And my own anecdote says that all of the hardware I have has worked on Linux as well as on Winows, but without all the annoyance of having to hunt down drivers. The only minor issue I have had is that my laptop uses the b43 driver that needs some firmware. It takes about 30 seconds to copy that to the laptop when/if I decide to reinstall. My desktop has no need for that; just open the package manager and then install the video driver. My grandpa's desktop only needs the drivers on the disk; the same can not be said for Windows.
It's not just that. These people are also enraged at what they see as US imperialism in the Middle East. With all the invasions and troops deployed to the region, and all the coups, it is a wonder to me that the US isn't constantly being bombed by disaffected people of all stripes.
You people don't expect your house to revert to collective public ownership, what's so fairy dust magical about IP that means it cant be owned?
Scarcity. I can take your idea, but you still retain it. I cannot do the same for your house. If I take it, you cannot use it. The only way to defend IP rights is to override regular property rights.
The problem with that assertion is that the problem arises when there can be no private property rights in something, such as a fishing hole, for example. The solution is not more regulation, but to allow it to be owned. Otherwise, the same motives that were in place will still continue to operate. This is the response that prominent libertarians such as Murray Rothbard have given.
Can be done, I know, however I heard in other/. comments that this is really rare. I'd like to see some examples where this was done. The consequences can be "interesting" I'd say.
I am an American and have never heard of a jury striking down a law, and have never heard such a thing called "nullification." The only time I have heard that term is in reference to the principle that Jefferson put forth: that states can nullify unconstitutional laws. There have been many attempts at such a thing, such as the South Carolinian nullification of a tariff during Jackson's term. Also, some northern states tried the same thing over the embargo act. Most famously were the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions over the Alien and Sedition acts.
I know of no real attempt to do the same in the modern era.
I have a Dell Latitude D830 that has the buttons below the touchpad. Other family members with more recent Dells also have the same layout. Could it be HP laptops you're thinking of?
The involvement in Latin America (and the New World in general) has been going on since before the Civil War; most of the Western States came from Mexican territory.
Don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot I take it...
:Is it okay then to respond to evil with the exact same evil? Especially since this will likely hurt those that had no involvement with the evil in the first place.
Not only that, but isn't it equally "hypocritical" that people get fined for speeding, while police cars drive as fast as they need during a chase?
No, but it is very hypocritical for them to pull you over after they have been speeding for no reason whatsoever. I routinely see these Anointed Ones drive very fast without any flashing lights that signal, "We have an emergency here." I have also had these guys tailgate me in an attempt to get me to drive faster than the speed limit.
Subsidy: transfer payment, usually made by government to individuals, groups, or institutions, to bring about a redistribution of welfare which could not be achieved through market forces.
If I remember correctly, some of these diesel vehicles cannot be sold here in the US due to emissions laws being more strict for diesel vehicles. This is odd. considering the average 18 wheeler belches visible and foul smelling smoke. Perhaps that is where we Americans get our ideas about these engines from.
Isn't this the kind of reasoning that the neocons use when confronted about wiretapping and such? "You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide."
All the details are secret; we can not know whether or not there was indeed any blackmail involved, other than the words of a woman and a judge. I myself do not feel that blackmail is a crime, in any case. Immoral, perhaps, but certainly not something to go to court over.

stop training terrorists and betraying them.

All I want to do is imagine a Beowulf cluster of these.

For once, sex comes up on Slashdot in a way that's hilarious rather than creepy.
So, I was strolling down to the kindergarten.....
Technically speaking, they suck at "maths".
We Amurkins don't recognize no commie "maths." We want our math to grow up as individuals
And if they published this information before they filed the patent then it's now in public domain anyways. LoB
I believe in the US you are allowed to file one year after you publish. In Europe I believe this is not the case
Oh my god! That wiki proves it! I wonder what other words of "wisdom" it has to say.....

Given that everything there is legal, if you resist it, yes, you are committing a criminal act.
In most states there is no right to resist unlawful arrest. I happen to live in one of the states that recognize this right.

Then why does it carry so many UK stories?
Because the UK is the 51st state /Ducks
Free as in runs on MacOS X, albeit in a crappier form.
I prefer "bald tailless monkey".
That whole bald part certainly does not apply to me; I am covered in hair, as I suspect a large portion of my fellow nerds are.

Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!
Scotland? What is that? All I know of is Pictland.
Gentoo never really gets new releases; it gets more along the line of snapshots every year or so.
Offtopic? Troll? Funny? You be the judge!
Why limit ourselves to just one? I vote for all three! Only thing is you now lose twice the karma,
