Yes there are many ways the politicians can twist the arm of others to change rules. Just look at how they forced Montana to implement a speed limit on the interstate. They threatened to withhold money for repairing the roads.
If the provision of the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act for issuing subpoenas without judicial action is ruled unconstitutional, and the ruling is upheld, then the efforts of the RIAA will be stopped in their tracks until the law is rewritten.
Nah, they'll just have to do it the old fashioned hard way. Which is, getting enough evidence to get the judge to sign it.
An armed revolution is a very drastic course of action to resort to and not something to be taken lightly, but only after exhausting the other methods of bringing about change. I'm not sure the people who advocate such an action completely understand the consequences of it.
Sec. 3. A person who intentionally sends or causes to be sent an unsolicited commercial e-mail through an e-mail service provider that the sender knew or should have known is located in this state or to an e-mail address that the sender knew or should have known is held by a resident of this state shall do all of the following:
First they came for the hackers. But I never did anything illegal with my computer, so I didn't speak up. Then they came for the pornographers. But I thought there was too much smut on the Internet anyway, so I didn't speak up. Then they came for the anonymous remailers. But a lot of nasty stuff gets sent from anon.penet.fi, so I didn't speak up. Then they came for the encryption users. But I could never figure out how to work PGP anyway, so I didn't speak up. Then they came for me. And by that time there was no one left to speak up.
It is good to see a judge thinking things over instead of following precedent. Precedents have incredible force in our legal system and setting them should be done carefully.
Give man a fire and he'll be warm for the night, set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life:)
Of course the grandparent does bring up a good point, i don't think these computers are going to people who desperately need the three basic necessities. I for one would really like to some first-hand experience over there, but I don't have the time to do it yet. I have a friend who went with his family to Bangladesh for a year when he was in 8th grade.
RFCs have much more respect in open source circles than committee-created standards.
I think that is probably it, other things may influence it, but that one takes the cake. Large committees are often a sign of the second-system effect on something. I think many open source authors try to avoid the second-system effect as much as possible and thus tend to avoid committee driven standards.

I thought Debian pioneered the use of "when it's done" as a release date. Sarge is due out RSN!

Spam SCO's email boxes with ASCII goatse pictures!
Give those trolls something pseudo-productive to do.

How dare you forget the gaping hole of goatse!

My understanding is that if you attack off-duty troops it is terrorism. The best example is the bombing of the Marine barracks way over somewhere.
Its like, hey no fair, we weren't expecting it! I think it is really stupid to think of it that way.
My optiplex gxa (from around 1997) was NOT an AT style mobo/case. I think it was NLX.

That is true, but the US isn't completely a free-market economy. Just look at all the anti-trust laws there are.
And who do you think he is defending Zion from???
The funny thing is that it makes more sense assuming overlap. So having all of them add up to over 100% is probably more correct.
You would have to make sure it is pretty random, places like Yahoo, AOL, and MSN have almost every single sensical name used up already.
Actually the post I originaly replied to was quoting the Parrot Shop Sketch they did.
BK: Tis but a scratch!
A: A scratch, your whole bloody arm is gone.
BK: No it isn't!

Only the popup one works for me. I use Mozilla.

I'm not dead yet, im getting better. I feel happy!

I fought with my sister over whether to watch Garfield and Friends or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Love the card shark comparison, if I only had my mod points :(
I'm gonna be saving that for future quoting.
