The best way to stop terrorism is to control that which creates an environment for it exist in. Thus, while creating new and better weapons to deal with the problem might help, they won't make it go away.
A short list of items that people use to kill people that should be banned to prevent more deaths:
Guns, knives, hands, arms, pens, tire irons, vehicles, clubs, hammers, poison, explosives, fire, drugs, rope, nylons, anything that is heavy and easily wielded, anything that is sharp enough to penetrate the skin, water (used for drowning), etc.
Interestingly enough, firearms are only used in about 60% of murders. Take away guns or other weapons and people will still find ways to kill people they're real mad at. It's been happening since long before guns were around. How many serial killers use guns?
Of course, there is also the possibility that in like most air hijackings, that the plane would have safely landed somewhere with even fewer casualties. This is why not much was done on September 11th, we expected the terrorists to behave nicely or fly somewhere else, not to crash the planes into buildings.
Yes, that is how the constitution works on nearly everything. It is intentionally broad and leaves the finer interpretations to the legistlature, executive, and judicial branches of the government.
The bill uses the term "sender" and it is defined as such:
(16) SENDER-
(A) IN GENERAL- Except as provided in subparagraph (B), the term `sender', when used with respect to a commercial electronic mail message, means a person who initiates such a message and whose product, service, or Internet web site is advertised or promoted by the message.
(B) SEPARATE LINES OF BUSINESS OR DIVISIONS- If an entity operates through separate lines of business or divisions and holds itself out to the recipient throughout the message as that particular line of business or division rather than as the entity of which such line of business or division is a part, then the line of business or the division shall be treated as the sender of such message for purposes of this Act.
Thus, the subcontracted person is not the sender, but the business that the message was sent for is the sender.
Open Source Hardware has been around for a long time. Woz himself used to give away the schematics for the original Apple computer, because he believed it was more important to let everyone know how to make the stuff rather than make money off of it.

Who said the paper trail would contain the voter's name? Current ballots don't have your name on them, why should we go away from anonymous voting?
I wouldn't say that Microsoft in trying to dictate what Intel does, but they probably try to influence certain decisions that will affect how they program their Operating Systems. CPU makers and OS makers have to be in bed together.
That is pretty messed up; I know of some cases in Indiana where cities have been split in half in congressional districts. That doesn't make much sense to me, as I would think it would be more appropriate to have an entire community represented by one person if possible.
I bet if you had 2 identical auctions except one had free shipping and the other had a $10 shipping charge, the one with free shipping would sell for more than $10 greater than the one with the shipping charge.
(1) PROTECTION NOT EXTENDED- Subject to paragraph (2), protection under section 3 shall not extend to computer programs, including any computer program used in the manufacture, production, operation, or maintenance of a database, or to any element of a computer program necessary to its operation.
Most Roman dice games involve a 6 sided die. It is still possible this was used for gaming, especially given the symbols on it look similar to those seen on other gaming dice.
Calculators still create problems for many students who discover how to integrate using one, but never actually learn what they're really doing. When they get out of high school they have no clue what they're doing, but they can plug numbers into a calculator and get the right answer.
The only people google really needs to keep happy to stay in business are the people using the search engine to find things, and the people who pay to have a text ad on the side of the page.
Since these people are a small subset of actual users, and probably are not paying for an ad; I doubt there is any concern at all about how they feel.
The major fundamentalist Christian denomination would be Baptists (and not all of them.) But assuming the worst case, in 1990, 19.4% of United States citizens themselves Baptists, in 2001, 16.3% considered themselves Baptists. Adding up the others gives about 40% that are more than likely not fundamentalists.
Give room for plenty of error, and you're still not being over-run. It's just they happen to be the loudest group.
16 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.
Reviewing more version on Bible Gateway reveals that only the King James Version, the 21st century King James Version, and the Wycliffe New Testament use the word "in." All others available there use "on." (including NKJV.)
Just kind of interesting, but also makes it hard to draw conclusions based on it.

Does anyone else find amusing that this person linked to US copyright code on a server based in the UK?
While I'm sure that what you cite is probably accurate, may I suggest for the future: http://uscode.house.gov or www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/

The advertisements that are fake stories irritate me too; you see them in certain newspapers too.
You might be a little nuts if you cross the street to avoid walking past a store though. =]
Capital One is No-Hassle in the sense that they'll send you less junk mail once you join. You don't get to stop the pop ups though.

Sometimes SP1 runs better than RC3. Go figure.
Didn't people say the same thing about VCRs?

That's what I was saying.....
Users: Many of them existed, needed to please advertisers
Advertisers: Provide cash flow
Users abusing the systems: Not many of them exist, and only reduce satisifaction of the other users and advertisers.

NIV says "on":
16 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
