This is nothing new!!! Your article is about the right to "Anonymity" from police questioning. Here we are talking about the fact that you don't have the right not to be photographed in public. How long have TV crews being doing live shots with people in the background? They don't need concent from those people because the lack of privacy rights in public. It's not new.
Are you alowed to take pictures in public in your country? We are here, I guess thats what makes us sick. BTW we are the absolute leader of the world.
Your Rights Online? What a joke.

What rights are in question? People do NOT have a right of privacy in public. This is nothing new. This is NOT 1984! 1984 is government cameras in your home. This shrill scream of "1984" all time just weakens it's real meaning.
ATT would not unlock my T68 one year after my contract was up. Two years after I signed. So I went ahead and flashed my phone and unlocked it. Not something the average person is going to do. A class action lawsuit is in the works, you can read about it: here at C|Net
It is too bad that the CSR did not check your number first. I'm glad that it worked out but I've heard horror stories of people trying to leave say ATT for T-Mobile that do live in the Top 100 and denying it saying they do not live in the Top 100, while at the same time letting a Verizon person join ATT from the same town!
Get your facts right. If Michael Powell didn't want LNP go happen it would not have happened. If Michael Powell didn't want you to take your landline to a cell it would not have happened.
We could have kept waiting as we did through so many of the Clinton years if Michael Powell didn't do something because he knows that it is good for the people and the telecoms in the long run.
I've been waiting a few days for ATT to release my number to T-Mobile. I don't mind the wait, a week is not a big deal so put away the worlds smallest violin, I'm just enjoying my new SE Z600.
What is bothersome though is that even if a week is not bad, many can do it it hours and sometimes minutes. If a Verizon to T-Mobile port can be done in a day, the ATT to T-Mobile should not take much longer. I hope the FCC does fine them. If ATT is using this as a stall tactic they are nuts as people who might not think about LNP might read about this in the newspaper and figure, "Wow, ATT is bad, maybe I should change."
Progress indeed! Actually if you cared to look deeply enough you'd realize that in the scope of human rights cleaning the dried blood of the torture tools before using them on the next guy is not much progress.

But I have the felling that you are one of those leftist that as long as some one says they feel for or they are trying to do their gosh darn best to stop hurting people, you belive them because you value emotions over facts. Or rather fiction over reality.
With the U.N. in charge they will put China or Saudi Arabia in charge of "Internet Freedoms of Expression" much like Lyba and others have headed up the "Human Rights" group.
Well first off it is unconstitutional, so no law could make it happen. You'd need an amendment. Second, is isn't it better to take the person who is best, rather than the person who meets your man/woman quota. Third, what will this solve. This would be a huge change. Why is their a need for it?
Oh you mean you the smaller house with a smaller population sample, which means less diversity! Come on. Government does not to to equally represent the entire country. It was white people who voted for civil rights. People who are good will do the right thing. We don't need to make them fit a label.
The idea of 50/50 is crazy. How about insted we let the people choose the best for the job?
Their is no corollary. Germany did not suffer a terrorist attack. Germany had a bad economy and need a scapegoat, so they blamed the Jews. They wanted land, so they took Austria and Poland.
Bush can veto or pass only what congress generates. Congress can over-ride his veto. GWB does not control the media, may he has power at FOX but most others hate him.
The Democrats WON on those judges, what is your point.
By voting for someone else. If you think only rich white males are in congress, please turn on C-SPAN and educate yourself.
You make good points and I understand them. It is nice to see that other integent people comment.
I can only say that I could totally agree with everything you said, but I don't mind giving up some rights pertaining to criminal investigation (screw Ben Franklin's quote). If in 5 years no progress has been made, I'll be mad but now I want action.
HA. Keep telling yourself that about GWB, maybe it will then be true. We are a republic and congress makes the F'ing laws, if you vote them out of office it has a big influence.

Well the answer to your question in the United States is "No" and it's nothing new.

People "Read" more now, for education and entertainment. The delivery form is just not a book, but a computer or even a TV (those damn scrolls).
And another thing... It's hard to find good new books at book stores. When you walk in it's nothing but diet and chicken soup crap.
Bring an inanimate carbon rod. You never know when you could use one.
WTF are you talking about you AC?

The problem with Chinese space launches is that 30 minutes later, you want to send a guy up again.

Nice copout pussy.

What to the left wing president do? Nothing.
Bush can veto or pass only what congress generates. Congress can over-ride his veto.

Who said we live in a free country? We don't. America is run by Democrats and Republicans, not Libertarians.
You're so naive I bet you belive you have the freedom to say what you want, when you want.
You make good points and I understand them. It is nice to see that other integent people comment.
I can only say that I could totally agree with everything you said, but I don't mind giving up some rights pertaining to criminal investigation (screw Ben Franklin's quote). If in 5 years no progress has been made, I'll be mad but now I want action.
If you don't mind what country are you from? And why did you assume I'm an American?
I don't want to think for you. But don't speak out of your head and ass at the same time please.
HA. Keep telling yourself that about GWB, maybe it will then be true. We are a republic and congress makes the F'ing laws, if you vote them out of office it has a big influence.
Who said they are terrorist. RTFA.
