I wonder what would happen if the US passed a law that made it illegal for a company to accede to the demand of a foreign government to deprive US citizens of access to data stored in a server on US soil...
Here's a thought - why not start with a law that applies to your own government?
Even for-profit companies engage in activities not directly related to profit, whether contributing to charities (eg. sponsoring events, matching employee contributions etc), supporting the local communitiy and so forth.
These are one step removed from profit; they are means by which awareness of the company may be increased ("local company xzy gratiously donated £5000 of its own money to charity abc yesterday; we could help and felt we should, a spokesperson from xyz said, followed by a link to their corporate website") and associated with a warm fuzzy feeling... leading to increased profits.
(*) but in the US someone might (TM) plant drugs in your house at the same time they're invading it whilst investigating your commitment of an act which is their right under the constitution.
In other news, the PR-contact for the North American Bug COalition said that they'd be locating outside the metropolitan area as the air in Chicago isn't conducive to health.
I guess it's more difficult to profit long-term from rehabilitation.
What kind of business model would it be for those organizations running prisons if they start creating less demand for their services? No, what they need to do it increase demand or at least arrange circumstances such that there's an increasingly slippery slope leading towards uptake of their services.

Nowadays, people just type their own emails and pick up the phone next to them?
So, does this development mean that there'll soon be enzyme hookers?

Like email?
Should I be able to tell whether this is irony?
But but but I demand my right to take away your rights.
*In* what way :S
Same question to you... "Any what way?"
Nothing any of the ordinary people do will have any effect; the 'open for comments' is just for show. You live in a corporate police state.
Thereby leading to a bigger future threat and defense budget.
Clearly we need an NSA2 to covertly spy on the NSA to see if they're following the rules.
...closed.
If the roads were full of people meeting to discuss the inevitable widespread recognition of corrupt and unnecessary government, they would be.

Warden squeals: "eeeeyay! just what I've always wanted! Bubba; you be warden now; punish me"
Duh! they(tm) make the rules and break them at the location of your punishment for breaking the rules.
What better way to say "Fuck You from the System!" ?
"Democracy" in action; Awesome =D
Yep - there are enough corrupt politicians as it is - they don't need more competing with them.
Disclaimer: I'm extrapolating from my knowledge of the US.
Can a Ph.D. be bestowed by an individual? :P
Anyone who uses the word 'chops' in that sense, invalidates their position.
Perhaps you should set up an account ironically parodying the parody account?
It's the same in the US*

Duh! You need to be one of the overseas viewers who don't pay anything at all for the service. Greedy Brit :P
When definition proves difficult, often a series of examples allows the definition to be communicated indirectly.
I'll start the ball rolling by responding only with the word 'cheese' as a full explanation of your incorrectness.
