People go to AA/NA & admit to being a alcoholic/addict so they can be in denial about having a personality disorder, hence the 95+% failure rate long term.
Concentrating on a drug being the problem means they avoid the real problem underneath, more often than not a cluster B personality disorder. One can avoid the bullshit by treating the personality disorder directly then deprogramming learned behaviour (total of 5 years to 8 years max). Problem is, alcoholics & addicts have the mentality of high school kids & would rather identify themselves as drug addicts/alcoholics than be considered mentally ill as their root identity. So instead they spend multiple decades bouncing between jails, rehabs, detoxes, dives, dealers, meetings, programs, pubs & slums, etc on a endless merry-go-round of denial of the real problem & it's treatment.
Only contagious diseases require contagions, there's many, many, many thousands of diseases that require no contagions at all. Ever heard of genetic diseases? Ever heard of cancer? There's other types too.
As long as as a Web based concern doesn't have a bricks 'n mortar presence in the relevant country/state & does no banking/investment in the relevant country/state, it has nothing to fear from the country's legislature/courts/regulatory regime except a jurisdiction based web-filter, a la China, Iran, Australia, & that's a problem for the relevant country/state's own citizens/residents to deal with or work around.
Why web based concerns worry about the laws of countries they're not operating from is beyond me..
Just have a flat levy on residential land rates (like I think Queensland does for funding it's ambulance service).
Remember economies of scale are king in this business. The costs of running a nation-wide network with 97+% of the residential market & 100% of the Govt market aren't really that much greater than the costs of running a a nation-wide network with 20% of the same market, well relately speaking. The only decision required is working out the simplest/cheapest revenue method for such a govt utility. A flat rate levy on residential land rates fits the bill perfectly. The only requirement for retail ISP services would be the business market, which would nominally placate all the private ISPs crying fail at the govt using its comparative advantage to make them all redundent overnight in regards the residential market.
If Brits in the UK are obliged to comply with US laws then by default it means we all fall within the legal jurisdiction of every nation in the world simultaneously, regardless of where on earth we are.
Just because they censor the web doesn't mean they stop Chinese saying what ever they want over the web. It just stops other Chinese hearing/seeing everything they want over the web. Plus there are about 200 odd countries so even if China only just makes it into the list of the top 20 most hacked countries, it still means China is one of the most hacked as that would mean being in the top 10%.
Why do Americans have such a problem with govt depts & statutory authorities using their comparative advantage to successfully compete on the open market & make money?
Every dollar a Australian govt dept or statutory authority makes is one less dollar required from us Aussie taxpayers, which is a good thing for us.
There's 2 charges there, 'Break 'n entering' & Malicious damage.
Now if the bloke found the key to the front door 'n just walked in & had not reformatted the hard drive, then maybe we could assume no law is broken.
Trespass doesn't apply unless:- A, The intruder is forewarned directly - "hey mate don't go in there, it's private property & you'll be trespassing & prosecuted for it". B, There's visible signs with a similar message as the quote above - "Do not enter - Private property - Trespassers will be prosecuted" C, The intruder was discovered on the same property on a previous occasion & was told that if he entered the property again (without invitation) he'd be prosecuted for trespassing.
Meaning even if it seems the Chinese have a disproportionately high interest in net vandalism activity or whatever, statistically per capita they may actually have a disproportionately low interest in net vandalism activity or whatever.
Every civilian in the US can be found guilty of cocaine dealing & have all their property forfeitured, just through the uncorroborated testimony of a paid snitch with a dubious past, & no other evidence what so ever - Ever heard of Mobile, Alabama & Union, Texas? Or look at all the prosecutor/judge/jury combos that have put innocent people to death.
Anyway unless the software he's using is illegal or the order of key strokes he's typing is illegal then nothing he's doing is illegal, well unless the result of using that software with those keystrokes is illegal, but then according to common-law it's up to the law enforcement body to prove he knew what the result would be.
