You might think so, but the FBI warning at the beginning of old VHS tapes disagrees. I'm willing to be the laws referenced therein are not repealed as of yet.
I'm not saying I support her specifically, just that I believe leaders in a representative government have a responsibility to listen to the will of the populace to some extent, and not just during elections with no intent of acting on it.
When have you ever seen IP lawyers overreach their position in any "honest" way? Their methods are ham-handed shotgun approaches. Shoot randomly and hope it hits something.
When you think about it, domains are only as valid as people's willingness to use the commonly accepted DNS system and servers. It would be no more difficult on a technical level to replace the standard DNS servers with alternates of your own choosing.
That's a nice theory, but in practice, the only way to preserve a free and civilized society is constant vigilance and preparedness. Unarmed law-abiding citizens and armed criminals is a recipe for nothing good.
Linus is not going to change because one Intel developer didn't like how he says things. It's not about whether she likes it, it's a matter of what works for the community as a whole. So far, we've had a couple decades of kernel success and advances. I'm inclined to side with Linus. On the other hand, she did get her name out there, which I'd have never even heard if she hadn't done it.
When it comes down to it, as long as the system provides the means to demand courses be reversed if they are going wrong in a timely manner, even an insane population should still be workable. The trick is to educate them on the issues, not just ask really vague poll questions.
I'm not sure I like that bald-faced attack on dwarves. It ends up siding against dwarves while equating the NSA with the Uruk-hai, and I don't think that's fair to the Uruk-hai.
I still think KDE 3.11 should have been emblazoned with custom splashes reading "for WorkKroups" or something by default. Version 3.11 has become something of a running gag in software circles.
I was once on a jury where a woman (guilty as sin, btw) was being tried for DWI. Under state law, that would include both alcohol and drugs (whether prescribed or not). The evidence suggested a strong probability that prescription back pain pills were involved. In the closing statements, the prosecutor specified the charges only included alcohol. We had to acquit as a result of this.
To be fair, in the Zimmerman case, the prosecution didn't actually successfully make a case in the first place.
Universal single-occupant car ownership and use is a product of the US not getting the living crap bombed out of it during World War II. Notice all those nice transportation systems in Europe? Well, those were a combination of necessity and opportunity. You have a lot of free rein in, say, devastated Japanese cities to run roads, tracks, and whatever else you want after a war than you do in pristine postwar Houston. In fact, since the non-destroyed cities aren't in reconstruction, the idea of a major project that would displace existing things and change stuff will be a tough sell in the first place.
I have a problem with Facebook because I keep it around mostly to keep in touch with very different groups of people. I have a bunch of cousins and uncles and such in other states, and then I have a bunch of people I used to go to church with in another state. And somehow, everything gets weird when they blur together in a thread. People are, socially, different dependent upon which group they are around, and it almost forces the creation of a new you. Not on purpose, just that need to conduct oneself in a way that makes sense to everyone.
The NSA on top of that makes it even more uncomfortable.

Amen. I have no desire to be Mr. Buttle either.
We've seen its face before. It's just been a long time since we saw it up close and personal.
then it's still none of their damn business. Consittutionally speaking.

The CIA is and always has been an intelligence/espionage agency. Blurb is incorrect to call them law enforcement

I think .biz was helpful, in that I don't trust any domain name that ends in .biz.

That's dependent upon who is doing the tricking, of course.

I'm pretty sure that's the point of representative government....
I'll take a leader who leads people places they want to go over leaders that go wherever the hell they want any day of the week.

Actually, she was an impressively successful businesswoman. She was not only older than him, but also hired him at her business.
It's not the first time a court has been wrong, and I promise you it won't be the last.

and how he has. Good show, old man!

As we know, the government has a way with creative interpretation of words. In this case, they will simply claim it's not "arbitrary".
I hope the lawsuit over this gets more than a little publicity. I see a lot of zeroes coming a certain now-unemployed guy's way.

and frankly, for the average non-technical user, that's enough.
