Basically, in no way at all, as the manga states that "every celestial object has its Sailor Senshi" (japanese edition, volume 18.). For reference, see the later senshi-to-be Amazon quartet (based on "Dwarf Planets" in the Kuiper Belt) appearing in TV SuperS, and the Senshi that apear in "BSSSM Stars", who are based on extrasolar planets.
Just again realized what a crazy otaku I really am...
So the US citizens' opinions are not manipulated today? Where exactly is the US representative republic system working well? How do you explain hundreds of thousands of US war causalities since 1945? Is that the peoples will speaking? What about concentrationcamps? Will of the free people? Is being persecutedforpolitical ideas the idea your United States were founded of?
Every representative system (German speaking here) has a inherited, major and fatal flaw: People trying to press their views on voters to get voted themselves and abuse of power. Remember that - for example - Hitler was democratically elected in a representative republic. Direct democratic systems, as they exist for example in Switzerland, however, did not degrade to either anarchy nor dictatorship. One might want to think about that.
International Websites, yes. But international websites are not affected. Remember that Germany is the second-largest chunk of the net after the VSA. German websites, however are at risk (I am managing a freeware download archive myself and got one of this guys lawyers letters concerning virtualdub).
Of course, I could tell that guy to screw himself, but I would risk being dragged before a court, and I'd be at risk to loose. A German proverb goes like "being on high see and being before a court means to be a pawn in Fate's game". Funny German Internet-related judge-words are "Only public traded companies (= AktienGesellschaften) may have a.ag domain" and related ridiculous stuff. No idea how the chances of invalidating that trademark are.
As this'd mean serious financial damage (we speak about up to a six-figure Euro charge) and I have a wife and little daughter to support, I decided to back off and remove any mentioning of VirtualDub from my page until another brave soul has tested that trademark successfully. I also decided to ignore the invoice that was attached and forward the letter to one of my lawyers.
You are free to do so. With the twisted German jurisdiction, not you are to be held responsible, but the owner of the webpage you have been mentioning V********b, as he should/ought/could have prevented the mentioning on his page.
There actually *is* a reason why Germans are required to have a imprint on their pages (Don't believe me? Look for "6 Teledienstgesetz").
and not safe for the inhabitants if we can't rely on the space shuttle to get up there.
Deaths in manned spaceflight since beginning of the Shuttle Program]
USA: 14 [STS-51-L and STS-107]
RUSSIA: 0 (last confirmed death: Komarov, Soujuz 1, 1967... )
Really, no way to get inhabitants up there safely;)

I wonder how many people in the world see America's actions as "terrorist"?
Count me in. Please take into consideration that I only think the current administrations actions resembles terrorism against the peoples of both the US and every single other country of this world. I am not saying all Americans are terrorists.
I live 2 (two) miles from my job!!! So at 15 miles per gallon, round trip my commute totals 10 miles a week, or 2/3 of a gallon used per week commuting!
Thats around 3,6 kilometers... why dont you walk? Better for your heart, better for your soul, and in any way better for your pocket money.
Does that mean Scaled Compisute gives away their currently only successful way to get to space? No SpaceShipTwo Prototype yet? Lost interest in space already?
I do not charge for the code, I simply choose not to distribute my personal changes and let them work for my projects. This is perfectly legal now, as use is not distribution. This use produces websites that contain more information than those of my competitors, thus giving me a better standing when it comes to getting customers. If I'd distribute those changes, tomorrow all my competitors would have them as well (my field of business operation is not that big), making my advantages obsolete, and turning to a feature-race that binds ressources that I do not have.
Effectively, those who do not build stuff, and only adopt, will have the advantage: no work, much code for free. Cool. The ones who work for having a better standing will have bound ressources and only help their non-contributing competitors. Is this fair?
Should GPL3 really be implementated with a rule like this, innovation into GPL3-licenced software by smaller businesses will vanish, as working on this code may endanger their existance.
Information does not want to be free. Fact is, information does want pretty much nothing - it is not sentinent. The proposed GPL3 will not make information more free - it will only help the lazybags out there.
It is aimes at Google, but it will hurt small business. As someone who has build his existence on providing web pages, this change in licence will threaten my business model, which is about providing an added value to my customers trought additions to the GPLed code that I chose not to spread, so my competitiors will not also have that added value. Till now, this was perfectly legal.
How does this translate to documents I created using GPLed software? I have some pretty elaborated Google Indes prediction tool I'd hate to give away. Before somebody cries about those documents are not licenced under the GPL, because I have the copyright on them - what about webpages then? And what about dynamically created webpages?
I did contribute to OSS software under the GPL in the past, and I am using Linux on all of my 11 machines. Althought I use the penguin, I will have to move to another OSS platform (BSD?) if this change to the GPL will be made. Living and working on a budget, having to care for a family, I cannot afford risking to be viable under a changed GPL that would effectively force me to share all I do to all of my competitors.
Well, a millenia ago, China was one of the - if not the most developed culture on this planet, . Many cultural scientists claim they never left this position to the western "cultures".
My theory is that the political system does not matter to the individual if personal security (for the majority) is granted and a life is relatively easy. If one or both of those factors are not given, it will come to a political revolution - no matter if the prevorious form of government was a stalinistic (NKorea), a sociocommunism (PRC), a protofacist state (US of A), or an absolute monarchy (France, 1789).
Obviously, most Chinese life relatively well under the evil hand of the freedom-denying KPCh. When they do not matter, why should we?
This can be said for any of those examples: Being a German, I could (and do) say:
Obviously, most Americans life relatively well under the evil hand of the freedom-denying Republicans. When they do not matter, why should we?
A kind of perception that actually comes close to most women' character. However, with nekomimi (not sure if slashdot could handle kanji) it is actually way cuter, isn't it?
There are no states where I live, you insensitive clod...
If you think about it, cutting the numbers of avalible copies is an astonishing stupid idea. The idea behind GooglePrint is to access printed information anytime, anywhere.
If an system that cuts the number of page views, copies or similar is implemented, it destroys the advantages of an open netwide library - being there any time, all volumes avalible.
A lot of us justifiably believe that "anime" is nothing more than a grotesquely overrated pile of crap which has resulted in an attempt by a few desperate fucktards to fabricate something from nothing.
Seriously... this was about creating code to fingerprint images. They are not creating Üb3r1337 w0rm 3xpl0i7z here.
The "hiding the code"-part is relevant in open-source systems, and I can think of a ton of valid uses for this kind of "evil" technology. Hell, I'd be glad if some kind of function was avalible in GIMP.

I seriously doubt a large part of geeks are seen as demigods from their technology-impaired peers. Some strange technofreaks, yeah, but demigods?
Hell, just look on our paycheck and decide if this is worthy for someone of the ranks of Hercules.
Debian has had this for years: apt-get dist-upgrade. Other distributions have similar mechanisms.
What does this have to do with Product Keys? Does Linspire actually forces you to work with those?
