You comment blends in everything you dislike into one scenario, which you yourself do not even really believe to be true. The teaching of values you find to be offensive, wrong, or unnecessary, is associated with *higher * test scores and better performing students.
I'm not even going to comment on such a stupid reply. I'll let the quality of our students compared to the rest of hte world speak for itself.
entirely on the Teacher's Union is incredibly pathetic...
Well, I don't, pathetic or not you will, as do most, read what you want. However, the the union, one of the most powerful in the country, certainly deserves some blame. To NOT do this is to completely ignore the educational problems we are having. "Anyone but us" is buck passing with blinders on.
Admittedly, I did blanket the entire system, when I meant to address K-12 Specifically; however, to admit that the system is a joke and defend tenurship is an interesting point of view. You admit that the system is screwed but want nothing to do with changing it. Yes, I agree, the admins are part of the problem. So are the teachers, who want nothing to do with merit-based pay. You can't have your cake and eat it too. I'm for privateizing the whole mess. Post office as well. We just don't need to send as much crap through the mail that we used to.
Unions in many cases have outlived their usefulness even to their own rank and file and have actually become the monsters. Take for example the on-going teacher's fiasco. The state-run schools are turning out idiots who aren't prepared for real jobs, instead learning about Stacy and her two Mommies, and how whales should be enabled to vote or whatever crazy-assed crap. Meanwhile Asia is kicking our asses in business. Something's got to give, and it looks like tenured professorship and the teachers union to me.
Yes you can. Its done all the time, for a variety of reasons. Usually the CEO takes a $1 salary becuase the company is struggling, but there's no law that says they have to be paid market value.
Bad argument as in this modern age travel is a requiement more often than not. Dire consequences can arise from people not travelling. Its not a luxury anymore, in a global economy its a nessessity.
So why don't more companies who are interested in suppressing RE in their products using the DMCA? Surely Microsoft isn't the only company willing to use the DMCA to step on a competitor?
Every TSA pat-down, especially those outside an air terminal, are illegal searches.
Yes. Unfortunately, and I need to search this, but I think whenever this is mentioned to the court they come back with some argument about the interests of the public are larger then any individual and his/her Bill of Rights guarantee. Which is an, in my opinion, subtle, and astonishing, erosion of those guarantees. How any American can look at that statement and not weep for the country is beyond me.
No, he means both sides of the isle, but the democrats by far held sway with the various bills that made up the patriot act and led to the creation of the TSA: "The first bill proposed was the Combating Terrorism Act of 2001, which was introduced by Republican Senators Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Jon Kyl (R-AZ) with Democratic Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on September 13..." and "The Intelligence to Prevent Terrorism Act was introduced to the Senate on September 28 by Senators Bob Graham (D-FL) and Jay Rockefeller (D-WV)." (wikipedia)
Note that Fienstien and heckle, jeckle, and Chuck of New York figured prominantly in this legislation.
I, in spirit, agree with this. If enough people stand up to this kind of bullying, congress will have no choice but to deal with it. As a practicality however the people who will have the greatest effect, the VOTING public, will need to see abuses repeatedly, for quite a while, before they react. And this has nothing to do with people being asleep; this is beucase people are busy. Its kind of hard to stand up to an illegal, immoral, act by your government when you have a meeting to get to. But I beileve enough of this nonsense and it will happen.

I don't know what's going in Europe but in the US this should be a non-story. US courts have routinely struck down reverse engineering suits. Its completely legal to do.

And they say English can't be obfuscated like programming languages.
As did McAfee, as did Norton's. In my experience Avira is MUCH LESS culpable than the other two. The last time I got a call from a family member regarding problems with their PC MacAfee was to blame.
Been using Avira for years, and I can't say with certainty its the best, but I've never had any problems with it and its stopped its share of malware cold in their tracks. So they have a rare gaff. I think I'll just move on.
The problem is they're selling access to a river, and the river sometimes has illegal fish in it. So they're asking the provider to deny access to those illegal fish. No one in their right mind asks a ferry boat to filter out the illegal fish before they fishers get them. The catch is checked after it caught. The only way to really inforce these silly copyright laws is to emply an army of thugs to break into every end user's house and rifle through the contents of their hard drives. Which is happening a bit. But that's not cost effective, as they'd have to have a thug stantioned at every user's house, every day. No, asking isp's to filter their content isn't going to work. Neither are hired thugs. The ony thing that's going to have any chance at success is abaondonment of the media-as-commodity business model. That means the record labels are now albatrosses around the artist's necks. They're worthless to them now. Copyrights and media licensing aren't going to be a viable means of income for content producers anymore. That's the end of that era. Everyone needs to move to something else.
Your anaolgy is flawed, unless you can press a button and make an exact duplicate of any car. We're talking about data. Data has to be monitized in a different way; this nonsense of treating data like its a scarce commodity is a flawed system.

So, again, unless you say otherwise, I can only assume you believe there really is no problem, and no changes need to be made. At all.

Sort of like when proponents invent papers supporting their position.

Looks like he ate a few of them before that pic was snapped.
But if he stays with you and you have a friendly parrot he will be very, very glad.
If you think Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman are similar in executive style you couldn't be more wrong.

A true capitalist only cares about maximizing profit above all other concerns.
Spoken like a true idiot. Don't let your own opinions color your reply in anyway.
You're right, of course. Never the less I never pass up an opportunity to squirt out my views.
