Without Real ID Congress will never authorize replacing Passports with Driver's Licenses. In most some instances now and within the next year no-one will be able to enter the US without a passport, at at $80-$100 per person, this pretty much blocks low income folks from leaving the country even for Mexico/Canada/Cruise Ship visits.
You are kidding right? Ever heard the phrase "accessory to a crime?". Or are you trying to argue that YouTube is more like the "fence" and less like the "thief" and that's somehow better?
Tortious interference, in the common law of tort, occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or other business relationships. This tort is broadly divided into two categories, one specific to contractual relationships (irrespective of whether they involve business), and the other specific to business relationships or activities (irrespective of whether they involve a contract).
Tortious interference with contract rights can occur where the tortfeasor convinces a party to breach the contract against the plaintiff, or where the tortfeasor disrupts the ability of one party to perform his obligations under the contract, thereby preventing the plaintiff from receiving the performance promised.
Tortious interference with business relationships occurs where the tortfeasor acts to prevent the plaintiff from successfully establishing or maintaining business relationships.
Playing Devil's advocate I'd say this is a smaller scale version of what YouTube itself did. YouTube advertised itself with "borrowed" content to become famous and increase net value.
Just like the other researchers were "bribed" into doing the "global warming" research in the first place. It's called funding folks. It's what you do when you don't have a bunch of religious zealots to spread your viewpoint for free or you need to entice credible resources to risk their life, limb and career disagreeing against said zealots.
Where I live near Melbourne, Florida we have been using this system for a long time. The money must be to change the systems in the lower IQ areas of the state.
Good point. Poor choice of words. I get frustrated with these congressional flamebaits. I still stand by my position. The science I've seen so far has been less than credulous, the science community in question has a bad track record, and I've personally been in university science courses where I've had to personally endure the poor scientific standards being taught in most universities. I've personally been degraded by professors for asking to see decent science to back up these claims. Its the same attitude I get whenever I try to speak to a religious person about the bible.
Amusing that you would equate the science they are using to try to justify "doom to all" with the precise measurement at the micro levels that wen int discovering microbes, evolution and algebra. Give me the Aristotle, Pasteur or Darwin of Climatology who can present irrefutable proof or his/her theory and I will listen. Quit handing me lame half-baked theory.
Ok, now place those molecules with an almost infinite number of random variables(temp, pressure, objects, forces) and we're back to my point. Climatologists have been wildly wrong for the last 50 years, often making consensus predictions that just don't hold up. The Earth is a huge steady state system and it has corrected itself EVERY time in the past.
Got flame baited the first time, so here we go again: Three Points
Point 1: You do research on the federal doll, you do the work you were asked to do not choose your research to vent your personal opinions and unrelated suppositions.
Point 2: Scientists (especially climatologists) have been predicting that the sky will fall pretty regularly for the last half-century and most of their predictions have been incorrect. The Earth is a huge steady state equilibrium system with process that have kept is that way for a long time. Processes that scientists aren't even close to understanding in the short term much less over a millennium.
Point 3: (related to 2). Using the specific buzzwords/phrases that were censored is appropriate when they convey a meaning other than intended. Proving that human interference may directly cause changes to the environment does not mean that the Earth is going to dry up into a tsunami ridden dustbowl tomorrow. Using those specific "loaded" phrases will cause many non-scientists to think that way because of the way it has been portrayed in the press and by fringe scientists.
I really get tired of these quantum leap suppositions from scientists who can't predict the weather this week much less over the next millennium. This is what we get from turning science into a liberal arts track.
put pressure on Chinese authorities to comply with copyrights.
You are kidding me right? You ever been to China? Asia? Mexico? The US is the only place where you can buy legal copies of any given software/music/video at the corner market.

I upgraded a Compaq Z2615US 14" notebook (Semtron 1.8ghz, 128mb ATI 200M video, 1GB RAM) to Vista Business 32bit.
Aero Eye candy aside, I feel like I'm making fewer clicks and finding things easier. The sideshow doesn't have any really compelling widgets/gadgets yet (the weather gadget only show the current weather). The system feels more responsive. Had a few software compatibility issues (Visual Studio 2005 and Adobe 8 Reader installer). Office 2007 is simply wonderful. Finding things is much easier and the application seems to load a lot faster than previous versions of MS Office. Office PDF export is a separate download.
I installed a lot of third party stuff like XAMPP Lite, SciTe, Filezilla, Firefox etc without any big problems.
I ordeered the 64bit DVD and will probably reinstall everything when it arrives.
If you came up with a ratio of $spent/$productivity, Oracle would probably throw a divide by zero error. Most folks would be orders of magnitude better off with mySQL, SQL Server or Access.
We should fix the problem by ditching coinage and cash in developed countries in lieu of electronic units that are based off some reasonable stable commodity or pricepoint.
First, a lot of the usability problems from the vendor poorly implementing the payment and order status process.
But it is more important to note that they appear to be completely different services. Paypal is a service for making payments and GCO is a service for making purchases. As far as I can see, the transaction is passed entirely to GCO once the order being placed (like a payment gateway). Paypal is treated more like a credit card at most merchants. I speculate that there could be some advantages in terms of security and possibly tax benefits if the govt ever starts taxing internet transactions and GCO can claim any state/country for transaction purposes. But I could be wrong.

You basically have three choices:
1) Ignore the market and leave it to the competition if there is any.
2) Conform to the local rules to gain invaluable early adopters and possibly change things once you are in a position with leveredge.
3) Try to bend the market to your will. Call this the confrontational approach.
Of the three I'd submit that #2 has the best chance of success in the long term.
I'll never buy something from Sony again until they change their anti-consumer practices.
