  2. Sue Google to get links on New Orbitz Terms Prohibit Inbound Deep Linking · · Score: 0

    Just wait till they sue google to find every person that is linking to them. We've seen a worm that uses google to do its dirty work, why not lawyers....

    If anyone is particularly concerned with immortality of even the false belief that someone is immortal perhaps you should read the picture of dorian gray. Basically the main character never looks older, but a picture of him ages instead. All of his sins and the wear of time show in the picture while he maintains his youth. Amazon link here

  4. Re:rainmaker? on Anonymous User Challenges RIAA Subpoena · · Score: 0

    I don't see this working in this case, or in pretty much any case. It reminds me of John Calhoun's "concurrent majority" theory, which if you read up leads you to the conclusion of it will produce chaos. In this political theory he wanted to give evey subsection of the nation the power to veto or nullify laws they thought were unconstitutional, or otherwise didn't like. This helps no one, and disolves the strong central government that is necessary to protect it's citizens. yes these are similar. if a jury has the ability to nullify a law in a particular case, and it happened routinely, then it would produce chaos. what good are laws if they are not enforced?

  6. rainmaker? on Anonymous User Challenges RIAA Subpoena · · Score: 0

    Has anyone else read the john grisham book the rainmaker? Its about a young lawyer who sues an insurrance company and wins something like $50 million....the underdog won and won bin. too bad this doesn't happen in real life. Does anyone else see a problem with the American leagal system when its almost a forgone conclusion that Jane Doe has no chance of winning. The fact is tho she will lose. not only because the Riaa will spend about 100x more money but because if they can prove she was sharring files, then she knowingly broke a law. whether you happen to agree with the law or not, she is still guilty of that. Legal systems are based on the fact that if you did it, you're guilty, regardless if you even knew it was against the law, if you only did it only one time, or if you did it for a good reason. for ./ readers i think this would be more helpful... if (law==broken) janeDoe=guilty; else if(lawYouDontAgreeWith==broken) janeDoe=guilty;

  8. Diamond nanotubes? on The Diamond Age · · Score: 0

    So nano tubes are made from carbon...diamonds are made from carbon. leads to the question it is possible(read laws of physics not engineering) to make diamond nano tubes? from what i remember, what makes a diamond a diamond is the structure of the atoms. So my question...are diamond nano tubes some crazy thing i thought of on my own?
