If the US were applying those rules to it's own companies within it's own borders he wouldn't have a leg to stand on. unfortunately it's a double standard, one rule for americans, another for everyone else. (but that's ok because USA number 1! USA number 1! go nationalism!)
Why go with Klingon or any existing language when we can make one up? one in which double negatives aren't positive or in which every statement is negated automatically unless a "not" is added.
Do you want to not not not vote against candidate who is not a candidate other than candidate A?
Longer copyright terms wouldn't have helped you, by the sound of it you brought a knife to a gunfight and got screwed over. Did you even have your own lawyer?
you didn't mention.
no, that illustrates what happens when foreigners have repeating rifles and the natives don't. the natives get defeated and the foreigners take the land.
Complete bullshit. There's always been isolated communities where poeple stick to the languages they already know and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Stop listenting to glenn beck . everything he says is crap and normally racist crap.
There is no need for any such law. The US has been doing fine for hundreds of years without.
Well I'm guessing that since it's about copyright as long as you create no copies within the united states you're good. but then that's applying logic which laywers don't like doing.
So my guess is that if you ask a major copyright holder they'll tell you that anything up to and including mentioning that the work is out of copyright elsewhere is illegal and they'll happily push to try to get you punished.
An example: Finasteride was initially approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1992 under the brand name Proscar, a treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In 1997, the FDA approved finasteride to treat male pattern baldness
someone discovered that a 1 mg daily dose of a prostate cancer drug normally taken in 5mg doses for prostate cancer could treat baldness.
The drug was out of patent for prostate cancer but the trials were done for baldness.
he who does the trials gets the patent.
If they did the trials for using a specific bitter substance for asthma then they'd probably get the patent.
Exactly. My point was that the few things that do change change insanely fast. By the time a textbook on a language is out there's a good chance it's on to the next version.
But the vast majority like algorithms and data-structures does not change at all in any meaningful way for decades .
I was doubly lucky. All my professors, even the worst were capable of setting their own assignments and course material. How crap/lazy are professors in your country?
I hear so much about people in college getting taught straight from various textbooks and it boggles the mind. sure secondary school was like that but even my crappiest college lecturers wrote their own assignments and made their own slides.
For anything in computer science which changes fast it generally changes fast enough that by the time a books has been written,published and distributed it's already out of date. For the vast majority of material it changes so slowly it doesn't matter.
I was lucky enough to go to a major university where the professors weren't as corrupt as fuck and didn't have any arrangements with their friends to require each others books and this was pretty much exactly the view a number of them espoused.
Poor typesetting? really? You're grasping at straws now. There's no shortage of spelling mistakes in modern books and wasn't there an article a few days ago about how people learn better from harder to read text. It's trivial either way.
Your comment about Paul Erdos would be more convincing if "The Book" he was referring to was real rather than a completely fictional book in which God wrote the particularly beautiful proofs for all theorems. He wasn't talking about checking the textbook, he was simply telling them to find a better proof.
Ya, I'd question if they're really solving the travelling saleman. The bees get to select their own flowers where the salesman has to visit that one city out in the middle of nowhere.
By simply forcing the majority of potential customers to buy the books whether they want to or not?
I got through my entire undergrad buying only one book (and that turned out to be a waste) but if I were to do the same course again under a college running something like in the op I'd have to shell out for the 5 books per module per year which the lecturer mentions at the start and then never references again.
probably would have cost a couple of thousand overall.
when you can't sell your product on it's own merit simply mandate that people buy it.
Now try this in google image search and look at the first few hits. julian assange inurl:CNN
they seems to be one of the few news sources other than the guardian which can take a picture with decent colour balance and without taking it from way above his eye level or as he's leaning forward?
The difference- wikipedia actively makes it as easy as possible for people to make that effort and correct things in minutes. In politics it is set up exactly opposite. No individual no matter how much effort they're willing to put in can correct even the most obvious fuckup without investing months, years or,most likely, decades to get into a position from which they can, and even then it's a long shot.
So is it just to demand that a german company in germany pay all their taxes in ameria or that an american company in america pay all their tax is germany just because they're associated in some way with a company in the other country?
Also I'm not sure of the specifics but if they really wanted to they could probably insist you give them the encryption key for a particular session... one which was generated and discarded by your browser long since.

" if they want to participate in our democracy"
If they have the right to vote then it's their democracy too.
It's their democracy just as much as it's your democracy.
You were doing so well till you went all republican-radio-show-host with that little comment.

However you do not have to know english in order to be an american citizen.
Of course people who don't speak english don't deserve to get their vote counted if you listen to certain radio hosts.
I'm guessing it would be patentable.

Try reading the second.

Tax evasion: illegal, not paying tax you owe.
Tax avoidance is perfectly legal and is where you don't pay tax you're not required to pay.
people need to understand that the 2 are not the same.
Also I'm not sure of the specifics but if they really wanted to they could probably insist you give them the encryption key for a particular session... one which was generated and discarded by your browser long since.
then throw you in jail when you don't comply.
They'd earn my mistrust more if they outright lied or withheld results because they didn't match with the politics of people like you.
And?
the media isn't there to nod and smile at everything the government does.
If that were all they did then they wouldn't be doing their jobs.
