Well, I've never heard of a court ordering someone to provide evidence that they're not guilty,
That's because we have a right against self incrimination. However corporate entities have no inherent rights under our constitution. Only the ones that they have bought for themselves, and in this case it seems they did a little dirty work for them.
Just curious. What liberties have you lost due to anti-terror legislation in whatever country you are living in?
Well to paint it in broad brush strokes for you, in my estimation every amendment of the original Bill of Rights, from 4 to ten, not including 7, have been infringed in some way due to terror fever.
And this is a very good correlation, with a known scientific model that points to causation.
I know that, but I wasn't arguing against global warming. It just bothered me that instead of framing the model it was more like o my look at teh charts!. Or did I miss all the evidence of causation that they put in there?
The links between CO2 and global temperature are well correlated for hundreds of thousands of years.
That's the one thing that really bothered me about that movie. I realize that they were going for a general audience and that's why they put the CO2 charts in there because they are dramatic. But for me it hurt the movies credibility.
The first thing I thought when I saw those charts was 'correlation doesn't equal causation'.
As of the time of this post, this thread has officially become the largest wank fest on the face of the planet. This is a huge accomplishment and congratulations are in order to you Slashdot.
I consider myself well informed of all the stuff you are talking about there, and I agree with your post. But one thing I haven't heard of is the ex post facto thing. What is the deal with that one?
I don't get it. How does anyone lose money in any way by having open hardware? Hell, if you think about it they don't even need to pay for firmware development, if the hardware is nice enough people would write it for them, people would praise them. I just can't understand the logic behind keeping these things secret.
Sure, I understand the reason, greed, but it seems pretty foolish because I can see no gained money or protected profit.
Hmm... I guess human rights violations only happen in the USA! I don't know why anyone wants to live here! After all, the Sudan, Somalia, Iran, China, Cuba, and North Korea are much better places to live! You don't have to worry about religious or ideological persecution there!
The difference between the US and those other countries is that the US started off purely to protect the rights of the people, and has slowly regressed from that goal. You can research for yourself why the others exist, but obviously they weren't altruistic. As it is this post is just devil's advocate flamebait.
Neither of those are constitutionally protected rights, which is what TFA is about.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
I repeat NO!! Insightful? More like complete ignorance of the Bill of Rights. Have you ever heard of the 9th amendment? Im starting to realize that we're sliding backwards in time and are going to until we convene another constitutional convention or god help us another revolution. Because too many people just don't understand what was actually intended by the founders of the U.S.A. And dare I say they don't care?
Well I don't really feel a need to respond to that, since it is mostly obviously ridiculous on it's face, but I would like to point out that I violated no copyrights, and I merely have standards in the software I use. And btw, that last sentence is particularly childish and ludicrous.
Oh and I didn't mean to be disrespectful, but I obviously came off that way because of the silly way that you laced your comment with profanity. It's just that my stupid ideology gets me pumped up sometimes. I did at least make a semi-coherent argument though, which I'm not so sure you did.
That statement sums up why Ubuntu, and probably Linux, will never be a suitable replacement OS on most desktop systems. I'm sorry, thats not insightful, that is stupid horseshit. It's that retarded attitude that allows MS and other companies to implement DRfuckingM, and other evil Rights stomping profit protections. If you think its cool to have to call someone for permission to turn on your computer, then have fun with that. It's that attitude that allows the government to listen to your phonecalls just as long as they protect you from the 'terrorists'. Seriously. Fuck you and that sheep ass attitude. You deserve everything you get in our Orwellian future.
Why is using redhat users as beta testers bad? Redhat makes its money off of companies and the fanboys get redhat for free, plus they get to take part in development.
However, RPM is wronger than nuns in a tampon commercial.
The end result should be a 200 page paper back book that is required reading for a high school student.
I can see it now... a book which teaches teens about such
topics as beastiality and the myriad deviant human behavior. Pat Robertson will be behind this 100%.

That was cool. I never heard a post in an English accent in my head before.
Excuse me, how much did you donate to her campaign now? I'm just sayin' ya know?

If they aren't down my life's passion of snuff films, poop sex and tentacle porn then let em starve.
You inspired me to check it out. I don't think .rm means 'Ready for Mplayer'. What the fuck MIT?
And to add to the weirdness,
I was in Colorado for the 'cold winter 2005' until April and I think it snowed maybe 3 times and was generally mild.

I wish you could have made your point with out mentioning slashdot.xxx I'm not even sure what the nightmares I'm going to have because of that entail.

Your grandmothers extreme debian zealotry is yet another example of what is wrong with opensource software.

Seems to me people would remember the pledge of allegiance? Liberty and justice for all". Seems like indoctrination didn't work.

No no no. This is the internet. We don't tolerate that kind of response around here.
