They are high priority, but that doesn't mean they can override the constituion. For example, the URAA including retroactively pulling works out of the public domain and was the implementation of an international treaty. Congress doesn't have the authority to pass such an act, even if it's part of a treaty. Treaties do no allow Congress to expand beyond their enumerated powers.
You seem to think that Antigua can't set their copyright law within their borders. They can, and the only reason they don't is because of international treaties that have been shoved down their throat which threaten trade sanctions. Since the US doesn't want to respect those same kinds of treaties, Antigua is not going to respect them either.
If a nation decides they don't want to give authors handouts, that's their own damn business. That being thugs about has become the norm doesn't make it okay.
It's a bullshit argument that's been debunked a hundred times before being stated by a 'think tank' that is funded by interested parties. The headline might as well be "Major ISPs bitch about Netflix using it's influence to force them to play fair, make up bullshit about paying more."
On the other hand, there's a good chance you are actually paying for ESPN even if you don't have cable or sattelite, since they add a fee to affiliated ISPs.
In this day and age, average joes are content providers. You may have heard of sites like Youtube and Facebook, where people often upload video. HD camcorders are becoming commonplace, and videoconferencing may become more commonplace once the internet stops sucking so much.
It's perhaps the most well known denial over a grossly mistaken and horribly forced definition of a term. Roughly the same thing came to my mind as well.
Mass adoption means that the price difference will be smaller, but it's still a difference, and there are limitations to how much that can bridge the gap.
It's going to be quite a difficult battle. You can look at flatscreens and CRTs and see how it'd end up being cheaper in the long run, since it uses a lot less material. The economies of scale were just needing to catch up. A touchscreen is a screen with some added mechanism that allows touch input. New display technology may allow for touchscreens to be made cheaper than current non-touch screens, but non-touch screens using the same technology would still be cheaper. Even in the extremely unlikely scenario that some new display technology is bother cheaper and innately touch sensitive, it would be cheaper to not manufacture the input processing parts. It's like an XL shirt being cheaper than a S or power windows being cheaper than manual. Unless there is an ungodly difference in the number manufactured, it's not going to happen. And there are plenty of screens that won't be touch sensitive, such as large TV screens.
No, switching to the metric system in this context means formally saying that they use the metric system, at least if it's the context in which the US is part of that small group along with Liberia and Burma. Apparently, people in the UK often still describe their weight in stones. There are also popular units that are familiar to people regardless of the system it comes from. A 2 liter is a familiar volume to at least Americans, and even if we were to formally adopt the metric system and go completely crazy and prohibit imperial labeling, people would still buy gallonh jugs of milk, even if they are labeled 3.78 liters. Anyone who plays electric guitar is using a 1/4" jack. Ammunition is measured in all kinds of crazy ways including the popular 9mm, and compatiblity demands that they will always be widely available, So, the number of countries that have completely dropped non-metric systems is probably zero, and those that haven't is certainly far greater than three.
Except kids in school learn the metric system and most things sold have metric labels on them. That's where people talking about this stuff end up sounding stupid to me. The US changing to metric would be a mere formality, because there are certain things that are already in metric, and there's other stuff that's got at least decades of legacy to deal with.
I've read an article on the matter that seemed to shine some light on the subject. Men were shown a series of women's faces and asked to rank them, and women were shown a series of men's faces and asked to rank them. Men went very consistently for those with very feminine traits, basically trended towards the end of the scale. Women, on the other hand, tended towards men with a mix of masculine and feminine traits. I believe the stated reasons were concerns that hypermasculine men weren't intelligent, reliable, or faithful, and there's also the evolutionary incentive of picking a male that will produce good offspring. If a woman has a daughter by a man that has few feminine traits, the daughter will be closer to the middle, and thus less desirable than the daughter she could have by a man with a good mix of feminine traits.
Perhaps he just prefers to post anonymously. Perhaps he has or may have future employers that might take objections to this statement. Perhaps he didn't feel it was worth logging in for. Perhaps he just likes pissing off people who don't like people posting as AC.
Obviously you should go with a passworded archive. Then it has to be opened, and can't be opened until the password is given. You could even put some other data in there to make it hard to know the size of the file until opened.
There are plenty of laws that aren't enforced, and there isn't a constitutional obligation to press charges. A couple of the Republicans running on the policy that there are obscenity laws that weren't being enfroced, and that they would enforce them. The Obama administration could just not bother with those laws like they don't bother with tons of other laws.
People often have a gross misunderstanding of what the executive branch actually does, but this is actually something that Obama could solve.
That's assuming a remotely compeitive market. However, because patents and regulatory barriers keep new companies from entering the market, and the lack of competition between carriers further eliminates choices, consumers pretty much have to just bend over and take it.
Yes, I feel like samsung has committed a major transgression, ignoring patents so shitty that the lawyers who filed the patent all deserve to be punched in hroat at least once.
I queston it. Half the reason these agencies are needed is because if the trouble they cause, with most of the remainder being fixable by decent practices like not hiking up electrical grid controls to the internet.
Hhigher standards of living mean lower population, with the strongest correlation being the level of education of females. We've already got sub-replacement birth rates in most of the western world. That does cause some complications itself, but the biggest problem in that regard is that there's too few people capable of working to sustain a large elderly population's retirement. Greater automation is perhaps one of the easiest solutions for this concern.
I don't get why people look at this kind of future with such gloom and doom. When robots do everything for us, we get closer to a Star Trek economy where we constantly improve ourselves because we can.

Actually, "Analysts say X will overtake Y in Z" is often one of the biggest indicators of a fad.
So, being confined to a small place with no need for physical fitness results in less physical activity? That's quite shocking.

Actually, there's a good argument that porn responsible for basically all of human progress. You know it's true, everything we do, we do it for porn.

That's assuming that the IRS would audit them. Such a major contributor to so many campaigns isn't going to get audited.
Except for the fact that reverse image searches exist. Also, 'internet photos' aren't a particularly big concern in the orphan works debate.

Perhaps because those were both thought of as being sicknesses at times, but social growth has largely alleviated those viewpoints.
It's so regularly occuring that's it's an irregularity. I'll let you think about that for a second.
