Son, why don't you find yourself a book of tort case law (there are some online). As you pull your finger out of your rump-hole, you just might note vast majority of cases arise from contracts (no surprise).
What's up with the modding you up? Idiots' convention here on Slashdot?
You're pretty sure? You're a friggin' idiot. It's called contract law. Tort damages. Faith in reliance.
Unfortunately, the irony of this is that the internet allows idiots who don't know what the FRAK they're talking about, to post. And having a bunch of friggin' idiots chattering, instead of an informed citizenry, allows abusive major corporations to get away with ignoring the Law.
Ballot box? Bullet box? Your head proves the present need for the latter.
Someone's already said this too, but it seems obvious. Don't trust the Politburo. Simple. Don't trust a root server run by the Politburo. Then implement DNSSec.:)
I personally think this is more idiocy, but do you mind citing one or two actual companies "shut down" by DMCA? Just to show you're not making this up *entirely* ?
Down here in the US, we have come to believe that Freedom of Speech is a French concept. On which grounds we are planning to eliminated it, along with pommes frites, as soon as possible.
The problem (conveniently illustrated by the below) is that your Windows software, is not under your control. You're a sharecropper, and if the people making the software go away, you're shit out of luck.
You say it works well, but without the internals, you think it works well-- until it blows up. You think it works well-- because, likely, you don't know enough computing to alter what's inside the black box and make it work better.
P.S. "Whatever works best" "for a particular application..." is a warning-bell phrase:)
You are assuming that people were using VBA Macros in Excel (etc).
This decision, like many in a Swiss canton, was directly tied to whining capacity. And the biggest whiners, also happen to be the people with corner offices who, primarily, use PowerPoint, because they can't write a paragraph.
These people, in any 'migration,' should be left with a Windoze option.
Oh come on. This is not a mechanism. This is a joke, except it's not. The "prior art" is called "polling the body." It goes like this:
"Hello people. Would you like to march over the river, or through the mountains? Raise your hands if mountains. Oh, you slaves in the back-- don't bother raising your hands, I know you're slaves. Oh-- General What'syourname. Yes thank you for the campaign contribution. Well yes, of course, the mountains sound good, but... Senator Moneymoneymoneybags, good to see you again! Yes, that was some fun hunting on your ranch last week! How's the wife? Oh, don't worry about the spear-in-my-arse thing, anyone can make a bad throw... river? Why of course! Everyone's all right with the river today, which Senator Moneymoneymoneybags here who voted for a chariot and food for everyone in the Imperial Guard wants us to do, right? Everyone? "
And turn the iStereo off of NPR? No more sleepDriving? Worst of all, I can't continue to have the FireHose delivered in ASCII code electrical pulses to my aural cortex?
Aspen, Colorado. From her weekend ranch home here, and apparently not satisfied with the current scope of her salary, RIAA President Cary Sherman declared she hopes to further criminalize copyright violations to include stoning of users of illegal content found on sites such as YouTube and RapidShare. "The RIAA would strongly prefer informal agreements inked with intermediaries such as YouTube, allowing their site admins the privilege of throwing the first stone. We're working on [discussions with broadband providers], and we'd like to extend this kind of relationship--not just to ISPs, but [also to] search engines, payment processors, advertisers...[If] legislation is an appropriate way to facilitate that kind of cooperation, fine. But we intend to sell video of each stoning on a pay-for view basis. We'd prefer voluntary agreements with these partners and not need to enact broader stoning laws without their cooperation, which would save them from being stoned themselves, of course," she declared.
Oh come on. This is easier to avoid than using glitter to fool mass face recognition.
That is, to have much value, working "at 50 meters," this is a mass detection system. You have to analyze hundreds if not thousands of targets, to known profiles. How do you fool it? Calcium is cheap, real cheap.
Exaggerated? You're off the board of reason ability!
It is rather unlikely that any French legislative body is going to be concerned with basic nudity. It is equally unlikely that anyone is going to be talking about an extradition treaty with Iran, over civil matters, any time soon.
But if you create a website hosted in the UK, who's intent is to sell Nazi memorabilia to France, there's at least an argument that France should be able to ask the UK to consider curtailing that activity.
As for "zero representation and zero voice..." exactly how many UK citizens have voting rights in France? A half million? It's not like you're starring across the channel waiting for invasion at any moment!
You're talking about the US, and the answer is yes. As well as petty and trite, and above all, ready to enjoy the spectacle of destroying a high public figure by any means possible.
Your example is odd, though I'd take a bet that there are languages where modification of the adjective and not the noun is appropriate.
In many or most languages, there would need to be accordance between both the substantive noun, and the adjectives, including in general: Des Avocats Rouges et Bleus, for example.
The major confusion here seems to stem from what you say, that they are 'general attorneys,' where general is the adjectival modifier, but the older form where the adjective follows the noun is preserved, 'attorneys general,' which can both sound a little odd and make the reader think that the entire phrase 'attorney general' is the substantive, as in a compound formulation such as 'attorney-general'.
And of course, you refer to 'correct english,' a rather schoolmarmish concept. Exactly whom are you referring to?
Google Wave stands or fails on its features and merits. And the Wave idea is actually incrementally seeping in across the Google suite of products, so the original article is simply... silly (stupid!).
In regards to the original topic, "Revolutionary" change, especially in software, is often remarkably... effective in sweeping away the ghosts of the past which weigh upon the minds of the present.
As an example of this strategy, a frustrated developer wrote Wang’s second generation e-mail system (Wang Office) over a long weekend. In his view–and he was right–the official spec meetings were taking too long. So he decided to cut through the bullshit and just code the thing (he’d designed Wang’s first generation e-mail system, Mailway, so he knew what he was doing). He sent out the new code to several large accounts, they loved it, and started calling headquarters asking, “We have the checkbook out–how do we buy this great e-mail system?” Back at headquarters, everyone (except for Steve) was going, “Huh, what are you talking about?” Once management realized that (1) customers wanted to buy it now and (2) doing it the “official” way would take another 18 months, they swallowed their pride, shot the official project, and gave Steve a small official slap while privately lauding his initiative.

You forgot the bit about guaranteeing security, for free, for the better part of the last century.
Some people might call it guaranteeing security. Others might call it establishing a proxy empire in Europe and elsewhere and reaping the economic and other benefits of a system of satellite states under subjugation.

I'm repeating what someone has already said-- but why do we not have reasonable protection (security) against this, at the browser level?
Because every pirate site is within US jurisdiction, of course!

I say the US invades Afghanistan with portable boner scanners and... everyone they find.

The way people spoke on national TV was the way I learned to speak, and made sure I spoke. I never complained about this.

Just depends on how you look at it.
