This means that the idea of a manned space trip to mars is just as silly as is was before. Nobody is really serious at spending 200 billion dollars on a geology experiment.
Because it lacks consideration the GPL will not hold up in court.
to quote:
"3. Some CONSIDERATION must pass between the offeree and the offeror.... The reason this is unenforceable is that there was no *exchange* between you, no quid pro quo; Alice didn't give *you* anything of value in exchange for your promise. Without that -- without what the law calls "consideration" for your promise -- your promise is not enforceable in court."
Also, child support violations are often felonies (thank Clinton) which also cause loss of civil rights, licensability, etc
Ok. I will.
Thanks Clinton. I disagreed with most of the stuff you did, but helping to ensure that kids get supported by their fathers seems like a pretty good idea to me.
Insurance companies are also using credit scores to help determine rates for auto coverage.
Glad to hear it. Let's be honest and call a spade a spade. People who mismanage their credit are irresponsible! It's a shocker, I know.
Don't forget that the insurance companies have the nasty issues of moral hazard and adverse selection to deal with. Stratedies that help them deal with these problems ultimately mean fairer insurance rates.
Eh? I didn't say I was for anything. Learn to read dumbass. I was outlining a viable strategy for them. Global Crossing is in effect transporting stolen goods. Register.dom is in effect facilitating the transportation of stolen goods. The RIAA should attempt to force them to stop, and would probaly be fairly succesful in doing so.
Your post made no sense at all. I didn't advocate any company stealing anything.
These ventures require money. Who will want to risk money on a venture that has a high likelyhood of getting smashed?
Whack-a-mole Napster, Whack-a-mole Kazaa.
Who's next?
The other Ace in the hole that the RIAA has is going after users. Wait till they sue 500 or so of the most pernicious "sharers" at your local university. Would you step in to replace them?
The RIAA should sue Global Crossing to force them to yank their connection to Kazaa and also sue to force Register.com to pull their domain registration.
I mean, here we are in the second leg of the double dip recession
The economy grew at 4% last quarter. You do realize the '01 recesion was the shortest in 20 years right?
we've got at least 10 years of ever escalating budget deficits ahead
So? The absolute size of the defecit isn't important, it's the size of the defecit relative to the size of the economy. The current estimates are much smaller than the defecits of the past. Look at the bond market, ie the market where this debt will be traded. The yeild curve has hardly budged.
the main reasons that the unemployment rates are lower now are that a) a large number of people have given up, which takes them off the list
And you know this how? And how do you know that this is different than in the past?
a larger number of people are employed at lower paying service jobs that require both spouses to be fully employed to make a percentage of the money that one alone used to make
"South Africa has among the highest rates of violent crime in the world. Calculated per 100 000 of the population in 1995, only two countries had higher murder rates - Colombia and Swaziland. The US has a murder rate eight times lower than that of South Africa. Rape figures are the highest in the world, as are South Africa's reported cases of robbery and violent theft."
Probably to take the money from dupes. Take a look here. It's their customer support forum. They disappeared off the face of the earth on the 15th. They stopped answering phones and email even to major wholesalers.
It was the biggest flop in 5 years. So much buildup, so much hype, and so dull. It was just as bad as Black and White, and that game recieved half the attention that NWN did before release.

The GPL will in all likelyhood is worthless.
That's the the first time I remember hearing about it.
The reason they are so large is because they have so few of them. 18 major ones I think. The US has thousands.

The only thing that restrains it is a priori regulation.
What happened to judges throwing out baseless cases?
What happened to State Supreme Courts actually disbarring these pernicious highwaymen?
Because the lawyers have been so pitiful in policing their own, it looks like Bush is going to do it for them.
Don't worry, I've got Karma to burn. I'd just like to know why the RIAA isn't doing this since it seems like such an obvious strategy?
I feel ashamed of my self just for reading your posts.

I'd think that the restaurant is at fault for the manner in which they informed him...
Good point. Just to be safe, sue 'em both.
Sounds actionable to me.
That's the impression given by the Pirates of Silicon Valley movie. Not to mention the fact he's an all around asshole to his employees.

Wrong median income has been consistently rising.
Oh, and the ruling Party is planning on giving the richest 1% of the population more money
Actually they are letting them keep more of their own money.
Did I mention the upcoming war, which will further deplete the economy
Deplete it of what? And what will be the benefit of a larger supply of oil?
Look I'm sorry if your career dot bombed, being poor sucks, I know, but try to keep some perspective.
as their PowerPC reference designs ... or maybe not.
They'll make you put an identification tag on your bumper
Just curious.
Rather odd grammatical construction, no?

Real progressive.
Their site says their backordered. Easybuy was the EXCLUSIVE distributor. Everyone else bought from them.
