Obviously copyright is the most important issue of our time. Look at how much went into ACTA/SOPA/PIPA/CISPA and how little is going into fixing our education, healthcare, research and poverty issues.
The software you put on the machine should be signed. So long as you use signed software the whole thing is a no-op for you. If you want to install a Linux distro that has not been signed with Microsoft's keychain, however, you'll have to either turn off secure boot or install that distro's key into the UEFI.
I don't think "Give me your tired, your poor..." was ever said out of the goodness of the nation's collective heart. It was said at a time where we had factories that needed workers. Now we have workers that need factories.
Well, in your previous examples the students aren't really getting all this with zero cost to them, just zero direct cost. They make up for that by either higher taxes or lower service levels or lower payouts to those that own the property or teach the classes. (Almost exclusively higher taxes though.) Often it's more difficult for those students to get into a university.
Not saying we shouldn't be better supporting our students, just that a simplistic view can't possibly see all of the factors.
I actually brought this up at lunch today and all of my coworkers were very much in the "disturbing" camp. I was surprised since I find it rather interesting. I guess I really am that weird.
Republicans were screaming that something had to be done. And while the intervention was occurring, they suddenly cared deeply about undeclared wars and demanded he stop.
Doing something about an oppressive regime is not equivalent to an undeclared war flying in the face of a Congress that is demanding the President at least address the War Powers Act before continuing.
under a billion dollars... none of the men sent to do it suffering so much as a purple nurple
Preventing injury to our troops and keeping war cheap is not the purpose of the War Powers Act despite what Obama seemed to think.
I believe ATT knows about these things called IMEI numbers and in the past has used them to stop people from buying prepaid phones to replace broken phones instead of having to resign a contract.
So let's say you have a loaf of bread and in front of you stands Bill Gates and a homeless man.
As a humanitarian is it right to charge each of them $5 for that bread or is it better to charge the homeless man $1 or $0 and Bill Gates $20? As a capitalist would it maximize your profits to charge each of them $5 or would it be better to charge the homeless man $1 or $0 and Bill Gates $20?
And car companies do get more from Hertz when Hertz buys the car Well, more accurately, the car company gets a much more reliable customer.
Hearing a CD may be more likely to get you more sales. If you're in a club and the DJ plays a really good song do you go ask the DJ what that song was? Does he announce what he just played? No, not really. If you're listening to the radio, however, they do attribute the songs they play.
I agree that this is a good data point, but hopefully both sides of the issue will carefully weigh such things as whether illegal guns from Colombia and Brazil continue to make it into the hands of the criminals.
For example, Australia's gun ban was extremely effective because it's very hard to get a gun into the country. A gun ban in the United States would have quite the problem with Mexico and Canada both being avenues for smuggling, Canada because the border is rather porous, so the risk of being caught is lower and Mexico because the poverty and crime would mean the value of the crime is higher.
Actually, if you make it to the hospital there's something like a 95% survival rate on gunshot wounds. They don't tend to do much internal damage if they miss the lungs and heart and even on a perforated lung you can survive quite a while. Individual stabbings tend to do more damage because a slashing motion on removal can tear up a lot of fleshy parts.
I wonder if statistics show that people who feel they live in a dangerous area are more likely to live in a dangerous area? I wonder if statistics show that people who feel they live in a dangerous area are more likely to obtain a firearm? I wonder if those statistics could be related to the debate.

Dammit, people, that was meant to be Funny, not Insightful!
That's numberwang!

Yes, because it's completely impossible to fake up your registration details.
RH considered this but decided that they don't want to take on the job of vetting all those downstream distros that want to use their key.

You're assuming they're putting the price tag on the item in this case. I did say it's difficult to do...

The theory is that we have plenty of talent to fill the 20k-90k/yr jobs and don't want to dilute that market for current residents and citizens.
Nuclear research is easy. Good software design is hard.
(This statement meant to be both more and less tongue-in-cheek than you expect.)
Well, of course. At this rate it's only 17 years until we're all perfect in science!

True, but it's not like bitcoins are expensive. It's like $2 to get a namecoin and you keep it forever, no?
You could move to namecoin. (Not trolling, I swear.)
Wow, that's lower than I expected.
Not sure if troll or lack of sense of humor...
The joke is that Romney is so bland he's more "vanilla" than the default SSIDs.
Home Depot is entirely within their rights to but it's extremely difficult to enforce so they don't. It's not worth it to try.
