If you're against copyrights, then you're also against the GPL which is a copyright license.
If there were no copyrights, there would be no need for GPL. Of course, I think there should be copyrights and strong copyright enforcement, so long as the copyright terms are limited to 28 years with the option to renew for another 28 years (as it was before the life + n years garbage).
Which basically means that the study was utterly useless and waste of tax payers' money. No one has reasonably suggested that there is a nutritional difference between organically grown food and conventionally grown food. The proper questions are: (1) is organic farming more sustainable? (2) does the elimination of chemical pesticides lead to better health? Question (1) is important since, even if conventionally grown food allows us to feed 9-10 billion people, if it is not sustainable the world population will face mass starvation when the natural mechanism break down (such as overly toxic water or soil, among other possible problems).
and that nutbag down the road who lives in his mother's basement and believes that JFK was assassinated by time travelling Nazi robots sent back by the NWO in league with the communist vampires, controlled by the Zionist overlords.
But they also call reducing the amount a department's funding is scheduled to increase a budget cut, which is also not true except by their broken definition.
Yes, because there is no such thing as inflation. I would like to be your employer. That way, I can pay you the same salary in 30 years that I pay you this year. On second thought, nix that. If you really think that way, you are too stupid to work for me.
What's sad is that he sued Buzz Aldrin for this. I don't know. If I just got my ass kicked by a septegenerian, I think I would hide in a hole and hope everyone forgot. I certainly wouldn't sue the guy.
The whole needing F-22s if we ever get into a conventional war with a Great Power thing is a canard. Great Powers have nuclear weapons, so conventional wars aren't possible; we send in F-22s and 8 hours later half the planet is glass.
Oh, bullshit. Most Great Powers have enough sense not to commit suicide. Nuclear war would only occur if we "march into Berlin" again (well, okay, the Ruskies did it, but you get my point). Instead of Der Fuhrer blowing his brains out, he would push the nuclear button. Basically, it does not rule out conventional warfare. It simply rules out total warfare, as practiced in the barabaric 20th century (as opposed to these enlightened times, of course ^_^).
Actually the worst offender in this arena isn't France or Russia -- it's our "major ally" Israel. At least when the French and Russians sell hardware to our adversaries they are selling stuff that they designed with their own resources. The Israeli's are all to happy to sell stuff that we designed.
Careful. Keep saying stuff like that, and you'll be branded an anti-Semite. After all, if you don't mindlessly support everything Israel does, you must hate Jews. Just like if you didn't support everything the Bush did, you must hate Caucasians.
I want peace on Earth and goodwill toward men.
We are the United States Government. We don't do that sort of thing.
Hitler said he just wanted peace too! You some kind of Nazi?
Hhhmmmmm.... It would appear that you are correct. Please drop off some of the Red Bull and Cheetos with my mom. I will be busy studying in the basement for readmittance.
I remember Phil Collins great drumming and Peter Gabriels vocals. Of course this was the old Genesis not the reformed one.
Yes, Phil Collins did great drumming and Peter Gabriel is a great singer, but they are much better apart than they are together. So, the whole Jupiter-Earth combination is kind of an anti-pre-reformed-Genesis.
in truth, we're just playing a statistics game, albeit with potentially fatal results for those who fall more than 3 sigma outside the norm.
True, but unfortunately a lot of things in society are set up to kill off those who fall more than 3 sigma outside the norm. We just keep looking for excuses to make ourselves feel good about the fact that we are doing it.
Just like Soviet Russia, we're moving towards Socialism.

Sorry, but remarks like this also reminds me Major Frank Burns - "When are you two going to learn about Chinese treachery? Did Pearl Harbor teach you nothing?"
You do realize that the American Revolution ended in 1783, yes? The War of 1812 was more of a diversion, especially for you guys having to deal with Napolean. Keeping the world safe from democracy is a bit of a British obsession.
Very good. My only complaint about your post is that, at least in the States, the far right has the same strategy. The far left gives us tyranny in one way, while the far right gives us tyranny in a different way. It's as though they are playing for the same team.
There's not a lot of news that effects everyone in the world all at once. Probably as soon as North Korea launches a nuke against someone the same thing will happen.
You're probably right. On Sept. 11, 2001, the news sites all ground to a halt as everyone tried to find out what was going on.
A while back I put together a document that points out some serious problems with how Algore has gone about making his points...
The fact that you refer to him as "Algore" as well as the fact that you aren't debating actual climate scientists shows that you are nothing more that a pedantic fuckwit who wishes he was fellating Rush Limbaugh.

That's ridiculous! Vampires aren't communists!
Someone disagreed with you, so they modded you troll. Or, to use a slashdot meme (and looking at your UID): You must be new here.

Well, they are getting closer . I mean, these cars are even smaller than the comically tiny car in the movie Brazil.
I'm only saying this because I care. There are many decaffeinated brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing.

I've wondered the same thing myself. Could some lawyer person explain why the concept of laches does not apply to this kind of scenario?

Since you brought it up, I thought I'd link to the video on YouTube. One of my all-time favorites!

For the love of Heaven! The war has been over for 226 years! Get over it, already!
Which country and head of state are you talking about? There have been so many.

If this works in China, it will be the next Obama Youth program...
