If the Republican leadership thought that this was important, they would have brought it forward in the remaing days of the session.
The redistricting attempt by the Republicans was an attempt to redraw the lines set by a Court a couple of years ago, because the Republicans and Democrats couldn't agree.
Why is it ok for the Republicans to do it, if they think that it wasn't ok for the Democrats to do it? </Flame off>
If you want positive legislation in this area, the best hope is a compulsory license, which would charge all users of the Net a small, mandatory fee. In exchange for this, it would become totally legal to distribute and use any audio and video content on the Net.
So what you're saying is that deaf/blind users have to pay this?
You might want to look at the Jan. issued of Dr. Dobbs, Automated Defect Identification by by Kevin Smith They are probably counting lint or other types of compiler warnings.
I thought one of the contingencies of hiring an H1B worker is that the employer has to prove that they cannot find a worker of equal skill in the US job market. <sarcasm>You expect that what ever government entity that determines this, to be better than the patent office is at finding prior art?</sarcasm>
What will happen is that MS will figure out if a program was compiled using their.NET or mono. When a user tries to run a mono version on Windows, a dialog will appear saying that this program may not run correctly under Windows. MS will also figure out how to make Windows versions of.NET programs run poorly or not at all under non-Windows OS's. They did the former with DR-DOS and the latter with Java.
That's the interesting part. He instructed the jury that simply making a product that could be used for copyright violation wasn't enough, the company had to intend for it to be used for copyright violation.
Substitute the commission of a felony with copyright violation and gun (or pencil or whatever) for product and they really had no choice. It really turns on what you mean by "intend".
Democrats might defend you social freedoms better, but it will cost you most of financial freedom to do so. And just where did the Bush tax cut come from? The Clinton surplus that Bush turned into a deficit? BTW, unless you're rich, it wasn't much of a tax cut.
Flamebait aside, I agree with you on the Libertarians, It's just that people won't vote for them because they have no power and they have no power because people don't vote for them.
If you can't tell the difference between a Republican and a Democrat, you're only listening to what they say and not looking at what they're doing. Do you really think that Gore would have created this big-brother organization that Cheney and Rove are creating?
That is, do we know how many blind Web users there are in the world?
And how many would it take to make you do your web apps so that a special needs person could use them? Is 10 sufficient, 100?, 1000?, 10000?....n? And just what will you tell the n - 1 user?
This is not featureset prioritization, it's education on your part.
1) Your analog cable connection will be phased out. 2) You will be required to have digital cable (if you want cable that is), with a set top box that they provide. 3) They will track your viewing habits. 4) They learn that you change channels during commercials 5) They disable the channel changer before commercials are shown.

It used to be called freedom of the press. The politicians have finally learned how to control what gets reported.

Why?
And when they come for you, how will we know?
I for one am glad that the US is taking care of Hussein now
If you feel this way, why are you letting other people do your dirty work?

I bought a Compaq Presario laptop just over 2 1/2 years ago with an AMD chip.
I've been a DOS user for 20 years now. I though you said 640K of RAM was all anyone would ever need. You mean I can get more?
Maybe as part of whatever the requirements are for getting a Systems Admin license?
Maybe as part of suspending your Systems Admin license if you fail?
All of the above are good things.

What will Mrs. Teacher do when she drops back to a command line?
Probably the same thing she does when she sees the BSOD.
Wait a minute... that must mean that Windows isn't ready yet either.
Just what problem is this trying to solve?
Why can't my computer be trusted?
Is this trying to fix a fundamental flaw in operating systems?
The only significant computer purchases made these days by businesses and consumers alike contain the words "Dell", "Intel", and "Microsoft".

You mean like this Framing our country's fight against terrorism? It's all about the presentation of information, not the content. We're sheep, we don't want to think.

And if they were, what sort of compensation did the original contestants get? This is why a lot of people didn't enter that contest.
Which one? Unless you get specific, they won't change.

I kid you not.
to have the same last name of an accounting firm that has been convicted of a felony?
Can I sue? That name has been in my family for a lot longer than that company has been in existence.
But as any lawyer will point out, these aren't answers, but opinions. Learn the difference.
