    I wonder if the recent case against KaZaaLite has anything to do with the embrace of KaZaa by Bollywood?

  8. Re:India on Bollywood Embraces Kazaa Movie Downloads · · Score: 1

    the difference between India and China is that China gets foreign aid. They don't do it on their own. It is strange that they bstill get foreign aid even though they have a pretty big space program. darn smart of them, i'd say.

  9. Re:Go Judiciary! Wooooo! on Appeals Court Rules Against RIAA in DMCA Subpoena Case · · Score: 1

    not in the context of the state, marriage in the eyes of the state has nothing to do with the bible.
    ever read the constitution? 1st amendment?

    I dont see any problems allowing whatever relationship consenting adults want to have. Not restricting the interactions of concenting adults will certainly not lead to no laws. laws are, or should be, for protection from other in cases where they wish to do some harm, and the illegality of concensual relations between adults has no rational basis.

  10. Re:Go Judiciary! Wooooo! on Appeals Court Rules Against RIAA in DMCA Subpoena Case · · Score: 1

    Gay marriage is between two consenting adults, I see no reason, other than the bible(which cannot be used to justify laws in the US), that it shouldn't happen . On top of this I have never seen an arguement against gay marriage that didn't rely on the fallacy that we have always done it so we should keep on doing it.

  21. EMP? on Bombardier's Hot Wheel · · Score: 1

    I just wonder when mandatory EMP shielding will be the norm on civilian devices. If we have a city full of cars with drive by wire brakes and someone sets off a fair sized EMP bomb, thats thousands if not tens of thousands car accidents in the space of about a minute. Can you say crippled infrastructure. Even natural phenomenon, IE an especially large magnetic storm could play havoc with our current technology. Combine all that with an imminently possible terrorist strike using EMP and it sure isn't a pretty picture.

  22. As a student on Is the Internet Your Source of Knowledge? · · Score: 1

    I've found that very often I can't find any Good information on a given subject using the internet. Strangely enough it seems to be the less obscure subjects i have the most trouble finding info on. On the other side, I still love books. i recently bought a copy of The Prince because i couldn't stand to read the whole thing on the computer screen. Plus it's fun to go to the library. All that info tha isn't sorted by links, thats how i find my most interesting things, on the internet I always seem to end up in the same areas when i look for stuff.
