Child porn would be more a prevention of crime thing, the rulings state that child porn can be illegal because its trafficking in a separate crime; child molestation and abuse.
They had singles 10 years ago at least, though I never saw many. Expensive too, 5 dollars a song by my memory. Of course, CDs were a lot more too.
Department stores are less enthusiastic about try it before you buy it. The small businesses usually have machines for it, but I've not seen one that both works and can hold more than 10 CDs at once since Blockbuster Music went away.
Arguing against the expert witnesses testimony is hardly changing the basis of the case. Nor is it possible to criticize the testimony without hearing it first.
Also, what jury? That strategy was tried, and while eventually successful, was not so because of the jury. I doubt there will be another jury requested.
More recently maybe, back then not so much. There was no copyright on recordings, only the songs themselves, the only way to make money in big numbers off recordings was to be the middle man or the songwriter. Musicians that got rich did it with concert tickets.
Didn't they already outlaw violent sexual content in the UK? The law I saw was nebulous enough that Hitchcock gets banned just as quickly as BDSM porn.
About half the stuff in the european one is allowed or partly allowed in the US.
National security is not a valid reason for restriction, you can be punished for leaking secret information to the press, but they don't have the ability to stop the press from publishing (or we'd still be in the dark about the wiretaps, and yes, according to the journalists who broke the story, the white house knew they had the info, and asked them not to go public).
Prevention of disorder or crime... I guess the US has that, can't tell people to commit crimes, or incite a riot. You can't restrict information on how to hotwire cars here (or at least they don't, have a guide somewhere).
for the protection of health or morals... what kind of speech damages health, magnetic water type things or something else? Morals we have really nebulous obscenity laws (and case laws), but given that even Utah was forced to allow porn and we don't have hate-speech laws I'd say its not too restrictive there.
maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary - this one confuzzles me. What kind of speech is a risk to this? Contempt of court type behavior? penalties for pointing out the mockery our legal system was made into get overturned on appeals here, not sure how often though.
The handful of conversations I've had with programmers/students in India there are intentionally sub-par, meant to turn out the kind of coders people want for outsourcing. You learn Java,.NET or maybe Visual Basic, and learn how to program something designed entirely by someone else. Very little in the way of algorithms, no design work.
Of course, there are plenty of places just as bad in the US.
I wonder if they are paying Microsoft and Yahoo something to keep the hounds at bay.
Not nearly bizzare enough to be true. Now, MS paying Fairpoint to do this under the table, so that FP can throw the resulting legal battle and create good precedent in MS's favor, that I'd buy.
Personally I want one because I can stuff them into my purse. A touchscreen is a big plus since the small keyboards and especially the mousepads are harder to use for me (a notebook in general thing). Price is more something to make it affordable than a feature, a bit higher isn't a dealbreaker.

Just thought putting the relevant parts side by side would be interesting... the Europeans are a lot wordier.
How many of their customers are in areas with only one non dialup provider?
I doubt this will last though, Fairpoint isn't big enough to stand up against MSFT's legal department, and the Tier 1 contract probably requires them to be a neutral provider.
Rental is a better option for the various companies boxes. But what if you don't want their DVR?
Comcast's, DVR (hell, the whole set top interface) sucks horribly compared to other equipment I've used. The interface and show recording is so bad that I'd rather put the effort into programming one myself (including learning to program) than use theirs again. If I were forced to go back to them I'd want third party gear.
I'm in a similar boat right now with a DSL owned router that I have to pay for monthly, and which barely works, even though my wireless router supports PPPoA just fine.
A) If I'm looking for obscure music, why would I go looking in Warner's catalog? With one exception, none pf my obscure music is owned by a large label, and frankly, fiinding the piece that was took a long time.
B) How much of Warner's Catalog is even available? The average is less than 4%.
In my experience Pandora pushes me closer to the mainstream. It does have very obscure music on it, but as I make choices about what I do and don't like from a starting point, I always seem to end up listening to Pat Benetar or The Beatles. Which I like, but I already know I like them. I grew up listening to them.
Windows 7 can be the greatest piece of software ever written. People will still want XP because they have a program that was never updated for the new OS.
Hell, I know an office that needs windows 98, because their inventory uses a proprietary format, and the company who made it isn't around to make an XP or Vista compatible version.

The gag papers were already tossed out I thought?

If a roulette table gives the same result with the same initial conditions you have a problem.

Ah... trust is being used in two different ways here. I was thinking more like the American people trust Diebold machines.
