there is nothing imaginery about the fact that if you work for years producing some digital content, you have the right to decide what to charge for it. The fact that a lot of people willfully ignore the law and take what isn't there's anyway does not make the property rights 'imaginery' any mroe than the preponderence of people breaking the speed limit makes the speed limit imaginery either.
As a commercial corporation they are legally mandated to put making money for their stockholders at the top of their priority list.
No it is not. I wish people would stop repeating this.
Fundamentally, it is a company's duty to not commit fraud. That is, lie to the shareholders. If it is in the company's charter to not do evil (not even sure if this is the case w/ google) then shareholders are just as entitled to bring action against the company for breaking the evil clause as they are any profit clauses.
In your scenario non-profit commercial corporations would not exist.
I just don't buy it. I though big corporations only though about the short term.
MS is loosing billions a year in patent disputes, right now.
And they are supposedly pro software patents because they might be able to sue some open source projects in the future? Just who would they sue anyway?
The reality is, patent applications are cheap. If they get sued by a big player a big portfolio offers some protection. The patent trolls who don't produce anything on the other hand will force MS to lobby for patent reform.
Can you give us a list of the judges that did not bother to read your complaints? It's not much but I am a Washington voter as are a few of the people here...
Wow, you just lumped a whole large group of people into one prejudiced pile while simultaneously decrying this very same behavior from your hypothetical male CS people.
Computers, a field that has been dominated by a particularly anti-social breed of men even more prone to insulation than lawyers or MBAS
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
How so? The models presented by some AGW groups wildly overstate both the rise in sea level and the rise in temperature due to increased CO2. For example, the IPCC model for temperature predicted that from 1979 to 1998, temps would go up by 0.8 degree C; in fact, they FELL by 0.2 degrees. Here's a link:
Seriously, look at this graph (from NASA) of global mean temperature anomaly (the same graph in the other link but with a longer time frame). Tell me with a straight face that they are not blatantly cherry-picking their data. Also, that link of your does not support the assertation that the IPCC made any such claim.

Over the past 20 years, however, the number of sunspots has remained roughly constant, yet the average temperature of the Earth has continued to increase.
Ha ha ha ha ha! Looks like you bought the story. The controls are simply to make sure that every single bottle of booze is TAXED. They don't give a shit about you. If they did, it would be treated just like a controlled medication (eg opioids)
If this were the case they would happily sell it to people under the age of 21 wouldn't they?
Like usual the truth is just a bunch of randomness some guys thought up, and varies by state.
Has anyone else caught wind of the NIN viral marketing that they are doing right now for a new album? They "GET IT" with how to use the new media and Internet. If the **AA actually got it we would not be having news stories like this.
dude, it's not the EFF we have fun bashing, it's the pro bono lawyers they get to screw cases for them. In this case, they found someone who isn't pro bonehead, so what? Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
The troubling issue really is the amount of records being set. Global climate change is going to have varying localized effects but will likely result in more extreme cycles due to more total energy in the system. So warmth records in some areas, cold records in others, floods in some, droughts others, etc. Basicall all anyone can say is that things will change, how is uncertain.

Bees don't pollinate corn. Corn can not pollinate natually due to generations of selective breeding.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
Ultimately your politicians are answerable to you, no?
So get off your well-marbled McDonald's-fed asses and make them accountable!
And if they refuse to listen to reason, ask the French for a loan of Madame Guillotine.
So we are in agreement then. Canadians need to get off their fat asses and make sure their politicians do not bend over for foreign business interests.
Andrzej Okrasinski has found a new methuselah record holder, a 15 bit intial pattern with a final population of 1623 after 29053 generations. David Bell quickly found a 13 cell predecessor, bringing the record to 29055.
3) Users who know what to expect will not be dissappointed. I know I am a happy iTunes + iPod user. Then again I do not spend my time inventing all sorts of scenarios how this model could be limiting my life when it is not.
Neither do I. See, I already know that if you want to buy a Creative MP3 player that you are screwed. Now you do too, no time wasted.
I don't know about anyone else, but I for one have never directly observed a human craft a weapon and then use it to hunt down an animal for food. The closest I've ever seen is seeing someone load their own cartridges and shoot tin cans off of a fence.
That's nothing. They've already learned how to get into houses... White houses seem especially vulnerable.
Seems like an SOP kinda guy. Just picture it:
(FTA) ...that is reasonably efficient, Pruetz said, compared to standard chimpanzee hunting practice, which involves chasing a monkey or other prey, grabbing it by the tail and then slamming its head against the ground.
It can not be as general as "all websites have common carrier status," like all phone companies and all package carriers receive, because there are plenty of legitimate web business models that work on the opposite presumption. For example, this is more or less the case with true.com. Their whole thing is that they are trying to check people's identities to prevent jerking around with fake identities on dating sites.
You could offer this same exact service using only common-carrier phone connections and still be on the hook if you promise to authenticate people.
Wait, do we hate Bush because he's spending too much money on the war, Yes. or because he didn't finance it enough to let the troops do their job? Yes. I'm so confused!
The problem, you see, is that all this money doesn't appear to be getting to the troops. It is left as a excersize for the reader to determine who exactly is getting all this money. (and why they might just desire a continuing civil war in the area)
Guys, please don't mod up factually incorrect statements: The problem is that the US is NOT the biggest CO2 emissions maker in the world, that title belongs to China, and India is right behind it. Yet they were exempted from almost ALL the restrictions that would have been placed on us!

From the Article:
Over the past 20 years, however, the number of sunspots has remained roughly constant, yet the average temperature of the Earth has continued to increase.
Well, what do you think caused the Earth to warm?

Some people indeed...
In the legal arena, being right once a day is pretty good.
