No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
The first clause applies to citizens, the other two apply to any person. Which is fine, because they are talking about different protections as well. Non-citizens don't get "privileges or immunities", but they still get life, liberty, property, and equal protection.
No, we're supposed to let the constitution determine it. That's how we do things here in America - to quote a line more commonly used by republicans: if you don't like it, get out.
"thought he was breaking the law" - Which, while it may make a difference morally, probably has no legal basis unless it turns out he was actually breaking the law.
Combine that with "hacking" laws in many places which make it a crime to use someone else's computer or their processing power, or even to cause their computer to slow down "without permission", and it becomes arguable enough that a greed of lawyers could have a good go at arguing it.
Copyright law doesn't even enter into this - there are dozens of state laws directly covering computer crime - i.e. the act of getting access to her hardware itself without her permission (IANAL BTSBO)
Note: IANAL, and i really don't know what i'm talking about
It goes further than that - If they've made an explicit claim that they _did_ break into your computer, they may be estopped from later claiming they didn't if you take them to court for having broken into your computer.
Parent post did not state he was american. I assumed that by "foreign" he meant american. So, yes, he's perfectly justified in blaming the RIA*A* on "foreigners" if he's not from america himself.
Ooh, anything that was used in 1987 must have been since time immemorial. I was two years old in 1987, but i know there have been _billions_ of years of time before i was born:P
and "You can thank the 'copyright infringers'"? Where are you even going with that - nothing else in your post supports your claim that copyright infringers first named themselves pirates.
The earth/moon system is damn close to being a double planet as it is - the center of orbit is only 1000 miles from the earth's surface, some 13% of earth's diameter.
"different words" aren't often so different - you can figure out that french and german (about as different as norman vs anglo-saxon) are related from vocabulary. there are patterns of systematic sound changes.
I know it's _really_ about human survival - but trying to paint it as a moral issue in terms of protecting everything else from us is not only dishonest, but counterproductive.
I find the desire to stop global warming relatively acceptable when it's cast as a human-survival issue - however, most people tend to cast it as an environmental issue, which I find supremely arrogant - "What's bad for us MUST be bad for the planet"

MacOS Classic also had preferences files - stored in :System Folder:Preferences
Politically, it's about where the US was in the 1780s - a collection of states that are associated with each other for various political reasons.
You'll deny it, but how is the EU really different from the US under the articles of confederation?

IHNTA, but that is a classic color scheme. Who is it that first came up with the wheat/darkslategray combination? is it some CDE thing?
The c-m will have restrictions on where they can live imposed upon them.
Yes, for the duration of their sentence. Which happens to be a life sentence, regardless of what it may be called. Wonderful system we have, isn't it?

The berne convention does not allow the US to deprive foreign governments of their copyright.
I'd say this guy knew he was breaking the law
You misspelled "thought".

FYI your definition of binary planet includes Pluto/Charon. Also, the sun and Jupiter would then form a binary object system.

"travelling together with a common purpose"
how in the HELL did THAT get into the law?

So what? It's highly relevant to a story which claims that microsoft is "for the first time" using open-source code.
Except that we don't have a tradition of keeping store invoices to have on hand in case of resale.
The presence of a serial number is nothing like a title document.
Hmm - when did they pass that law legalizing barratry, anyway?
