And hydrogen bombs aren't burning hydrogen anyway -- they're fusing two hydrogen atoms together to make helium: fusion. The massive temperatures required to give the atoms enough energy to fuse are created by the splitting of uranium/plutonium/whatever atoms into lighter metals: fission.
Oregon also has an income tax -- most states do actually. Oregon's tax instructions specifically state that for non-residents, they are taxed only on the income they earn while in Oregon. Since he's telecommuting, he would not have to pay Oregon income tax unless he flew to Oregon and put in some time.
I have a feeling this may eventually become a state's rights issue since Oregon and New York have conflicting laws. I wonder if he still has to pay his Tennessee income tax, assuming there is such a thing.
Probably not. The amount of computational power necessary to solve go likely doesn't exist in the world today. You can only add millions of computers to a GOTI network, which cuts the time needed to solve from trillions of trillions of years to billions of trillions of years. Not much help there in any realistic sense.
All complicated things start with simpler ideas. Relational databases were described about 10 years before there were functional descriptions of how they should work by that guy at IBM. I don't think anyone would say that his paper was an effort to justify his existence simply because it took a long time for technology to catch up.
Just because it takes lots more research and effort to complete an idea doesn't mean that the initial effort is wasted.
This whole article is effectively a Barbara Walters style rant and rave about how wrong something is but offers very little in the way of a solution or even a call to action for fair laws.
Can you really blame an ISP for quickly acting to minimize its legal exposure? How much would it cost to get sued (even falsely) for allowing a copyright infringement to continue? Last time I checked, lawyers were damn expensive. If the (allegedly) infringing website operator wants to fight it, let him. It's his web site, not the ISP's. Really, the ISP should be the last course of action for someone to remove copyrighted content. If the owner of the site is unresponsive, then the owner should show a court order or some other similarly authorized documentation claiming copyright infringement.
I'm sure there are a million holes in any idea posted here though, and they will be thoroughly discussed later. We're going to need rational laws eventually, it's just a question of whose side they're on.
Some of the comments on K5 were very good, especially the ones by people who RTFA and watched the friendly video. Despite my own right-sided tendencies, I don't side with this guy. He'd been drinking, he'd been arguing, he was rude to the cop (which shouldn't be illegal, but is certainly stupid), and generally isn't a good guy. There are insinuations that the subtitles in the video don't actually agree with what people are actually saying, which makes his position appear weaker.
I hope not carrying ID, or not giving it out w/out good reason, stays legal, but I also hope that drunk, obnoxious jerks get regulated on.

I live in Portland and work in Vancouver. I'm required to pay the Oregon income tax, but not sales tax.

Excuse my typing. I meant the description was 10 years before there were functional applications.

Yes, there is a D language. As far as I know it's still academic, but it does exist.
