Oh please! The companies have no issue with this. Their monopolies provide a captive audience, and all costs are passed on as always. It moves money. That's all that matters. And if there ever is a real conflict, the gov can just come in and tell you, "Gee.. nice business license you got there. Hate to see anything happen to it."
...I do think that squeezing all that stuff we call "intelligence" into a *single measure* is a pretty dumb thing to do...
Kinda like asking, How's the weather on Earth? In a word, habitable..
Aren't intelligence tests supposed to measure the ability to learn? Culture shouldn't be an issue.. But maybe the ability to adapt to different culture should be taken into account. Eh, maybe you said that already...
I believe hoarding is hardwired into the system. Highly irrational in today's times of plenty, but controlling genetic impulses seems to be beyond his abilities. Great! Let's take the law to its next level of absurdity. SNAFU
Well, you might be able to sue these guys.. I mean since this guy is essentially suing a toy company. I can hardly wait for people to start suing for emotional trauma when they can't win the game.
The politician will become honest when the voter does. Voters don't care about corruption as long as they think they'll get a piece of the action. So, despite idiot media polls telling us about their single digit "approval" rating, you see a 98% approval rating in the real polls. We are the ones that convert money into votes.
With all the cross ownership on Wall Street, you may find you'll have to quit buying toilet paper and maxi pads and laundry soap and toothpaste and clothes and some foods... and don't forget to cut off the cable, telephone, internet
You're sick, and if you're serious, you're a coward. Advocating violence while hiding in a corner? Well, here's another trick you may want to try before sending someone else off to get shot. Try to convince people to stop voting for corrupt politicians. Now, if all you want is to attempt to reduce the population, then by all means, put down your keyboard, and pick up a gun (We're gonna have a whole lotta fun...)
...would you put up with stricter DMCA-like rules if it meant massively more purchasing options for you?...I would support this if it meant I could purchase Amazon MP3s instead of relying on less than reputable sites for acquiring music.
That's a horrible attitude. "Give me convenience, or give me death", right? Let's do anything to assure that Disney might leave a few extra crumbs? Screw that.
To answer your question, no. Not just no, but HELL NO! We shouldn't do business with thieves for such brief, temporary gratification. Make it more permanent, and I'll reconsider
It will only hit the hobbyists when they try to turn it into a business. It's the same thing that attracted unwanted attention to P2P. Hobbyists are like humans walking around a Borg ship. They are unnoticed.

The EC is.. who now?
...it is that republicans are not conservatives and democrats are not liberals, despite our flamewars to the contrary.
Hardly matters while they hold on to their 98% approval ratings in the polls.

And if there ever is a real conflict, the gov can just come in and tell you, "Gee.. nice business license you got there. Hate to see anything happen to it."
...they quickly change their behavior based on that knowledge.
How very quantum of us. Oh well, nothing to see there.

They're looking for that old film from one of the proving grounds. You know which one I mean.

These bankers, how exactly did they "fail"? And it seems their only "punishment" was a bonus, or a job offer... running the SEC??

KOffice, ja?
...I think we should insist on a tag just for that site so we can filter them out.
"Idle"?
Oh, you, too, huh?
Rollers are so passe
Individuals do not have access to government.
Yes they do!
Government is influenced by money.
The voters are more influenced by money. Otherwise they wouldn't vote for all that bling.
Stop with this fucking blame game! Government is corrupt because the electorate is corrupt.

Yeah, right! Like the rest of the world is voting out their corrupt politicians...
