principal. Often a person can "participate" in a crime and not be culpable of that crime. It is not right to say that "all that participate in the crime of sharing are culpable." Sometimes, people can be held VICARIOUSLY liable for the acts of others, but only if the legislature explicitly makes it so. The legislatures do not always do that.
Easy examples that come to mind are statutory rape and abortion. The victim of a statutory rape is a non-culpable participant in the rape. The woman seeking the abortion is often not criminally liable for the abortion, but the doctor is.
Our legislatures are entitled to make fine distinctions. That's a good thing. Rigid adherence to general principles leads to injustice.
This is just Chapter One. Google can only win at this stage if you consider all of the facts in Viacom's favor and, given those facts, rule that the law requires that Google must win.
The upcoming appeal to the federal circuit court is the really big next act. If Google wins there, it may portend total victory. Otherwise, it's back to the federal district court for more litigation (and more money for the lawyers!!!).
Form a cooperative association. Create an on-line journal. Hire staff sufficient to cover the costs of administration. Charge dues sufficient to cover the cost of administration. Let publishers competitively bid for the right to print and sell hard copies (if any want to). Elect a board of governors sufficient to ensure that only top quality stuff gets published.
The current situation is parasitical and symbiotic--but it's becoming less symbiotic.
They should take advantage of the technology and displace the parasite.
That's a ridiculously argumentative question based on a false dichotomy.
I don't buy Windows because it's technically the best AND I don't buy it because it has the best marketing team. I buy Windows because it runs Adobe CS5 and Ableton, and because I am familiar with the Windows interface. Doubtless, other people buy Windows for different reasons.
If your false dichotomy truly represented the only two reasons why people purchase Windows, open source systems would have no trouble displacing Windows.

Sorry, but you must hbave a knee to know.

The bully's pain threshold is not likely any higher than yours.
Familial testing gave them the ballpark family.

Burn fossil fuels to keep America fat. Sounds like a lose-lose proposition to me.
Prince is making his money through his touring.
He recognizes that the music industry is a rip, and he can't see how to monetize with the Internet.
Common problem, though some musicians solve it--on a small scale only.
Sounds VERY similar to my Dell experience.
I got DELLED.
I'd mod you up if I had points. That grammar is spectacularly bad.

Anyway, my two cents.

Any ideas on this?

Yup, you're right. But common-law crimes don't exist in most of the United States.

So what? Your elementary school reasoning underwhelms me.
Big wow.
Lamo caught a felon. Who cares if his motives reveal him to be just a lowlife?

Fanboi is a modern synonym for eunuch.
Frank would be using the best stuff in whatever format. He wouldn't be constrained by Linux, or Windows, or Mac, or whatever.
Appropriating Frank's memory to endorse anything is just wrong, man.
It is STEALING. Look in the dictionary. A couple of the definitions fit.
If you want to redefine words to fit your own semantic needs, fine. But you don't need to be so darn pushy about it.
I've got Plissken's surfboard. Believe you me, I'm ready!
You're missing the point entirely!
The point is that any commercial movie you make might infringe the patent because you exceeded the MPEG LA license. That really sucks.
Think politicians!
People will soon be polled with questions that are specifically targeted to THEM!
Voters will become infinitely more manipulable--to the politicians backed by rich people.
Not pretty.
