When everyone can accurately 3d-print objects, does getting the design for, say, a type of chair then 3d-printing it without paying, count as theft? After all, you're not depriving anyone else of the model chair the 3d specifications were based on.
Indeed it's tragic that the moronic Conservatives didn't go for Ken Clarke as their next leader, I would've supported him wholeheartedly. It's even more tragic that they were probably correct in their assumption, in going for Cameron, that the British public wouldn't vote in Clarke because the Sun/Star/Express-reading imbeciles give much more of a shit about style than substance, and think Clarke is one of the 'old corrupt guys' rather than someone who has a clue.
You're not allowed to give money to other people to give to a political campaign. Even a hint of telling them to do so. Pretty much, you go to jail for this shit.
Uh, what's the point of these laws? A company/CEO can give millions to politicians and get plenty of influence. Compared to that, this would seem pretty much small-fry.
What I'd like to see someone create is a website where an individual could in essence bribe their own representative by promising to donate
You think the best way to deal with a corrupt system is to encourage citizens to start bribing representatives? How about trying to REDUCE corruptuion? I propose state funding of political parties at a FIXED level, and mandatory prison sentences for anyone caught donating.
Waste the time of large numbers of people who have nothing to do with making decisions for Apple, and also the time of those people who actually need help with their Apple equipment.
That'll win hearts and minds for sure.
Worked for the US in Iraq. Of course, you do also need an army to stay for at least 5 years.
'Sicko' seems to have changed the US public opinion somewhat with regards to public healthcare. Certainly there is a critical mass gathering now, in a way there wasn't in the Nixon/Reagan eras.
What kind of retarded legal system does not automatically award repayment of legal fees to an unfairly-accused defence who isn't a big corporation, upon their winning the case? If yours doesn't, it should be changed.
Serious question - how do you have that many people in your life that just want to call up and say hi? I have virtually no-one in my life that takes that much of an interest in me. Did you have these friends from school/college days, or what?
You really just ignore the messages until they get auto-deleted unless you think there's something especially good in there?
And you can never tell whether there is, you have to check them. I'm waiting for,
"Hi. I'm quite a tall, blonde intelligent women, about DD cup size. I tend to wear a knee-length skirt, boots, and tights when I'm out. I've been watching you coming into work every day, and think you're really hot. I managed to get your number and am asking you if you want to come for a drink with me. If so, please call me back."
Disagree entirely. I'm often doing something whereby I can't answer my phone, so I'd rather they left a voicemail than just hang up. As long as they give me some idea of what they were calling about so I can prepare myself before I call back. Most annoying is, 'Hi, this is x. Umm, could you give me a call? Bye.' I often don't bother because they haven't told me WTF I am calling them about. How hard is it?
They might be able to stop its being done on the number of rings, but they can't stop you encoding binary or maybe trinary messages this way. 1 = ring for 1-2 seconds. 2 = ring for 3-4 seconds. 3 = ring for 5-6 seconds.
You're seriously missing an opportunity here. If it sounds like a hot chick, and she actually bothered to ring you back, this is a women who returns calls, and better still you already have her number! Ask her what stuff she likes and where she lives. Maybe some pics of here semi-naked via txt.

Our Congress is tame when you compare it to other countries.
So how do they manage to come up with some of the most retarded, pro-corporate decisions in the world? United in evil and ignorance?

If you had a lion at your door, would you open it and try to tame it or go get your gun?
It's more than double the price!!! Did we get anything extra? NO! Oh yes, sorry, we had to WAIT more than 6 _months_ for a European release
That does seem like a reasonable bargain. It's only a shame they didn't spare us from it for longer.
This article gives me a hunch why my no-name laptop battery dies so quickly even when Ubuntu still thinks it has 10% charge and several minutes left.
It was a Sony battery and it exploded?
Actually, (s)he could have made the post if their battery went half way through, and here's why. The char
If any government officials are listening...
They're not.
Because the congestion charge in London has been defeated in this way...?
Can Apple continue innovating in Job's absence?
Wow! I knew Apple were early starters, but I had no idea they were operating in Biblical times!
hopefully they'll start from the beginning
I'm still waiting for the picture of the Big Bang. Until they show that, I'll believe the theory is a hoax.
LiveLeak was founded by a guy from England and is probably hosted there.
the "mandatory back-door act"
Don't they do that one to you every time you try to travel by plane nowadays?

When was the last time you heard someone say "Wow, PETA's right! I'm going vegan!"?
PETA show pictures of gorgeous women with no clothes on. Now, if the FSF did similar things with pictures of RMS etc, they might stand a chance.
You can't avoid being a Jew. You can avoid being a patent troll.
Counter-sue for legal fees anyone?
