Tasers have expanded their role to include instances where the officer would have just hit the perp and been rough with them.
Actually, they've expanded their role to include instances where the officer just wants to punish someone when they don't do as they're told, like when they can't move because they're lying on the ground with a broken back.
Hmm.. maybe the motivation to do "labour" will come from enjoyment - it will be done by people who enjoy doing it, rather than those who are only in it for the money?
You're missing my point (and simply regurgitating what PopeRatzo wrote.)
The point isn't that some people will do it for free, the point is that we're stuck in a place where it doesn't matter, because everybody thinks copying anything is illegal.
Lawrence Lessig says that most lawyers aren't sure if it's even possible to put something in the public domain anymore. And if it's not in the public domain, then someone owns it - and if someone owns it, it's not part of our culture.
the more corporations try to limit the availability of "culture" by trying to create a false scarcity, the level of productivity among local and online artists who refuse to participate will increase
Because work produced by "local and online artists" aren't covered by copyright?
Sorry, that work is just as "walled off" as everything else - which seems to me is the plan. The problem is that the current copyright regime is based on propaganda that copying is illegal unless you pay for it. If it's owned by someone, it's not part of our shared culture.
Washington may be an open carry State, but are fully automatic firearms legal there?
An AK-47 is semi-auto, not full-auto, so your question is irrelevant.
Are weapons with a caliber larger than.50 legal?
Again, the AK-47 is *SMALLER*, so why are you asking?
Google before answering, and look at the size of the 'weapon' in question.
The police were called about an AK-47 - not a "big gun I don't know the name of", but (specifically) an AK-47. Seeing as the caller specifically said AK-47, the cop's response should have been "AK-47's are perfectly legal to carry in the open."
Now, now, there's no need for snarkiness. We can accommodate the specs without resorting to hocus-pocus and imaginary abilities.
The solution is quite simple - he just needs to get a lemon (although lemon juice might suffice, it's not optimal, as I'll explain further.)
How it works is simple - you put a 1/2" slice of the lemon in your mouth, then stick in the end of the ethernet cable. The juice from the lemon reacts with your metal fillings and the copper from the network cable, generating electricity, which can then be used to set up an ethernet link by humming at the correct frequencies.
Once slice of lemon will provide approximately 8 to 10 minutes of power for this - be careful not to slice the lemon too thick or thin - too thin and you'll run out of power too soon, and too thick and you'll be wasting the juice in the center (This is why lemon juice is suboptimal - it washes away too quickly, so you'll be needing to "recharge" every 20-30 seconds.)
"Um WOW. THeir full of them selves. And if something dose not work with linux you can compile your own code and make it work."
It's this kind of mentality that keeps Linux from becoming more accessible. Imagine that you install Linux for your mom, and she can't get so and so program to work, so you tell her to just go into the source and edit a few things and recompile it. That's just not going to work.
Exactly - it should be just like in Windows - if something stops working, you should have to format your whole system and reinstall! It's absurd to tell people that it's possible to actually fix something when it goes wrong!
No, that would be nerd card. Geeks have social skills.
You obviously didn't READ the books.
neither did I. I tried - I really tried.. but they were so horribly boring and long-winded it was impossible for me to make it through even part of the first one.
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
A by Tolkein: The chicken, sunlight coruscating off its radiant yellow-white coat of feathers, approached the dark, sullen asphalt road and scrutinized it intently with its obsidian-black eyes. Every detail of the thoroughfare leapt into blinding focus: the rough texture of the surface, over which countless tires had worked their relentless tread through the ages; the innumerable fragments of stone embedded within the lugubrious mass, perhaps quarried from the great pits where the Sons of Man labored not far from here; the dull black asphalt itself, exuding those waves of heat which distort the sight and bring weakness to the body; the other attributes of the great highway too numerous to give name. And then it crossed it.
Wow - that post was just loaded with Fail. Others have picked apart your arguments.. here's mine:
It's not reasonable to expect an ISP to guarantee a certain speed if the line is shared (as if the case with cable and DSLAMs).
Cable is shared, but DSL!?!?!? What the hell are you smoking?
DSL, by definition, is *NOT* shared, any more than a T1 is (eg, the "sharing" happens after you get to the CO.) If you don't believe me, go buy a DSLAM, and try connecting two RTUs on the same loop.
They further said that Chen and his companies had been informed of the activity by Louis Vuitton but still refused to implement a policy for removing the offending sites, which was their responsibility.
So, I'm an ISP, and I host someone who runs a second-hand store. They sell legitimate "Louis Vuitton" crap, but at prices well below retail.
Louis Vuitton "informs" me that the material is counterfeit. I'm supposed to verify this how?
Since when did ISPs become the gatekeeper of what is and isn't legal?
Hey, what do you have against Mike Rowe? That guy's an American hero. Not only is he the host of Dirty Jobs, one of the few good shows on Discovery channel (the other being Mythbusters), but he's also a very outspoken supporter of the trades and American blue-collar workers.
I cannot imagine that any of the trainees would change his/her view of the legality of downloading media based on this training.
That's right, because as we all know, the average person in the USA is widely known for being independently thoughtful and good at critical thinking.
That's why creationism has no trackhold, everyone understands Obama's health care reforms, and nobody believes that Saddam Hussein was behind the September 11 terrorist attacks.

ONe of the worst things that you can do as a company is blame the user/customer.
Really? It seems to work quite well for Microsoft. :)

Why name your UI innovation in a way that suggest that it makes things less clear?
How is that any worse than naming something that displays high-definition video as "blur-ay"?
for anyone who wants to me to cite sources to back up the claim that Kuhn is evil, just ask
Let's see: a guy who works for the FSF and SFLC, helps enfoce the GPL? Yeah, that's real evil.
I'm guessing that since you didn't include your "sources", that you need time to fabricate them?
How is this any different than the judge in the bnetd case, or the 2600 DeCSS case?
I'd argue that drivers should be modular and have no business being directly in the kernel in the first place - but that's just me.

Looks like you're in luck!
if you can use a universal assembler to obtain any object you want, what motivation is there to do labor?
Exactly - it's just like with software.. when coders don't get paid, they don't have any motivation to write software!
Oh, crap.
OK then, it's just like writing music. If music writers didn't get paid, there would be no motivation to make music.
Umm.. ignore that
Well, then it's like writing. If authors didn't get paid, they'd have no motivation to write stories.
Oh, sec..
Hmm.. maybe the motivation to do "labour" will come from enjoyment - it will be done by people who enjoy doing it, rather than those who are only in it for the money?
People who object to Apple's treatment and wish to "object" in a meaningful way can easily root their phone.
Or they could buy an Android phone, which not only "objects", but doesn't put money in Apple's pocket.

The author is waiting on a Linux kernel patch to fix the Flash issues he has with his Intel card.
OK, so do tell. How exactly is a kernel patch going to fix a problem with a proprietary browser plugin?
On my machine, I can watch FLVs, full screen, with a variety of players (Xine, Mplayer, MythTV). It's only Flash player that's broken.
So, considering that the problem is demonstratably with the Flash plugin, how will a kernel patch fix it?
Please turn in your geek card.
No, that would be nerd card. Geeks have social skills.

Pain is there for a reason.... unlike this freaking 1.5" wide text area I am typing in.
Try installing Stylish and adding the following custom stylesheet.

Not to mention the music, which combined with Day's voice reminds me of Stacey Q..
I bought the MP3 from Amazon. :)
