"Copies made for yourself are illegal if they are made from an obviously illegal source." The problem is that my property can not be condemned without due process of law and without compensation for its free market value, why would anyone think that if my constitutional government can't steal my property that some NGO could? If i were a Gerrman Judge and you said that the copy was legal because it came from Antigua I would consider that a confession because Germany isn't Antigua.
If the Antigan or the American Government was giving subsidies to their domestic manufacturers, than a tariff on the import would level the playing field, it wouldn't hurt the producers, just remove an unfair advantage. Right know this post is copyright by me and recognised internationaly, what the WTO has done is taken my property without compensation and given it to someone else and I resent it. Seeing that
considered a minor transshipment point for narcotics bound for the US and Europe; more significant as an offshore financial center
I hope the IRS crawl up the ass of anyone having Antigan Transactions with a microscope.
It's not the betting that's illegal, it's paying for or receiving payment for winning that's illegal. In my state and most states, Gambling debts are not legal debts, they can be legally ignored. When I go the the Casino's, they don't sell gambling chips with a credit card machine, they don't even have an ATM on the Gambling floor, you have to go into the sales or hotel area to find one. Does anyone honestly think that Vista is going to pay a gambling debt when it's illegal for them to collect from the card-holder in a State court? Sorry Vista if you want your money sue me in Federal court, yeah right like that is going to happen.
Who cares what they do, they have a population of what about 69,481 they leave Harvard alone and they have 33213 students and Facultyif the Antiguan and Barbudans ignore copyright who cares what they do in their country with a GDP - per capita of $10,900 it's unlikely that they are even on the RIAA or MPAA's radar. If they resell, and the bootleg stuff is exported then the importer is shit-outta-luck if they are caught.
The USTR has also warned that that the award was strictly limited to Antigua, and that even with respect to Antigua, "it would establish a harmful precedent for a WTO Member to affirmatively authorize what would otherwise be considered acts of piracy, counterfeiting, or other forms of IPR infringement." I guess that means that anyone who travels to Antigua or Barbuda, buys a bootleg CD or DVD and returns the the US with it gets it siezed at customs, then the RIAA or the MPAA sues the perp for damages due to willful copyright infringement. Sounds like a win-win situation to me. That's better than the Bahamian Drug pushers that sell you a dime bag, then narc you out to the cop on the corner who pops tourists for a $500.00 fine five times a day.
In case anyone is serious about not understanding how a first post can be redundant, it's because of one of two reasons:
1 the joke or lame comment has been used so much in other threads everyone wants to throttle anyone who repeats it like Homer throttles Bart until his eyes bug-out,
2. it's the first thing that anyone with an IQ 2 points above rock-life would think of, so it's not original, everybody thought of it and most has enough sense not to post something so obvious.
They don't own it, Novell owns it; SCOX thought they owned it. When they acquired Caldera they thought they acquired Unix and continued to believe that they owned it as in Trademarks, Copyrights, ad nauseum.

