but not as much as if it would have if it stayed in China.
Is there any analysis to support that conclusion? I can't see much in Googles fundamental business that requires a physical corporate presence in China. Neither selling ads to Chinese producers nor displaying them to Chinese consumers really requires more than a network presence.
When they stop censoring, China will block them. It's really that simple.
The GPL has an anti-DRM provision which basically says "If you use GPL'd code for DRM, the DMCA doesn't apply to it." In other words, if DRM is developed under the GPL, said DRM may be legally worked around or bypassed.
IANAL. I have no idea if that particular provision actually has any legal force (and if it doesn't then the last sentence of the last paragraph is wrong).
"tiene" is completely the wrong tense (should be infinitive "tener"). You probably wouldn't say "yo" because it's redundant to "puedo". Unfortunately, the order of the words makes sense if you add "?" to it.
P.S.: <rant>curse you stupid slashdot for not supporting unicode and some types of HTML encoding including in this case "¿"! This isn't very difficult!</rant>
P.S.: see e.g. tagged for an example of such security issues (they take your contacts and spam them without your consent (or at least in a very sketchy way anyway)).
A lot of "social networking" websites ask for your password to your email so they can import your contacts. If the browser could (semi-)automagically give it that info, you'd close a huge security gap...
Usually the jury does what the judge tells them to... The fact that this case wasn't dismissed on summary judgment is quite telling (only the judge can make such a dismissal). Most likely the judge said something like "If [condition] then Ryobi is liable" and the jury said "since [condition] is true, Ryobi is liable". The question, then, is what precisely "[condition]" was.
I saw a slow motion video of the thing in operation (they used a hot-dog to trick it). It looked like the brake took serious damage when the safety mechanism engaged, but the saw did stop very quickly (the saw also appeared to warp and buckle, but it seemed to end up in the same shape it started in).
Not to mention wildly inaccurate... IP people are closer to the clowns running Brave New World than anything else; they're not socialists but totalitarian capitalists (i.e. fascists, aka "corporate bastards").
It's social engineering (a la phising, but assumes that the reader is competent (knows how to use the system) but dumb (can't tell a good idea from a bad idea)).
I completely agree with you. Unfortunately, on the internet in general and/. in particular, you have to expect a certain amount of republican bashing. It's been inevitable ever since Bush Jr. (not really Jr. but let's pretend) was in office, really. It's not right and it's not fair, but neither is it surprising.
There is the sunk cost of the time you spent/wasted earning progress, OTOH sunk costs are usually irrelevant in the later stages, OTOH people are irrational.

What happens if/when China decides to hold employees hostage ("reeducation through labor" as punishment for "disrupting a harmonious society") anyway?

I believe he's using the conventional definition of freedom. I don't know what definition you're using...

As evidenced by Facebook, Joe Sixpack doesn't give a damn about privacy.
IANAL.

What about the self-parallel-parking units?

Whoops, I meant to say 17 is the least random number.

This levy is designed to compensate for private copying, not filesharing, so it covers format shifting but not downloading.
But... format shifting hurts no one!

Wait, what?
No third party has been taken seriously since TR and the Bull Moose Party. He ruined it for everyone.
I have no idea if the standard has accommodation for the archaic AM/PM system of representation.
True UTC has no sense of AM/PM.
What about e^(i pi)+1 day? That would always be today.

So they're going that way again?
