We are not required to give free speech to citizens of foreign nations who leak diplomatic confidential communiques and battle plans. They are not calling assange an "enemy of the state". They are calling him an enemy of the United States. It doesnt mean the US is going arrest him anymore than the US would arrest an Iranian military attache. It just means now that US government employees and military personnel who leak information to him would be committing a crime.
Leaking information to legitimate journalists regarding specific wrongdoing is protected , whats not protected is wholesale information dumps regardless of sensitivity of the information or any sort of legitimate public interest.
When smart people with the means to immigrate come to this country Its a benefit to us even to American smart people. The idea that immigration depresses wages is based on flawed static economic models. Immigration to the US goes down when unemployment goes up.
I want you techies to view it this way. When immigrants from asia come to this country they have little asian girls, who grow up to be asian hotties who like marrying nerds who produce the holy grail the eurasian hottie who likes nerds.
More visas now= generations of asian and eurasian hotties for your grandsons(or granddaughters...I support equal rights for lgbt folks)
Im sure judges are getting tired of all these patent suits and would happily hang their hat on whatever point of law that would produce the most productive and expeditious result consistent with due process. If a court can narrow the application of a law in a way that reduces their workload, you bet they will.
Laws on prior restraint of speech like they have there would never get past judicial review in the US because of the 1st amendment. Any law trying to ban the written word would face strict scrutiny unless the material itself is considered obscene. The american legal test requires it to be
"whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value." which makes it very hard to prosecute even if they can get a conviction they are often tossed out on appeal.

"The day an unemployed iron worker can lay in his Barcalounger with a Fosters in one hand and a channel flicker in the other and f--k Claudia Schiffer for $19.95, it's gonna make crack look like Sanka."- Dennis Miller on Virtual Reality - 6/16/95
Having failed to exterminate humanity twice...it tried a different approach. Well played skynet....well played.
Pioneer 6 which was transmitting signal for 35 years (until 2000) Pioneer 7 last known contact 29 years from launch (until 1995) Pioneer 8 last known contact 29 years after launch (until 1996) Pioneer 9 lasted 15 years
Pioneer 10 1972-2002 (although a weak signal was received in 2003) Pioneer 11 1973-1995
In florida we spend a week just administering FCAT and spend months preparing for it. We require it for high school graduation. One problem with this...colleges dont care about the FCAT, not a single college even in FLORIDA will ask you will ask you about your fcat score.
They ask for SAT and ACT scores because those are multi-state tests that politicians cant screw with to manipulate scores.
Someone with Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome is born physically female and her body does not respond to testosterone. Until the 20th century these women were born lived and died as women, the only difference from every other woman is that they could not have children since they had no ovaries. Their bodies produced sufficient estrogen to develop as a woman in every other way.
transgender is someone who is born of one gender and is mentally another gender and takes steps to rectify that.
No political science is not necessary...for an engineer. A generalized class in American government and politics would be useful for the average citizen as would be survey classes that included basic practical real world algebra and geometry, consumer math, statistics, and basic logic.
Requiring a high school student to pass Algebra courses which include quadratic equations to get out high school is as ridiculous, as is requiring high school students to read chaucer. In other words students not going to college are either bored out of their minds or not prepared to do anything practical and with no useful skills.
Only 30% of adults have college degrees yet we require high school students to take courses like algebra mostly because they are college prep courses. The question is what are we preparing the other 70% for?
The truth of the matter is I can make a much stronger argument for the revival of vocational education than I can for either political science or algebra. Just because someone CAN go to college doesnt mean they WANT to but they dont see any other choice they can live with.
carry fake notes should not be assasulted. At most they should be asked to leave the premises or detained while police are called if a crime is suspected.
The only people that are affected by region codes are people who want to want to watch foreign dvds often stuff that has never been released and never will be in other parts of the world. Often stuff purchased legally on vacation.
Amazon is much better than wal-mart in selling goods from mom and pop businesses and boutique brands. They have warehouses warehouses need goods made by workers. amazon is much better for manufacturers and people who make things than walmart with its outsourcing.
Imagine a world run by librarians...all information is free and uncensored but we all have to speak in whisper voices and women have to wear their hair in buns and sensible shoes and tearing pages out of library books would punishable by a year in jail.
autohop doesnt just fast forward which is just time shifting which is a common service it also blacks out the screen which is a material alteration in the programming. Its also not just a "technological feature" its part of a paid satellite service which is essentially competing against broadcast networks with their own product..
Rather than the "who did what" test while just assuming it promotes innovation then software patents might actually be viable. However promoting innovation is a higher threshhold then just "non-obvious". Also promoting innovation in software should mandate a shorter patent length. Anyone understand why DVDs are under patent until 2016??? A 20 year patent should pass the "holy cow!" test. A software algorithm for controlled fusion reactions. On the other hand If a reasonbly comptent programmer can replicate the invention independently without seeing the patent or the code, then that should fail a "promoting innovation" test.
Even if only 1 out of 100 Apple Ipad customers were concerned about that, it would still be worth it. Apples customers are concerned about human rights or at least they think they are. They dont have to satisfy everyone but if they make 9 out of 10 concerned people satisified at a small cost that leaves 1 in a 1000 and they likely wont be satisified no matter what apple does.
Not only was it opportunistic but the vulnerability comes from A MICROSOFT PRODUCT(It was an office for mac issue)!
If I were apple and feeling particulary snarky I would send out an email to my users warning about microsoft software including the microsoft post and recommend that they not use Office for Mac and switch over to Libreoffice for a more secure computing experience.

Until Chrome and firefox are no longer supported on XP, XP will still have modern browsers.
XP users will just stop using IE(which is a blessing for the internet in of itself)

One percenters did live in castles. So did female servants..and mistresses and courtesans and seamstresses.
