I thought the Lisbon treaty gave the EU Parliament the ability to veto things like ACTA (and they've been expressing increasingly critical viewpoints about ACTA)?
So all of a sudden ASCAP owns 60 senators and 50%+1 representatives? I know they lobby, but I didn't think they lobbied that much... Or are you suggesting another 1976 copyright act fiasco (in which a person authorized to spellcheck the law (and nothing else) added the "audio recordings are works for hire [and belong to the record labels]" language to the act behind everyone's backs, and was then hired as a high-payed lobbyist by the RIAA)?
It's just a label. If all the other rights go with it (except, thanks to DOMA, the federal benefits), what does it matter what you call it (the federal benefits aren't relevant since they can't be obtained except by a man and a woman)?
An address? On a petition? So if the opposite petition (supporting gay marriage/equal rights/general tolerance) is reviewed by the KKK they know where to burn the crosses?
... or $50 to spend 5 minutes clicking "next" buttons.
That's only $50 dollars an hour, you insensitive clod! Here's the breakdown: 5 minutes of clicking next buttons 55 minutes of WoW (or Minesweeper, Tetris, Facebook, Slashdot, what-have-you).
Acting as a surrogate parent is never the state's business. Even if a child loses his/her real parents, the state's only responsibility is to find foster parents.
Amarok, Rhythmbox, and Firefox all seem to be coming along nicely (but you know they'll replace Firefox with Epiphany and Rhythmbox with something else sooner or later). The problem is very obvious: Gnome is suffering from creeping elegance, and noone will admit it.
Although I haven't been using Gmail for as long as you probably have, I got "false" positives on college email (when you're a H.S. student, you get a lot of crap from colleges). I personally was of the opinion that some of that email might be from a future school and that it would probably be best to save all of it (sometimes colleges put important things (e.g. (prospective) student ID numbers) in email or snail mail, once, and assume you received and saved it), though now that I know where I'm going I may reevaluate that decision.
Unless you force everyone to get "Trusted" Computing (which is essentially DRM at the firmware level which is illegal to subvert), streaming == downloading if the user wants it badly enough.
Adobe is an *applications* vendor, which has no bearing on the OS security discussion.
Flash probably has the worst security of anything used as often as it is, with possible exceptions of various stupid things Microsoft has done over the years (e.g. IE6).
Windows in the hands of a knowledgeable admin is just as secure as Linux or OSX in the hands of an equally knowledgeable admin.
That's debatable, but I'm not going to debate it.
The Windows admin will be going to enormous effort to make everything "just work" without logging in as the NT equivalent of root, while the Linux admin won't have to worry about that at all since any reasonably young distro locks root login by default. Why go to all that effort?

And the way they poke them with the soft cushions!
What about a poin-ted stick?

I've heard perfectly intelligent people say "my internet went out". Obviously they are referring to the router/modem/whatnot.
Just because Obama's advisors say some bullshit doesn't make it true. Miranda still exists.
Which RBL?????????

I think he's talking about eminent domain.

This so obviously merits $50/hour!
In a first world country, that's called assault and battery. We don't tolerate it (oops, there we go on "tolerance" again).
This is in China. The DMCA is irrelevant. Parent is talking about morals, not laws. And ACTA hasn't passed yet so it doesn't apply.
Well said sir!

They did to have the case moved to federal court, when the judge declined their request they walked out.
[citation needed], and yes I did Google it, this is all I found, which doesn't support what you said
Get *YOUR* facts straight.
GP's statement was reasonable considering the wording of the summary ("Spamhaus didn't bloody care")
As an RBL operator I have been following the case closely since it inception, I think I know what happened as I have read all the documents!
I'm sure that you, a random AC, just happen to be the operator of some yet-unnamed RBL.
OP simply states "you have to protect everything" -- they never give a reason.
Of course it won't work, because it assumes it is sufficient to protect the playkey. It isn't[...]
Why not?
RTFS. Existing lasers can already blind. This one is special because it can make things burst into flames.

That's assuming they've actually got the chops for it and don't have complete contempt for developers.
Apple does hate Flash...
