I thought the process also includes filing suits in courts that are established for that matter. The librarians are not storming the Congress brandishing AK-47s (although that *would* be something).
Which, I think, is actually a problem with the way some people think, to my great annoyance - is that now every problem has to be thought of only in terms of one of these patterns, and [your favorite deity or lack thereof] forbid you actually come up with something new...
In the time it takes for you to type this, you can easily register as a 123-year-old polynesian software engineer, earning 400,000 a year. (If you are one, pick another example:).
As many people are quick to respond when discussing things like monitoring employees' activity at work, it is THEIR network, they monitor it, well, why don't they be responsible for it as well? Fair is fair...
Will someone please tell me what happens when Tetris ends?
We are actually living in a section of a Tetris figure falling down in a cosmic Tetris game played by the great Pajitnasana. When it falls, our universe ends. When the entire game ends... Oh, I shudder to think of that...
Because any web site is a public place, and so this needs to be thought out. You are not required to have your house ADA-compliant, but even your personal web site is just as publicly accessible as a big company's, and so should every Joe Frontpage be forced to make it compliant after such a precedent?
People who know C probably will not have problems learning Perl, but I always thought it's more fun to learn new way of thinking that comes with a new language. Thinking of a new language in terms of the one you know may result in taking the old-language style of programming to the new one - so what's the point of learning?
You can probably explain LISP in terms of Basic concepts, but that's a waste...:)
In fact, that's what I am referring to. There is an entire body of laws in Judaic tradition that deals with such variety of cases that is comparable to those laws you decry. Life is not as simple as "do not steal". For one, people can't agree on what stealing means and whether it includes trading mp3s:)
But because it is a simple set of laws that most people would agree with - any idiot can read (or be read to) and understand them. UK law runs into tens of thousands of pages

Maybe it's better that they get stolen than :)

While there's no legal argument there, this
2) the work must, taken as a whole, lack serious value and must appeal to a prurient interest in sex.
just shows that we've got a ways to go.
What the fuck is wrong with a "prurient" interest
in sex, and how is other people's prurient interest in my prurient interest somehow holier?
But by the same token, the federal gov't's right
to the money it takes at huge rates from taxes
is just as flimsy.
Argue that, why don't you?
I sit corrected then :)
But shouldn't the company understand this as
well?
Like, does anyone cares anymore? :))
Many people didn't get anything from HS but misery and scars. How does make someone a mature adult?
It shows you that a lot of people are mean
assholes and you better be prepared for it.
You know, that which doesn't kill you...
What's 15K for NASA, really? For that matter,
what's 15K for such a gov't agency? Another
bathroom stall?

Is this any worse than learning about
Crusades, the Inquisition, or Hitler?
There are companies that specialize on

One man's common sense is another's heresy, though...
So if I don't like the way a storekeeper arranged
his merchandise, I take him to court now?
Do you think this should apply to all sites

community sites? Or just things that >X people
use?
