It's easy to tell who cheats in life. Those who are successful and do little work cheat while those who do all the extra work to take up the slack do not.
Your children won't be any safer if some random pervert can't get his jollies from images anymore. Without an outlet, these pervertss will bottle it up until they can no longer hold back. Innocent children will most likely suffer due to such legislation.
I think this is their goal. Once the filter doesn't work and makes things worse (even only if it's media hype) they will be able to pass more restrictive laws. It's a means to an end and that end is perfect control of the masses and information in general with no oversight by anyone.
Windows CD and the key it comes with and Ill fix it", when they cant produce it, they shut up.
No... they don't... And if they do then you aren't getting paid. If you're really an ass and they still want to do business with you then they will bring you a burned disk with the key written on it that has no service packs or fixes slip-streamed. The only way to win is not to play the game, and by that I mean go out of business and die in a ditch somewhere...
Computer repair almost always equals you have just broken some law. OEM copy's of windows are tied to the motherboard so legally if you need to replace that you have to sell a new copy of windows but that never happens and yes Microsoft doesn't hold people to that most of the time but I have had it come up a few times lately where I call in. Wasting 30 minutes calling in repeatedly rather sucks. Sometimes you get the automated system and no problems, sometimes not. Not sure how they have it rigged.
Most of the time when check engine light comes on the issue is related to the emissions system. Some car companies even set it to turn on at predefined mileages to get you to bring in the car for "preventative" maintenance. Mostly the check engine light can be ignored safely for short periods of time but if it's a blinking then you will probably notice something is really wrong.
In the long run it's not good to ignore the light as you can destroy expensive parts of your car's emissions system like the catalytic converter. Most auto stores have a reader that can tell you why the light is on and will check it for free. You can then look up the code online to see what the deal is. Some times seemly silly things like not screwing the gas cap on tight enough makes the light come on.
There is a reason why cars still have the check oil light. Never ever ignore that light, stop your car at once unless you plan on buying a new one. Even if you check the oil level and it seems ok do not restart the car until you get someone to look over it.
Written comments should include a description of the problems experienced by the submitter {with country X} and the effect of the acts, policies, and practices {of said country} on U.S. industry. Comments should be as detailed as possible and should provide all necessary information for assessing the effect of the acts, policies, and practices. Any comments that include quantitative loss claims should be accompanied by the methodology used in calculating such estimated losses.
They aren't asking for our input on anything, just big media's and then they are only asking which countries they should go after with a rather large axe for being bad for business...
Feel free to write something just know that it will be filtered out before anyone important reads it. Honestly it should be clear to everyone that if they cared about what the public thought they would not be holding these meetings in secret.
But... If you wanna cause some trouble (for the Lulz) then I'd suggest picking a random country, lets say... china.. and then complaining about loosing millions because of IP theft. That at least should get past the filter and maybe even read before being deleted because it just wasn't valuable for their secret negotiations. Now if you want to help them out than might I suggest complaining about Canada or Spain. Pretty sure file swapping was ruled legal in Spain a while back.
I own you and you must jump through all these ridiculous hoops."
I really don't understand which hoops you find to be so ridiculous or for that matter how you equate needing to respond to FOIA requests to being shit on. If you were to work in the private sector you would respond to them every day when your boss tells you to pull up what you've been working on or when he checks the companies servers to see who you've been emailing...
all the bright people figure out that you can get much, much more done outside of this idiotic framework
You can get out of one idiotic framework and into another but as far as I'm aware you can never escape them all. Working for someone, be it public or private, always has negatives as does working for one's self. The whole world is one big idiotic framework of laws, rules, procedures and the like.
1) Do you seriously think that the whole climate science depends on one scientist's data?
Irrelevant, if you use public money to do your research your boss gets all that work.
2) CRU was trolled by FOIA requests. They are nuisance to deal with, as far as I was told.
Irrelevant, FOIA requests are part of the deal when you take public money. Don't like it? Don't take public money. The whole idea that FOIA requests can be labeled troll sounds like a very bad idea. I for one don't want to start hearing the government claim that the EFF are trolls and thus are ignoring their FOIA requests.
3) Scientists are people, people have emotions. That's why peer review is used.
It's still illegal and often makes local people unhappy.
What isn't illegal in the U.S. now days?/sarcasm As a local of an area with a lot of creative graffiti artist I can say that a lot of what I see is very interesting and much nicer than looking at the bare concrete...
It would seem strange to drop support for OS X 10.4, released in 2005, while keeping support for Windows 2000, released in 2000. Even if Win2000 support is dropped, XP was released in 2001 is certainly staying.
I don't think the Win2000 code is much different than the WinXP plus if you look at it from the number of current users Win2k has to be over 9000 times higher than OS X 10.4. Die hard OS X 10.4 users can always fork it.
That's an interesting point and you are right to a certain degree. I just wonder about the venture capital and stock prices dropping for these private companies. I guess we will see how the market reacts when there is a major accident. I personally hope people don't freak out but I'm not so sure that they won't. I'd love to take a trip to LEO sometime regardless of the risk but that will never happen until the price is driven down by the free market.
You obvoiusly know little to nothing about the relationship between authoring a book and publishing a book. Book's most often require editing, fact checking, layout, artwork - even hiring a set of on the cheap professionals this will cost thousands
Or you can go down to your local college and hire a couple people for next to nothing and end up with the same quality.
Nope. You can't. That you think this is possible just disqualifies you for the discussion. You're ignorant. Anything more you say will just be more drivel. Done.
LoL, wow you really put me in my place didn't you. And here I was under the impression that publishers hire people off the street like every other business and that those 'people' had gone to college in order to work as editors, etc...
You can try and mod me down but you really can't stop me unless you hire a ninja...
Ugh... My point was that space travel is dangerous. What do you think will happen when a private companies space craft explodes? If it is anything like what happened when the space shuttle exploded then said company will be out of business...
Designing, typesetting, and making a book used to be so much more labor-intensive and time-consuming in the past. Yet I look at such books published decades ago all the time, and generally the quality is quite high. Why is it, then, that I see more poorly-designed books these days with typographical errors on every page?
I'm horrible when it comes to spelling but I come across errors all the time while reading newer books so that leads me to beleive that publishers really don't do anything magical that some random English major couldn't do. Better yet hire 2 or 3 people and pay per error corrected or something like that...
But I forget my place.. We can't improve or make anything cheaper if it hurts big media...

Its not past tense much as you'd like it otherwise.
Hummm death+50 years sounds like past tense in some cases.

It's harder to regulate, and easier for people to get addicted and gamble away all their assets at home.
Are you these people's mommy? Freedom means being able to fuck yourself...

If you make online gambling lawful, it just gives the online casinos incentive to go overseas to avoid paying any tax whatsoever.
What? who said they couldn't make it legal for U.S. based companies and illegal for offshore ones?
Sounds like they need to start GoogleBay.
O.. we can only hope and dream about that day. I am totally sick of both PayPal and eBay....

At least until one of the commercial vehicles explode.

That's alright... I have Asperger's so I can totally relate to being Insensitive... Honest...
