Sadly, it is. Jimi's works will all have gone into the public domain by 2065, if nothing changes. If there's a limit, it's arguably limited. Is it a reasonable limit? Probably not, but "probably" doesn't summarily constitute a violation. I don't like the law, but it isn't clearly unconstitutional-- although in my dreams, I can imagine a future court arguing it is.
Agreed. See Solzhenitsyn's characters, for example. They tell us what their feelings are, but it's detached, as if they're explaining what our motivation would be if we were going to act out their life in a play. It's fine if you don't like it (and it does make for a very heavy read), but if you dismiss the style be prepared to dismiss the works of an entire nation of people.

This is the problem of the left: they think the truth has a political bias.

And you're part of the problem.
The obsessive focus of the political establishment on bogeymen like Fox News shows how shallow your objectives are. It's a fact of life that cable news is mostly entertainment. Ignoring the sensationalism and bias that occurs at MSNBC and CNN to focus on Fox News is dishonest and unproductive.
Other hardware issues could cause the OS to hang hard, requiring the power to be reset. That being said, in such a situation I/O should have halted and thus data corruption should be unlikely.
It said right in the constitution that no laws concerning slavery could be passed until 1808, at which time they promptly outlawed the importation of slaves. Also, the 9th amendment implicitly gave the right to regulate slavery to the states. If you'll recall, from fourth grade history, some states were "slave" states and some were "free". So, this arrangement was morally wrong, but constitutional. The sticking point came with the fugitive slave law, which many called unconstitutional because, again, slavery was in the jurisdiction of the states. But the federal government pulled out the weapon which eventually became the Swiss-army-knife of government oppression we know today: "regulation of interstate commerce". So it decided it had the ability to force escaped slaves dwelling in free states to return to their masters.
The Constitution simply does not say anything about that so that would not be found unconstitutional either.
The ninth and tenth amendments are supposed to make it clear that the federal government only has the rights that are enumerated. Clearly, two weren't enough. The founding fathers should have written it in every other line of the thing.
This is like Ford finally putting IRS in the Mustang. They'd spent nearly 50 years making the world's best live axle because hot rodders demanded it, whether because of its superior drag performance or just sentiment. They finally switched to an IRS because the live axle wouldn't fly in European markets, and they felt they had a design that the US market would accept.
Many, if not most people rent because they have to. They have to, because people believe they send their kids to public school to learn everything they need to know. Schools don't teach economics-- or at least, it's a class you don't have to take. So we have a more-or-less permanent entitlement class, that has never been taught how to keep a budget or build credit. They are dependent on cheap, government-subsidized housing in between evictions. They don't know how be truly frugal or plan ahead for tough times. And it's mostly not their faults, because we're told the government will take care of them if we'll just pay more taxes.
It would be illegal if it wasn't at least fire resistant. That's why we have so much asbestos in old buildings. Fiberglass and rock wool simply don't burn, and blown-in cellulose is treated such that even a direct flame won't light it.
If you reduce your consumption, the government will find something else to tax to maintain their expected revenue. Hybrids have become common enough that governments are crying foul, and looking for some way to fund roads other than fuel taxes. The same will happen as electricity use plummets, and they lose that tax revenue stream.
It's a shame that someone asking an honest question has to affirm that he isn't trolling, while those who insult people who haven't filled their homes with LEDs yet, are modded up.
As a long-time user of CFLs, we know that they do not achieve their claimed lifespan or performance unless you only use them in the optimal scenario: vertical, base down, unenclosed, at room temperature, with power conditioning.

Reason, don't rationalize.
And you're allowing your reflexive emotional response to religious ideas make you sound like an asshole.

IF "Rand" was anything, it would be a trademark, not something copyrightable.
Looks like the progressives opened up another straw man manufacturing facility.
Why would someone working on huge multimedia files want to save them locally, where they are difficult to share or backup, instead of on a SAN?

It's basically the same argument people have to stifle the second and first amendments. Some people abuse it; therefore, we must greatly limit it.
This post was modded Troll. There is still goodness on Slashdot.
