"Because inventing something is not equal of ownership."
Yes it does. I invite Va-poo-rize, I own it.
Invention + Possession = Ownership
We turn to dictionary.com which I do not believe is controlled by the US Government.
Invent: To produce or contrive (something previously unknown) by the use of ingenuity or imagination.
Possession: Something owned or possessed.
Ownership: Legal right to the possession of a thing.
Semantics do matter.
Now lets try other words you might not be aware of:
Socialism: Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
Captialism: An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.
So my question is, what is so wrong with Verisign or ICANN or anyone else running it? Why does it need to be controlled by the UN? Maybe after the fact that development was "proportionate to the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market" now the UN wants to be "a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy" of the Internet.
Maybe we're not being told the whole agenda. Lets all jump off the Hate the Great-Satan USA bandwagon.
Not just because he is black either! Just kidding.
Seriously though, the rating system doesn't make sense. PG-13 can be anything. So Sam can break out some toned down Pulp Fiction language and make a ton of fans at once. How you might ask?
"JarJar shut the shit up you stupid fuck"
PG-13 ratings can reference "Fuck" one time in a movie as long as it is not referenced in a sexual way.
So Anikan telling Padme he's going to fuck her like the faggot he is, wouldn't work.
It's flamebait when they views of the reader are the same of that of the moderator. I simply think that the government has no business funding NASA. Let the corporations do it. Government doesn't create wealth, it just redistributes it.
by not using anything. I didn't used to have spam before email, text messaging, and the postal system.
Come on, some realistic solution please for the existing system!
that slashdot likes to put it's political slant here and there. But then again, "The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality" - JFK
That makes absolutely not sense whatsoever! Where does NASA get its money from? The non-government employees and contractors. If that is the reason we have a space program that is just income redistribution.... where have I heard of this before? Oh yeah, Socialism.
We have some really cool and expensive pictures of space.
Ya know, there are some people you really respect, sometimes you just think, "hey that guy is a pretty cool guy, i like him" or something along those lines, but this is just NUTS! Fuck that crap.... "oh yeah, Microsoft should have the power to destroy your $1500 of machine" or yeah "the RIAA's search bot for pirated material got you confused with someone else and sorry, you're SOL, look in the EULA, we're not responsible". As long as they have to power to destory our PC, i think we should have the power to put a bullet in whoever did it. Don't mess with my computer. Use you're PATRIOT ACT I & II against me but if M$ or the fucking RIAA is going to be given power to screw up my computer, i'm moving to Canada. This is really sad, this is one of those times I wish I wasn't a republican.
Idiots!
When 90.1% of all your users run IE, 66.1% run Win95/98/ME and 29.3% run WinNT/2K/XP, it seems only obvious which platform an ISP should support. I hate to say this but IE has been by far a superior product out there for the end user browsing the web. All an ISP should have to support is the Internet Connection Wizard, Internet Explorer, and Outlook Express. They should also know Netscape 4.7 & 6 pretty well and know how to navigate a macintosh. However, 90% of the time it is a reboot issue. "Ma'am, have you tried rebooting?" She replys "No I havn't." Badabing badaboom, it amazingly works she tells us when she calls back. The worst thing you can do, which ticks off customers more than anything is to tell them that they have to install something that will allow you to control their computer. They don't like it. As far as linux goes, if they're trying to use that, they're in the same boat as me at that point, refer to the HOWTOs.

5 girlfriends? My wife and I quote "Well I'm glad you didn't lose your titan, I don't have to worry about an anger bang tonight."
When it takes multiple guys six months mining/moving/acquiring/dodging/praying/cooking to get a titan... it matter :)
This is true. Eve Online = Spreadsheets in Space

I say we build the WeatherNet from Star Trek... I mean we already have the technology to teleport and we have tricorders (PDAs).
In the wake of recent releases of Google Desktop 2.0 Beta and Google Talk 1.0 Beta, Gmail now is finally open to everyone. Other exciting rumors suggest that Google may even try to compete with Internet Explorer by producing a product called GBroswer. Other Google features include Maps, Blogger, Hello, iGoogle, Google Earth, and Picasa. Now it appears they've produced a new Google Theme Song.
Glad I don't rely on Slashdot for the absolute latest news about a possible Tsunami.

Now we can spend more money on worthless experiments.... I wish they would have had to evacuate.
