    You are extremely confused when it comes to IP laws.

    Copyright != Trademark.

    Laches defense would only exist if they had not actively been pursuing violators, which they have. How can you say "there has been no enforcement over the years", There has been so much enforcement the ridiculousness of it has entered our pop culture (The Simpsons have joked about ti, so has Futurama, iCarley, Sports Night, the Venture Brothers and so many more). I mean have you ever wondered why you never hear it on TV, you always here "For he's a jolly good fellow" because that is in the public domain.

    Corporations are not people, they are a legal economic structure to protect the owners personal assets.

    How can corporations be people when they are property?

    All herbicides are pesticides, but not all pesticides are herbicides. A pesticide is any material used to eradicate or suppress any other life form which causes a material or economic loss to humans. Pesticides is a very broad term which includes herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, avicides, acaricides, rodenticides and many others.

    Is it really necessary to say no one needs something just because you don't. Sorry but responses like yours are useless as they are more insult then info. Next time try and leave your attitude out of your responses and maybe you'll get some good karma for once.

    I'm not sure his leak has done any damage at all. It's not like this program wasn't known about. Hell it was suspected of being this bad or worse. All his leak did was verify what people already thought.

    Ahhh but the right to travel does not equal a right to drive. Driving is a dangerous and licensed activity. While they may not say you can not travel they most certainly can remove your privilege to drive.

    Actually it looks like with this design there will be NO upgrading video cards. Do you really think any third party is going to design a card for the small section of the market that is the mac pro. At least with the old mac pro they used standard designs, the only difference being the bios.

  20. Re:Someone start a defense fund on USA Calling For the Extradition of Snowden · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Unlike Manning, he targeted a specific program of domestic spying. Under the Espionage Act this would only be considered a criminal act if it directly harms national defense. Since I find it hard to believe that a wide net surveillance program that violates the constitution is required for our national defense I am wondering how they will charge him.

  21. Re:The right and wrong way to go about these thing on USA Calling For the Extradition of Snowden · · Score: 1

    Actually there is no criminal law regarding the release of classified information. It is actually only a crime if it harms National Defense.

  22. Re:The traitors work in government on USA Calling For the Extradition of Snowden · · Score: 4, Informative

    The only way this is a crime is if actual information is released that hurts national defense. Congress has repeatedly resisted or failed to make the disclosing of classified information illegal, in and of itself.

    I am not sure one could consider this national defense information.

    Czars? really You understand there are no czars, it is just a term to refer to high-level presidential appointments. The same appointments that every president has made. It is not an actual title.
