I'm also a Monarchist, but that doesn't show up that often. That's funny. I see 3 parties for a king all the time.:)
So, in the here and now, I'm a copyright advocate and author about to turn businessman. Ten years ago, I was an idealistic university student learning about history and pretty left of centre. So what changed, and why have I told everybody this? You have a job that pays money, not a kid, and have written/made some sort of IP; I don't like calling it copyright because in my opinion it is not a right but a privledge.
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that most of the "nerds" I know never really left a university mindset. First, you probably didn't mean it but that sounds like a uni. mindset is bad and they never grew out of their "childishness".
2. Becoming a professional writer. Yes, I agree that controling(sp) IP, I don't like that phrase either as I don't think of it as property but I degress, made you pro IP. You get money from it so you want it's existence. Many pro IPers do use the BSW(blood...) argument but I... I can't really think of a good argument because I grok what I am thinking, even if wrong, I can't really communicate it to others. I want to see the arguments of people who won't and don't get money from IP to be for it as well as people who make much money to be against it.
As for myself, I am only half-libertarian. I do think that the gov't should stay out of others but not in cases such as discrimination and thing that basically require community. Imagine personal militias if the gov't didn't make them itself. I also am liberal in that I don't think monopolies of any really large corps/companies should exist. I like calling myself a liberal republican. As for "copyprivledge" I would rather it not be around at all but until people are perfect a few years, 20 at most if all type have the same length but 5 or 10 would be better, with only uploading and equalivent being illegal. And loophole laws like the DMCA not exist. My theory on that is that since they can't make IP unlimited they make tools to use it illegal getting around that.
P.S. So they really have people who can call themself "folklorists".
The first thing I though of is the second "Adams Family". Near the beginning they talk about the baby having his grandfather's eyes. They then say, "Take those away."
It'sn't[sic] evil but with all the stuff added to the front page it isn't the same. Plus for those with CSS turned off it doesn't work the same. I wish they went back to the original with just a few words and simplicity. That's even why/. liked it. I still use it though. It works well enough for me.
So they count "lost revenue"? I have lost revenue because people aren't buying my software. I want to sell it for 100 billion but since people aren't buying it must be pirates. Do I get a newspaper story for "losing" that much?
P.S. If anyone has 10E11 then Email me to get the address of my site. P.P.S. Did you know that the interjection, I get to use that word!!, "arr" was actually started from some actor in the '60s (19 that is)? Or at lesast I heard that.
I read years ago, I think in scholostic or something, that they called them "bank robots". I never found much of that phrase around though. Anyone else hear that?
I did a similar thing, only for NY though, which was based on counties. It tried to make each county entirely in one district of it's converse. Each county would be divided into enough districts so that there are to few people left to form a new complete one. That partial-district is combined with other counties' ones to form a new multi county district. I had fun doing it with NY for Congress as well as it's 2 state senate and state assembly. That method might work too but it does seem more convoluted and I wouldn't want to have Mr. Jasper represent me and my next-door neighbor get Mrs. Complo which seem more likely given that there probably arn't that many people right next to county edges.
P.S. Insert parishes for LA. P.P.S. How many people can actually have fun doing that! P.P.P.S. I don't get to use the exclamation point often.
Welcome. I wouldn't call that spam. Spam is usually just useless stuff to annoy others of, if present, increase you post count. I use the Mr. Ed method; I only speak when I have something to say.
A "Law & Order" epidode was called "nullification". It was about a group of people who considured themselves a seperate country and declared war on the US. They went to a bank but in the process kill a "civilian", that is a non-gov't officer. The show makes more sense than I do. The killing part is what got them a trial. His lawyer said "jury nullification" was the oldest method for the people, not the gov't or representatives, to determin law. He ultimately got off. I didn't hear it anywhere else until I saw the episode either.
P.S. I don't watch that show but as I was passing buy the guide I saw the title. I decided to watch that one.
So, using my geekiness, it's like that Star Trek epidode in which they had a cloak that allowed them to go through things. They were looking for a ship inside an asteroid field but when they tried a specific rock it collapsed after they went inside. As they looked around they saw reflections of the ship in various ways. FYI, this is also the same episode which the finale of Enterprise used.
With respect to your sig:When you stare into the Goatse, the Goatse stares back into you. Now I have a horrible picture of him actually right next ot me rather than just on my screen.
Don't quote me but I would guess that well-rounded means a liberal-arts set. A small amount of everything even if most won't be useful. Or at least that sounds good.
I read the Wikipedia sire, and the episode itself, there is no step 2. It is really phase 2. I did find out what it is though. Find someone dumb enough to buy it. Like Japanesse buisnessman buying schoolgirl's underwear.
This is 1.5 days later but what the hey. I've seen it crash, both 95 and XP. You can cheat by dragging a card or set to a valid spot but instead of releasing the mouse button right away you press and hold escape and do it. The cards will zoom back to their original spot and whatever next card you click on will go there instead. You can then put invalid cards in weird places.
This can cause 2 bugs and one oddness: First, if the new card you click on is that pile itself then much of that stack dissapears. It is still there though and will reappear when you click where it is again. Second, if you have a large stack and put a bigger stack on it so the cards are half a dozen off the bottom of the screen then all of Sol.exe will decide against working. When I have fun I have to prevent it from crashing like that. Third, the oddity. If you cheat and put the cards on the 4 foundations then instead of falling down and bouncing, I like that, from King to Ace, they will do so from whatever top card is there to the bottom. I sometimes play differently and make all for piles on the tableau and then, via cheating, from the whole set to the foundation. It makes Ace on top and therefore starts with that.
I'm watching "This film is not yet rated" and actually that applies. They, some anti-"Think of the Children" people hired PI's to find out who the anonomys(sp) raters were. They followed people they thought might be them to a restaurent(sp) to see what they talked about. People know they work at the MPAA but not their job. Just like you working at Google. Well sort of. I just wanted to mention it because it is fun.
If you read this, I didn't reply right away because I might have wanted to mod this thread also; I didn't.
Oddly enough that episode was just on a few days ago. I still like when the Mel is reading the letters and comes to Prof. Frink's. Paraphrased, "It was the best ever, despite the absense of flubber. Glavvin." Mel read 'Glavvin' in a question like way because he had no idea what it meant.
I'm not stating the rest isn't true but "Axis of Evil" isn't any better than "The Great Satan". I know I call Satan evil. That particular phrase doesn't phase me. The other one you mentioned is in a different boat though.

