You obviously thought this up all by yourself, without the help of a committee, because it is really stupid, thereby disproving your point. Democracies ARE committees; that's the whole point. When you leave one or a handful of people in charge, you get Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Incompetence. Occasionally you get Hitler, Stalin and Mussolinis. Unchecked madness. Are you saying democracies are losers and military fascists are winners?
Also, your pointless rant is unfounded. These 10,000 assumed jackasses you refer to are merely offering ideas. A handful of people are making the decision of which ideas to go forward with. I don't understand why you're going crazy, except maybe that you could use a committee.
Isn't the hacker in legal trouble for downloading the same 3,000 pictures? (How else did he know the content was illegal?) He had to download them to his computer to view them, thereby committing the same crime as the guy he outed.
If the FTC or whomever must review the ENTIRE content of a video game, does that mean every possible combination of levels/characters/interactions? How long would that take? How would the FTC even know if they've covered all the levels? They would have to rely on the gamemakers. Yet that is exactly what Brownback claims is the problem with the current system: the gamemakers providing a sampling of the content.
This is an unworkable and self-defeating proposal. But if they need a game screener...
1. Was she found with lots of food, ale and smokes around her?
2. Was she wearing a ring?
3. Was she found near some place no one can pronounce, but that was surrounded by avalanching mountains and moving forests?
4. Was she found looking longingly into another female hobbit's eyes for uncomfortably long periods of time?
This will really help attract even more dedicated linux users. As a multimedia enthusiast, I left Linux because of the lack of multimedia support that was integrated to some level and that worked. Hopefully this will bring back some others who may have left for the same reasons.
Is MS going to start suing SAMBA for using SMB? Maybe that's why MS got Novell to sign the agreement--it would be the only distribution that can interoperate legally with MS technology like SMB and MS Word/Office formats.
Thanks to some opensource proponent (was it the FSF?), MS knows where to look to find infringing code in the kernel! Someone did an analysis (to prevent software patents, which was not going to work in the U.S.) to convince every linux user that patents were bad by demonstrating how the linux kernel potentially infringed on 200+ patents. You're going to say "potential," but NO opensource developer will have the $ to defend themselves against MS. I predict MS is going to start suing like a motherfucker and linux is going to go away.
"The data suggest that, in fact, dark energy has changed little, if at all, over the course of cosmic history. Though hardly conclusive, that finding lends more support to what has become the conventional theory, that the source of cosmic antigravity is the cosmological constant, a sort of fudge factor that Einstein inserted into his cosmological equations in 1917 to represent a cosmic repulsion embedded in space. Although Einstein later abandoned the cosmological constant, calling it a blunder, it would not go away. It is the one theorized form of dark energy that does not change with time."
Could this dark energy just be a guy? Like dark energy, we change little, if at all, over comic history. Our wives are always calling us fudge factor. And we really know how to bring gravity down. And now Einstein calls us a blunder that will not go away. I mean really, we get the message: we suck like a black hole.

I wonder how many songs this professor has downloaded...
Sure, but did they Trademark the Patent that looks for Copyright by IP Freely? (apologies to Bart Simpson).
Shouldn't they just call it uPhone? That way, when someone asks, "iPhone?", you can reply, "No. uPhone."
Since they reduced the 3 finger salute (ctrl-alt-delete) to a 1 finger salute, they should rename it "FlipOff".

For it to display on his computer, it must have been loaded in cache or at least in RAM, therefore being on his computer.

But will the bird flu choke your penguin?
Soon everything we think and do will be illegal and we will all be criminals under Christian sharia law.
Maybe this guy thought the DMCA was the Dance Millenium Copyright Act and wanted send the dance dance people to sing sing.

and touched someone, a big feat for geeks like us.
My phoney self was just waking from sleeping embed when it read this.
I guess that puts the USGS between a rock and a hard place.

It's called a "bumpennoggin."
They should not have dumped the files in /usr/bin, but in /dev/null.
Was this manifesto copyrighted?
It sounds like a Tail of Too Shities!
Shouldn't they be calling them "Apple Cores?"
I guess when your youboat is going to sink, you need a youtube to keep you afloat.
