No, what they're saying is that they, as the auction provider, have a responsibility to come to the house of everyone selling an item and demanding to see the original sales receipt to prove it wasn't stolen. Cancelling auctions after it's established the item can't legitimately be sold is a lot different than claiming the seller needs to prove the item can be sold.
And exactly how do I benefit from knowing exactly who the jerks who are sending me email I don't want are, if you think they can claim a First Amemndment right to send me as much junk as they want to?
Yeah, and anyone who works for Sony in the US should feel very guilty about taking the jobs of the Japanese workers who really deserve them, too. It's an abomination.
That's because Americans are brainwashed from birth to believe that "Communism" means "evil form of dictator-controlled government based around the idea of killing all Americans", rather than a political philosophy dedicated to the rights of the workers.
The fact that most governments that have called themselves "Communist" have been ruled by elitist nutjobs whose only motivation was to increase their own power doesn't help, of course.
Yeah, but imagine how big the engines on this spaceship will need to be to launch a ship made of something as dense as gold or platinum. Not to mention the cost of the raw materials to build the thing. And, well, the fact that gold, at least, isn't exactly known for its strength.
You know a markup language (DTML) is horrible when the people writing the documentation repeatedly tell you not to use it right there in the middle of the documentation, but to write Python scripts instead.
Uh, yeah, Netscape invented the web browser several years before they existed. And don't even get me started about how horrible it was back in the days before the MP3 format was invented by Napster... Computers couldn't play music at all!! Idiot.
My point was that a disease classified by disordered thought patterns pretty much precludes someone who is suffering from it from being a "reasonable person." In a differential diagnosis, if your patient is reasonable, you can pretty much rule out schizophrenia (or psychoses in general). A "reasonable" person with schizophenia-like symptoms other than the whole unreasonableness thing more likely has schizotypal personality disorder or something similar, IMO.
And that site actually does have a trademark for "GarageBand". Apple trademarked "Garage Band", which is not the name of their product. But I'm guessing they're not too worried about some indy music website putting together enough funding to sue them successfully.
I doubt anyone "complains" that IE redirects to a search page when it gets an NXDOMAIN, since it doesn't. People on slashdot who haven't tried actually typing an invalid domain name into IE complain about a feature that doesn't exist.
I kind of doubt they just made up the financial motivation behind getting out of the deal to coverup Steve's ego. The fact is that Pixar does all the work in creating really impressive movies that make millions of dollars and win awards, while Disney gets a disproportionate share of the profits. Pixar can easily find someone else to distribute their movies, and Disney can go back to producing junk that's not even animated as well as their own stuff from the 1930s.
Never attribute to petty bickering what can be more easily attributed to the desire for bigger profits.
No, they realized that even with the 100 million votes for Bush by military absentee ballots (and accusing anyone who questioned those votes of being unpatriotic because they don't want to let people vote when they're off risking their lives to defend our country, and how dare you question their valor by pointing out that there aren't nearly that many people in the military), he could still lose when 150 military absentee ballots are cast for Howard Dean, who wasn't actually on the ballot.
Better to leave the military out of the plans to steal the election this time, and let Diebold handle it in a way no one else will be able to hack.
No, it isn't. I suggest you buy a dictionary. Even following Latin pluralization rules, it would be "viri", not "virii".

So what you're saying is that you don't believe at all in the rule of law, and you prefer a society where each person decides what's right and wrong and kills anyone who disagrees with them. I hope you'll agree that every single other person in the world has a right to preemptively kill you, then, to be consistant.

You believe in the law as the way to run the country, but you advocate murdering people who show up at your door with a court order? Uh, yeah.

If you're right, I'm releasing a distro called "Microsoft Windows 2005", changing the name, and making BILLIONS!

If I was looking for a specific URL that I already know, why would I have been using a search engine in the first place?

Every album every released is composed exclusively of tracks that no one needs (not want, need).
The average hacker probably does not fantasize about women who are over 40. Sorry.

I am not a psychiatrist, but I'm pretty sure a schizophrenic is not, by definition, a reasonable person.

YHBT.
According to http://www.xe.com/ucc/, which I miraculously found by typing "Currency converter" into Google:
7000 INR = 154.79 USD
50 INR = 1.10 USD

I suppose "nite" is the correct spelling, rather than "night", as well. I can provide references.
My calculator, unfortunately, is not able to divide by zero.
