So, it's wrong to put the burden of proof upon the taxpayer as to what they owe?
Absolutely, if the government claims you owe money, they damn well better provide the documents. Your banks and employers send it all in every month. They are the ones who should do all the paperwork. That's one of the things my taxes should pay for. Internal Revenue Service, not litigators.
Yay for good old fashion cart machines! Betacart comes to mind. Rube Goldberg is making a comeback.
And considering what a bust the longevity of the CD was, and the players even worse, the best you can say for it will be its high entertainment value watching it operate, and malfunction spectacularly.
...won't change until our nation's useless politicians do something about it.
"Useless" politicians will never do anything about it. It's up to you to elect more useful ones that might. Otherwise forget about it, and stop blaming the winners. They're just following orders.
Which of course sucks... American individuals have to pay taxes on money they earn living outside the border. Why shouldn't these people? Don't answer, the question is rhetorical. If they want to be an American corporation, they should pay American taxes. But... we will do nothing to elect people that would write the appropriate laws. Therefore this article is meaningless. Nothing will come of it, except some advertising revenue.
Yeah, and they are right. 10,000 watts sucks a hell of a lot more than 1600.
And why should they start rationing over there now when they got those solar panels all over the place? Next to go will be indoor plumbing because it's more efficient to just empty your pisspot out the window, if you don't live in the basement...
Without copyright, the end users would be in a much worse position since manufacturers could use any freely released code in any way they see fit with no obligation to their end users at all.
The part that none of you are getting is that said manufacturers have no exclusive rights over what they put out. So anybody could just as easily take that and incorporate it into whatever they are making. The problem is solved. The lawyers are the only losers in such a scenario. Without copyright GPL is totally unnecessary. And we'll just cruise along perfectly nicely. It's time to end the age of antiquity. It's over, Johnny, it's over...
The patent troll exists only because the patent system exists... You can't fix what is "broken" by design. It's time for complete utter abolition. And copyright too! Pure corruption, all of it...
Well, maybe the idea is that the vehicle can determine which obstacle is the softest and aim for that one, preserving the safety of the occupants, which should be its primary purpose, I guess.
First thing to remember is that humans are just as much a part of nature as anything else, merely the dominant species on the planet. I prefer patience.. Everything is still evolving, maybe even the laws of nature itself.
Yeah well, let's see if fiber doesn't develop a serious case of cataract in 20 or 30 years. The stuff is still too sensitive. What was good enough for grandpa, and when you need robust.. and, when you want to transmit power over the same line, you have a hard time beating copper.
Extremely. They even exchange bodily fluids, through a protective revolving door of course. It is industry that creates governments, to enforce rules of business, and to take back half the money they pay us to fund all these great projects.
If they see themselves on the winning side, they'll want even more war. They get to leave the war zone, the refuges are stuck. A week will teach nothing. They need to know years of war and what it does.
Prices should have been going down all these years, but we let the financial markets drive the economy. It's like a rain forest canopy of money, all flowing over our heads with barely a trickle down
The article is a Troll... for repeal of the 1st Amendment, should a constitutional convention ever come to town.
Mass media is really trying to shut down the competition, They want to require licenses to print and post, copyright's next big leap, and it also helps to control whistleblowers, conspiracy theorists, truthers and nutters. Unfortunately, people will go for it, convinced it will bring peace and prosperity.
It doesn't matter what trolls do. In a print media like this, they are too easy to ignore. People need to control their reactions. What we are looking at is an attempt to censor and control who can say what. This is no different than the FCC's "seven dirty words". We needs the trolls to make the rules unenforceable. All the freedoms we have now are because of the troublemakers.

We still let bureaucrats choose today's emperors. We are living Greco-Roman antiquity, but with faster chariots, and less horse crap in the streets.

Why should US collect taxes on non-US activities?
Because they can, and there is insufficient resistance to stop them.
So what? You still have to file. That is wrong.

Licensing is more complex than program itself. Everybody's getting sucked in to the lawyers' game.

I guess we oughta just nuke the planet then.
Don't try to "fathom" anything. Just turn off automatic updates, and you'll be a bit safer.
Replace ???? with zero all debts. Done.
In fact we should do that now anyway.

People are just becoming bigger wimps. Oh so sensitive! Somebody is really trying to push censorship here.
Everybody should have one
