Just an open question to anybody who may know... Will the introduction of software patent laws in India benefit foreign companies that outsource Intelletual Property to India for support/modification/updating work? Is it possible these Indian software patent laws are being created to appease US companies worried about IP theft? With software patent laws in India will foreign outsourcers have legal recourse for IP theft? Just curious.
You mod this to a 2,Funny! At best it's off-topic. At worst it's stereotyping an entire state based on something that has not legally existed for over 100 years!!
Of course we in Utah "protect our own". Why shouldn't we with all the negative Utah comments spewing here. Despite the Linux Lackey opinions on SCO etc, Utah has given the tech world many advances, Novell, WordPerfect, Altiris etc. The RFID legislation is just the latest in a tech savvy state dealing with modern problems. Deal with it!
I agree the that the best way to avoid any future acts of mass terrorism would be to change any reasons that perpertrate it rather than to stop it before it occurs. That is a good point, however, the origin of the fanatical hatred of the USA is not based on financial support (or lack thereof) of middle eastern countries but rather the USA's backing/support of Israel. It is a threat by association that the USA faces. As long as Israel continues to exist there will be anti US sentiment by every fanatical muslim extremist in the middle east. It is a very unfortunate but unavoidable situation. Is the US support of Israel not a just cause? Just as liberating Kuwait in 1991 was, or forming the alliance in WW2 to beat back Nazi Germany? Freedom has a cost. We express our choice for freedom internationally through our foreign policy. How fanatical muslim extremists intrepretted it played a major role in 9/11. We should never abandon our beliefs to appease others. That is a basic tenet of North American culture. Is that what you propose?
I suppose your anti-american rant can somehow justify killing 3000+ people? Maybe if the rest of the world quit asking for financial support we could stop playing global cop and fix the many things that are wrong here at home. Funny how a Canadian ends up defending america. Do you hate your own country that much? Shame on you!
Explain your profanity filled blurb to the families of the 3000+ victims of 9/11, I'm sure you find a sympathetic ear there. Obviously 8 years of underfunding the US intelligence communities have paid off tremendously. Anything would be better than Clinton/Gore's brand X foreign policy.
In the same manner that many religous groups feel that their religous freedoms are being threatened every day in the USA? Curious isn't it. How civil liberties work for both sides of the political spectrum.
With modern database technologies is it just a matter of time before every single public interaction results in a warrant check via national crime computers? Also, with Biometrics becoming more of a reality maybe ID's won't gbe required in the future afterall.
Jump in a car like the rest of us! Just another victim of modern American society. What a sham! This is such a gross waste of Judicial time. Doesn't this moron have anything better to do with his pre-crash millions.

For every John Ashcroft there is a Janet Reno.

In San Jose try the the little techhead shop across the street from Fry's called "Weird Stuff". I loved it!
Hoo Doggy.
Seattle does indeed rock for techie related lifestyles, and it doesn't hurt having a starbucks within 500 feet everywhere you go. :)
Hooo Doggy!
