Rights are inherent, they are not granted by the government, In the eyes of the founders, ALL men are granted these rights on the basis that they are alive. How can we be a country of freedom when we no longer believe in the basis of that freedom?
An amicus curiae brief that brings to the attention of the Court relevant matter not already brought to its attention by the parties may be of considerable help to the Court. An amicus curiae brief that does not serve this purpose burdens the Court, and its filing is not favored.

Forget the backhoe what he needs is a Ditch Witch. We had the same issue in Oregon, we lived on 280 acres and lived 1/2 a mile from the main road. It really is your only option if you are going to live in the boondocks.
But, I would have to say, when you actions lead to someone being beaten, jailed, and forced to use the same dish to eat and shit, then you can be sure your action was evil.
Ok then look at it this way, in 2001 when iTunes was launched, tied to an extremely popular mp3 player. Now not having actually been granted a patent they could do nothing. To then sit and write a competeing product (and maybe they had worked on a prototype, I don't know) would be fruitless, as even back then we (ie. the slashdot crowd) saw that iTunes/iPod were going to dominate the market. I just don't think these guys are the usual patent troll scum we have come to know and hate.
Really, is it Zapmedia's fault that it took 7 years for the USTPO to review and award the patent. Have you heard of Patent Pending, it used to be printed on a bunch of toys I had has a kid. With patents your protection begins from the date of application but you cannot go after anyone until it is granted. Since the patent was granted on tuesday I have a hard time seeing this as a submarine patent, and it's not like these guys have a huge patent portfolio, they have two, both similar but one with more asset management features (aka DRM).
Wow, remind me to hit the preview button. let's fix that up for the grammer/spelling nazi's out there.
Well, that depends what company you are talking about. There is plenty of unethical behavior in the "Adult Entertainment Industry". Vivid though tends to be one of the more ethical companies out there.
Morals are subjective and thus have no place in this argument.

Ummm, yes really, If you don't believe me read up on Common Carrier status and ISP's pay close attention to the phrase "Enhanced Service Provider" as it provides different protections. There are provisions that protect an ISP's liability for information they transmit but Common Carrier status is not one.
Look at it this way, if ISP's were covered by Common Carrier then Spam blocking would negate that provision. Now go back and research before you put your foot in your mouth again.
>Surely they're either a common carrier (they carry all traffic regardless)
>or they're not?
Quick answer they are not. In fact no ISP in the US of A holds Common Carrier status. I am not sure where this idea originated from but it seems to be a common misconception.
Why do you think ISP's have common carrier status? No really I see this falsehood on slashdot all the time and wonder where this misinformation comes from.
Read up on Common Carrier status and on ESP's (Enhanced Service Providers).
Since 1973 with the introduction of the War Powers Act, the beginning of the end of congressional oversight of the Executive office during times of war.
I know its off topic but Coca Cola keeps its recipe for Coke secret because Trade Secret protection has no expiration date, the only other protection they could apply for would be a patent and that protection would have long since expired.

Well my state went 50/50.
To the Honorable Patrick Kennedy, you sir have my continued support.
To the (dis)Honorable James R. Langevin, you sir have given me a goal, to insure you never hold public office again.
>There are parts of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that explicitly list what rights citizens and non-citizens have
MY GOD, what have schools been teaching you!? The Constitution in no way explicitly lists what rights you have.
The 9th Amendmaent:
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Rights are inherent, they are not granted by the government, In the eyes of the founders, ALL men are granted these rights on the basis that they are alive.
How can we be a country of freedom when we no longer believe in the basis of that freedom?
You should really look up Amicus curiae.
An amicus curiae brief that brings to the attention of the Court relevant matter not already brought to its attention by the parties may be of considerable help to the Court. An amicus curiae brief that does not serve this purpose burdens the Court, and its filing is not favored.

Honestly though, that's because lesbians are hot.
So basically it's a thumbnail.
The day I see copyrighted material fall into the public domain is the day I will respect copyright.

So is clothing evil? It's main use is to cover and conceal, in this day and age protection from the elements is secondary.

What the hell is wrong with the world?
Not very helpful as those systems are out of stock and being refurbished who knows if they will get anymore.
I think McCain has been in the public eye a little longer than Mrs. Clinton, considering he's been a US Senator since 1986.

You studied CS and AI and you now do web design????
Seems like you weren't very good at either.

Oh no, not for me, it's for system builders and OEMS only.
Sorry guys this is a no go for the most of us.
(Actually I used to be a system builder so I could do this but I already have an xbox 360 and I don't need a new tv)

Not yet, but give me time, I'm sure I can get them all.
