International Law will be a joke as long as it includes only a subset of all the nations of the world. If you have just one nation that does not participate, then whatever body that governs has no authority, other than the pure option of participating.
International law, treaties, alliances, and all that have been finite throughout history. As soon as power has shifted in one of the member countries, the hold of treaties and alliances should be considered tenuous at best.
In order for international law to be binding, the requirement of all nations participating is standing, as well as the need for a very large body of enforcement. I don't see either of these in existance. International Law is a joke.

Microsoft is saying that Lindows is urging fraudulent claims against Microsoft with incentives like "a free PC to the first 10,000 who purchase more than $100 of stuff," and discounts on Lindows software. I, myself, think that Lindows is being shady, but not illegal. There is a definite exchange of goods, one is the money gained from Microsoft, the other is the Lindows product.
The website put up by Lindows has to be acting on good faith that the claims against Microsoft are valid. If the consumers are submitting fraudulent claims, something which may be happening regardless of Lindows, then there is a problem. The present issue is "who's problem is it?" I think that Lindows should do some type of verification on all claims that it processes, making sure that they are all valid. It may cost a bit of money to do so, but I still think that Lindows will come out on top.
Another thing that Lindows could do is to post a warning about the penalties of committing fraud.
WildTangent is the producer of all of those crappy winamp plugins that have a babe dancing in various clothing. I remember feeling the oats one day, downloading them, and watching them hose things up in a big way.
I think I'll just stick with the safer things like Solitaire and... Minesweeper.
I meant it in the sense that there hadn't been so much outright sex in the White House since JFK, and even his supposed "encounters" were a rumor, and are very doubtful. JFK was on his last legs, and probably had issues with rising to the occasion.
You don't wait till you have a virus before you install anti-virus software.
You don't wait till people start rooting your machine before you apply the OpenSSH patch.
You also don't wait until your first heart attack before you start eating healthily and exercising, you don't wait until you have AIDS before you decide to proceed with caution, and you certainly don't wait until cars start going before you start to cross the street.
Prevention is the best protection. There wasn't a doubt that WMD existed, or that there was a program. There wasn't any doubt that the U.S. had a unanimous decision to bomb the shit out of the country.
I might not be happy with how he's handling the situation at the moment, I don't think he really planned this far in advance, but at least he's the one that had the balls to finally finish that f*cker Saddam off.
The judge's responsibility and representation is that of the law, not the people. A judge might feel bad about making this sort of judgement, I'm sure he probably does, but that doesn't change the letter of the law one bit. A judge does not have the luxury of representing the people.
If the judge did represent the people, I imagine that all defense arguments would cease to be centered on facts and refutation, becoming more "Buddy-buddy" than they already are. Instead of Cochrane going "If there's a Wookie on Endor, you must acquit," Cochrane would be saying "He's freaking O.J. Simpson! People love this guy, he has so much charisma on channel 5! How can you let him down like this?"
I'm glad that there are judges out there that will make a ruling, even though they know that it goes against their very nature deep down inside. Sometimes the law is not flexible, and those judges that apply the law are to be admired.
It doesn't make too much sense that a copyright act would cover something like breaking and entering. That's why I wasn't too sure. I know that the DMCA makes it illegal to circumvent copyright protections that have been put into place, but maybe just everything on a machine is public domain. It would be just as protected, but no actual copyright, which would make the DMCA invalid.
Well, you could always base the worth of the vote by the success of the system. If this were the case, the so-called "Progressive" government of California would have the most worthless vote. Then again, you could also base the worth of the electoral votes on average IQ, which would make California tie for last with Nevada or New Mexico, probably.
Sorry, but California's great weather does not make up for it's complete failure. There are far too many non-Californians that could care less if California sank into the ocean.:-P
I doubt that it would have the effect that you want. The best thing to do is write your Representatives, Senators, and President about these issues. Removal of a judge can occur at that level, but not at the district court level.
All that you'd be promoting is one really pissed off court receptionist.
Doing a match against a flat file of phone numbers would not be that difficult. I wouldn't even begin to complain about having to spend time coming into compliance with some Gov't regulation.
I work in the Healthcare industry. As it stands, I have to spend about a week and a half rewriting a program to be specifically in compliance with HIPAA. That's about 72 pages of pure, boring, unadulturated BS. Surprisingly, I have all of this work to do, and I'm in a pretty secure position. I doubt that I'm going to loose this job, as long as I need to make something compliant.
I would say that out of the 100+ million referenced, you are wrong.
It is vital that we don't use the popular vote system, because then the rights of the tiny states get squashed by the wants of the populated states. More regulation and government is something that we really don't need, and a popular vote system makes it possible to degrade the effectiveness of the state legislatures in favor of a federal arena.
The electoral college is a wonderful way of solving the problem. Of course, I'd change the way of figuring number of votes a bit... Make CA have less votes.
Wasn't there some kind of law passed that made it illegal to crack a computer over a network? Isn't this considered a bad thing, if an unwanted individual had access to your electronic valuables?
Well, since I bought my phone, and I pay for my phone line, I've decided to start calling my phone a "computer" as a pet name. Therefore, any unwanted individual that calls me is accessing my equipment (as it is on a network) without me giving permission. Wouldn't telemarketing be colored as illegal in this case?
I know that it's a bit of a stretch, but I'm beginning to see less of a difference between voice communication and data communication, especially since that phone gets interfaced with one of the best analog computers in the world (my brain.:-P).
They'd start reporting bad blocks and corruption if you told them to do that. I'd rather just tell them to fuck themselves. I'm sure the reaction would be more amusing, and less of what we knew already.
I never really looked at the numbers associated with the DNC list. It seems like more Americans participated in this than they did in the last presidential election.

Take a minute and look at the platform that the applications were compiled for. Only the OS was compiled for the 64 Bit chips, and even that was a pre-beta. Most modern apps released allow for updates that include specifically compiled code (ala Windows, as much as I hate to say it). Once this is taken advantage of, then you can be sure that you have a larger performance delta.
The other thing that comes to mind is that these chips are brand new, and are not running at the speed for which they were planned. Adding 2 stages to the pipeline should allow AMD to jack up the Mhz level, yet they are releasing something that is just a little past the matured silicon of the Athlon XP. I would expect these numbers to rise once production takes off, and the batches have higher yields.

Jimmy Carter was Richard Simmons.
I would use ghostscript to convert it into an image format, then run an OCR program on it. That ought to work.
Another way is to use Acrobat 4.

For "Out of Area" and "Unavailable" calls, just use the mighty *click* *click* method. Gets 'em every time.