I am playing that right now.
I do like the open-endedness of it.
[spoilers]
It's interesting that they were designed to be less intelligent but gained that ability when the shapers left.

I read the Wikipedia sire, and the episode itself, there is no step 2.
It is really phase 2.
I did find out what it is though.
Find someone dumb enough to buy it.

Paraphrased, "It was the best ever, despite the absense of flubber. Glavvin."
Mel read 'Glavvin' in a question like way because he had no idea what it meant.
You must be my sockpuppet.
This is like the third time I've agreed with you.
I like calling it ISCP.
Well at least that is the best I came up with now.
It stands for "Intellectual so-called property".
That's what I read first anyways.
Instead of reading what it said I read what I wanted it to say.
I didn't notice until you pointed it out.
"Just in time for the US presedential elections"
But then the "Bush or chimp" thing won't be as funny.
I still don't know why we were making an insult with that comparison.
Chimps are much better than Bush, and most humans for that matter.
That is my theory.
See, there is a use for the UN to control it.
It may screw it up but it won't harm us badly, purposfully, either.
I'm not stating the rest isn't true but "Axis of Evil" isn't any better than "The Great Satan".
I know I call Satan evil.
That particular phrase doesn't phase me. The other one you mentioned is in a different boat though.
90 m^3!
I doubt the car has even a couple of cubic meters below it.
I assume they mean that air which is 90 m^3 at STP would be compressed.
In any case, this must be vaporware.
It seems too good to be true.
Pun not intended about aircar and vaporware.