Subsidies & govt intervention of the nascent oil industry were essential to the oil idustry as it exists today. For example you do know that BP was a creation of the Royal Navy.
It's not illegal for people to want to avoid blacks, whites or whatever, & it's not illegal for one to even make an attempt. Plus it's not the govt's role to stop people avoiding each other if that's their wish. Surely personal freedom trumps political correctness. It's only the govt's job to regulate personal freedoms where one person's act infringes on anothers' personal freedom, hence the existence of criminal statutes/laws.
After all I assume the criminal code was not designed to encourage or discourage integration, assimilation, multiculturalism, ghetto-ism or any whatever ism, of course many have tried but that leads down the road to Auschwitz & Stalin's genocide of Kulaks, etc, etc or on the opposite extreme backlashes, riots, revolts & mob rule.
Better to keep the statutes as minimal as possible, as in where persons/collectives committs act/s that infringes others' personal freedoms (mind you there's a bit of defining required here), plus of course to protect our enviroment. There is no society/community/civilisation if people are allowed to fuck with the air, water, topsoil & biodiversity.
giving a bit of redundancy in one's approach to reacting to such a scenario (one can both put the car into neutral & turn the ignition off at the same time).
Licensed drivers should be able to work out that's all that's required if a engine autonomously revs out & won't drop back, is to simply rotate the starter key one step anti-clockwise, turning the ignition off, so one can effectively apply the brakes to pull up. Even if one finds an unassisted brake pedal too much effort to depress, there is such a thing called a handbrake. If drivers can't comprehend such a resolution in a matter of seconds then they shouldn't be on the road.
It really is too easy to get & keep a license in Anglo countries. Uncontrollably reving out Toyotas would never have been a problem in Germany where learner drivers have to spend thousands of Euros learning how to react to numerous emergency situations like this & are then tested on them before they can get a license to drive.
Next time you go on the web try smoking some meth beforehand, you'd be amazed at the huge number of squished up tabs that seem to appear in virtually no time at all along the top or bottom of the screen, then open the task manager & see what that does resource wise, you'll see what I mean.
When economies of scale are king, where fixed costs & relatively fixed costs make up a disproportionatly high percentage of total costs, competition drives costs up which mean higher prices longterm &/or provider bankruptcies offloading costs community wide.
Just compare the costs of a govt owned Telco monopoly that has 98% of a national market, verses the costs of say 3 private Telcos all competing nation wide. Plus govts don't have to pay to axcess govt land right-of-ways or aerial bandwidth spectrum (beyond paper-work semantics of govt paying itself). Ontop of which govt can axcess credit for infrastrure/technology upgrades at cheaper rates than the private sector, including even the rates that multi-nationals can negotiate.
Sure some people here may come out of the wordwork saying govts can't run businesses efficiently & govt corporatised bodies, statutory corporations 'n utilities are full of bloat & take for ever to get anything done, but if one bother's to go to the trouble, one can find plenty of exceptions to this arround the world to prove this a furphy in reality.
Of course it's possible for private monopolies to exist but the problem there is they exist to maximise dividends for their shareholders & thus legislative regulations are required to prevent over-pricing, which are a restriction on private businesses having the right to charge what they want, pluses adds the costs of a regulatory enforcement & appeal regime, adding more costs. While govt corporations & utility monopolies are useally restrained to only charging enough to keep themselves in the black (with govt dividends to consolidated revenue being near traditional norms) by the politicians being afraid of being voted out if.they increase charges too.
....& adults with a metal age of 12 at the very most, & that includes the original 3 films from the 70's 'n early 80's.
Just compare the original Star Wars flick with Leone's "Once Upon a time in America", that were both made around the mid 70's. They definitely weren't both made for adults of the same intellect.

I want some of that.
They reckon shabs came from China too.
If they can get a away with hiking the prices on their products they will anyway, regardless of whether there's a royalty to the CSIRO to pay or not.
