If they have their way, it will be illegal to turn you own screws. Or if you do, you will have to pay a royalty to the American Screw Turning Association
...we should use other methods for improving crop yields, which, also as the Prof. tells, are to be easily found in better irrigation and fertilisation for third world countries.
Gore/Lieberman would have won the election. I, for one, am just as glad they didn't. I blame Lieberman much more than Nader(who I don't blame at all for anything) for Gore's loss. He definitely cost Gore my vote. Actually not. I wouldn't vote for Gore anyway, but his VP cemented that decision. The only people you can "blame" for Bush's victory are those who voted for Bush. Don't try to put any culpability on those who vote their conscience.
Actually my point is, if you vote for the status quo, then you are just as much a part of the problem as the drones. Compromising your vote is a sign of surrender, that you gave up. and you have a less than zero effect. You're "Just another brick in the wall". Voting for an alternative won't knock down the building, but at least it's a brick through the window. Like sinking a boat with a hundred lawyers on board, it's a start..
I don't know where you vote, but my ballots frequently have more than two candidates on them, in addition to a write in option. You are perfectly free to choose as you please. The government is as accountable as we make it, and not one iota more. All this whining is just an attempt to shed personal responsibility.
Yes, scamming is everywhere. I'm trying to point out that the computer is an appliance, and it should be as reliable and maintenance free as a stove or refrigerator. It has fewer moving parts, but they are built and programmed to such marginal tolerances that they barely function when brand new. It seems almost intentional to prop up the service industry.
Actually I tend to agree... Lots of people (35,000 or so a year in the US?) are killing themselves and each other with the damn things. They do need to be fully automated. Operator error is the main problem, and it always will be. The airline industry is the best illustration of this I can dream up.
This does provide yet another argument against the camp which thinks that understanding the tools they use is not important.
The message I get from all this is that computers really aren't ready for prime time. They're more like automobiles from the first decade of the 1900s.
Not to the voters it isn't.. And considering the authoritarian nature of the average voter that is easily influenced by propaganda, it's probably best that way.

Better idea: Peace!
Let's hope Iceland's data haven, if they actually get it, can make it possible.
Hmmm, that must mean the French infection rate is 105%

I come from Wisconsin.
I work in a lumber yard there...
Off to Burma with you...
...you need something to insulate the drywall from the elements.
I do believe you're supposed to put the drywall on the inside the container.. But then, I'm no expert
I'm well aware of the benefits of limited copyright. My assumption was that you know why it isn't limited.
No write in? Then work your magic on the primaries
You, and only you are responsible for your vote. Propping up the regulars is your choice.
No wonder the government wants an off switch...

I'll assume that's a rhetorical question, and that you know the answer :-)

Copyright law never trumps freedom of speech...
Does so... as evidenced by many rulings.
Speech is speech. The 1st amendment does not categorize. We shouldn't either.
Not to the voters it isn't.. And considering the authoritarian nature of the average voter that is easily influenced by propaganda, it's probably best that way.
Regardless of his understanding, or lack thereof, copyright is broken...
We're the problem.
And the solution...
Hey hey hey STFU! Don't you know the first rule about the oil spill?
By the way, the 8th rule states that if this is your first rig, you have to spill
