  1. Re:Linux appliances I _really_ want on Death of a Rebel · · Score: 1
    Doesn't someone have a paten on those little dashes on the toilet paper roll. You could run your toilet on linux but might have difficulties getting licenses for accessing other services in the bathroom.

    Maybe (TP role) could be replaced with a GPL version of (corn cob on a rope). I'm sure the paten is up on that device but get it out there quick before someone adds a handle and claims it.

  2. Re:RIAA should push their legitimate case instead. on RIAA, DMCA, EFF, And So Forth · · Score: 1

    The idea here is that an artificial "right"- that of business to make money at the expense of consumers and competetion has been perpetuated on the people of the world by business intrests. It's time we dispelled that myth. Companies have no rights - people do! Actually as "US citizens" we don't have rights either, we have priviliges granted to us by "A Corporation Massarading as the US Federal Goverment" The devil is in the details. The US goverement can apply laws to us only because we have volenteered to be "US Citizens". The constitition only allows them to make laws for persons in the district of Columbia and other Federal lands NOT state's. But by volenteering to be a US citizen you have placed yourself in Federal Juristiction. You are a corporate intity that's why the federal goverment can make law that govern you. Give up your "US Citizenship" and keep your natural born citizenship and you no longer are granted rights you have them as a birth right. Puts a little monkey in the legal system if you demand that they prove(the federal goverment) has jurastiction over you. Maybe what we need is a common law tool kit for citizens to demand thier rights with, instead of defending the priviledges of our corporate alter ego.
