Please- no one who listens to Neil Young is going to be pissing their pants because of the fidelity- chances are that due to their age, their hearing is already degraded to the point where a poorly-encoded MP3 will sound the same to them as a high-quality OGG or FLAC or whatever.

Methinks this may just be Neil attempting to stay relevant as he declines in popularity.
" As if all laws are void, unless they appear in the Constitution?"
No, that's not what I said. Basically, "Everything which is not forbidden is allowed" is a constitutional principle of English law (that US law is based upon), and if it's not prohibited then you may indeed do it.
The framers of the Constitution clearly intended firearms to be used, kept, and owned, which implies their acquisition. They devoted an entire amendment to firearms and even called them out by name as an object, something that I don't believe appears anywhere else in the entire constitution. As far as I'm aware firearms are the only object specifically mentioned by name. Like it or not, the intent of the 2nd amendment is pretty clear.
Guns were extremely important to them, and to think that they'd specifically state that they'd allow people to own them without the implied step of acquiring them just doesn't make any kind of sense.
In any case, it is perfectly legal to manufacture your own firearms for your own use, and always has been. You may not transfer or sell them, but you can make them and use them without violating the law.
You should probably take a course in constitutional law. Under our system, anything not prohibited is allowed. Nowhere in the Constitution does it state that people are not allowed to acquire firearms, and the "keep and bear arms" part implies that acquisition is indeed allowed.
Police Community Support Officers are nothing more than mini-Nazis. They're a bunch of nosy busybodies who love to strut their bullshit authority and poke their noses into EVERYTHING whether it concerns them or not. They're not that different than the Brown Shirts of Nazi Germany.
Ha ha, they'll just start charging for this privilege so fewer people will dare to bring a carry-on bag. It's a win-win, with both sides of the "win" going to the airlines.
I'm in favor of your idea (shooting trademark trolls), and was wondering if there is a Kickstarter campaign I could donate to in order to make your vision a reality.
...get an attorney to write a few letters back stating that you do not believe there is any infringement and you will contest this in court if necessary.
99.9999% of the time you'll never hear from them again.
You can make considerably more money operating a nail salon or a hair styling place. Seriously. And buying/building one costs a hell of a lot less than a 4-year college degree does.
Then I guess I'll have to download a file for something that looks like a lower receiver.:)
Here's the thing- it's always been completely legal to make your own firearm. Anyone with a decent home workshop could crank them out by the dozen. And guns made in a shop at home do not need to have any serial numbers or other identifying marks. That's why the "80% lower receiver" kits are legal. A drill press and some sharp files and voilà, you've got a working lower receiver with no serial number, and it's legal.
They're trying to regulate the flow of information which never works (these days anyway). If they can't stop child porn or stop people downloading movies, what's the chance that they'll be able to keep CNC files off the web? Approximately 0% by my calculations.
I guess I'll have to download a file for something that looks like a barrel, and another file for something that looks like a grip, and another file for something that looks like a magazine, and another file for something that looks like a trigger....see where this is going? Good luck with that.
Because, you know, outlawing the downloading of movies has been such a spectacular success, that's why no one ever downloads movies anymore!
I once forgot to open a water valve before turning on a laser in the lab.
The low-pressure safety switch for sensing water flow had been bypassed (not by me) and the laser tube immediately cracked and broke due to the instant heat buildup. Total cost, about $4000.
Good advice, but some of us just don't give a shit what's on television. The last thing I watched (I mean really watched) that actually interested me was Breaking Bad.
If you're that into consuming TV shows and movies, great, more power to ya, but for me it has almost no appeal anymore.
You seem a little tightly wound, and rather uncivil in response to a simple statement.
Some of my domains could easily be targets for some corporation that decided they had to have a particular domain. SOme of them have virtually no content or and have seen little use, either because I stopped working on the project or haven't started it yet.
In some ways I think my circumstance is indeed similar his, but either way I don't see the need to be so unpleasant in your response if you happen to disagree.

Yep. PONO is an expensive "solution" to a non-existent problem.

Exactly.

What Will Happen When Cascadia Subduction Zone Slips?
On the West coast we'll all fuckin' die, that's what will happen.

$300 a month? My internet service better be delivered by hot Nubian sex slaves wearing nothing more than a smile.
Seriously, fuck Comcrap, they suck, their service sucks, their reps suck, and did I mention they SUCK?

I am officially starting the Church Of SystemD, which will bring enlightenment to the masses.
Services praising The Holy SystemD will be performed at gunpoint, so stop making trouble with all those facts and shit and just get in line.
Short, sweet, and to the point. If only it were legal. :(

No way I'd want to fly in this Sardine-Style seating arrangement. No, No, NO.

Lol, that's beautiful. If I had mod points, they'd be yours.

I'm sure it'll be a huge success with the 20 or 30 people that want that kind of thing.

Actually, it does.

In other words, you're a pompous asshole with delusions of adequacy. Got it.
