Who's laws? Ours? Theirs? Some humanoid caveman? A dolphin?
To think we know all of reality is absurd. We only know a small part of what is going on in the universe. Not only that we could easily be running on a false assumption/observation that would completely break down every law of physics we think we know.
We have not been around all that long, we are NOT experts.
This in my opinion is one of the 2 main flaws that our founders left us with. The supreme court can simply refuse to hear a case that has made it all the way to their door.
Now i wouldn't want them to be bogged down by minor issues, but if a case makes it thru all the appeals and is a constitutional issue, they should be required to hear and rule on it.
Being able to pick and choose, makes them more powerful than the other 2 branches combined, when it should be a check/balance system instead.
Microsoft has said that Motorola's patents are standard, essential parts of its software and that Motorola is asking far too much in royalties for their use.
WTF? Go cry me a river. Since when does a company ( that isn't a monopoly ) have to be fair and charge 'reasonable' prices? Especially to the competition...
Hate to break it to you but us in the BSD camp haven't been hand editing much lately either to get the basics going. I haven't edited a xorg.conf in years, or ttys to get x/kdm to run..
Many ports even add themselves to rc.conf to auto start....
Its still being paid for by tax dollars, but at least there is no additional fee to the parents, unless of course you have nothing to view them on.. so 'free' e-ink for all..
That was about the same time i jumped ship and went to BSD ( 386BSD first, then Net.. Then Free.. now PC ( which is basically Free + a pretty installer and some cool utilities )
Or was it 4.3, then net.. its been a while and i honestly don't remember, beyond that i moved to the other camp, mainly due to the coming fracturing of the community, and the general degradation of the people in it. Didn't want the confusion or attitude, plus it was tons more mature.

Or just use it like it *should* be, and not locked down to one particular vendor's file format.
Without epub support the thing is worthless to me.
Now get out the way old man!
Oh wait, I'm older than you... All kidding aside, as long as you are still breathing and conscious, its never too late to learn something new.
TV and healthy minds don't belong in the same sentence.

However, a ribbon ( or a ring, if you like ) would be.
And the citizens lose, as free access to knowledge takes another step backwards.
Because he's a pinhead.
Ya, they wont disable the transmitter, that would be against the law.

Uh...
Yes.

You do realize we had ports before Linux even existed, right?
The default assumption of these automated checkers is that anything shared is infringing
And that is all by design. Its a natural extension to the PR campaign to sway peoples opinions by manipulating their knowledge.
Ok, was this a real post that got yanked or some one being cute?

Not even a blip. Its 'optional' to use them. Publishers and professors will continue the scam they are running for the foreseeable future.

Given the numerous articles about copyright enforcement bots recently, it makes me wonder why there is so little human oversight about account banning
Because the average Joe on the street has no idea what is going on. All the articles and discussions are only to/by/for the choir.
And once the average guy does figure things out, the media will step in and twist it around so he thinks its a good thing.
If you have ANY loose legal ends that you have not tied up, don't make a public statement that the government doesn't like.
Your 'rights' end at the door.
I don't know if id call forced deadlines as 'cheerleading'.
Its only going to get worse.
Its a choice, not a law. The police needs to stick to enforcing the law, which is their job.
And hope you don't get caught and sent to prison.
