Is it just me or is it incredably ironic that the video is streamed from YouTube which is owned by Google. Shouldn't they have their Bing or equivalent knock-off by now?
Voting works in certain situations but not in others. The right to peaceably assemble is indeed often called into question when large crowds are concerned, especially if the authorities don't like what the crowds are assembling against. However such crowds do indeed often pose a real public safety risk.
I see the real defence against these new anti-crowd techniques to be sousveillance. The crowd recording and quickly posting their experiances online. Showing police provocation if any, (and being peaceful themselves).
Peaceful also means not provoking the police and putting forth one's message in a calm manner. Screaming at the top of one's lungs or through a bullhorn is not necessarily a right as it often infringes upon the rights of others by crossing over into private spaces. Gahndi and Dr. King are prime examples to follow.
100% is a big number my friend, and in the US "should be" can and often does make up part of the law; in fact it is part of the reason we have such things as right to legal council and trials by jury.
I didn't give any advice. I merely said there were limits and that the constitution would have some legal standing for US citizens entering the US.
To be precise I said there were laws, but never said what those laws were. I am not a lawyer but I do know a bit about how the US legal system should work, but not necessarily how it does work.
If you are worried about the exact laws that would apply to you should you cross a particular border you should ask a lawyer or representative of the government you are crossing over into, and not slashdot.
That depends on which way you are crossing and if you are a citizen of the nation your are crossing into. If you are an American citizen then the laws about search and seizure do apply so there are some limits. That said I don't think that these would in all likelihood violate those limits.
Well if they require him to fix it the only just way is to allow him to fix it in the most cost-effective manner by unplugging their computers from the internet.
Really he didn't break the door, they used a door that had a hole in it when he arrived.
Ironically that has been cited by the autoindustry as a problem of electric cars. They don't make the right engine sounds and the claim often was that the lack of such sounds would mean that consumers wouldn't buy the electric cars.
The problem with IP such as music and movies is that there are several pseudo-governmental entities such as ASCAP, RIAA, MPAA, Sound Exchange, etc. that claim to automatically represent any particular music user's legal interests without those individuals ever giving even the slightest bit of consent. Some of these entities go so far as to collect royalties and payments for various individuals without ever getting permission from them or seeking out the slightest contact, taking the money when those individuals do not show up or refuse to pay for their check writing service or jump through other onerous beurocratic hoops.
There again a tire advertisement does not move your car down the road, nor does a Tylenol ad actually remove a headache for a little while(and the need to take a Tylenol with it).
On the other hand I doubt that this really represents the interests of musicians or performers especially since the artists should already be getting paid for their music being downloaded by a previous agreement.
I have been in academia literally all of my life and have yet to meet more than a small handful of the kinds of folks you speak of. My grandfathers worked on atomic energy and mass production of penacillin, as well as take a turn at being the Dean of the UNC School of Pharmacy. My mother and father both worked in the university for most of their careers.
Yes I have had a couple of bad teachers, but they I while I could call them arrogant or dogmatic I could hardly call them privileged, and in retrospect it seems like they were on the edges precisely because of their dogma. My tenure in physics taught me to be prepared to think outside of dogma, explicitly and implicitly, and this was re-enforced when I changed my major over to English.
I see this stereotype bandied about, just as the leftist and rightist stereotypes are pushed around and feel that they are just as damaging to the American political landscape as racial stereotypes where to its social landscape.
Indeed. I don't think the concept is dead, and its the concept that's important not the specific tech. Though also there are some issues going along with the tech such as who owns the infrastructure and the rules of that infrastructure that become very important and may make one less-advanced tech more attractive than another.
On the other hand the very worst vote too and you want them to be able to read.
Indeed one could argue that the very best students should just suck it up as they will do their learning elsewhere but that the very worst are the ones that need the catering as they need the help. This is especially true as the very best students are defined as those that do the best in and have the best outcomes from our schooling environments. Thus it could be said that the catering should go to the very worst segment of the student population, and leaving the smart kids a little bit bored will not do that much damage to them.
Sacrificing the very worst to cater to the very best also makes little sense.
Of course we could always go back to the good old days where no one gets schooling except for the very best, and by very best we mean those with means to afford it...
Uhm...have you ever READ many man pages or much documentation done by programmers? It isn't that hard to improve upon and add value to, and a well written work explaining how to use something provided for free could be well worth the money even to a rational marketeer. Also by your logic we shouldn't pay English teachers or for dictionaries as what they provide is also free. Or math teachers for that matter, even more so in some ways.
Just because part of the subject matter has a certain cost associated with it doesn't mean all related matirials will have the same cost.
You have little understanding of how science works and how scientists actually think. If you want to talk about cherished theories that can't be changed talk to creationists and theologians. If you want to talk about theories that explain and simulate the universe that are regularly changed, usually but not always gradually, learn the scientific method and about science.
I have been trained as a physicist and a scientist and the first lessons they begin teaching(besides calculus and the other basic courses) are that science is the process of curiosity, reason and doubt. It is a collaborative effort that is larger than any single person and it is a slow struggle where answering one question means opening up many many more. It is the process of expanding the universe by exploring the world around us and seeing how big, vast and wonderful our lives and this world really are.
Religion too often gives us the like of seven days, 6000 years and a wet ball of mud to live on, with harps and clouds if you've been good afterward. Its comforting but it is small.
Really a charge for web news does need to eventually be levied. If it isn't connected the reporters are not paid if the reporters are not paid then the ad writers will take their place, as is happening now. In the end someone does have to get paid for doing news reporting in order for it to be done at anything approaching a reasonable level. Sure there are some small scale sources that do it for free but the argument that any news worthy event will be reported by the guy at his laptop is laughable, especially as many news-worthy events involve the destruction and detention of guys with said laptops. Also the training and rigor a profesional journalist provides is nessasary and needs to be paid for.
That said if people are paying for content then they may very well be more likely to pay attention to just how good that content is, and may shift to a slightly different position from being simple grazing cattle. Not far mind you but it might be a shift none-the-less.

Those "others" are blissfully ignorant.
Competition between OS's?
Doesn't that break the party's TOS?
Had they put out quality software in the first place 7 might be called a Vista Service Pack.

It won't be either. One will take the other's head and their memories after a long hard battle in a phenomena known as the quickening.
What about the scenario where MS doesn't like a product for some reason other than being strictly insecure or malware?
We've seen Apple use that one quite liberally.

About Health Insurance in the US it isn't paranoid. They ARE out to get you.

Indeed. It helps them so they don't have to write great games, and just keep churning out the medeocre sludge that EA's trademark stands for.
Low cost?
Low cost per month but how many months?
Insurance costs are always looked on as low giving the short term cost but never the accumulated costs.

Oh no. Very few judges are bribed or corrupt these days. Politicians go so much cheaper and are more effective.
