it is, except that most e-mail is equivalent to a postcard since without opening the envelope it is possible to read...

Ok, I'm a people, a 2 year old baby is a people, you are posting on the internet therefore you are most likely a people. a newly concieved zygote human one each is a people too. killing people is wrong.
a mosquito... Not a people a pig not a people either. a carrot not a people a cow... Not a people a pine tree... Not a people a pinworm... Not a people a computer... Not a people space aliens... Not a people
Now this is very simplistic and has in times past been used to justify all manner of abomination(slavery etc) so how do we know if a is a people or not? DNA.
But I'm pro DP how do I reconcile organized killing of a people there? A consious cognizant people may demonstrate through murder, rape, etc a need to be rendered harmless and to set an example for other brain damaged peoples, we execute the people who is a danger to other peoples and we do it dispassionately, humanely and certainly. If there is uncertainty we either imprison or release. that is our custom and our law.
Perhaps you missed the bit about the braided cords.
Up until the last 100-150 years a whip of braided cords would not be something needing a description, but here goes. A whip of cords consists of 3-30 cords each approximately the same length(18-30 inches) each individually weighted toward the end. When weilded by a skilled or strong man each cord would strike nearly simultaneously leaving one stripe or mark per cord. With the first 1-3 strikes, the skin would turn red... the 4-7th would break the skin drawing blood. each subsequent would tear deeper into the skin somewhere around 30-40 the victim would likely lose consiousness and between 60 and 80 the victim might die of blood loss or spinal cord damage.
like the thousands of military absentee ballots that were thrown out because the signature wasn't perfectly in the middle of the sig block?? Or the notary seal wasn't clear enough?
Agree with OP, settling is never the right decision. Thus far IBM has spent enough on legal fees to have acquired SCO, Paying off a blackmailer is always foolish. Because you will either be hit up again... OR hit up again by someone else. If you intend to stay in business more than 10 years, its worth taking it before the judge. paying 10k per year or 2 years vs paying 30k once is the right call.
3 Astronaut qualifying "test" flights plus any number of non-qualifying... someone said 160, and I'll buy that.
there were 2 flight required and accomplished for the X prize, but if you believe that those were the only two flights. or even the only two successful ones..
And at that point unless the car is out of warranty, any damage is the dealer's problem ANYWAY. And pain/suffering/emotional distress/manufacture of a deathtrap/etc
If a car I own behaves like that first the car goes into neutral, then the parking(emergency for those old-timers) brake, then if automatic.... Parking pin... all the while with brakes fully enabled.
You think this was accidental? I'm not suggesting conspiracy but the deception seems intentional. and could have been cleared up with "Connie Rice, NPR commentator".
So you believe in pollution? which is less than half as bad as a generation ago.
Overpopulation when we have sufficient resources for over 30B people to live on this planet.
Dwindling energy reserves when we have enough oil for another 50 years assuming population increases at the rate it has over the last 100 years and over 100 if it stabilizes as it appears to be doing.
We will begin commercial exploitation of space and population excursions within the next 50 years.
Don't believe the hype. And if you do, stop driving, give away your TV and computer(s) and live from dawn til dusk.
Gallons of water( which is what we are approaching with 2/3L bottles) usually run $.39-$.69 depending on brand and location... most I've seen was a gas station at 1.19.
No, the BULK of the tax cut should go to the BULK of the taxpayer and if that means I pay $200 less and bill gates pays $50K less than that means I have an incentive to get that rich.
You didn't notice the storyline in doom?? that you advance as you progress? in all three versions... same with wolfenstein.

Ok, Acclaim went away last week. Sierra is still going strong... Origin went BACK into the EA fold Interplay appears to still be around, ditto for looking glass.

Just because they have shrunk due to poor products(black and white, etc.) doesn't mean they are gone, and doesn't mean piracy is to blame.

Well, someone earlier commented that you can't own something unless you can chain or fence it, I guess with No IP, instead of chaining or fencing a painting, song, poem or video game, you just chain the artist or developer. Seems to be the complaint we already have
And I know you aren't anti-IP, this just seemed a convienient place to interject.

Carrots suffer too. Is it Ok to kill grown up or just infant carrots?

don't do this at gamestop/ebgames/etc mall boutique stores, they will re-shrink and sell as "new".

That is all well and good, but the penalty comes
$95k income taxed at 20%
$75k left
100K income($5k RAISE

make sense now??
