As the Constitution clearly enumerates Patents and Copyrights are the exclusive domain of Congress. Ostensibly they can grant patents, take them away, and establish an agency with congressional oversight to regulate the patent process.
If this isn't a judge specificaly appointed by Congress to Adjudicate the Patent process, I have a hard time believing this injunction is going to last.
Sun support in my experience has been a pain in the ass. I remember trying to modify the startup resolution on a box since I didn't have a Sun monitor or keyboard. They would not help me over the phone since it was a none Sun keyboard even though they had no problem with a non-Sun monitor. I did a key mash to figure out the stop key on boot to get me in. You bought a used and partial Sun system off the secondary market, then you thought Sun was supposed to automaticaly support you?
So that the President and his cabinet can decide on what to prioritize?
If you were right (and you're not) it's not censorship for the administration to direct its appointees to focus on topic and messages the administration priorized.
What is the point of the story. President's men don't let somebody in the administration go off message with stories about some hokey quasi religious opinions [Global warming], assorted tivial issues [stem cell, special olympics, smoking].
I mean do you really think this was censorship or just comebody confused about their job? When you are appointed a spokesperson for the President of the United States, well you better believe your job is to talk about what the President wants and not what you want, and focus on what the President ultimately decides and not what you decide.
This is no different then lets say Journalist who continuously buck their editors, yea the story may have some significance, but you're not doing your job.
You are mistaking Liberal, as in Libertarian with Liberal as in Liberal with other peoples money, other peoples rights, other peoples things.
The difference between the two is vaste. Libertarians adhere to the philosophy of less government the better. Liberalism adhere to the philosophy, more governement the better.
Libertarian has its roots in conservatism, while liberal has its roots in socialism.
I'm making 4B ISK a month in Ishtar and Deimos sales in Eve Online. I'll need to up my research and development costs, donate my common loot to noob players and the various acadamies, list my bad debt to friends who consistently borrow 100M isk here and there for ships and modules -- so that I can get better tax breaks.
I wonder if that 100M isk in Liquor I bought in Amarr space, only to find out its contraband there is tax deductable?
Lets see, I think I can sell Senator Hillary some shares in my corp for 1M isk each, pump it up and buy it back for 300M isk each, Give all my Dancing girls to Senator Kennedy and Senator Dodd, Representative Barney Frank can have the Science graduates, and I should probably stop scuttling my old Iteron 1's full of homeless people.
That will probably buy me some political clout for a few years.
Your issue is a non-issue. The scare-mongering controversial muckraking glory seeking self proclaimed know-it-all know-whats-best-for-everybody-else experts have overplayed the global warming issue to the point where I just tune out.
The entity known as Darwin is going to take care of everything. If there is global warming, pollution, toxic environment, rampant cancer then Humans will have children that can handle it.
It's tought to make a ton of ISK consistently in EVE, and for those that do, its quite lucrative from a RL$ to in game currency. Some 1B isk goes for what? $90 U.S dollars?
CCP keeps a tight fist on the isk department -- except for the lucky lottery winners of T2 ships. Yet if they nerf the economy such that everybody can make the lucrative isk, then they will lose 50% of thier player base.
I would like to know why the word "Bible" is censored from public, private, trade, ooc, and all other chats. (it's replaced with '#!&#@') and other Religious books are not. Like Quran, Qur'an, Koran, Torah et al.
I would like to follow up with: Who decided that people would be offended by the use of the word "Bible"?
FYI, I discovered this while telling my son (who also plays), where I keep the passwords and pin codes. I was dissapointed so tried all the other chats and words and to my astonishment, "Bible" is censored (along with a bunch of 4 letter word).
Listen, the are not shitty weasels. I mean if they are giving Blue print originals of T2 item and ammo away for to alliances and corporations they favor.. then that isn't very cool.
But as for Story line events, of course it is going to involve major alliances and corporations. And yes, events are going to steer story line arcs towards people and corporations that participate in Role Playing, and our prominent.
Story line events rarely if ever give away awards other then mentions from official "in game" eve online reporters and EVE Radio. Most people dont' care and just grind away at training and making isk.
It's also in the games best interest for CCP to focus on people who participate.
This is pretty well much spot on as far as I'm concerned. The internet was built from the bottom up. In order to control it and put more "insert agency" intervention into it, it needs to be re-designed from the top down.
Once they open up that can of worms, every interest is going to be clammering for their special interests and "needs". Goodbye to net neutrality, hello to Micro taxes on transports and transactions.
I find the arguments transparent. There is no reason why it can't be segmented more into sub-nets and let the underlying framework be.
Clinton lied during court testimony to save his own ass during the trial with Paula Jones. It is perfectly within the rights of the trial lawyers to impeach the witnesses, and thats exactly what Paula Jones Lawyer was going. Trying to show that Clinton was sexually irresponible.
So you are saying it s perfectly alright that under court proceedings, its perfectly acceptable to swear under oath to tell the truth, then lie, for whatever pretext?
How interesting that this article comes out of all days on today. Sun's Project Blackbox is in San Diego right now across the street for display.