I'm probably ADAH as well, but never diagnosed, I just know that during my drug abuse days, taking any form of speed or coke was a waste because they didn't do anything obvious to me while others was climbing the walls. There is probably a lot of us out there that are sub-clinical ADAHThe Other thing I've noticed is on the radio is advertisements for a "Christian Consolling and ADD Assessment Center" and that "all or part of the services are covered by most insurances" which seems to indicate to me that getting diagnosed ADAH is about as hard as getting Dx as having a "subluxation" at the chiropractor's office
Titanium can be smooth and polished to a fine surface, it's just a bit more challenging, to get that surface. It's also easy to anodize, the same as aluminum but the thickness of the anodizing has limits. When anodizing Titanium electrolytically, the thickness of the oxide coat, and therefore the color of the coat can be controlled by the voltage, MrTitanium's Introduction to Anodizing Titanium give a good DIY intro for the inquisitive.
Iron isn't always magnetic, when heated to or above it's normalization temperature it loses it's magnetic properties, you can hold a piece of steel suspended with an electrimagnet in a kiln and heat it, when it reaches it's normalization temp it will fall to the kiln floor.
Steel is actually an alloy containing predominately iron, usually has a good amount of precipitated Ferric Carbide crystals , ferric-Carbide in solution with the iron and often trace elements and occasionally minute amounts of pure carbon which is detrimental. The amount of carbide in solution and precipitated greatly controls the physical properties of the metal and is controlled by the heat treatments the steel is exposed to during manufacture.
That guy is newspaper reporter, intellectually that make him open-minded about the same as a trash-can is open-minded, any trash is accepted equally. He's mixing up a whole bunch of very different biochemicals and are assuming they are equivalent because they have the same basic backbone shape.
You may consider it doping, but the are numerous medical conditions that these drugs are RX'd for and discriminating based on medical conditions is illegal in the US. If you skipped over everyone with an ADD drug in their system, the company would lose 1/3 of the workforce, then where would you get all of the loser-bots for the menial jobs?
Vitamin D, especially Vitamin D3 deficiencies have been implicated in a lot of conditions, often gruesome degenerative terminal autoimmune systems, the cost to benefits ratios make it a no-brainer; We're not getting melenoma, the easiest to detect and easiest to treat of all of the cancers, yet we're dropping like flies from all of the others, our skin looks younger as we're crippled with MS and arthritis.
I think your correct,Walmart sold a 100 million CFLs last year by simply putting them at eye level so consumers would have to either reach up or down to get the incandesents in some of the stores. Our local Walmart super-store has them displayed incorrectly, if you make getting the wrong thing more difficult, people will get the right thing even if it costs more intitaly.
actauly that doesn't mean that there is an absolute temperature, but there is a temperature that can never be achieved, there is a point where it'll take tremendous amount of energy to increase temperature increasingly minute amounts.
Everytime the broker mentioned ARMs, all I could think of is what happened to the farmers back during the Carter administration, when they over-mortgaged their land to finance the farmer until the few that held on were basically employed by the bank.
With Linux/Apple, it's not so easy. The last one I understood went like this
user intstal PHP script that executes shell commands
hacker tell script to download virus using wget program
downloaded program is store in/tmp that is wiped clean every reboot
downloaded program get chmod +x by hacker
new executed program is ran as user:group nobody:nobody
worm program that can't really do anything else, tries to infect other servers
then SU see executable belonging to nobody in/tmp, kills process removes executable and touches w/ empty file belonging to root and does a search and destroy on the bad PHP script.
well that's one of the problems is the playing field isn't level and here's some of my thoughts on it;
1. Linux is server orientated, all processes are treated equal unless nice'd, that means that as my Linux 'puter gets loaded with malware processes I'd notice it lagging sooner or later; vs. Windows that is desktop orientated, my Vista machine can have SETI@home running both core at 100% and I don't notice it. Other Vista machines that are under-spec'd feel sluggish and lag at 100% idle; because all emphasis goes into user-experience it shields the user from seat-of-the-pants knowledge of what the machine is doing.
2. Windows allows each process to have more knowledge of other processes, the wife's XP machine gets laggy, and I open Task Manager, nothing happens for a second or two then, everything starts running free and easy, then task manager open; seems like something naughty is trying to hide; in Linux there are multiple ways to find out what processes are running.
3. in Linux, if I want to I can get creative and play around with different portioning schemes and permissions and run a computer that's 99% read-only, how's malware going to get into that, or even run off a live-boot CD.
4. the open-source culture helps Linux, In Windows if my virus scanner finds an infected system file, the only fix is to reload the whole system and risk data lose; in OSS I can FTP the package that contains the corrupted file and copy it in over the infected one if I want. I use Arch Linux and I've had the whole system upgrade transparently just because glibc got updated; where is it same for a virus to hide under conditions like that?
Malware writers are going to consider how easy it is to infect a computer, how hard it is to keep the computer infected, and how much the infected computer can do for them; then factor in a little platform inertia and they seem to pick windows overwhelmingly. A few target Linux or OSX, but that's mostly for street-cred and bragging rights.
OK I take it real slow I make up a ridiculous satirical Chuck Norris joke and post it on the web, somebody publishes it, they violated my copyright not Chuck Norris's; I'm OK because the parody that I made is protected, Penguin may not be protected because it's not their parody. Now because they are publishing infringing and plagiarized material Norris is going to argue that it is unjust enrichment, the other complaints of, trademark infringement, and privacy rights are probably sacrifical; but IANAL.

I could see a meth cook buying ephedrine by the drum to get raw stuff, but taking pills apart purchased at retail prices, strains the imagination.

State and national governments are co-equal
I think somebody forgot to let the Feds know about that.
no I don't in fact I'm questioning whether I need flash either so its about 6 of one, half a dozen of the other.
The last one I understood went like this
then SU see executable belonging to nobody in
