The idea is, or at least was supposed to be, in exchange for limiting the liability of a large number of stock holders that do not directly control the corporation, that corporation agrees to a number of conditions. Those conditions should be judiciously set so that the privilege of limited liability is offset by restrictions, which may include free speech, right of free association, privacy, and so on. If the owners don't want to forgo those rights then they just operate as a fully liable partnership.
I know it's not a "modern" smart phone, but the Treo650 can be had for $100 new on Ebay. Quad band GSM, web, email, ebooks, music, calender and it backs up to my linux pc.
Come on, this is Slashdot. The first thing we should discuss is how to detect these things. I don't think there are supposed to be all that many transmitters in a car. The cops may hide the device but I bet someone here knows how to detect their signal. After the device is detected we need to know how to hack it so we can set home and send the FBI all over the map. When we get lots of them hacked we will arrange phantom meetups in the Navel Observatory and such. And at the end of the day, they must be made to run linux. Lets get nerding people.
The greatest loss is in the propeller to water/ship. There is a huge amount of slip in that coupling. IANANavelEngineer, but I wouldn't give that part of the energy transfer better the 20%. Please correct me if I am too far off.
For back of the napkin calculations, as an engineer, I call it a toss up. That means it is worthy of study so see which is actually best. Sometimes the best isn't the cheapest, and cash flow is often important.
How about giant plastic bladders towed behind a tug boat. Fresh is less dense then salt water so as long as you didn't need to accelerate too fast (momentum) you could move a tremendous amount.
I suggest that personal information become a new IP. Who you are when and where you are with whomever doing whatever should be property of the individual. Other people may have that same IP, but they may not store it, aggregate it, track or sell it. The information belongs to the subject. This is completely opposite of current thinking, but current thinking leads to unworkable situations. You own your own information and no one else can keep or aggregate it, except as you expressly allow. To do otherwise would be theft and punished as such. Yea, I know that causes other problems, but you gotta pick. This is much more important (valuable) then mp3's.
Just give them your logon password. When they ask for another just say it's the only pw you have. How can they prove, beyond a resonable doubt, that not only is there an encrypted file on your computer, but that you know about it. If you can stomach it, run xp, turn off swap, and rename your encrypted file pagefile.sys. I have been considering private files on a volume accessed by a virtual machine which I only run from a shell, no gui or menu entry. Can you encrypt the "file system" of a virtual computer? Maybe even keep the VM on a flash drive?
Crap! I thought I had mod points to up this. Come the revolution (TM) we shoot all the judges first. They were the ones personally charged with protecting our rights and they are the ones giving them away. Who do you think told the police they could tazer people as much as they want, hold them down and spray pepper in their eyes, even dab it on with cotton balls. Arrest photographers, shoot dogs, allow "accidents" in jail. Why do cops know they can lie under oath? Who says it's ok if the dash cam is "broke"? It's the judges. No one ever trusted the politicians and bureaucrats, but we did the judges and they have sold us out.
That is the classic cowardly liberal response and the reason why they are hated. You advocate that you steal from me under cover of law and give it to the underclass so that they won't rob you. I suppose because I have so much less to lose?
What revolution would they mount, except to improve their lot? Why is that bad? Why do you think you should keep your ill-gotten goods?
Assuming that is true,"The country is fucking dead jim." how do we move on from here? If we concede the present government is inauthentic then how can the people be convinced to form a better and more equitable system? And what should we do about opposition from the enforcement arm of the existing government, which will likely not renounce it's "allegiance".
They are not allowed access to mailboxes, and they lack the legal protection afforded to the post office. It is a federal crime to tamper with US Postal mail, but not FedEx.
Anti government doesn't mean pro corporation. Remember that corporations are a creation of the state to limit the liability of shareholders. Without government "grant" of corporation everyone owning stock in a company would be legally liable for the misconduct of that corporation. I don't know what others think small government means, but to me it means the elimination of corporations.
Thanks, but that kinda defeats the purpose of Gentoo. I know I can work thru the problems. I first installed Redhat over 10 years ago. (K)Ubuntu is a nice intro, but I want to learn enough I can really fix stuff when it breaks, not just run a script or follow a list of instructions. I want to understand how it really works. I was making the point that such isn't beyond us "oldsters" and would remind folks that it was my generation that created theses shiney toys and actually knows how they work, not just what they do.
You are correct. You also cannot make money selling air unless the government intervenes on your behalf. I have found my plans to sell bags of dirt and small rocks similarly thwarted Too bad, I would like to see the videos, wanna bet they are already on youtube by someone who didn't worry if they would get paid?
How about we stuff all that, line the seats up in 2 long back to back rows, and let somebody else shuttle our crap. There should be a bit of under seat storage for whatever you cannot live without for a couple of hours. If you think this is horrible then take another flight; I can't imagine a better way to fly unless they could get rid of the cabin all together.

He just bought it, he didn't steal it. I seriously doubt he commissioned the crime.
It means the parental rights are being usurped by the court, which asserts the court judgments to override any parental decisions.

They should just sell it to people who will piss it out west of them.
Actually you are conforming to local regulation. Try not having a lawn there.

I like your conclusion.

Yea, I remember how anti-authoritarian Germany and Italy were last century. An absolute anarchist Paradise.

All government is tyranny. Government is incompatible with freedom, liberty, and justice.
Yea. I thumb my nose at all of them that I disagree with.
Damned right, they may skimp the mustard!

Think they checked alt.anonymous? That is where I would disseminate my plans for world domination.
