    yeah right... they are not bound to reduce their emissions so how do you suppose they would be enticed to do so?

    except that they are not doing that.

    India and China both have nukes yet they are mostly coal powered... why is that? especially in china where the government kills a person for complaining too much.

    hmm.. did NCP make it posable for the internet?

    that is like saying "what about the guy who first cut open the chest of some one and failed to successfully perform heart surgery?"

    the people that get credit for stuff are not the ones who come up with an under performance. they are the ones that come up with something that out performs even what they thought posable.

    far fewer acres of rainforest are actually cut down than the Greenies would have you think.

    we can fix the over fishing problems, the coral will grow back, and BTW.. there is an ecological balance... the planet self regulates, that is why the climate changes.

  8. Re:Controversial ? I think not on Kyoto Protocol Comes Into Force · · Score: 1

    it is controversial not because some think nothing has to be done, but that the treaty, in some opinions, won't do a damn thing because it ignores the 3rd world which in the next century will be producing more CO2 and particulate matter than the first world.

    Apple still has the right to bring the suit. so what the heck is the argument about?

    no you don't.

    you reuse the bezel on the case. just remove the front of the drawer on the drive.

    as to the GFX card, that is not an apple tax it is a gouge by the card makers. and if you looked at recent cards, the prices are falling in line with the PC cards.

    first... it is the point of a law suit to PROVE that he knew. second... even if the kid has an anonymous way for people to submit information. as a journalist it is his duty to make sure he is not breaking the law. and not knowing the exact source is not an excuse for not knowingly passing trade secrets. the quality of the information and even the fact that he had an anonymous info drop is reason enough to know that some of the info received was a tread secret.

    bottom line, Apple has a right to its day in court to prove this kid is liable and should be forced to reveal his sources.

    actually, no. they is not a Chilling effect on whistle blowers because whistle blowers have special protections under the law.

    you are comparing a company killing thousands of people with their technology with a product announcement. are you drunk?

  15. Re:But does the UTSA apply? on EFF Joins Fight Against Apple Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    first.. you have to bring a case in order to have a judge decide if you have standing. second, simply breaking a law does not make you a protester of a bad law. you need to have some sort of organization behind you, even if it is made up. you need to report your intentions of breaking the law so people know what you are doing.

    if simply breaking the law was all it took to be considered a protester of the law, then murderers would have the largest Lobby in the country.

    Ha!!!

    first, the fact that you think punctuation on Slashdot is meaningful is stupid.

    second... the OP was not circular. and Bill did in fact simply rehash everything the OP was arguing against.

    one who simply repeats themself is unintelligent or unprepared and should not be making an argument in the first place which in turn can be construed as stupidity.

    dude.. unjust laws have entire movements against them. the law against Murder has more people infringing upon it than the UTSA... so I guess there is a movement to legalize murder?

    so if a journalist gets information that reveals the location of a murder and he then reports on the murder but does not reveal who told him he is immune from prosecution?

    sorry but journalists break laws just like normal people and they are liable for them just like normal people.

    so Apple is supposed to ask the kid? that is why you bring the law suit!!!.

    it is a requirement for liability, not for brining the suit.

    so tell me... is Apple with in their rights to prove liability in a court of law or not?
