The US is complaining about it? I think not, we just aren't participating. As has been mentioned elsewhere, the vote against it was 98-0 in our Senate, so it wasn't even a partisan political matter.
I won't even bother arguing your 'point's about Kennedy's accomplishments because you're trolling.
My question to you though is thus: let's accept for the sake of argument that you're points are correct. Does that mean he should get away with vehicular homicide?
...many bloggers don't see much Journalism coming from CBS. Come on, this piece is largely sour grapes because many bloggers called CBS out (and rightly so) on the whole forged Air National Guard memo issue.
You do realise that to a lot of the/. crowd, pedophiles rank slightly higher than corporations with regards to morality. Any company that dares to try and make a profit or protect it's trademarks/copyright is automatically Evil(tm).
Go ahead, mod me down. You know you want to. You also know it's true...
In fact I *do* know what 3rd degree burns are, because I've had them. I never thought once about suing the maker of the stove that caused them.
Lawsuits like that (McDonalds) are BS, plain and simple. You can try to excuse them away, but the fact remains that she bought a hot, potentially scalding liquid. She should have been more careful.
That's one of the biggest cop out reply I've ever seen here, and I've been around/. for quite a few years. When will people start taking responsibility for their own actions? The lady in the lawsuit put the coffee between her legs and drove off, thus spilling it. Coffee is hot. Hot stuff can cause burns. 'nuff said.
IANAEE, but if the system is very efficient, it doesn't matter how much power it's consuming with regards to the consumption of the CPU. An optical CPU should still generate far less heat than an electronic CPU with far lower efficiency, given the same levels of power consumption.
I'm probably wrong, because again I'm not an electrical engineer...
If I had mod points at the moment you'd get some. I was about to ask the same question. Why is there a need to reinvent the wheel, when the current wheel rolls just fine? Unless of course the parent was referring to the need for 'trusted' kernels with regards to DRM, then I could see the need for a 'secure microkernel';)

A /.'ing that I can actually cheer for!
Do the words 'proof of concept' mean anything to you?
Logging off and then on again will do the same thing for you 95% of the time. Try it instead of rebooting next time you want to play Half Life.

No, it is unfair because it's not a uniform standard for all signatory nations. Read it and read some analysis of it before you shoot your text off.

You're right, I've been here for many years but I'm not a mindless follower like most here are.

Go ahead...I have far more karma to burn than you can take away from me
And this is stuff that matters because????
Ah well. I guess I just don't get the newsworthiness of it.
Mod me down as off topic, but I'd like to personally thank the parent poster for his service and his lucid post.
Because the Tin Foil Hat(tm) crowd demands it!!!

That's exactly why you should go to Sport Compact Racing instead of the 'Tex. The Whoretex is full of assess for the most part.

It's amazing what a simple ECU upgrade can do to a turbocharged engine with regards to performance
What NASA tech? You can buy the same hardware and OS from SGI too. There isn't anything proprietary about it.
"Why do we really need one."

So what? Life is not fair and never has been. I'm sure history is rife with examples of people 'not getting their due'.
Waaaa...waaaa...waaaaaahhhh. Cry me a river!
It's cheaper to have your fabs only have to worry about one core.
I play all of my MP3's via my home network and my TiVo. It's painfully easy to setup.
Trust me on this one, kids.
More mass market crap. I've been brewing a caffeinated stout (using real, fresh roasted and ground coffee) for ages!
If he works for them, the odds are they have full rights of ownership on anything he develops while in their employ.
Keep imagining...state of the art spy sattelites can supposedly read license plates and even the rank insignia's on a soldier's uniform.
