I have seen the argument made that Real Estate is not completely your property, in that if you stop paying taxes on it, the government comes and takes it away from you. Taxes being a sort of rent paid to the government.
I have to think on this one. My brain cells hurt when I don't have enough coffee in the morning. [d'oh!]
As seen in this news item, a panel of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has asked the California state Supreme Court to decide whether a website name is property, especially property that can be converted, or stolen from the owner.
This is all part of legal issues arising out of a multimillion-dollar damage claim in California from the owner of the Web site sex.com.
The ruling could lead to numerous lawsuits against domain registries, particularly the largest one, Network Solutions Inc., based in Mountain View. If the court decides a domain name (a website name) is property that can be converted, NSI, as the custodian of domain names, can be held responsible for allowing a wrongful transfer even if it wasn't at fault.
insulting people who are Christian by calling them Christian?
I somehow think that this did not come out the way you meant. but anyhow...
Of course, we shouldn't insult them at all.
The actual problem is not the religion, but the restrictive culture.
So aside from that, what alternative name would you suggest for calling christians Christians, if calling christians Christians is too insulting? We shouldn't call people the name they call themselves? and not be insulting?
Of course, the ultimate problem is the insults in the first place, but then you'd have to do things like figure out how to end flames wars and other similar disputes. Which is not just a matter of rules, regualtion, or legislation.
Business Week also has this article entitled Will Your TV Become a Spy?" this is very much anti the antics of the Hollywood crowd.
While the economy and stock markets struggled, 2002 was a golden year for the silver screen. Thanks to blockbuster hits such as Spider-Man, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings, ticket sales hit $9.3 billion worldwide, a remarkable 13% rise over 2001's then-record receipts. So much for claims that piracy threatens Hollywood's livelihood.

It used to be you could go on Napster, and see what else a person had in their collection in addition to the tunes you wanted. But that is no longer an option.
Some folks have been known to get weirded out by this.
Today, there is no US talent shortage, and H1B is not nearly the issue it used to be... US Companies are hiring skilled foreign nationals in their country of origin as opposed to bringing them to the US.
thank you very much. the flip side of this is that we also have at least a half million unemployed geeks who cannot get work, and who wind up working out of their field just to put food on the table.
The AFL-CIO has put together that whole Techs Unite webpage, which includes a number of interesting thoughts, like a union for Techs.
Of course unions, etc have not been a traditional alliance for geeks. I can just imagine the flamewars over this.
The proposed reforms validate many if most of the concerns of IT workers, but I am not sure if these are the best solutions. I have seen suggestions that advocate the all out abolition of the H1B program. This might be the way to go, if the the thing H1B fixed did not in fact fix anything in the first place.
The last thing we need is the US to become the equivalent of Detroit with urban burnout across the whole country.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is considering an investigation into accusations that fundamental flaws in the proposed "Son of Star Wars" system have been covered up.
After months of demanding an inquiry into the affair, Ed Crawley, the chairman of MIT's aeronautics and astronautics department, has reversed previous refusals and recommended an investigation.
The issue in question goes to the heart of missile defence technology, an article of faith among many Republicans and a key plank in Mr Bush's 2000 presidential manifesto.
Dr Postol and fellow critics say the ability of an interceptor missile to distinguish between an incoming warhead and the decoys likely to accompany it is deeply suspect. Any such doubts would cripple the credibility of the system.
Again, all as a matter of national security, and which did not make a splash stateside. The story at the link is much more detailed.
So what is the government going to do about this outbreak of integrity in the halls of learning?
You had me all excited when you said we should be able to "hunt" spammers. I though you meant really hunt them. I was all ready to go get my hunting license and a buy a gun.
There has been talk of giving them cute orange ear tags, however. I think you could volunteer to be a tagger to help ID them for the public.
Which essentially means that there are more eyeballs to track the scum down. And a financial reward to do so.
The twist in my proposal is to mach spam have a cost even if sent "legally" - [lots of states have finance problems], and make the penalties truly painful if done illegally. I want to set my own fees for receiving spam

So would making the subpeona public in this case help or hurt the cause?
That said we come to this line:
I would say real-estate type of property.
I have seen the argument made that Real Estate is not completely your property, in that if you stop paying taxes on it, the government comes and takes it away from you. Taxes being a sort of rent paid to the government.

Had me worried for a second. But a school in Texas would probably be an okay place to learn how to code first person shooters.
I had nightmares about what kind of video games a truly christian university would focus on.

other wise it would be rather disappointing.

data is useless by itself unless it can be used appropriately.
sort of like the list on conservative site NewsMax that finds that the vast majority of truly corrupt politicians in the past year were democrats. What a coincidence!

On the music, which sounds pretty close to the original. I'll have to check it out again when the server is back up.
On the set and ship design
On the uniform design
On certain creative elements of the Universe - while you can't copyright people from earth. But Klingons, etc. are another matter.
Of course, if you changed all that, it would not be very recognizable as Star Trek. which I think would be the point of copyright.
There has been talk of giving them cute orange ear tags, however. I think you could volunteer to be a tagger to help ID them for the public.
This idea means licensing them so that they are properly registered, Meaning we know who they are and where they live.
Meaning that they can be billed for use of service, etc. and jail those not properly licensed.
Meaning that we can send bill collectors and tax collectors hunting after them.
The bottom line is that IF we can make it profitable to go after these guys, someone will make a business of it. We just go to figure a way how.
Then we get to use the scum of society, such as bill collectors and tax collectors, and turn them to some good, going after spammers.
And we can use the money collected to subsidise the cost of something useful.
Now Lessig has also proposed something similar to this:

Which essentially means that there are more eyeballs to track the scum down. And a financial reward to do so.

I supposed this is an improvement on those who have no grasp of the obvious whatsoever.
