    Taxation without representation.

    In the long run, money *is* worthless. Afterall, it is a created concept used to control the masses.

    At some point, the masses won't have any money to spend, and the greedy corporations will demand handouts from the governments, but the government won't have any tax revenue. Result: global economic collapse. But in the meantime, the corporations are going to attempt to get theirs before it's too late.

    They are waiting. They lost this on purpose basically to give legitimacy to software patents. They are gaming the system.

    They won't need to sue anyone once they have total control. And that is their goal.

    It's easier than that. They should just pass a law that says that before you do anything illegal, you need to call the proper law enforcement agency and let them know before you do it.

    It's not a real duplicate. The article linked to above is dated *today*, so if it appeared to be a dup, the prior Slashdot story had to have linked to another article.

    Nice try. People *were* watching before the 2004 election.

    Please research here before you dismiss such things lightly.

    A 'well regulated militia' means an organized, disciplined group that is there to protect the soverignty of the populace *from* the government, not that it is *approved* by the government. That group could consist of you and your neighbor.

    You *DO* have the right to bear arms.

    Hopfully, you are just misinformed, otherwise, stop spreading misinformation. Otherwise, *you* are part of the problem.

    Which is why the BRAC is so damaging. The conspirators are slowly damaging the ability of the population to defeat a corrupt government.

    Fortunately, some in congress are waking up to the fact that the BRAC process is dangerous.

    The founding fathers envisioned the mess (corrupt government inflitrated within by those that want to destory the country) we have today. What they did not envision is how technology would change over 200+ years and how difficult it would be to overthrow a corrupt government.

    You are correct. It's interesting that you don't hear any talk about Republicans that will run for President in 2008. Perhaps that is because the conspirators are planning on *not having elections*.

    Well said.

    Things are a mess, but perhaps some are waking up. For instance, the destruction of 2.5 terabytes of 'Able Danger' data that indicated the U.S. Government was aware of the terrorist threat one year beforehand, and that 4 of them were identified. At least some in congress are waking up.

    SCOX has responded to Novell (check groklaw). Though the response is creative and not founded in reality, SCOX continues their fine tradition of shooting themselves in the foot by contradicting themselves in their own documements.

    Yes! If you expect the need to re-read it later, get the lined stuff. If you are just brainstorming, then cocktail napkins are fine.

    I've found that just the writing activity facilitates better recollection, such to the point that many times I don't have to refer to my (hopefully not messy) notes.

    This is what happens when the marketing people drive the development process. You end up with lots of crap.
