Should the customer be able to decide what games he/she plays on the machine they own? The only party that has fewer 'rights' in this case is the consumer. And that is bullshit.

If you thought delivery of AO content was ever part of the deal, think again.
As an employer, grades really aren't a top concern. I graduated with 2.85, I know skills go beyond grade. An interview is really where I'd make my decision.
But how do you make the initial cut that gets a candidate to an interview?
There isn't time for this. Take-Two needs get back on track. To focus on Grand Theft Auto. Franchise gold. It's delusional to think the AO rating for GTA 4 is out-of-bounds.
Thousands of U.S. webcasters plan to turn off the music and go silent this Tuesday, June 26th
It's June. The kids are out of school. The boat is in the water. The hamburgs are on the grill. There are a million better things to do than listen to the radio - any radio.
I'd say it was about specific commercial interest. Lincoln was backed specifically by the railroad lobby, to build railroads in the north, with tariffs levied mainly in the South.
The american railroad was financed by:
The british investor who saw a chance to make some serious money and, in the west, by
grants of federal land which could be sold to settlers along the route.
Investment in southern rail was minimal, since most southern trade moved and would continue to move by water. Increases in the tariff, which was a tax on imports and the primary support for the federal government, was not going to change that proposition in the least.
The American Civil War wasn't about slavery or even states' rights. It was about economics. The northern states had the lion's share of the GDP of the young US and, thus, had a greater attention from the Federal government
Not true.
It was only in the 1950s that evidence even began to show that slavery, far from being economically backward, was an extremely efficient and productive form of labor, and that the organization of large plantations anticipated in many ways the assembly line and modern factory production. Only in fairly recent years have we learned that the greatest concentration of rich pre-Civil War Americans lived in the Deep South, and that in 1860 the market value of slaves exceeded that of the nation's railroads and factories combined; and that if the South had been a separate country, it would have been more prosperous than any European nation except England.The Central Fact of American History
DeWItt Clinton, fed up by a Southern-dominated government committed New York to financing the Erie Canal on its own. Federal spending on "Internal Improvements" - the economic infrastructure vital to the north - scarcely exists before the Civil War.
northern states relied on cheap immigrant labor or an indentured servant to fuel industrialization
The indentured servant is colonial era. pre-industrial.
The teen entering into an apprenticeship. The adult contracting five to seven years of labor in exchange for passage to America - in those early days, a very, very, expensive proposition.
The Irish laborers who built the Erie knew nothing of it.
It's time to restart building those networks and move off the commercial ISPs. Does anybody know any good places to start this? I'm ready to interconnect with my neighbours.
But do your neighbors want to connect with you?
The first question they will ask is who climbs up the pole - who crawls out on the roof - when it is twenty below?
I've been wondering why this hasn't happened yet for years. The answer, of course, is that the ag industry could rely on incredibly cheap labor, so it wasn't worth developing a technological replacement.
Mechanical harvesters have been used in orchards for decades - and you have never needed robotics to produce an efficient, economical, machine.
The problem is - as any farmer will tell you - lies in the difference between the demanding but lucrative fresh produce market and that of the canner.
I don't see why Rockstar doesn't try to leverage GTA IV in order to get this sucker released
Rockstar will be damn lucky if GTA 4 doesn't get the kiss of death rating --- now that the ESRB and the British are on a roll.
If the new execs at Take Two have any sense at all they will have begun a frame-by-frame analysis of every move, every scene, every line of dialogue in GTA 4 that might sink the franchise.
I wish they would reconsider, because that's a kick in the balls after so much money, time, and effort has been sunk by developers to create this.
Then maybe a kick in the balls is what Take Two and Rockstar need. I'll take the odds that Take Two promised its "partners in crime" a crisis-free summer and a glitch-free launch of GTA IV -- and that ain't gonna happen.

It's not like we don't buy American media right now, although Canadian artists will be very happy if American companies quit selling their products here. If you refuse to allow legal sale of your product in our country, are we under any obligation at all to respect your IP rights?

A team of international investigators infiltrated an Internet chat room used by pedophiles who streamed live videos of children being raped, rescuing 31 children and identifying more than 700 suspects worldwide.
The chat room, which was called "Kids the Light of Our Lives," featured images, including live videos, of children -- some only months old -- being subjected to horrific sexual abuse, said Jim Gamble, chief executive of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Center in Britain.
"You could go and if you were in the club, arrange a time and a place when online you could view a child being raped and brutalized in real time."
For instance, the point behind the geodesic dome was that it enclosed the maximum volume with the least materials.
This notion is at least as old as The Octagon House, A Home For All, published by Orson Squire Fowler in 1848.
But in residential construction it sucks. Big time.
The octagon brings light and air to the central core, but interior living spaces take on very odd shapes and sizes. The roof will always leak because its design and construction is an exercise in frustration even to the original builder.
most of them have a bust of Shakespeare hidden somewhere about their apartment, and consider him to be the sine qua non of literature, even though he was actually his era's equivalent of a Hollywood screenwriter. If he was alive today, he'd be doing Buffy episodes.
Which is another way of saying he was a shrewd and innovative craftsman of popular entertainments.
Speeds had been standardised to 78 rpm by then. It wasn't until the late 1940s that vinyl microgroove records, with their associated playing speeds, appeared.
audio books for the blind were being recorded at long-play speeds in the mid-thirties. about a half-hour per disk.
There was an opportunity to set up a totally different copyright system for audio works (which are fundamentally different from the written word), but rather than innovate, Congress established the system that is so abused today.
Fundamentally different?
The acoustic recording catalog was as rich in non-musical content as the modern.

That is not what is going to happen. Precisely because console gaming is attracting more adults.
