The wall itself wasn't to prevent people fleeing in terror, not initially anyway, but to prevent economic migration of people from the increasingly poor east to the wealthier west.
I'm curious: what's your opinion on building a wall to prevent the economic migration of people from increasingly poor Mexico to the wealthier USA?
Nice post. I don't think many posters realize this is the media equivalent of dye packet tags on expensive clothes. Those have been effective. I would like to see this combined with the current passive tags, in the hopes that if a clerk forgets to activate the DVD the passive tag will also still be in place and generate an alarm.
I don't know who coined that term "neo-libertarian" (I'm guessing you) but we already have a word for someone who wants to entwine corporations with government: "fascist." Don't make up some grabage term just because you don't like libertarians. Libertarians are opposed to most forms of government control of corporations, positive and negative.
Example: A system fails to come back up after update and gives me my favorite hal.dll error. Since the hardware abstraction layer is different for nearly every machine, simply grabbing the hal.dll from another machine is not possible.
That's odd, because I have been able to simply expand the appropriate hal.dll from only about seven choices on the Windows CD-ROM. I wouldn't try pulling one from another machine; regardless, most of them use ACPI Multiprocessor. Unless you are running Datacenter with some proprietary HAL, in which case virtualization wouldn't make sense anyway.
There is still a 0.001% chance of contracting an STD from a gynecologist visit, a 0.0012% chance of contracting genital warts from a toilet seat, a 0.0019% chance of becoming pregnant while being unconscious and raped during any given hospital stay, etc.
... and about 99.9% chance of being trolled by some fool on Slashdot.
"I'm sorry, but John Doe is dead." "I'm John Doe and I'm standing right in front of you." "The database says John Doe is dead. You must be a criminal trying to steal John Doe's identity."
Sounds right to me. Every time I've encountered a John Doe, he's been a corpse!
Emperor Clinton signed supporting legislation into law in 1996. Coincidentally, Sen. Clinton also went on record in 2003 as supporting national ID. I have no idea whether she has changed her stance based on public opinion.
1. You create an "OMG teh MS 0ffic3 K1LL3r!" application. 2. Microsoft creates a new web page where they offer free downloads of your application- no ads, just pretty graphics and the link. 3. MS sits on their bankroll, because they can afford to take a loss. 4. Almost broke, you sell your application rights to MS.
Your plan doesn't work very well for the small business or individual.
Copyright simply screws everybody who didn't think of it first. It's nothing but a holdover from 19th century industrialists who wish to control everything.
No, it's a holdover from the American founding fathers (and English law dating to 1710, if not earlier), who wished "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Author and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." Article I, Section 8.
And it has set us back probably over a hundred years, if not much more.
That's meaningless rhetoric, without establishing a context. Who is "us"? Where is the single event that "set us back"?
Well, considering that billions of quarters with that design have been minted from 1932-1998, I don't think it's reasonable to question them. The eagle has been used on various U.S. coins since 1793 and is a well-known symbol of the USA. Washington quarters are not quite as unique as a multi-color quarter minted in only one year. That's a pretty weak analogy, and not even in a funny way.
Based on this case, Aussies should have the right to vote for American president and to have their elected representatives in US Congress and Senate - If a Law applies on you, you should be entitled to participate in electing the lawmakers.
Australia's ELECTED LAWMAKERS approved the extradition treaty.

John Connor shot first!
RTFM. That's the proposed plot.
Telling people to put on a sweater during a fuel crisis is like telling a gunshot victim to slap on a Band-Aid.
It's over 1,000,000 times faster than (640K, 15,000 feet from the CO, using 1940s wiring) DSL!
I didn't realize that Iranian and Jordanian terrorists owned Iraq. Because that's where those guys are coming from.
Then again, I haven't watched TV in several years so I don't know, maybe I missed something vital here...

We don't have extradition treaties with those countries.
Good luck. The screwed-up American flag hasn't been fixed in the five or so years it's been around (it's missing the top red stripe).
Heck, I had stop in 1982: CBM BASIC V2
