It would have been nice if the media stressed the promise of non-embrionic stem cells to the public more (there has been some stories), but it is nice to see it now.
I know it is hard to define those communal standards. However, that's why I said "public square." The idea being that you can entertain yourself in private while the communal standards for the public square, whatever they may be, can hold. Airwaves, for whatever historical reason, are considered part of the public square.
You can communicate your ideas and political views without violating the communal standards, even if I disagree with some of those standards at a particular point in time.
Good point. Family Guy started to get traction during Season 3 and then they put it up against Survivor (when it was really big) and Friends. Then, they blame the show and cancel it.
I always wondered what was going on with that move.
You may want to pick countries which have more than nominal notions of property rights. But I understand your overall point though. Where there's a will, there's a way.
How many mayors, governors, Congressmen, CEOs, executives have Blackberries? A lot.
Maybe if they feel the pain of the patent system they will put pressure on to change it.
Granted, nothing may come of it. But change rarely happens without convincing people of a need for change.
How many times have you gotten your server/whatever by on a limited budget. What's the best way to get the appropriate amount of resources without requiring unnecessary heroics? Let something break so people see the need.

Java Is So 90s

Reporters always make something out to be the end of the world or something drastic.
Gets eyeballs on stories. It's either Java dominates everything or Java does nothing. While the truth lies somewhere between those two extremes. But the truth in these type of stories makes for horrible reporting.
You'll also find that stories follow the following pattern: X is doing great, X stumbles/fails, X returns to glory...or X is still around even though we wrote it off.
Next year they'll have an article about how Java is still being used all over the place.
Java can co-exist with other technologies. I programmed in Java. I program currently in.NET. Whatever. I don't need to relearn logic everytime the technology changes, so just tell me what language we are using.
When I took a sofware project managment course in grad school, there was a stat that only 1 in 6 software projects are successful (on time, budget, etc.)
Lots of software projects have problems. So finding one project with bugs or bloat in the open-source world, proves what exactly? That there is more than one way not to be perfect.
Each path has pro's and con's. And a model is not a substitute for leadership, planning, and good contributors.
If we were able to find inconsistencies in his story, that would mean we would be able to detect design. Good thing for him that's not within the realm of science.
I am not for illegal music downloading or for violating copyrights, etc.
However, jail time? That, to me at least, implies that society has been harmed in some measurable and somewhat significant way. Music lyrics? Is this after multiple warning to cease and desist?
Are they profiting off of this?
Obviously, I'm thinking outload here. But the main point is that jailing people is not something we should be deciding willy-nilly based on people from an industry that feels threatened.
It's one thing for them to want the state to help them in regards to illegal activity that affects their business. This is quite another.
Yes, the Knights of the Templar hatched a plot with Emperor Constantine and put the clues to their scheme in a microchip. They've been waiting a while for the technology to be available.
While the ultimate goal was to get to a government based on willing sharing of property, that's why communism was a bad idea. You can't get to willful sharing without first suppressing people and forcing them to share.

Well, that's good news. No ethical dilemma.

There is a difference between intentionally upsetting someone and saying what you just said. You still conveyed the idea.

Free speech in the 1st amendment was more geared towards protecting political speech and ideas, not about letting raunch in the public square.
So how does that square with campaign finance reform? Not well. But those regulations will be coming to blogs in the future.

Seems like that will benefit the most people in the long-run.

That can backfire, but it is still the best way.
That works both ways.

Cable companies have to pay for channels like ESPN on a per user basis I believe. They also had to cut deals with local TV affiliates.
They have to pay more for ESPN than Hallmark channel, etc.
Not very good. My roommate thought it deserved a danger post-it note.
It's not quite that straightforward.
Do you have missed calls? Was the phone moving but not near the scene of the crime? If you talked to people on the phone, would they vouche for it.
That info could also clear you of a crime.
So using aforementioned reasoning, that proves that giving contracts to companies doesn't work.

That's worse than "farting".
Until he wrote a USA Today article giving it life. Just edit it quietly.
One of life's paradoxes...
I apologize for excessive sarcasm.
The Canadian Supreme Court ruled that people in Quebec could get private insurance because people were dying on the waiting list.
I would assume that being able to zip down to the United States is a nice escape valve for the Canadian system.
