  1. Re:Good summary. on DVD Decrypter Author Served With Take-Down Order · · Score: 1

    My post had nothing to with corporations being evil or breaking the law. Only that corporations may be legally obligated to behave in a particular way.

    ps. Are you sure that your friends didn't create an LLC (Limited Liability Company). In that case there is no need for articles of incorporation.

    You're so angry that I have to reply. First of all you can be legally obligated to perform in a certain way without a "USA law" saying so. For example, contracts create legal obligations without being recorded in any state or federal laws. That being said, I imagine that most corporate charters require that the executives act in a manner that will create profit. If the charter says that, then the executives are legally obligated to "act in a manner that will create profit." Also, I'm glad that you enjoy working for your company. It does sound like you are having a wonderful experience!!

    that must be 150.00000000000000000000000 mph?

    The law should stand on some logical reasoning. Apparently JV just isn't aware of it.

  5. Re:3 to 6 weeks?? on Genetically Modified Flower Detects Landmines · · Score: 2, Insightful

    3 to 6 weeks is not a long time considering that many countries have spent upwards of 10 years trying to mitigate their existing landmine problem.

    The accused only has to prove that they are not guilty, nothing to do with innocence.

  7. Re:Huh? on Fizzer Worm Uninstalling Itself · · Score: 1

    Your analogy is flawed. Everybody has to drink the water, not just the people infected.

    In the fizzer case only computers already infected by fizzer are going to download the 'fizzer-fixing' code.

  8. Re:It's my kernel... on Linus Explains his Patch Policy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You say he seems childish. Linus' goal is not to to be the figure head for linux. In fact that is exactly the opposite of what he wants. He understands that the power of linux is derived from the community, and that a single point of focus and authority would actually make the whole thing weaker.
