The world is going downhill by too much catering for idiots. It is clear what is sponsored and what isn't - we can't make special versions for the retards who can't tell the difference. If that group makes up 80% of the americans, well thats tough - its about time they grown a brain.
"An ad placed by google has opportunity cost associated with it."
A tip does not.
Just like a television station doesn't pay for its own promos.
They are clearly telling you this is an add for one of their own products, not trying to make you think its a real link. People can try Picasa, realise it sucks and move on. Make a better product and they might buy it from you;)
Where Google does evil is in the totally crappy design of google groups and all the javascript junk they put on the pages.
"And the US Supreme Court declined to grant certiorari. Which means that it is only precedent in the Seventh Circuit - Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin. Hardly the definitive statement on whether the Second Amendment is an individual right."
Actually they didn't grant certiorari because they didn't think there was anything wrong with the judement.
His aim is politic. He thinks that you should save 10000 people now and not care what might happen 100 years from now, not understanding what happens now is affects what is to come. The fighting in Darfur is indirectly because of global warming since it has changed the rain patters there so they end up fighting over what little usable land is left. He thinks its a question about money, overlooking that we must do something about this - even if we can't "afford" it, since we most certainly can't afford to do nothing.
The original idea behind the Law and the Legal System is to formalize the moral and ethical beliefs of the society in which they operate, and remove ambiguities to assist in the resolution of disputes
Nice try. The point of law is to make the rich get richer at the expense of the poor.
To me, a language clearly is in the public domain.
yes that is what the original poster wrote. And the rest of us know that this guy he spoke of was an amoral asshole, and that copyright is solely made to support greed and nothing else.
Incidentally, the term "language police" is quite offensive to francophones such as myself, as well as anyone who has realized that French in Quebec actually was very well in danger of being wiped off by the deluge of English signs and companies up until the Quiet Revolution, and even, to a lesser extent, since then. There used to be a time where you could not be served in French in any businesses in Montreal, nor were there any French-language signage. I dare say that if it weren't for the "language police", it probably still would be the case.
Then we clearly need a langauge police, its stupid with all these regional langauges. We should have one langauge. Would help cut down on international tensions as well i'll bet.

?What is TPM?
We all know that banning Google Earth isn't enough. They the'll just use maps! We have to ban maps as well! So that we can all feel secure!
Isn't relevant to his point.
We live now - not then.
"they're evil because they're evil."
No more so than the leaders of the US - everybody thinks they are righteous, everybody rationalises what they do. Grow up.
" We can all tell the difference"
There is opinion and then there is fact.

Poor Amiga.
But surely they can't include millions, posibly billion of keys to lock out any specific consumer player?
By Duke Nuke'em forever!
Oh dear, that explains why its been working so badly lately.

Yeah, but they also say they aren't torturing people at guantanamo.
Its a first step, now we just need to get rid of royalties entirely.

But there are registars which offer anonymity, now millions of more sites to ban. Wouldn't it be easier to get of the internet?
You are wasting your time, every country has tons of free email addresses. Might as well give up now.
Nevertheless...
They shouldn't be expected to support the language for free, as in no charge for the software, so the alternative is to not support it at all.
Which is what they wanted all along. Like so many of us,they just wish for microsoft to go away and stay away.
Why not?

Hm, you can find windows all over the internet - that must mean its in the public domain

By making their software available in more languages, Microsoft is performing a service.
No, they are trying to make money.
