You had to be below the threshold for the last 6 months.
Get fired from a good paying job and you are still not allowed Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Even if you are unemployable or barely employable now.
The new bankruptcy laws seem to be evil (I may be wrong - but I want a real argument, not some right-wing rhetoric).
Remember, Bush is a "COMPASSIONATE" conservative.
Just ask the people of New Orleans about his bottomless "COMPASSION".
Letting New Orleans die and get replaced eventually by rich people living in cookie cutter developments in a city with no soul which is what will happen if nothing is done isn't even true "conservatism" - conservatives like to preserve - this is "corporatism" in favor of real estate developers instead - because that's what will go in the now freed up land - and you can bet the leeves will be built right this time when its rich white people living in their condos instead - they'll find the funding then.
#2 may be true but hardware manufacturers don't see it that way.
One can get sued for reverse engineering to write a driver, and with the DMCA it is even more likely one will lose if one decides to fight.
Losing means hundreds of thousands of damages or more in many cases, even against an individual.
Get a judgement against you like that and 25% of your wages for many years or perhaps even your whole life will go to some court judgement - also your house will be sold, etc in many cases.
You have no company to protect you if your are an independent open source programmer.
Forget that, they only pass laws making already illegal things illegal with a given technology when it involves the Internet and/or "intellectual property".
They made "do no evil" such a centerpiece of their public stance on issues that to go against it would be a public relations disaster which could make people go to MSN and Yahoo. Everyone with Windows has easy access to MSN and absolutely everyone uses Yahoo (maps, mail, personals, etc) so Google could lose out badly.
That would hurt the shareholders.
Shareholders already complained about the China issues.
Plus, if the head of Google is religious, making him go against his religion's beliefs to satisfy shareholders would violate the First Amendment. Yeah, the First Amendment has been gutted (by BOTH parties), but under Bush (love him, hate him or anything in between on other issues, like bungling the Hurricane Katrina situation in New Orleans) you got to admit he supports religion (he has an office of faith based initiatives).
Google is known for being reliable, all inclusive and fair. They lose any of the 3, they go downhill. And with a 400+ stock price, there is a LONG way down.
The last sentence in that message could be considered assisting with circumvention (offering a service, trafficing in, etc or even be considered a "tool") and thus be illegal.

Will you pay for that to be done? No? Who will?

The racism and heartlessness is sickening.
Degrades gracefully?
Like the Linux kernel does when its low on memory?

Congress will pass such a law.

I could put it cheaply into a homebuilt aircraft.
Now if we could only have homebuilt aircraft.
if you use Java for something it wasn't designed for,
Like anything where speed or reliability is important.
First of all, how does one "project" a radar "image"?
That's classified.
q.net is broken.
In Britain you don't have 100+ mile stretches of road with no major cities on it.
Like on Interstate 15 in the USA.
The US is way more spread out, and the UK is more compact, so $6.50/gallon would hurt us far more.
Yes, I do know the US has sorry public transit - we are working on it.
Agreed.
I'd visited the Midway (US Navy ship built in the 1940's) in San Diego recently.
I'm considered short (5'6") but on the way to the bridge even I had to duck to avoid bonking my head.
People have gotten a LOT taller over the years.

You must really love working for Google. :)
Was it SCO? :)
(or perhaps Novell?)
You're talking about image and you use the most offensive word in the English language. You come across as a racist Neanderthal.
Ironic color scheme on an article about people being badly dressed.
Many people think the color scheme on this webpage makes one's eyeballs scream.
The last sentence in that message could be considered assisting with circumvention (offering a service, trafficing in, etc or even be considered a "tool") and thus be illegal.
Charges by cpu hour is a bogus metric.
$1 a CPU hour on a 486 33MHz is NOT a better deal than $5 for an hour on a P4 running at 3.2 GHz
It might be good for billing but it is bad for comparisons.
Can't you anti-health-choice atheists go play in traffic or something?
Pages that cut off horizontally and require scrolling are poorly designed.
That's why we should use Open Source software instead of Photoshop, at least until the authors of such software get sent to Federal prison.
Interesting quote from an Onion spokesperson in that article you linked to:
:)
"We do print lies to make money."
So just how is that different than what the media does?
Oh, yes, the Onion doesn't tell people they are telling the truth.
Placebos are better than statins, at least they won't make your muscles die and end up clogging your kidneys, or damage your liver, heart, or brain.
Trademarks do NOT have to be registered.
Unregistered trademark = TM
Registered trademark = ®
Registering gets you more rights to pursue infringers.
Patents only exist if registered, but while you are getting a patent ("Patent pending") you still have some rights - I am not sure what they are.
No I'm not.
Why is not being an atheist considered a joke on Slashdot?
God intends for us to survive, without having to flee to other planets.
You going to talk about entropy and how the Earth, and us, will all cease to exist by necessity?
If so, explain how the original order entered the Universe.
