If I spent half as much time reading that as they did coming up with that, I'd probably know for certain that guntella can't scale. But, since my attention span is barely long enough to post this, I'll take their word for it;)
Sheesh... talk about overkill
One of the problems of a Bi-partisan system, is the parties tend to be able to only see the other party in compasion to what they should/would/could be. Dems. and Reps. are NOT the only parties out there, and other would most likely be MUCH better suited for protecting our freedoms as individuals. Both bush and gore (lowercase for disrespect) were bred for the job. The've never been in the private sector, the've never known life outside of politics in general. With business tossing money at them left and right to get laws passed, how could you expect them to not turn a blind eye to the individual?
And as to your comment about the president being just merely a cheerleader, he did assign people to very important roles (heh, 3(?) supreme court seats), and those people tend to have the same beliefs as him.... they will also have a lasting effect.
The Right, of course, moves in the direction of a lot of centralized control of the nation's Morality in the government, and a lot of personal freedom/liberty/power, thus reducing that of the government.
I really don't understand how you see this. Do you not realise, that any Forced "Morality" comes at a loss of individual freedom?
I feel that it is vitally important that if we want our Hacker ways to get out to the world, we have to stop the concentration of power and money in the government. We also need to stop the execessive restrictions on our freedoms.
Are you sure you voted for the right canidate? Now, I could understand if you were comparing Democrats and Republicans, in which case, you might be right. But you're comparing liberals and republicans. Reps. and Dems. don't exactly have the best rack record on leaving us be. The balence of freedom depends on The right of person A to annoy, and the right of person B NOT to BE annoyed. The trend with republicans tends to be to restrict what annoys them (Violence and Nuditiy) and push what they like (Christianity, nuking seperation of church and state).
However, these suits have yet to be challenged in the Supreme Court and set as precedent.
Yes they have yet to be challenged. But do you have the money for the legal fees?
You have to be blind to not see how companies are trying to throw out fair use and our first amendment. With the pushing of bills such as the DCMA and EULA's that don't allow any form of criticism, I don't see how you could make such a statement.
It's not just coorperations either. Our fourth amendment right is slowly being disolved by power hungry federal agents.
Everything the government does is becoming more and more at the point of a gun...
Don't belive me? Try not paying your taxes. Who show's up? Men (&| Women) with guns.
I totally disagree with the article. alot of the stuff released for the 2600 was pure crap. With the amount of time spent on games nowadays, If anything happens, a couple of systems will take the throne as the "killer system."
I'm slightly confused as to how they are infringing. Are they using copyrighted images, or is it just the names of the characters that is an issue? If either is the case, couldn't they just change it enough to squirm out of the violation?

bah.
Would someone be so kind as to explain exactly what the hell all that legal jibberish means?
That still doesn't sound good.
