"Isn't it clear that BitTorrent wasn't designed with copyright infringement in mind?"
Not at all. For one, banning tools like P2P clients just because some people are using them for illegal activities is silly. If that's the path we are going down, why don't we ban stuff like knives and guns? Or PCs. Or the Internet!
No no no. He said it was clear that BitTorrent wasn't designed with copyright infringement in mind. And that's why copyright infringers should use something else. Because it is sub-optimal for stealing. The distributors (supernova or whatever) will be wide open targets.
Darwin's birds?? those were finches right?? And the other species, those were finches too?? they weren't doves, or hawks, or gila monsters??
I find that q-tips dipped in rubbing alcohol are the easiest way to clean sticky keys. Simply straighted a paper clip, hook it under your "?" key, and pop it off. Then, apply rubbing alcohol to dissolve whatever was causing the stickiness, and use a dry q-tip to wipe it clean.
There is slow change coming in the LP. I think some enlightened people in the party are struggling against the lunatics that want to privatize and abolish everything in sight. The LP platform is getting rewritten so it doesnt read like a anarchist's cookbook, and I think Badnarik is going to be the "last of the old guard" type libertarians to run.
That's exactly why I said that if we ever have a Libertarian president, I'd want it to be Badnarik. I would trust him to maintain his principles. When I hear Libertarians saying things like you say here, I get terrified that all you're talking about is reduced taxation and social welfare. That's the last 25% of the Libertarian platform that I ever want to see. Sure, we can do all that stuff too. After we end corporate welfare. Not before.
Grr.

I really want someone to make a bumper sticker or flag that looks like a gay pride rainbow, except the colors are gyorvb rather than roygbv.
He looks like he's struggling to stay upright in that sofa thing.
Anyway, I think he presented himself better in the/. interview. Here he just repeats over and over the most basic concepts of Libertarianism. Which is mildly compelling, but the specifics are way more interesting.
And if there was ever a massive sea change in American politics that made the Libertarian Party suddenly have a viable shot at the presidency, Badnarik is the Libertarian that I would want. Not because I like or dislike Libertarians in general, but because he seems like an honest, swell guy, and I wouldn't think he'd pander to special interests. I'd trust him not to do a pro-corporate hack job of libertarianism.
Whenever anyone else talks about "deregulation" it winds up being some horseshit.
If you don't want Cygwin, you can quite easily use ActiveState Perl, which some people prefer to Cygwin Perl on Windows.
Oh. Cool. Apache is no problem. Cygwin was the only hurdle I wasn't willing to jump. I hadn't read your whole cookbook, but it certainly does seem like it requires Cygwin, whether or not you use ActiveState Perl.
MediaWiki rules over all wikis in terms of feature set. Well, MediaWiki & TWiki.
They won't fly on Windows. Well, with Apache & Cygwin maybe. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
So we're left with, what, FlexWiki and OpenWiki. FlexWiki is exceedingly new & lacking in features, while OpenWiki is exceedingly old and lacking in attention.
If FlexWiki ever gets 0.5% of the feature set of MediaWiki, then yes, Wikis may very well take over the world. 'Till then it'll just be for you Lunix hippies. I am so jealous.
You can either compare senators to each other, or to some other arbitrary descriminator of liberalness, centristness, or conservativeness.
You can count or not count no-votes, which is also a totally arbitrary choice. How you count no-votes is totally arbitrary. Voting records are important, but they're really not the most important way to guage what's going on in congress.
If some dude doesn't vote because he's the only communist in the senate, and knows his vote will lose, then that doesn't mean he's less communist. Obviously. For important bills, everyone knows how everyone else would vote, long before the vote is called.
And DeLay's streamlining bill passage in the house is a much bigger deal anyway. The whole no-amendments-in-the-general-assembly thing is fucked up, and means that you will constantly get people voting for things that they do not support or against things that they do support. I think. I guess I say that without being sure.
No, it is not a new record, and no, there's no reason whatsoever to think that it's exceptional.
Why would you think that clickthroughs on a story would take a while to reach full load? They wouldn't. The most people would click on a story in the first moment of its appearance on the front page. That amount would slowly taper.
It would certainly take less than the 20 seconds for you to make your brilliant comment.
Interviewer: With the cable companies in bed with the studios, TiVo could be the last line of defense for the DVR as we know it.
Lawyer: Sometimes I feel that way. We're aware of the danger, and the slippery slope. The danger is that DRM can tilt the balance of copyright so that ultimately there's no concept of fair use, because the content owners dictate what the rules are. But I think content owners are beginning to recognize that if you make things too restrictive, then consumers will find nonlegal ways to achieve what they want.
And boy, did Google's auction do an excellent job of avoiding the IPO roller coaster.
In their two and a half months, they started at 100 points, and moved kindof smoothly up to 180. Lord only knows if that's due to irrational exuberance or not, but it's not due to IPO bullshit.
But using your phone may mean your bandwidth doesn't work.
In my old apartment, the DSL connection would be fubar for about 30-90 seconds after a phone call. Yes, we had filters on all the phones. No, we didn't have VoIP.
I don't know what I'm talking about, but someone who did told me that "intent" is too high a burden for most plaintiffs to bear. The only people that can afford to prove intent are attys general. Insurance companies can't even afford it.
Dunno what "intent" is required for, but I think something relating to it might need to be added to your list.
I'm sorry, I said that without knowing what I was talking about.
Whether abortion kills another human person has no bearing on my beliefs about abortion. It does have bearing on Roe v. Wade.
A different premise would allow abortion to be treated in law on the same terms as any other act of killing.
I don't know enough about constitutional law to agree or disagree with that. Personally, I do consider abortion similarly to any other act of killing. And I believe that anti-abortion legislation is an infringement of human rights.
In situations where the mother is at risk,
Risk of what? I believe your answer may be arbitrary. What risks would you force all women to bear?
discretion would have to be granted to doctors; it would essentially be a triage.
I don't know what you mean by this. Triage on what basis? Obviously, in my opinion, giving sufficient discretion to doctors would be permitting elective abortion. I apologize if I've chopped up your sentences too closely.

2.) The example styles included did not have a grey option.
No joke. The first response is always "Why is that green?" or "That font is too big." or "Can't we use Times New Roman?"
"Can I see that icon in cornflower blue?"
Thanks. That's very helpful.
