Except the current situation has nothing to do with authors being given 1790 style rights to their creative works.
It's easy to see who's being unreasonable when you consider a copyright owner asking people not to rip and distribute their works over Internet peer-to-peer networks to be "1790 style".
...where those rare people with lawyers can make anything they want happen just by issuing threats and governments can take things out at will without having to worry about pesky things like jurisdiction, right or courts.
Jurisdiction - well established. Right - You do not have the right to distribute someone else's copyrighted works without permission. Courts - wake up, that's exactly what they're doing. Or did you mean some other court where those rare lawyers cannot go?
The ones who cry the loudest get the most attention. Not to mention people love bad news.
It's like eBay feedback, internet & television news, and consumer review websites. No matter how much is positive about any given thing, people will gloss over it all like it's not there and go straight to the limited incidents of negativity and take the exception for the rule.
Sigh. Only in America would someone reference a fictional TV show as a source of information on something like this.
Sorry, wrong. Practically every country in the world gets everything they know about the US from fictional TV programs. They see an episode of Cops or The Bachelor and then they think we are a brutal police state where everybody gets married on TV shows.
Anyways, back to topic, there's not much you can really make up about Chinese brutality and censorship because chances are they've done most all of it. Alas, the US just makes a better target for these totalitarian and ignorance jokes than China, regardless of reality.
The Democrats introduced the draft bill as a scare tactic and then tried to pretend like it was a Bush initiative because of the Iraq War. Neither party is innocent of the OP's accusation here.
Legitimate things like this go on all the time. It is commonly referred to as "white hat" hacking, as we all know. That may not be the case here, but it sounds more to me like the programmer is disappointed with election results and wants to pretend he's a whistleblower.
It was taught by a person trained as a police forensics investigator. I learned very little because it was targeted towards police who wanted to get higher education (master's level class) and I myself am a security analyst. However, what I did learn is that police interest in a case like this and the interests of a company are usually completely polarized. Police want to collect the evidence all by themselves in a structured and documented manner. After all, if something goes to trial they need to have consistency and chain of evidence and all of that. Plus, the software they use (such as Forensic Tool Kit) has been accepted in the arena of courts as a valid standard for investigating computer crimes. You can't really say the same for grep.
He actually referred to people like "systems administrators", "security analysts", and various other IT positions as if they were little creatures that you might find out in the wild. He basically said that these people are tools for the police to help find the evidence they need and not to let them tamper with the evidence and try to do the investigation themselves.
When it comes down to it, many companies avoid contacting police instead preferring to handle the investigation internally. You open up your corporate secrets and data to the public basically and police aren't exactly known for their discretion. Moreover, depending on how overzealous they are, they could get a warrant to search your premises and confiscate computers with sensitive customer and internal emails and things like that. Technically they aren't supposed to look at anything that isn't relevant to the case, but I'm sure it happens all the time.
A jump from 12 to over 300 million dollars is a big estimate. I wonder if the people who put these things together understand much about the computer industry and how spyware works. There is a large demand for it now, obviously, but I'm skeptic that it will grow as they predict. Even Internet Explorer is much more careful about spyware now, and they've got several years before that projected date comes to pass. Sure people will still click "Yes" and get it, but I find it hard to believe the rate of infection will go up so dramatically given the default protections most browsers (and now Windows) have put into place.
I think it matters the most for the first job you get. I ended up working for a similar lesser-known state university right after graduating from there. That gave me the experience I needed to land a "real" job. So experience is most important, but the underlying education is what can get you into the door with your first job or a good internship. I suggest taking an internship even if it isn't paid, unless you work to support yourself.
I've heard it's better if you can go the route of a CO, but the majority of the armed forces aren't that high level. It's definitely not like the commercials on TV with soldiers jet skiing and playing golf -- at least not in my personal opinion formed by observing from afar.
Yes I agree, their marketing is a little dubious. Most of the jobs they show you that look interesting are the ones that require you to be an Officer and hence have a college degree. I have the utmost respect for people that would make this kind of a sacrifice for their country, but I do believe some people are just plain naive. They find a women, knock her up 5 times, then join the military and get the free health care and the crummy pay and just end up staying there until they die or are lucky enough to move out. Then there are the ones who are just doing it to get the money for college or whatever, expecting that they won't get sent anywhere. It's a little annoying when you hear them complain about being shipped off as if it said in their contract (for the military) that they would never have to do anything that involved real fighting.
Moreover, the federal elections should not be about states, but about all citizens in the country.
As far as citizens' votes are concerned, there is no such thing as a "federal election". We are a country of united separate states (hence the United States). The Constitution (yeah that silly old thing) specifically grants states sovereignty and power over themselves. The states must abide by the US Constitution and Federal laws, but most of what they legislate is completely up to them. Concerning the election, it is not 280+ million Americans voting in a federal election, it is 50 states casting their weighted vote as a part of the Union. The difference is subtle, but very large.
And it never occured to you that it was European imperialism that drove all those native Americans away? Alas, it makes sense you would blame the US for things that happened before it existed.
We deserve to get attacked again. We really do. We're such sheep.
Well you certainly do if you believe that. And still the Democrats wonder why they lost this election. It is this general elitism and malice (towards our own people even) that drives undecided voters away from the liberals and into the arms of the conservatives.
Regardless of your political beliefs, it is pretty sick that you are so petty that you think we deserve to get attacked because Kerry didn't win. You're like a child who's lost a video game and wants to break the machine. Grow the fuck up.
Perhaps exactly what we need is someone who hasn't made a career out of lying. All the complaints we hear about politicians are about how they lie and cheat and make claims that aren't true or promises that don't come to pass. Perhaps a normal citizen who has never been corrupted by politics would be exactly what we'd need to get this country going. Whether or not that's Badnarik specifically is another issue, but having someone who isn't a political veteran is not necessarily a bad thing.

So giving owners copyrights over their own work is a bad thing, eh? You're ready to throw out the GPL as invalid, then?
Oh right, copyrights are only bad if it stops you from getting movies and music for free. Gotcha.

Yes, thank FDR and the Democratic party for that. Damn socialists.
Thanks to this disclaimer nobody had to! ;)

It looks to me like a big damn explosion. Do you contend that this could have happened with helium inside?
I don't think the basement really qualifies as being a separate house. I mean, what if the whole place goes up in flames?
