Not nothing, but as little as possible. And given the amount of information that is kept secret at present you fall victim in your rhetorical question to the same fallacy as you accuse the GP of.
i know. and wally is intending to put in a bunch of bugs so he can fix them and make bank. of course it doesn't fit your desired narrative. apparently only companies are allowed to be unethical.
too bad that the "for limited Times to Authors and Inventors" part has fallen out of favor. personally i don't believe in the ancient Egyptian notion that i can take it with me when i die, whether it's for 50 years or 70 or until my pyramid gets robbed. And i don't think a fair reading of the constitution supports copyright after death of the author.
The Berne Convention Act of 1988 makes some basic changes in the copyright law to comply with the Berne Convention. The mandatory requirement of a visible copyright notice is eliminated for works published after March 1, 1989. As an incentive to provide a copyright notice, however, the courts will not give any weight the claim of innocent infringement to defendants who have access to copies bearing the proper copyright notice when awarding damages. The eliminated mandatory copyright notice causes published works to be placed in three categories for intellectual property practitioners: 1) all works published after March 1, 1989 are excused form copyright notice requirements; 2) the mandatory copyright notice is still in effect for works published after January 1, 1978 but before March 1, 1989; and 3) the placement of the copyright notice for works published before January 1, 1978, is still governed by the Copyright Act of 1909.
sure it's free speech vs export rather than free speech vs copyright, but a lot of what DJB did with respect to submitting all sorts of documents designed to blur the lines between software and speech is relevant to this argument.
Which means that no matter how much this article admonishes us to do so with respect to our own or others' wrongness we won't. At least, not on any scale.
i think the biggest thing people wanted is the thing they can't have: a return to the rule of law on the part of the government.
and a better economy to boot
too bad both leading ideologies share the same policy prescriptions for both.
i think you mistake what the actual mandate given the current administration and batch of legislators was. they did too which is why they'll lose in Nov. Not that the Republicans winning is a good thing because it's a false choice: they'll do essentially the same as the Democrats.
Obama and the Democrats are every bit as much in bed with the wealthy and powerful as Bush and the Republicans are.
i get that there's some cultural tension brewing, but i think there are more important things for the supreme court to rule on than this frivolity. Like allowing innocent people whom our government delivered into torture to sue. *cough* Arar *cough*
sure, and it will do so until all it can go through is satellite. somewhere in there a bottleneck occurs and worsens to the point that service is effectively cut off for practical purposes.
plus, by staying out of the EU and waiting for the ECB to inflate in order to save the PIIGS countries they could conceivably be better able to pay off the debt with their own currency rather than the to-be-devalued Euro.
news flash: so do the "liberals" in power. corruption is not unique to a claimed ideology. sycophants and the power hungry will subvert any gathering of like-minded people.

yeah, i wonder if fallout from people shifting to Iceland servers will result in countries shutting down their transoceanic fibre links in retaliation.
maybe if the military actually prosecuted the criminals in their ranks and repudiated their behavior publicly rather than covering it up, maybe then the remaining, well-intentioned troops would be safer and the populaces of our satraps might have some small reason to believe we're there to help them rather than to subjugate them and take their stuff. and maybe leaks like this provide disincentive for the government to circle the wagons and keep cancerous elements in the ranks.
and before our "reporters" decided to get all cozy with the people they're supposed to be reporting on so we can hold them accountable for their misdeeds.

How is Dragon Lady a racist term? I just thought it was the predecessor of Cougar. Kinda like the term Dandy got replaced by Metrosexual.

i thought the people's referendum rejected paying that debt back. check your facts, it's far better for the icelandic people to default on that debt.

no one listens to that old rag any more. they just use it as a rhetorical bludgeon when not in power.
