They can't arrest you for saying "Someone should shoot the president." They can, however, arrest you for saying "Bombcar, go shoot the president now" if there's reasonable likelihood that you'll do it.
Further, it isn't a concern. Want to know why?
Let's assume you're actually wanting to produce imminent action designed to overthrow the government. At this point, you've already decided to reject the laws of that government, and to fight against them. So it doesn't matter whether or not you're breaking law a (Brandenburg test) because you're already going to break law b.
And I would suggest that, if you're only willing to try to get other people to overthrow the government, but are not yourself willing to work to that end, that you're a bit of twit, and I could give a shit about legal protection for you.
Brandenburg ("The constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a State to forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.") In addition, there is case precedent allowing libel/slander charges to be applied to libelous/slanderous speech aimed at a defined group (e.g. African-Americans) as well as individuals.
I don't see that "Hate speech" isn't covered adequately by our existing law.
Webmail is a bad example, actually, because its an example of an application where webapps work adequately for most purposes. However, I've never seen a good web word processor, much less webCAD, and I never expect to.
Users will use what they are given, which is why they don't know the difference between 98 and XP, why they use webmail, and why they don't care about elegance. MS is smart enough to realize this, which is why they've been doing their best to avoid breaking compatibility, even at the expense of higher complexity and lower stability. A user will put up with an occasional crash, but break Word and he'll hate you forever.
It sort of requires more than one musician to do, after all. He relied on another musician, just like modern musicians rely on drum machines (in some cases).
Oh, another "Better live than on the album" group - Einsturzende Neubaten. Your username reminded me ("I am no man" is a quote (Virgil) from Dante's Inferno, and a couple members of Neubaten did a quite interesting radio drama version of the inferno called Radio Inferno.)
Ah. I was working off what I know of the Israeli parliamentary system, where the appropriate English word for alliances formed before an election is also coalition. Probably the appropriate English word here is still coalition; if there's no direct translation, then 'coalition' is certainly the one any English-speaker would use to refer to it.
You're thinking of something called a 'hidden-variable' theory. They've been (probably) proven to be inaccurate, as far as I can tell - not being a quantum physicist, there's a lot going on that confuses the hell out of me. However, do some googling on hidden variable quantum mechanics if you want to try to understand why this interpretation (initially fixed properties) is considered unlikely.
And we can stop right there. They won't. Consumers aren't always stupid, and when it comes to something like this, they're far more likely to be smart.
Until I see someone presenting a believable reason why a consumer would choose to buy throw-away DVDs, I have to believe no one will.
It is currently generally believed that there is no way to manipulate the particles in such a fashion as to allow usable information transfer at a FTL speed.
However, it can be used in conjunction with a classical communication channel to provide uneavesdroppable encryption.
I see you, and raise you the videocassette, the home video camera, the DVD, e-commerce, and online payment systems.
The videocassette and DVD? Both were driven by porn (VCR more than DVD, as DVD was more an evolution - but porn is one of the few users of "multiple angles"). Seriously, look at the history. Home video cameras? Amateur porn!
E-commerce was basically invented by porn. Online payment systems, the same.
Like it or not, porn does tend to drive some technology's adoption into the mainstream.
Except that because you can't control the transition that occurs, you still need a classical communications channel to communicate any actual information. Which is limited by lightspeed.
Actually, the primary brunt of MP3 focuses on perceptual coding; to put it simply, it uses a model of how important a given sound is based on its frequency and position in time. These 'importance' numbers are used to determine how much accuracy should be used to store the specific time/frequency you're looking at. More accuracy, more bits, less accuracy, less bits.
You're thinking of the video versions, which work the way you described (to my knowledge; they probably also do some perceptual stuff, but I'm not familiar with video perceptual coding).
For what its worth, I have heard some pretty good things about the Minneapolis music scene, and not in the Seattle sense - in the "there are good musicians who work hard and paly a good show in this town" sense.
No, see, the thing is that this page works fine in several browsers, just specifically not in Firefox. God only knows why. I'm too lazy to try to get our gigantic HR/IT complex to fix it.
Web apps are no better, even when written to standards; sooner or later the standard will change and the web app will break. This is true even if its an open standard - things change, things break. This is universal truth.
"I'm a capitalist, just like everyone else in this country. I asked for a certain amount of money, and they paid it to me because they know if they didn't, someone else would. If you asked for the same amount of money, they wouldn't have paid it to you, because no one else would."
Beethoven and Mozart also didn't play their own music, you'll note.
Bands that can play a song live and have it sound better than their album:
Midwest Product (*and* they're an electronic music act, to boot!) Yakuza Chicago Underground Duo/Trio/Quartet/however many of them there are at any given point in time Any Ken Vandermark project Techno Animal (though I don't think they're playing live any time soon) Numbers
There's 5 for you, of the top of my head, that I've seen in the past couple years. Sure, the manufactured pop artists aren't any good live - but they never have been. Listen to some real new music and then get off your fucking horse and admit that yes, these new kids can play - even if they're playing a drum machine.
OK, yeah, your shitty little form might be compatible for ever and ever and ever, but anything of any weight is going to break sooner or later because it will rely on Java, or something else,, and eventually that will break backwards compatibility.
Some fun examples of broken webapps - my company's internal time-tracking program won't run properly under Firefox, but runs fine under IE. It's a Java applet, and they both run the same Java VM, but Firefox never finishes loading it (at least, that's the apparent behavior - I have more important things to do, so I just use IE once a month when I need to take a vacation day).
Another fun broken webapp was my old University's online coursetools site, which for quite some time wouldn't load properly in Safari because of an ambiguity in how quotation marks were supposed to be handled.
Web apps will break sooner or later. Open source apps will break sooner or later.
Put sufficient memory on it and OS X runs just fine on a 400 MHz G3 (which is what I happen to run OS X on). Having 512 MB of memory makes a huge difference; OS X is memory hungry as all hell.
I would consider it just barely usable at 256 MB, and totally unusable at 128. The lack of memory on old systems is more likely to be causing that sluggishness than the processor.
A lot of hardware R&D now goes, not just into the actual hardware, but into the firmware and driver that are required to make the hardware work. And while it seems like a copout, there are often good reasons that a company wouldn't want to give its competitors access to the work that went into that firmware/driver. Any time a competitor can gain access to your expensive, paid for development, for less than you paid to develop it, a company is not likely to do so - unless, like OpenOffice/Linux/etc, there's enough likelihood of external development that your contribution earns you the right to use a lot of someone else's work. OSS only works corporately when the corporation says "If we put in X, we get to use software worth Y" where Y>X, often Y>>X. Unfortunately, in hardware this is rarely the case, as a competitor could just clone your circuits (not hard) and your openly released firmware, never improve the firmware except when you do, and sell the hardware cheaper than you can because they didn't have to fund any development of firmware/drivers.
In addition, there's the everpresent FCC bogie, which the companies that do wireless hardware use as a "Hey, if we give you totally unfettered access to the card's abilities, you could do something illegal with it, which would come back to haunt us". Unfortunately, they're probably right - it would come back to haunt them.
So, yeah, the idea that hardware is going to opensource its software is flawed, I think.

Imminent is the key word there.
