Sure it's possible. The whole point is the cost, not that it impossible.
Economically it is impossible for the UK to purchase 7 petabytes of storage each week.
and who do you think would end up paying for the required storage and cpu time? i'd bet on the taxpayers
that's true and everyone knows it, however it isn't aimed at "terrorists" but rather those who would oppose the war against "terrorists". similar to telescreens in 1984. they were not to monitor whoever it was that oceania was at war with, but the domestic population who opposed perpetual war abroad and repression at home
you joke.. recently my bank replaced the keypad (not the whole thing just the keypad) on the Drive through ATM with a braille one..
the factories that make the keypads make keypads for many different uses, including ones where it would be reasonable for a blind person to use. a payphone or an atm inside a mall, for instance. instead of making a non-braille model for places where the blind can't use them, they make just the braille one because it's cheaper to manufacture just the one model
just because i don't recognize a band doesn't make it obscure, and that wasn't what i intended in my post. (i do actually know iron maiden, but just overlooked them i guess)

There's a huge loss of freedom if government controls healthcare.
nice straw man argument. there is nothing inherent in a socialised health care system that prohibits a private health care industry from coexisting alongside it
Anyone that close to a politician for instance, who does not know what is going on, is either lying, or has an IQ lower than his shoe size.
and therefore deserves to die for it? i wouldn't say so. ignorance or mental retardedness is no reason to execute someone. merely lying isn't such a good reason either
My point is he is NOT ignorant of what is going on.
yes, i misread your post. my eyeballs went right around `, who'. i still maintain however that someone close to a corrupt official who is too dumb to understand the evil of the actions that the corrupt official asks them to perform does not deserve to be executed. someone that dumb and weak is just as much a victim of the corrupt official as everyone else
how innocent is someone who is immediately attached to a corrupt official?

the Dems seized control of the Congress in 2006 and could have cut off funding - we are still in Iraq
I am so SICK of people pointing to the Democrats in congress and complaining that they alone have not turned things around.
People have to remember that it takes a 2/3 majority to make a bill VETO proof
i am so SICK of democratic legislators flat out lying about this
why would bush veto a funding bill for a war he supports? the issue here is cutting off funding by not passing the bill. the democrats have a simple majority and there do have the power to make sure the bill doesn't pass
yes, i understand that they have different histories, i was just saying that they're similar in spirit. drug patents are a good example of patent protectionism, but now that you've made me think about it, i'm having a difficult time coming up with a similar example for copyright
Seriously, while I appreciate their tenacity, these attempts weren't news the last time either. Please skip the "here they go again" post and just let us know how it went, ok?

Fantastic wikipedia article! Particularly this bit

Your thoughts?
i think that section was added today by the wikipedia user Vrmlguy. there is also a slashdot user vrmlguy taking part in this discussion. i shall instead attach my thoughts to his post here: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=959099&cid=24946229
flamebait? is there some conspiracy theorist moderator out there who thinks that the US and its allies dropping bombs (which explode!) on iraq is some kind of hoax?

Her: It's not about 'cost to society', it's about protecting women. I'm appalled that you would put not being censored ahead of that.
maybe we ought to censor the ads on tv of starving africans so alleviate hunger, or censor footage of car crashs to prevent traffic accidents
Keep in mind this woman will have a doctorate in less than a year. *sigh*

You didn't read the summary. It speaks of your thermostat and such devices.
you didn't read the contiki website. it does indeed speak the commodore 64 and apple][ in addition to being targeted at more modern embedded devices

heracleides?
also try s/(copyright|patent)/tariffs/g
the "intellectual property" policies of well-to-do nations is awfully similar to their tariff policies
thanks for enlightening me as to the protectionist nature of the copyright at patent systems. i never realized it until you worded it the way you did

that's not a bad idea. but what would be the fulcrum?

That is ridiculous. The law does certainly not say that making money is the only thing that matters.
i agree that it's ridiculous. it is however true.
