You're forgetting that many of us Conservatives have a republican (small-r) ideology. If we can keep the ignorant beer scarfing masses from voting, it's all for the best. The United States has never been a pure democracy, that wasn't even the intent of the founders of this republic.
So piss and moan if you like. It really doesn't matter.
It's a good thing he's a 'catch and release' enthusiast, or you'd be flipping around in the bottom of the boat, or gasping for breath in a livewell right now.
We need laws because without them, any troublemaker out there can take it down. Are you ready for rogue nations to set up warehouses full of DDOS machines and start slamming the net? How will you resolve it? With a bazooka? No, with laws.
'the government' barely has the resources to chase after the genuinely criminal characters out there. This paranoid notion that they will come after you if you have any kind of subversive tendencies is just plain ridiculous.
The Black Panther party tried to claim things like that, back when they were running criminal drug rings and killing people with impunity. It turns out to have been a plain lie on their part. They weren't being 'persecuted', they were being busted for running a criminal operation.
There have and will be isolated cases of abuse of authority. Those need to be clearly identified and dealt with properly, from within the system.
Paint with too broad of a brush, and nobody will take you seriously at all.
We need to not be ridiculous. It isn't appropriate to just jump on a different interpretation of a word that clearly is not the context that it was used for in the actual document.
Actually, the best way for all the 'old school' companies to profit off the Net is for it to be broken into a conglomeration of commercially-controlled networks. The 'classic' Internet is already starting to run into scaling problems, and the Balkanisation will begin fairly soon.
Marx talked a lot over 100 years ago about the inevitable demise of private property.
I am not saying this to claim that the 'realist' you speak of is in any shape or form a class-war Marxist, mind you. Just trying to point out that people in the past with a certain amount of zeal have used the 'history is inevitable' line. They're usually wrong.
A 'CP/M Developers Kit' is just the grey-cover 8-1/2 x 11 manual. Almost nobody had them, and I suspect mine would sell for good money on E-Bay to the right collector.
Everybody just made copies of each other's CP/M binaries. Were you around then?

Come, now, this is Slashdot...
Who is this 'we'?
Do you speak for the masses or some claptrap thing like that?

He's a troll.
And now you've bit on his hook twice!

Actually, The UK and France both have nuclear weapons.
You don't need a whole lot more than a nuclear warhead and a dilapidated tugboat these days to be feared as a military force.

Indeed. It is unfortunate, but a new term is needed to refer to 'skilled computer enthusiast.'
Maybe you should visit my homepage.
How clever! You watch the Simpsons.
Neat!

Not hardly it isn't. It's just copyrighted by different interests, with a different agenda.
Some are even painted on elephant dung.
Of course it's expensive autoclaved elephant dung, not your regular elephant dung that you'd buy cheap at the zoo.
The big question is, do you drape your hankie out of your left or your right back pocket?
The Green Party mascot is the watermelon.
Green on the outside. Red on the inside.
Well, obviously the assumption being made here was that the people who click on the 'read more' link would be the people who do care.

Don't look now, but if you read part of your user number upside down it reads 666.
I'd be careful about that.
Hey, German is my native language!
Actually, you'd want to install NetBSD on it.
Linux isn't very cross-platform, but that's the whole focus of NetBSD, so the ports collection is much stronger and more focused.
Nobody cares about Matt's 'articles' on the Drudge Report. The only thing on his page with any credibility are links to other sites. Get real.
You're embarassing us, guy.
It's the feminine form for Amigo.
Amigo means 'cat with pointed ears.'
Somehow I just can't visualize the kind of people who do spreadsheets caring wether their computer says 'Amiga' on the faceplate or not...
