Yeah? Where under "no law" are any of those things specified? Court decisions don't count. As far as I'm concerned they are in violation. If you want to restrict speech, you need to amend the actual law in the manner specified. You can't just say, "Oh, they didn't mean that..." and then substitute your personal feelings. It couldn't be more clear.
...you're saying that every legislator should vote to support bills with which they disagree, just because it's going to pass anyway?
Nope, I'm saying they weren't really against it. But they have to put on the grand show while collecting those nice campaign "donations".
It adds enormously to the deficit, piling on ever more debt.
Only to the public debt. The windfall comes from more direct deposits to those who helped it pass and to the "opposition" for playing their part so well.
Oh yes, and leaving enforcement up to the IRS was a nice touch, don't you think?
I was never talking about a public windfall. This money is entirely for the benefit of the players. And now you and I will will pay for it like good little slaves.
Please, don't try to give Clinton so much credit. Other than being there when the computer/internet thing really took off, he did very little. In fact he tried to impede it with the clipper chip and DMCA and export restrictions. And most of that "growth" you saw was only on Wall Street paper. The only growth Main Street saw was in consumer debt.
Republican "opposition" to the bill was as phony as a three dollar bill. Everybody in both houses was already counting the money months before it passed.
Voting "no" when you know the deal is going to pass is purely for appearances for the folks back home. That mandate will bring in more money than a Saudi arms deal. I doubt a single politician was actually against this massive windfall.
Summary says: Terms of the settlement include $8 million to cover lawyer fees and fund privacy policy education on the Internet, but do not include cash payouts to Gmail users.
Article sez: It will also be used to pay the lawyers and the people who sued.
Article also says 8.5 mil... Maybe the submitter read a different article
You might be surprised at how many gays vote republican... Granted most of them are hiding in the closet, but every once in a while the door pops open:-)
Republican or Democrat, they will follow the demands of their constituents, and they will follow the money. They don't care personally one way or the other about the gays.
Not to mention who bears the legal responsibility if your replicated part fails.
Printer, or "ink" manufacturer. Unless maybe you bought a defective design. Then you have a bit more obvious consumer case.
I'm going to ignore the copyright issue, because I won't allow anyone to tell me what I can make for my own personal use. And if everybody has a replicator, then I won't be selling to much of what I print, and designs will be P2P, making distribution a non-issue. As we progress, the machines will also be making the designs themselves. You going to pay royalties to a machine?
As a threat to interstate commerce? Kinda like telling the farmers they can't grow their own animal feed? If you think that self publishing artists are a threat to the industry, wait until you have everybody self replicating everything they need.
If you're trying to sell an ubiquitous consumer item, 500 is way too high for what it does and for the human effort it takes to produce and distribute. Now I understand that charging what the market will bear, as opposed as a ratio of cost of production is how your system works, but I don't agree with it.

How's a hologram going to take my appendix out?
Oh...
Didn't they promise us 50 launches a year with this thing? What ever became of that?
Is there an app for that?
So who are the bad guys?
Everybody.

Oops, nevermind.... You were still off by half a mil

Speculation, and playing the odds. It's in our blood. A smart booky will come out of this smelling like rose
Voting is irrelevant... It doesn't make a difference who amongst the democrats or republicans wins. Hasn't for a long time.
Shields Google from liability.

"Orders are orders", eh? It is the screeners who are executing bad policy. They are just as guilty as anybody else
Oh yeah... TSA and customs/immigration.. double your fun
Countries who do not accept international laws have no business sending people outside their own borders, period.
Absolutely! I expect the troops to be home for Christmas
