I agree with you that access to these papers should be free, but don't assume that everyone wanting to read these papers had paid for the research with taxes. Many will be outside the country of origin. Others will use dodgy schemes to avoid paying taxes altogether. I'm really talking about the former.
The consideration happens outside the premises, at the door. Person reads sign, considers, and either consents (enters store) or doesn't consent (walks away).
So the future is looking bleak for OCXML (Office *Closed* XML) but what's with the claim about last month? This issue wasn't over a month ago so why the cryptic headline?
Uhhh isn't this a contract? By stepping onto their property you are consenting to their (clearly visible) terms. When agreeing to a contract you pretty much always surrender some of your rights. At the door you still have the right to not have your bag searched, until you agree to a contract that says otherwise, in this case by stepping on the premises
That depends on your definition of evolution now doesn't it? If you take the literal definition of 'change over time' then nobody is going to deny that happens. My clock is telling a different time than it did two minutes ago, so strictly speaking it has evolved. Big deal.
I think you'll find that's DE-evolution through selective breeding. It happens to humans too (look at the european upper classes). That's something that no self-respecting creationist denies.
Officer Arroyo: "Give me your driver's license or I will place you under arrest." Me: "My name is Michael Righi. I am not willing to provide you with my driver's license." ... My three siblings sat in the back of the Buick crying their eyes out, which is the only part of today that I regret.
You don't see any way you could have prevented that, do you? Something I consider important when standing up for our liberties is knowing when and where to pick our battles. I'm not sure a family outing such as you described is one such moment. Of course you were absolutely in your rights for not showing your receipt, and the person was silly to demand it, but seriously what did you hope to achieve by refusing but to antagonise?
A lot of stores in my area have clear signs stating that consenting to a bag search is a condition of entry. Don't like it? Don't go in the store. Not a problem. They also never seem to be struggling for business.
I wonder what this guy was trying to prove with his ass-hattery.
For some time now I had been hoping the Flightgear community would plug into something like Google Earth. Now it seems the opposite has taken place but I wonder how their flight models compare?

To say nothing of the total absence of Flatulent Ferret.

So what you're saying is - God might be going for a trick shot?
So.... we'd best put on our pirate garb before it's too late, me hearty?
I'm guessing you don't support the ODF format then...
But that's one of the great thing about standards; there's so many to choose from!
When looking at that graph, remember to group "Approval with comments" with "Approval", since their effect is the same.
Eudora, are you kidding me?
I'm tagging this one 'phoenix'. Rather fitting, since they've already used that name on another product.
Damn where's that Aspurgus guy when we need him, the one who rants here about all censorship being evil?
Cool. Anyone know if there's a GIMP plugin for this sort of thing?
A bit like how the US hasn't gone to "war" since 1942.

They could make them shake with an alternating rolling motion like a wet dog. Not only would it be effective, but rather comical to behold.

I'm guessing you've never seen Contact.

Sorry we got caught, we'll try not to let it happen again.
