I'd rather see an incremental increase in popularity required for an incumbent. Pure majority initially, then an ever increasing need from there say 5% increase per term. If someone is good and has 90% of the population's support why should he be kicked out due to some arbitrary term limit. Of course this has the problem of if they get to 90% then someone only needs 10% to win. hmmm, how to fix that?
Actually the GPL does have a restriction of use clause in it. If the GPL is found to be invalid due to patent or court decision than nobody has rights to distribute the code.
Perhaps they could make up some crap about the world cooling....no....warming up. they could get an former US Vice Pres to be the spokes person to lend it some credibility. (They may have to pay him 160 Million or so, but it'll be worth it) Then attach it to all research that they do. This will combat world warming, or Global Warming, or better yet that's to specific, lets call it Global Climate Change. I'm sure that'll get us funding for our research.
Or perhaps the forgo the rest of the infrastructure in order to promote internet connectivity. Homes in Korea are not much larger than my cubical here at work. Electricity is scary looking when you see the giant rats nests of wires that'd make the back of a the worst stereo cabinet look like a model of organization and planning. Roads are potted and narrow and rarely ever have markers. I guess if you give up on all these things and focus on internet it's probably pretty easy.
Well yea, anything less is poverty. There's people in the US that have less than a 42" flatscreen TV. Worse yet there are people that don't even have a TV. They try to keep their pride by saying their proud not to be a slave to the tube, but we all know they are just jealous of the upper poor and their Lexus's and BluRay players.
There should be a government funded mandate that there should be 10GiB Fiber to every home. That way even the people without computers, or desire to be on the internet can help pay for my high speed WoW addiction.
not completely born with. "The force is strong in the Skywalker family." and "Midichlorians are something you're born with." We're the themes of both movies. Being a jedi is about honing a talent. Falling to the dark side is about exploiting a talent. Lucas fights this well.

It's a very old saying from before man walked upright. You and Geico seem to have something against cave men.
That has always bugged me. When someone asks me I have an incontrollable urge to look up. Not that I don't say it as well.
exaggerated English accent to the grammar nazi, "And now we see the apathy inherent in the phrase. Help! Help! I'm being repressed."
Ohh great. That's exactly what this thread needs.
It's a contraction. here is the evolution of the phrase:
"I could not care less."
"I couldn't care less."
"I could'care less."
most people now just leave off the apostrophe. I'm going to move forward with
"I c'less."
Yea, your right. I see these things alot.
stop means "to stop" while stop means "to refrain from doing."
Regulations should be difficult to implement and easy to remove.

NASA is just welfare for engineers.
People who always tell others to 'get a life' need to find something better to do.

Is it difficult to get 39 USD monthly for that in Sweden? Seems it'd be easier to pay 245 Swedish kronor.
Hmm, Image a Beowulf cluster of Politician's brains....On second thought....don't.
Sweet, I for one welcome our forgetfully twitching robotic overlords.

You have the government mandate wheelchair access ramps and/or elevators everywhere.

Mmmmmhh, Lesbian gap.
I think they prefer "Nomadicly swindled"
I'd rather see 1GiB for 10 a month and 10Gib for 15 a month and 1millionTiB (pinky to mouth) for $.50 a month.
You know, since were just making up some numbers.
There should be a government funded mandate that there should be 10GiB Fiber to every home. That way even the people without computers, or desire to be on the internet can help pay for my high speed WoW addiction.
It's the Born again Bourne Again shell. Now with more Jesus.