In truth, the article does the Scandinavia countries a disservice. Scandinavia countries have been leaders in recording type consumer technology for a long time.
IP and Copyright laws are going to effect the U.S technological advances for years to come. Too much back flow in money goes to Politicians and Ex-Presidents make far too much money representing foreign interests. I.E China, UAE and Ex-President Clintons financial windfalls from those countries.
It seems you don't get it and struggle a bit to explain that belief in man is just as good as belief in god. Then of course the obligatory [paraphrased] "Corrupt organized religion" argument.
I'm not writing this to advocate there is a god or not, or to convince you otherwise. The article and the WWII story go hand in hand to suggest belief in god, or an omnipresent being is a genetic trait for the first, and aided people to survive atrocities in the last.
Why did you feel it necessary to pipe in that some other type of belief "one as mundane as believing in oneself". Does the assertion that believing in the deities is the norm rather then the abnormal threaten you somehow?
Software developers are the key and have always been. Office applications and Games being the chief draw to a particular type of computer for the standard home user.
Open office is a big threat to Microsoft, and Open Office keeps getting better and better. Why do you suppose Microsoft is so behind the scenes Anti ODF? Because the way to an OS's heart is through its Office package. Microsoft office was the only game in town, but now it looks like there is a big push towards ODF.. which will make Open Office a viable candidate for the office applications of small corporations -- which will fuel interest in medium, then large corporations.
Why should a casual (but knowledgeable) user buy a PC and pay $270 for Vista, then another $200-$300 for Microsoft office when they can get a Unix Distro for cheap and Open office for cheap? Yes, you get what you pay for, but with Microsoft products, you don't always get what you pay for, you get less.
Why do you think Microsoft got into the Xbox and game business? Because it was a big business in PC's at the time. By separating it from the Home PC, they kind of protect themselves of games being produced for other OS's, and make a fair bit of profit in that market too.
Look at the Game world of warcraft? It's both a PC and Mac game. Look how screemingly successfull it is. Get a few more games like that to run on Macs and the OS competition will really really heat up.
Just be carefull and don't just cut and paste Solaris code into the Linux Distro's -- which I'm sure somebody is bound to do at some point -- Then try and plead ignorance at the license terms. And don't cry if Solaris cleans Linux's clock. OP is right, Solaris has amazing technology and Sun community still has amazing programmers.
I wonder how many people realize how much pressure Sun has put on Microsoft. The $125m purchase of staroffice, the transformation to open office is starting to put the screws to Microsoft. Look at all the advocates of ODF... would that even exist today as it does if Sun hadn't made that move?
X86 OS is competition is getting stronger. Apple needs to do its part now and penatrate into the main stream home market and Sun needs to flank the OS subscription model Microsoft sees in the future.
Well, the problem with your statement is that it's simply your opinion that the President is using the CIA to advance his domestic political agenda. It doesn't hold any water.
The Presidents power with regards to his agenda is well defined. Simply throwing "political" in front of the word "agenda" is a cheap way of actually "politicizing" the issue as "big bad state" vs "little old us".
Congress and the Senate have panels that have oversight. That is true. But they do not control the executive branch and like it or not, the CIA is under control of the executive branch.

The real controversy would have been there being no diff between 2001 version and the 2007 version.
As the Constitution clearly enumerates Patents and Copyrights are the exclusive domain of Congress. Ostensibly they can grant patents, take them away, and establish an agency with congressional oversight to regulate the patent process.

Hmmm. Genetically modifying plant DNA so that they stop producing seeds after a generation. Why does that sound like a really really bad idea.

However, if my job was to get disinformation out to people, I would call it secret, pay millions for security, but let it get stolen anyway.
Ya just gotta be paranoid to survive in this world.
I dont' see sierra club or greenpeace funding scientists that dispute claims of global warming.
I don't see conservative meterologists advocating that pro-global warming advocates be de-certified.
Global warming left the realm of science and is now just a political issue.

Somehow this sounds something like: "The Military said it was okay, but the President said it wasn't".
Like it or not, the President is the Chief Executive and the CIA works for him at our behest.
