You're right, you can. And how many users are really paying to the license when they install an application?
Right, but what implications will this have, for example, on PHP applications which typically store sensitive information in the source files. (Sensitive being database passwords, directory paths, etc). Say an author codes in a means to output the sourcecode of any of the applications files including the one with the configuration information in it. Is the user forbidden from removing that function, or modifying it? Most people I know currently frown upon that kind of functionality, we call it a "backdoor"/trojan, but the GPL3 could endorse it?
Have I completely misunderstood the impact of such a clause?
What's you're point? I'm already familiar with the Ninth Amendment. However, you don't quite understand the word 'enumerated' and, furthermore, the reason of my post. I guess.

The point of the post that you responded to was this:
Yes, the right to privacy isn't specifically listed in the Constitution but, still, it exists.
What you mean is: "If one group is thrown in jail more frequently than another group then I probably will have pulled them over more frequently to throw them in jail."
Fine difference. Of course, that's just how I feel.
You mean 'the constitutional right to privacy is not enumerated. The U.S. Supreme, though ruling on a different issue, has confirmed this right on June 26th 2003.
Change the urn:bitprint: to "urn:sha1" and the link should work correctly with Shareaza - atleast, that's what I had to do so I could download the file (instead of initiate a search).
"Let me understand this correctly: do the US grant human rights to their population because that is a reflection of their deeply held beliefs, or do they do so only because they're forced to by their constitution and various other legal constructs?"
No, we grant rights/powers to the government - not the other way around.
"Maybe your def of 'plenty' turns out to be less than the number of stupid/ignorant people you can find in any country on the face of this planet?"
Yea, I'm sure you can find more people in X country that are ignorant of B, than the number of Americans that can't even recognize their countries' flag.
"In fact, very few Americans seem to know what the Iraqi flag looks like"...
Not surprising; Plenty of Americans don't even know what the American flag looks like.
Being American (living in or near small/isolated towns, so I know what it's like), you can live your entire life without ever needing to worry about foreign oppression, lack of resources, politics and worldly events, or even what the government is up to.
How could this be, I wondered. I added that from my experience (and the experience related by my friends who did not go to a private school like I did), kids needed *more* homework, not less."
Giving a child 100 problems of '10 + 35 = x' type equations (for example) will often frustrate a student. Chances are they'll become careless with their homework, possibly making more mistakes in their homework and schoolwork. Lots of busy-work != quality education.
Guess what, take away all the customrs, and the business will die
That's right. We stop everyone in PA from looking at kiddie porn on the internet and, quite suddenly and amazingly, all the sick pedophiles stop molesting children. Even the ones in PA!

Yea, no big deal. I just don't like being mistook ;)

You mean 'the constitutional right to privacy is not enumerated. The U.S. Supreme, though ruling on a different issue, has confirmed this right on June 26th 2003.
In 2002:
58% - social spending
14% - national debt
13.5% - military spending
9% - administration
3% - transportation
1% - foreign affairs
1.5% - misc
Social spending increased by 9% over the previous year. Military spending increased 7%.
Unless you have a magic crystal ball, any figures for 2003 are incomplete.
"A year and a half without a terrorist act. Either the Patriot Act works or the terrorists have been in a good mood lately. My guess is the former."
Remind me, how many terrorist acts on American soil were there in the few years before 9/11?
I was expecting that evil 'bit' story...

"And Russians invented the ion propulsion engine."
Who cares, I was pointing out that ion propulsion isn't new.
"Maybe your def of 'plenty' turns out to be less than the number of stupid/ignorant people you can find in any country on the face of this planet?"
Yea, I'm sure you can find more people in X country that are ignorant of B, than the number of Americans that can't even recognize their countries' flag.
(X and B are completely your pick).
"new technology eg the ion thrusters."
Deep Space 1 - Launched 1998-10-24 12:08:00 UTC - xenon gas ion propulsion engine. American.
I could have sworn the acronym stood for United Nations...
;)
But, hey, what do I know. Maybe everyone keeps accidently hitting the "U" key instead of "I".

That's must be why my internet connection was 0.25 mbps slower yesterday.
... *cough*
I didn't notice anything...
Maybe, since I am not an American, I have a harder time understanding the problem with this ... You are given rights
Just so you get what a lot of the other people have said...:
The government doesn't give us, WE (ultimately) give the government it's rights.
