Thank you for explaining what TMZ means. I've wondered everytime I've seen it displayed. Not that I give a flying crap about the stuff since it's like something a teenage girl would banter about with another teenage girl. "like, oh mah god... you should see brad pitt's ass. and him next to angelina jolie, oh... mah.. god... BRANNNNgelia! Totally."
I donno, myself and a lot of others always feel that having a non-web browser app is properly a touch better at updating your operating system as non-root/non-administrator... so maybe a windows app?
You're missing the entire thing, and now are trying to select the activities that happened to turn them into something blatently anti-privacy and anti-rights. The only reason it went this bar was because the student had blatant disregard for everybody who was a guardian. In a school environment, in nearly every decade, certain things can be disallowed in the classroom. (calculators, calculator watches, pdas, pagers, etc) If the student is using it, they are asked to put it away, in order to comply with the rules. If they do not, then further action is taken to stop the use of that item in the classroom. It went further in this case because of more than just refusing to "surrender private property", it was multiple people seeing the object and the student lying about the existence of it multiple times to the police. Once it gets to the point of police involvement it really amounts to listening to the laws or forceful temporary relinquishment of rights to bring the laws back into check.
Throwing rocks at people's heads is a violent maneuver, and is frowned upon. If you do such a thing, whether you are a child or adult (I'm guessing by your response that you are in high school, due to the severe biased approach), action is taken to subdue you to avoid any further damages to individuals. Also, depending on what any of the stones have done, you will be tried for attempted murder or battery. Again, depending on the outcome.
Let's just reiterate for the sixteen billionth time in these comments that the arrest would not have happened if proper protocol was followed with the officers. Refusing to allow temporary relinquishment of an item to an officer upon request (when the right is bestowed upon the officer by the acting parent at that moment, ergo the staff), further action is taken. It was methodical, and was the students fault. It will happen again to the next person that does such a thing, also. This isn't just a minor disobeying, this is complete refusal to accept that the school has authority over you as a guardian.
Buddy, Despite how you feel about drugs, it's illegal. It doesn't matter one iota your feelings, there's no "freedom to use drugs as you see fit". Especially since the law states otherwise.
You see, the way the world workss is that the laws are changed to reflect the society it protects. You're view on whether it's right or wrong means you have the ability to perform civil disorder, however you will be facing the legality portion much like everyone else that has taken that route. It's necessary, and done with anything worth fighting for.
Probably because not everyone has a rooftop or the ability to put anything "in the air" above their living establishment. Outside of the UK, there are things called apartments, and "home owners association" which prohibits having such things visible to the outside world.
Also, not everyone lives in towns that are less than 10 miles in diameter.
I know you are joking simply by reading your post (I sure hope...) but hey... This just allows people to recieve what has been on the airwaves for a while now, just with digital clarity instead of fuzz. What is this broadband tax credit you refer to? Since you've referred to Time Warner & Comcast, that narrows it down to either LA, Tucson, some various little cities or the northeast USA. Either way, there's no way a law can come along to stop this. It's just a way to keep television on the air after the other channel frequency was sold.
I've lived in various locations on the east coast of America, and on the west now. I've been asked that question quite alot, so it's not UK specific by any far shot.
I honestly think that the problem is most people don't think past their own life and how it will effect that with the least amount of work. Say, looking at environmental issues. Quite alot of people have this odd notion that no changes should be made if the changes are after 20-30 years. The logic is that they're paying for things that are a total waste because they'll never see it. I think the same thing goes with education, alot of improved education doesn't help the people that are paying taxes to put the kid through elementary school properly, it's for the kids.
Um... america is a little bit.. say.. big... Of course education spending is more than any other country on earth. It's big, and it's 1st world. A population of ~300 million people tends to fill the schools fast. Let's not bring China into the equation, they aren't anywhere on par with how the American education is.
Actually the amount of money spent on education in the United States is laughably low. It's not anywhere near highly subsidized by the government, and is ghetto-low.
For the same reason that Windows xp isn't terribly good on a 386. Sppppeeeeeeeeeeeed. The only thing that works good in todays world on a 486 is Minix, Linux, BSD, Windows 95, and DOS.
How does BSD as a license reflect anarchism in digital reproduction?
BSD is pretty much just screaming to hand personal made work to corporations for insertion into proprietary code. That's beyond anarchism, that smacks of a license made by a corporate lawyer.
It really is black and white. A lot of people have tried throwing in the grey through time to obscure things but from a legal standpoint the base components are distinctly different.
On that note, have fun with your BSD item creation. I need code to put into my next software product. And by the way...thanks for the interview. We'll call you, don't call us.
By freedom you mean the ability to keep people from integrating your work into other work with the same license as long as your copyright is involved in the documentation?
If, sir, you mean that is stealing freedom then by all means.. yes.. yes it is stealing freedom.

de jure standard, not de facto.
By no means is IE7 a standard in practice, only in theory.

That might have been funny if what was said was not the bare truth....
It was a point made, nothing more.
Get off your pedestal and wipe it off once you step down.

Enjoy your fight :)
You sure are missing something... like, the whole story.
and in America, it's specified what the item is before you read it...
no language barriers.
Probably because not everyone has a rooftop or the ability to put anything "in the air" above their living establishment.
Outside of the UK, there are things called apartments, and "home owners association" which prohibits having such things visible to the outside world.
Also, not everyone lives in towns that are less than 10 miles in diameter.

I can just picture this now... someone sees their friends name on there and goes "duuuuude, haha... rock on, give me a copy dammit!"
I honestly think that the problem is most people don't think past their own life and how it will effect that with the least amount of work.
Say, looking at environmental issues. Quite alot of people have this odd notion that no changes should be made if the changes are after 20-30 years. The logic is that they're paying for things that are a total waste because they'll never see it.

"your" public school system "here"?
Um... america is a little bit.. say.. big...
Of course education spending is more than any other country on earth. It's big, and it's 1st world. A population of ~300 million people tends to fill the schools fast.
Let's not bring China into the equation, they aren't anywhere on par with how the American education is.
Man, I thought I already pulled out most of the laughable parts of Tucson already. Just... wow...
Actually the amount of money spent on education in the United States is laughably low.
It's not anywhere near highly subsidized by the government, and is ghetto-low.
Amen. For Windows, probably the best idea.
For the same reason that Windows xp isn't terribly good on a 386. Sppppeeeeeeeeeeeed.

The saddest thing is we all know you are right, but legal fees and such may and usually do become a huge obstacle.
it's about not letting people steal your freedom.
By freedom you mean the ability to keep people from integrating your work into other work with the same license as long as your copyright is involved in the documentation?
If, sir, you mean that is stealing freedom then by all means.. yes.. yes it is stealing freedom.
