Look, I loved Crue back in the 80's (who didn't?) Me for one. Although I was always more into music like Pixies and punk and less mainstream. But yeah I agree with what you're sayin'. S'funny now the Crue is more a niche act now. the music I dug in the 80's, in turn, seems to get more exposure.
Does that mean in 20 years hair bands will rule again? I'm sure the ozone is cringing.
You're an idiot. I've done a lot of reading about anarchism and it's various sub-types. Humans are far too chaotic to adhere to such a system as anarchism. There is an irony there, based upon the pop culture definition of anarchism at least, I digress.
Community A has "setup shop" and is using land and building a society upon the shared use of property. All is well and good and they all get along. Community B comes about and says they have a birthright to use the land as they see fit, which may not get along with community A's established use. Community A suggests they are welcome to join in and share, but community B decides they'd rather wipe community A out, as they see community A's suggestion as a denial of "birthright" to the land.
Now in your Land of Make Believe you seem to reside in, community B would simply start helping out, but in reality things don't work that way.
Just because someone's parents couldn't use a fuckin' prophylactic does not, I'm sorry, grant them and like minded followers the right to wipe out others who don't see it that way.
As a species, we have no inherent rights. We're just another type of organism running around the planet like the other mammals. There is no guarantee of our survival, be it from disease or some fuck taking us out for our sneakers. By that rationale, I find your idea of "birthright" to be skewed if not outright bogus.
It's our capacity for thought above and beyond basic survival that has allowed us to evolve socially, technologically, etc. Based upon your, what I'm expecting is simply a bare bones testament of your ideology, we'd actually regress as a species.
In the linked FA it says neither insurers or employers can request, require or purchase records pertaining to someones genetic makeup.
However, like most DRM schemes, I'm sure a "hack" will be found soon.
What's lame is they don't even need to discontinue insurance based upon genetics. My step-fathers sister in law had her insurance dropped by her company (amongst others). Management told them straight up it was because they weren't "healthy enough." Of course on paper it was for different reasons (cost reductions I believe.).
But that would mean making a potentially socially *devastating* move once Pownce is finally sucked all the way down the drain. She'd have to spend ALL that time going back to Twitter and looking like a twit
Yes that way all the tax dollars not wasted on court time with Jack Thompson can be thrown down some other black hole with nothing useful to show for it.
As for Nintendo.. well lets just say the wiimote isn't going to get me a shorter lap time in Gran Turismo... That would be an especially neat trick though, seeing as how it isn't being released for the Wii in the first place.
I would imagine thanks to AJAX, Flash, Javascript everywhere and the whole Web 2.0 "paradigm" people on a whole, not just average, us more bandwidth than before.

I think you COULD have a good story based MMO. Not at first, but over time. My idea is as such...
1. Make WoW with an open static world.
2. Create toolset letting players write adventures (ala NWN)
3. Release game to masses
4. ???
5. Profit111!!
I suppose next you'll try to convince everyone that Al Gore did in fact NOT invent the Internet.
Careful downloading those, you will hit your ISP cap
That font seems to be pissing me off.
Talk about sites the US Gov should shut down. Facebook and MySpace are up there too.
You can still do something stupid and make money at the same time.

Meanwhile, as this swirls the drain, people will still continue to pirate music. That's right, spend your billions on failures.
Land "exists" despite humans, true. But both land ownership rights and IP are ideas created by humans.

This is simply more feel good legislation.
Seriously does Robonauts "head" remind anyone of Boba Fett? That cannot be a coincidence. They should rename it Robo Fett

To offer a different argument, that it isn't a "publicity stunt"...
/. account shut down?
Her mommy chimed in saying that supposedly it's a real life stalker that is pestering her
That said, my opinion is she is a bit of an attention whore. Oops is she going to try to get my
Anyone could look those specs up on Intel's site. What about the TOTAL power consumption including power supplies, cooling, hard drives, etc
like pirating it's not identity theft, you still have it, it's just someone has fraudulently used it and fucked you over.
identity theft is simply a more emotionally threatening a tagline
I always preferred playing "Geek, Dweeb, or Spazz?".
If you're talkin' about LotR, I think the ending was pretty well known ~53 years ago.

If you're talking strictly about the monetary economics, then I think what we really need to do is rethink the world's concept of economics.
At SOME point the bullet has to bitten as far as cost goes somewhere. Oil and coal aren't going to stick around for ever.
It was there on some small level back towards the Civil War era. It hit critical mass, IMO, after the Depression and FDR's New Deal.
Oops
