Jazz, a truly American genre combining European and African roots, is the epitome of evolution, and NIN? Please! Learn to write or STFU... The only thing shining here is your arrogance. I mean that in the nicest possible way.
Hmmm... I believe I was supposed to reply to the post above yours...
Too late:-) So sorry
Either way, I don't see "intellectual property" as being too far off base for the sake of argument. I think people who argue for the distinction are simply using it as a distraction from the main issue of the privilege to control how something is distributed and used
...should be able to profit from their work for the rest of their life.
Then I'm entitled to the same benefits. I want mileage royalties on every car I fixed back in 1973 for the rest of my life. A penny per mile will be sufficient...
No such thing. There are only unique combinations of what already exists. And more often than not, more than one person will independently come up with the same combination, which only further illustrates the absurdity of copyright, patent, and trademark law...
Since we're talking about things that are fictional, does this mean I can't put Christian and Muslim (two separate systems if there ever was) under the subject of... "religion", "beliefs", "faiths"...?

Nothing "stupid" about it. You just consider any challenge at all a direct assault on your rights when there is none. In some places your weapons just aren't appropriate when it introduces unnecessary risk. In your absolutism you just can't accept that. Just like your fanaticism over property rights. It makes you irrational, and when armed, it makes you dangerous... Save it for when you're out hunting warthogs with your drinking buddies.. Wouldn't want you going off just because you had a few and some brat is kicking the back of your seat or the service gets a little slow. Unless you've had many years of training, don't expect me to have confidence you can control yourself when we hit a bump. Keep the Clint Eastwood fantasies to yourself... Don't make it mine.. It's bad enough I have to put up with the idiots you vote into office.
:-) Too fuckin' easy...I just wanted to give you an out from the gist of the message. You swallowed it whole... while ignoring the meat.. No dessert for you!

What's RKBA? Oh.. nevermind... you apparently got me wrong there, too. You're a real pip there, Edith
Given the statistics in airline history, the risk/benefit ratio indicates that it would be best to check yer gun and explosives at the door.
We don't need armed people on airliners in a Mexican standoff... The history of cockpit invasion goes way back. The biggest problem since the first time it happened is the damn airlines' resistance to securing the cockpit with something stronger than a paper door. It is absolutely inexcusable that the government didn't mandate it from the beginning.
Sorry for the second reply. I realize we are talking about different individuals, but they are in the same party with no voice of their own. That's not acceptable.
Their "clarification" is only a result of the negative reaction. His real feelings haven't changed one bit. He's a crackpot. These are politicians who are merely adjusting their statements to make their gruel appear more palatable. Once they get in, all bets are off. And besides, the Greens draw up some very strange alliances with some very corrupt parties in other countries. Anything for the win... Don't trust them.
We will make more announcements on that in the near future...
What, he can't speak for himself? Why's he holding out? Ask him whether he would ever demand mandatory "access". He sounds more like the Borg. He has no voice of his own. The "collective" speaks for him. That's a show stopper. I'm not interested in party positions. I want to know his position.
I noticed the proposals for legislation of water allotments (rationing) in your link. Not one mention of desalination to provide an unlimited supply in there. This is what I'm talking about. They want to control what they have now instead of tapping vast new resources that go largely untouched. The position speaks mainly in platitudes. Very little in there on specifics. All boilerplate stuff.
Like virtually all political parties that speak from a position of weakness, they talk the talk. As soon as they acquire real power, you will find their platform will change significantly when that power comes under threat.
All I can say is good luck. It will be needed when dealing in party politics. Little, if any headway can be made under such a system. In fact regression is usually the norm.

A song is born...
When? I need an example. What new trends have there been over the last 60 years that really stand out? Aside from the decibel levels?

Then what term can we use to mean "unrestricted in any form"? Plagiarism issues aside for the moment..

Simple public domain will do...

Oh Please! Somebody stop me!

If you are interested in the 'Cyber-War'. Forget China, head to Wall Street.
Why should Americans have all the fun? Could be Chinese bots... I hear they like money, also...

Maybe Doggie Howser M.D. (Medical Dog) is on his HMO's list of approved physicians...
It would require implanting a metal screw into your hip... next to what looks like a U-bolt
This should get you flagged for special treatment
Sorry folks... I'm suffering Slashdot's Editor Syndrome..
...We are developing the ability to forecast "space weather", thus leading to a new field, astrometeorology...
Does this mean we've finally given up on trying to forecast earth weather? Time to start up the The Old Atronaut's Almanac

Go for the Greens? I don't think so.. Not as long as they harbor people like this..

Yeah, that way you can corrupt a thousand files for the price of one.
All that effort spent trying to keep my drives cool gone to waste... Can't we move beyond magnetic.. into subspace or positronic or something?
