Agreed - and your message is often understood, but ignored. Having had lots of free content "borrowed" by others, it doesn't usually seem to be the case that they're moved to include attribution or stop editing someone else's creative work or refrain from "repurposing" it with abandon. A sizable number of people just don't want to stop doing whatever they want with anything they find on the 'net.
From TFA:
Though they meticulously credit their sources, bowing to more traditional rules for blog attribution, and work to add at least some original content, usually over half of their material comes from other sources.
You may be trolling, or perhaps under the impression that most everyone does "like" either or any party - and I certainly don't. Whatever your motive, I'd ask others who read this if they can imagine Janet Reno, Ed Meese or even John Mitchell saying anything comparable to "But it can't be the case that that [Constitutional] right trumps over the right that Americans would like to see..."
Upper management in the US is about schmoozing and personality.
...which has its place. There's far too much dead weight and tin-god cronyism, but the need for successful human interaction is crucial (i.e. there's "good schmoozing," and then there's bad "schmoozing" ??)
"Theoretically," says Azim Premji, chairman and founder of India outsourcing company Wipro Ltd., "anything on a network can be managed remotely from India^H^H^H^H^HNeptune."
Calveley wrote on his Web log that his crusade is revenge for an "annoyingly slow" book delivery from Amazon. He used the blog to raise the $2,520 reexamination fee.
Dang - is that all it took? I'd be willing to throw some ad-click revenue toward getting some of these other ridiculous patents "reexamined"...
(Irritating, but predictable, that someone has to pay, and the USPTO can't take the initiative to reexamine extremely controversial patents otherwise.)
You seem to be trolling, or maybe you just posted without taking a moment to think. But still...
There is comparative knowledge inferred by the parent's "It is better to live free than die a slave." Those unfortunate people who never have that awareness could end their existence, or not, and it doesn't address that quoted statement at all. Substitute sex or ancestry in that quote, and your logical fallacy leaps right out.
The OP said nothing equivalent to "publicly". You added that.
I don't think
To paraphrase you - why would the OP care what you think? When you react to a common rhetorical flourish as if it's meant literally, it makes your responses seem no more incisive than "yah, but so are you."
Fanboy's correct. "Rather narrow" is a value judgement.
It seems as though you're talking about convenience, not a mandatory edict. If you intend to say "effectively compulsory" or "all but compulsory", do it. Reasonably sane or not, the word still means what it means.
I'm really not intending to copy-edit the manner in which you or anyone would choose to express their opinions. Lately it's seemed more obvious to me that/. has an international userbase with a wide range of writing experience and comfort levels. I want to comprehend what you want to say, and not what I think you probably meant.
There are others who will rationalize their capricious, personal redefinition of words from complaints such as yours. And there's people here who are not as fluent in one of the more common permutations of English... (Doing some editing for a South American writer has been enlightening, since I tend to take so many subtle clichés and alternate meanings of words 'en Ingles' for granted.)
At least for some of us, the "outrage" is a reaction to changes in the US government's priorities - not some inborn fear of reliable identification. Compare today's restrictions and prohibitions with the political landscape and climate of 1990. The war on anonymity has resulted in laws and abuses of executive power that are well beyond what most people expected, IMHO. The overarching power of corporations' short-term interests is more brazen and pervasive. There is apparently no limit on what our lawmakers can force into place if "it's for the children" or "it's necessary in the fight against terrorism."
Thanks, Matt - that tour is the very first example to came to mind, here. (Well before P2P took off.) There was shock and amazement at those ticket prices...
You're not the only one creeped out. "Train" is the not the verb I'd use when the instructional aspect is unintended - but it saddens me to see gruesome murder (and particularly torture) depicted in extravagant detail - in mainstream entertainment media. Freedom of expression is crucial, and I aggressively defend others' rights to create fictional books, movies, music, games etc. with elements that I find to be despicable. No sure-fire way exists to protect rugrats and the pathologically impressionable from contemplating actions which are sadistic or felonious. It's hard to extrapolate a happy ending for this progression.
let's face it you (and I) are too lazy to do the work
Speak for yourself.

Speak for yourself.
Business clothes aren't any more expensive than jeans, and if you don't count trade show handouts, button down shirts can be had for the same price as a printed tee.
I don't know where you shop, or if you're under the impression that all/. readers are in your country... anyway, speak for yourself.
Opinions are potentially more interesting than assumptions. Or blanket statements.
...and forced into cinemas to watch brain-watching movies.
These are often on the basic cable "health" channels here. My brain watches somebody else's exposed brain, and mine is watched by ratings-collecting brains, who are watched by management brains... (uh.)
If that is happening, then obviously HR is working counter to the best interests of the company.
That's stunningly commonplace. Having just slogged through the job-hunt process after 11 years with the same employer, I would never have believed how many IS managers are tolerating what you conclude.

I resemble that remark. (Even ended up working with a III system later in '82, though not doing anything nearly as interesting with it...)
Yeah, the dialogue is awful (though not as bad as The Black Hole), but the look and soundtrack are still inspiring. As another poster said, this film was ahead of its time - by at least a good twenty minutes...
