Yes, but the standards and punishments need not be the same, nor does the law have to have the same name. That means that if the asylum state has an obscenity law (and they all do), even if the standards are not the same, under treaty the asylum state has to extridite.
Because Iran isn't part of the United States so federal law and the U.S. Constitution say we don't have to, but Tennessee is part of the U.S. and the laws say you do have to. Pretty simple. Don't like the laws? Work to elect people who will work to amend the laws to better reflect your values.
Dude, learn a bit about the law in the U.S. if you're going to comment on it. You sure as shit can bring charges up aginst entities outside your community. Guess what? The law enforcement and courts in the other jurisdiction are legally obliged to arrest the person, decide if the case has merit in it's filing jurisdiction, and extridite you for prosecution if it does. These laws are based in the Constitution, and are designed to keep people from simply fleeing across state lines to avoid prosecution.
dada21 didn't read the article since what you are suggesting is EXACTLY what the law suite was about.
dada21 is saying you shouldn't be responsible as the producer, the consumer should be responsible for following it's community standards, but the case that was panned by the SCOTUS was exactly the opposite of what he is saying, but he is, in print, agreeing with them.
That's debatable. I think it may have been a bit earlier since Eisenhower continued and expanded quite a few New Deal and Fair Deal programs even though the economy had turned around, mostly, long before.
But the law they passed on wasn't concerning the viewing of the materials. It was about whether the production and distribution of the material was threatened under the "Communications Decency Act of 1996" due to there being no national standard. The plaintiff was arguing that without national standards, her photography, which is considered art(protected) where she lives and produces it could be considered obscene in other parts of the U.S., and that under CDA96 she could be prosecuted if the materials were viewed over the internet.
Neither time I was involved with a presentation did I have to negotiate a thing. They talked to me and my collegue, then our boss, a week or so before the conference one of their reps showed up and gave us our tickets and reservations information. We showed up and attended the other conference presentations the first few days, then presented ours, and screwed off the rest of the time. We got one nice evening meal along with the rest of the presenters on the first night, and a vendor picked up the tab at a seriously expensive, but mediocre, resturant another night since our presentation was tied to their product.
Geeze, what loser outfits do you present at? The few that I and my collegues have been involved with have been paid by the conference or one of the conference sponsors. (one of each actually).
Well, it's my information. I am paying them to process and file my tax returns. Nothing more, nothing less. If they are going to sell the information needed to do a task I paid them to do, they owe me money. You want to sell my personal information? Pay me $50 for the privilege of doing my taxes.
No worry mate. Grommit will simply build him another rocket so he can go to the moon for all of that free cheese. This time they'll take a cheese grater so that they can make "snow".
So, all the content on Digg is original and unique, right? No? Why not?
There is a bit of a delay between when an article is submitted and when an editor reviews it and it's posted to front page on Slashdot. The delay to show up on the front page is much less on digg. If someone submits the story to both places at the same time, it will usually show up on digg first because it just has to get enough diggs on the digg area queue.
Well, now that I've gotten to read the article, I believe that it should have been titled "Eye Candy Doesn't Sell Product". Big shock there. Many of the sites he mentions aren't ugly, they're simply not bullshit rich environments.
Well, for some people new to web design the answer is "because I can." Remember flashing text from the 1996-1997 era? God, that was awful. Absoultly hideous.
I would guess they could make a case under the "Review and Criticism" clause, and they MIGHT make a bizarre attempt at categorizing it as "Reporting the NEWS", but that would be a real stretch.
Satire doesn't have to be "Ha Ha" funny. I'm American. I follow world politics fairly loosely, and I can tell that the Australian PM, wossisname, Um, Howard Dean? Nah. Oh, yeah, John Howard didn't write that. His political allies would shit kittens, then have him commited to the loonie bin for saying those things.
Would I want patronizing ass wipes to say how sorry they were, and how unfortunate I was? No. Would I want access to the technology and a chance to use it for a better life? You bet your ass I would.
The laptops in question are not meant to play games. They are not even meant to be a machine to use for business accounting. If you can replace $200 worth of text books with a $100 computer and a handful of SD cards and such, I it is cheaper to get the educational tools and information to the students. The kids also no longer need paper and pencils to do most of their work. They can type it in. The built in peer to peer networking will allow colaboration between the students and an easy way to turn in assignments. Maybe some of those texts can be on how to build sanitary latrines, low tech farming techniques, and how to keep pests from eating 60% of your harvest. That may just be beneficial for the poor people in some parts of the world.
What's with the psycho Mods the last month or so? The meta-mod process must be even more broken than usual since griefers and morons are getting lots of mod points.
(yes, THIS post is offtopic and flamebait. I'm betting the mods screw that up too. Come on guys, suprise me.)

Oh, and I forgot to finish my thought, double criminality only applies to extradition to other countries, not other states in the union.

Well, it's only a feature if it's featured. HTH.
I have too much self respect to do that.

Politicians truly believe ignorance is bliss. Ignorance by the votors is political bliss.
You've been modded a troll, but I'm still trying to figure out if your comment is a troll, or an attempt at sarcasm/irony. Hmmm.

Well, that is a definite plus for the product. I didn't do any research, and assumed that the product was closed source and proprietary.
