Should we make that law then? As soon as your building is paid for, you shall renovate it and rent it out? What if that's one of many other buildings he owns, the rest of which _lose_ money. What then?
Anybody who has actually rented out property knows the return on investment is to tiny that it's better just to flip the property on some other poor sap and let them watch their money end up going to endless fixes and utility increases while the Government tells you you can only increase your rent per year a fraction of just the different between last years utility rate and this coming years.
In my personal case, I'm looking at a 2.5% rent increase, while the property tax, and water/sewage's increase alone eats it up, include electricity and natural gas? At this rate, I'll be paying to have renters in in a couple years.
The age of buying property and getting a good return on your investment is long dead. Unless you constantly evict your tenants and increase your new renting price on a near yearly basis.
Although to be fair, in many parts of the early union men of militia age (17-45) were required by law to purchase, maintain and demonstrate proficiency with military firearms.
Which dates back to the requirements of everyone from 12 to 60 years old in England to own a bow and a certain amount of arrows based on age, long before the creation of firearms.
Which as you say, having every able bodied male ready for war is a strong deterrent of war. Which is why the American Founding father's added it to the Constitution.
That is also because of the clamp down after the American Civil War on Militias, as the Federal Government which consolidated power after that war was worried that Militias would allow states to try and leave the Union again.
Then in the 1990's we saw the rise of Militia's being the enemy of the people in the Clinton administration with Janet Reno's actions, to the point now if you wanted to form a Militia you'd be hard pressed to find people who'd risk ending up on a FBI watch list over it.
Columbine was illegal straw purchases. Which American law already prohibits.
Newtown guns were stolen from his mother.
The guy who shot the firemen in NY was already a convicted felon and legally not allowed to own guns.
If the Founding Fathers had meant "trained" they would have written "trained" instead of "regulated". But they didn't because it's not they they meant.
Actually no he is right, regulated means trained and properly equipped in this sense. The English language has been corrupted over time to mean strictly mean only regulated in the sense of controlled under the law.
A well regulated machine is one that has proper preventative maintenance and can preform when called upon without fail. Not because it is regulated by law to preform or function.
Why doesn't it mean x86 is ahead? Because x86 has had years of development ahead of ARM. Also because x86 uses proprietary microcode.
So having them equal means ARM is a significant benefit.
The original x86 was introduced in 1978.
The original ARM was introduced in 1985.
That is just 7 years more over the ARM with 27 years of development since the first implementation. Plus all of the/. crowd and other self described "experts" have been saying for years that a neck and neck tie between them for power consumption would never happen. And well it did, so obviously this is a win for the x86.
MS VLK OEM licenses are practically free compared to store bought copies.
While OEM's tend to give more as a good will jester for OEM copies returned to them, Microsoft has been known to sell Windows as low as $15 per license to the large system builders. While the OEM license for medium and small builders were priced at $120.
So that combined with the bloatware, and having to make compatible drivers for Linux work out of the box, $50 doesn't seem like such a big deal.
In Canada its nearly the same thing unlike in the US, only difference is the Supreme Court can strike down entire laws at their level, while the Federal Court of Appeals can clarify them. You can go to both, or just to one or the other, depending on the grounds your trying to fight the appeal with. Or at least that is how my Civic's class I took many years ago taught it to us.
Yes, the Conservatives added legislation to our copyright law which is good as it severely limits any kind of fines from copying any kind of copyrighted items for non-commercial (aka distributed for free), beyond our own court cases have allowed.

No BMG Canada Inc v John Doe proved that sharing on a P2P system is legal. There is no distinction between uploading or downloading in that ruling.
Advertising copyrighted material for copying is illegal, which is why posting copyrighted music for download on a website it illegal as your intentionally advertising it for download (same with TPB/Demonoid etc which is why Demonoid wen't to the Ukraine in the end). You are not intentionally advertising the files on a P2P shared folder, unless someone else looks for it so it's "legal".

No in Canada, unlike the US, P2P, user to user downloading and sharing of files even when copyrighted is LEGAL.
What is illegal is advertising it for download, such as linking it on a website, so technically a torrent search site may be considered illegal (never tested in courts we don't have any here), but the actual users broke no laws even downloading the magnet links (which do not contain any copyrighted information) from sites such as TPB etc.

IBM's PowerPC are similar, plenty of instructions that offer one cycle completion as the old 65C816 did. Or better, look at the z196 that IBM has developed, its capable of 5 operations per clock cycle as IBM is a fan of one core, multiple sub-processing units.
The Cell processor used in the PS3 is one PPE "core" with 8 SPE's (processing units), one is locked from the factory, one is dedicated to the OS, and 6 are for the game itself. While the newer IBM PowerXCell 8i, at a mere 2.8Ghz, it is capable of 179.2 GFlops (SP). Because it can process 64 single precision floating point math instructions per clock cycle.
Verses the x86 (and many others from that period such as the Z80) which is actually designed as a 3 cycle per operation machine, especially when fetching data, it took 3 clock cycles to access or write the new data. The 68C816 is 1 cycle for a read or write operation.
More then likely its not a issue of the processor in the Wii, and more of a issue of how much time/money investment the Wii market is really worth to them to recompile a dedicated Wii capable binary.
They are not cowards, just desperate and very very angry. You si, would deserve to have been born in gaza.
Being angry and desperate for what? Israel GAVE everyone who was living in their boarders after the 1948 war passports, if they were Jewish or Arab.
Unregistered Arabs, which are the "Palestinians"/. is so fond of, such as Arafat, were born outside of Israel, and were out of Israel for generations. They have resettled there during the multiple failed attempts of wiping Israel off the map.
Because even their attacks with people on the ground have actually targeted somebody important? No, they continue to target civilians who are defenceless.
They do not have a spine to stand with, they are nothing better then cowards.
Apple has no needed FRAND patents, therefore there is no need to negotiate. Especially when from Day 1, the company who needs the FRAND patents felt the need not to negotiate in the first place.
No Apple's argument is that nobody pays a percentage of the device, only on the chip implementing the function.
Chip makers have to pay a license fee to simply make chips that can use the patent. Users of patented technology must also pay for the right to use that technology. Only end users (aka consumers) don't need to pay for the right of using technology in patents as the purchase price is included.
It is how it works with every kind of FRAND patent scheme. End of story. There are no if's, and's or but's about it.
i'll get modded down but the way FRAND works is the rates are usually a few cents per device and you cross license any FRAND patents that you have as well.
FRAND patents are typically a % of either manufacture or retail costs of the device, in any industry.
Apple's original argument was the 2.5% was too "expensive" for a iPhone they want to retail for $600 verses the same 2.5% that HTC pays for their $50 disposable phones.
