I would really love to be in a board room where they come up with these ideas. If these are the ones that got approved, what ones where shot down on common sense grounds?
How long before this information is used by drug lords for marketing? I wouldn't be surprised if they were interesting in funding further consumer studies.
Its seems like they are doing everything they can but fix the real underlying issues with the education system. If you don't fund it properly, it just ain't going to work.
That (at least in Aus) refers to in store advertising. If a price tag says an amount - then you are legally allowed to purchase items at that price (unless its an obvious mistake - which why price tags have the name and barcode of the items on them in major stores).
This kind of behaviour is on the increase around the world - the Internet is not the bastion of anonymity it once was - and we have mostly western companies to blame.
Probably the fact that they can keep track of the travels of anyone caught in these cameras - which could be misused to blackmail etc. I can see the benefit of this - but there needs to be controls on it so that they are deleted from the system after a while and that access is carefully monitored. Given the government's usual incompetence I can see why the ACLU is not very trusting.
I suspect this was a joke - possibly satire. Or just crazy talk. They say once you go far enough to one end of the political spectrum it becomes indistinguishable from satire.
It's about time - but attacking the patents one by one is not a real long term solution, changes to legislation is the only thing that can fix the problem of frivolous patents.

Why would you? Its like playing black and white except you can't pick up the people. You can only do that in Vista ultimate.
evanescent laser? Does it imbue people with emo powers?

To paraphrase a quote: It's morally wrong to allow suckers to keep their Internets.
I did. (Nah I'm just kidding)
Don't feed the trolls, chief.
Don't say crazy things like that!

Is everything that has something to do with the RIAA getting shot down newsworthy on slashdot these days?
So they can actually accomplish something instead of a massive wide-ranging discussion that accomplishes nothing.
Im waiting for them to reach above 100% efficiency before I'll buy

That's Dr C.C. to you - once I modify that generator to write PhDs.

I assume he is looking for some cash before hand.
I think it would have carried more weight if it included other free email providers not just ISPs to compare to.
I think that they help make each other better - different ideas can be explored and good ones are eventually incorporated in all.
Um.. the legislature - e.g. the patriot act
That's a great idea! Why didn't I think of that? Luckily I've still got my patent for a water holding container.
It's Daffodil damnit!
Damn water thieves.. and our water chip is broken!
