What we need is a movement for States' Rights. What do you do when all three branches collude to grow the central state? If you're the governor of a state, why, you nullify the usurpation, and keep your militia (the Guard) ready. That is the check and balance that has been scrubbed from all Officially Approved American Government classes.
I am not an american, is this an amercan law or something?
It's because on/. we often assume the law should reflect our own common sense of how things should work. There is in reality no connection. Every day hundreds of disappointed litigants leave courts scratching their heads on how the law came up with such a screwy result against common sense and all decency.
'IANAL' is a nod to the way things really work. 'IANAL' says, 'Here's my common sense, but it means nothing in a court of law.'
It's considered rude to hold your chopsticks in your left hand in Japan and China, for instance.
Hmm, when I went to Japan on business, nobody mentioned this, and saw it nowhere in my reading. So I blithely ate left handed. For knife-and-fork types, trying to use chopsticks with your off-hand is very difficulte, even with your strong hand it's hard. But I never stuck my chopsticks into my bowl of rice.
"Yesterday, August 23, 1995 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by software and hardware forces of the Empire of Microsoft."
Be careful with using a Linux box as a firewall - if you don't have experience hardening such systems, you could end up with a much better chance of it becoming a bot that your Linksys box (which is neither i386 nor runs a well-known Linux distro).
Which is why I tried OpenBSD. I found pf much easier than iptables, and it does NAT quite easily, too. A default install is secure. And the documentation in the FAQ is very helpful in getting your box configured.

Information, not being sentient, doesn't _want_ anything. People, on the other hand, do want something--for nothing, when possible.

My wife was a programmer, but now is at home full-time with the children, which includes homeschooling.
My approach to politicians: throw 'em in jail. If you don't know why, they do.
No, the lesson has been learned many times, from long ago. It goes like this: a stitch in time saves nine.
Sounds like you like novelty, not change. "When it is not necessary to change, it is necessary not to change."
This came from the experimental /. Pro-Microsoft Comment Generator. Just fill in your comment, it pre-pends the disclaimer, and watch the karma roll!
For the funny points, you should have said: What they need to look at are the root causes of people pirating.
You're welcome.
You wish. That would mean you were _dangerous_. _Important_. A freakin' John Galt! As it is, you are anonymous, insignificant, a nobody. Sorry.

Just kidding, only wanted to see how the words "I like it" looked in this thread. They look quite forlorn.
My first reaction was, "interesting, but I don't have any rats in my workplace, nor is my employer likely to hire any."
for our bad habits, remember, we subjected ourselves to the habit in the first place.
And all those Academics. They were GASP! Government workers. Not necessarily feds, but still.

Even though McDonald's is in China, Americans have many years' head start on being big. And the Internet users here! Whoa, they're big.
The replacement of children with pets in America continues apace.
One thing about dog lovers, though: they're much more easy going than cat lovers. They are wound up extremely tight.
Mod parent down. The properly shoddy example would have had something to do with cars.

What? Does that mean that modern music depends on technology to be interesting, not on the creativity of the composer?
Hmm...that would explain a lot.
It's a fruitless argument. If you ask where these rights come from (thin air, really, or a theory in the mind), you are treated like an ignorant fool.
So Modern! So Progressive! So 19th Century! How quaint.

Ain't good enough for me, too!
Will they let me have a little plot of land, a garden of pure ideology?
