"To believe that the majority of Americans do not support the current administration is foolhardy."
That's what the PATRIOT act is all about. Disagree and you're labelled unpatriotic and sent to Guantanamo Bay.
According to one expert, the bills are 'tremendously open-ended and create theoretical and potential criminal liabilities for just about anybody on the planet.'"...but only if you're in the USA. Has nobody yet got it through their heads that the rest of the world is not bound by the laws and statutes of the USA? MPAA and RIAA are toothless outside of the US.
THe RIAA will only be able to have any chance of immunity within the U.S. If they tried such a stunt on a computer based within the UK then they can be prosecuted under the Computer Misuse Act. THere is no get out of jail free clause for companies. THe UK Govt don't give a shit about the RIAA either.

You sure you're using the Release version that came out on 17th April? Works fine here and solves ALL the problems of the pre-release. Point2Click sux tho.
Land of the free and the home of the brave...what utter crap. Do you not realise you'll have no freedoms soon and these are all being eroded because your Govt is crapping themselves? Anything that cannot be totally controlled and monitored by the U.S Govt is therefore deemed illegal as it might be used for terrorism. The U.S is slowly becoming worse that the USSR ever was.
If the U.S Govt don't like something, they just completely bypass the constitution by including it in "The War on Terror". Dumbass Redneck Merkin buys it hook line and sinker and assumes it must be OK if it is for "The War on Terror" anmd to question it would be unpatriotic.
There are startling similarities between what the current administration is doing and the actions the Third Reich took prior to starting WW2. Is G.W. Bush actually Adolf Hitler re-incarnate? I think so. The evidence mounts up.
1) WE good, everyone else bad.
2) Incarcerate people we don't like without charge. Deny them their rights.
3) Instil fear in the populous about a mass invasion from the impure (i.e non Christian Americans).
4) Erode liberties in the name of "righteousness" (War on Terror)
5) Declare war.
Bush more than showed his hand when he came out with the immortal words "If you're not with us, you are against us".
But I can say that because I'm not American and don't have to worry whether the "Home Guard" or whatever they call themselves are going to come kicking down my door because I dare to question El Presidente Bush.
Jeezuz. WE've had this for years in the UK. There's even a TV series called "Combat Cars" where they take a car, turn it into remote control, add armour and weapons then battle them in a "Robot Wars" type competition.
With all the recently released bills, laws and statutes. The USA citizen is quite possible more watched and restricted, especially in the area of free speech, than th Russians were during the Cold War. Hell, even China isn't as bad as the USA.
DeCSS is only illegal in the US.
All your points about Linux kernel being in violation of the DMCA etc shows just how much of an OPRESSED COMMUNIST STATE the U.S has become. Perhaps they could erect a statue of Stalin outside of the RIAA headquarters and Adolf Hitler outside of Congress..
Where exactly was the anti-trust officer when Microsoft's websites were sending Opera bad style sheets? Isn't this exactly the sort of thing he was appointed to prevent?
He was on an all expenses paid holiday in the Carribean courtesy of Microsoft...
Only problem being the EU courts who will be presiding over the case are completely non political. They do not bow down to any political influence whatsoever as quite a few EU member states' governments have found out.
You are thinking like a typical Merkin, that everyone is te same and it is all a matter of money.
THe RIAA have no teeth in a great many countries. I can't wait until they try to throw their weight around in the E.U. As for Sharman Networks, I hope they tell the RIAA where to go. AFAIK Sharman Networks can avoid ending up in court as long as they don't enter the U.S. I'd love to see the RIAA trying to get people into court from such countries as China, Taiwan, Korea, Iran etc....
I can't understand why there's a problem. You just install the required libraries to support to other desktop and you can run KDE apps under Gnome and Gnome apps under KDE. Its not rocket science and it solves the problems for the advocates for both desktops. THe fact that people seem to think they HAVE to be forced to follow one or the other is ludicrous. You use what you prefer but you don't have to let it stop you using the apps of the other. For example I run KDE but I love OGLE, Evolution and PAN. Got the Gnome libs installed and all function absolutely fine under KDE.

Legal Aid and a completely different way of doing things.

But that is Italy, only a moron would move there. Ther are far better countries in the E.U to be in.
