Allow me to illustrate: suppose I enroll my son in community baseball. After six weeks, I find out that the baseball coach had two prior convictions of sex with children younger than 12, and that a liberal judge gave him probation for those crimes. (In case you didn't know, most child predators will actively seek out job positions where they can be around children.) Do you think my concern at that moment should be about "weak laws" or about the safety of my child? If I argue that this man should be monitored and removed from his job position, do you think I should feel receptive to liberals who lambaste me and accuse me of being a Nazi because "that man already paid his debt to society"? If I'm going to be forced to choose between protecting the well-being of my child and protecting the rights of a predtory child rapist, I will choose the former over the latter every single time. Do you regard that as unethical?
He(hypothetical i assume) sure as hell should not be allowed to work with children, and should go back to jail for attempting to work with children. nor should he be allowed to get out of jail.
I also have no problem with monitoring sex offenders after their jail term is done, so long as the law was in place and the court order came at the time of conviction. My problem is with things such as New York's so called "civil confinement" which was the logical next step after the "civil asset forfeiture" abomination was allowed to stand. NY "civil confinement" does not even have a law backing it right now, just Patacki turning due process of law into "due process (unless we don't lik the results) of law"
also make sure to leave parts of your scripts in your home directory so if the new guy is a little too trigger happy on the account deletions all hell breaks loose next reboot
better, set up the search path so that some startup or timed script is normally found and executed inside your account, but in another location searched only if not found on your account there is a script of the same name that is eaither super destructive or "just a little bit wrong"
not wrong enough to delete the whole system, but maybe wrong enough to send all future system backups into either the bitbucket or encrypted before being sent to tape.
HOWEVER if you patent using willow bark to make a pill for headache then I couldn't sell a pill made from willow bark even if the process of converting it into a medically reliable pill i use is entirely different.
i have no problem with life in prison for child rapists, in fact i fully support it. What i have a problem with is the exploitation of fear to move certain crimes into a "anything goes as long as we punish them" category.
Why won't you stick up for my kid instead? Do you believe that once a child rapist gets caught he'll never do it again?
I don't think child rapists should be allowed out of prison. ever. But if the law/sentance says 5 years let them out after five years. the problem is weak laws.
the firebombing of tokyo killed more innocent people than the nuclear strikes. a conventional invasion would have cost more innocent and military lives, would have destroyed more infrastructure, and wasted more resources.
there was nothing particularly horrible about the nuclear strikes themselves and even the after effects of radiation can be compared reasonably to burn injuries which can be just as painful.
the ACLU is one of few recognizing that the latest pedophile witch hunt is just that, a witch hunt. there has not been an increase in number of child molestations and rapes. here in NY die fuehrer patacki has used "civil confinement" to arbitrarily extend prison sentances after the fact. however because the target is sex offenders and child molesters nobody gives a damn or they support it. how long before drug dealers and drunk drivers, they are up there on the "skewer for political benefit" list. they can already confiscate your home if pot is growing in your yard without a trial. they can confiscate your car without a conviction and you have to sue and win to get it back.

iirc XP and maybe even 2k moved many drivers out from ring 0, i think video and maybe sound remain but most other stuff is contrlled a little better now.
most devices are not supposed to be in poorly ventilated spaces, the design flaw is in entertainment centers without adequit airflow.
placing devices on carpet is bad for them and will often shorten the lifespan of heat-sensitive components, however the Xbox 360 shows acute symptoms rather than simply failing twice as quickly as properly placed units.
more like a car with a manual that says you need to fill it with gas to keep it going. EVERYTHING tells you not to operate in unventilated spaces or in thick carpet, it's just that people always ignore directions due to stupidity and the fact that most products are resiliant enough to withstand user stupidity. however in the case of the Xbox 360 they actually mean it when they say not to put it in enclosed spaces or on thick carpet.

there is nothing wrong with adware, realplayer used to be crappy but they have improved it tremendously. i have it installed on both of mymachines and only see it when i launch it manually or open real media files/streams
'risk' has little to do with the rules of the game itself, which makes it significantly stronger as a trademark than 'windows', which is almost purely a discription of the funciton of the operating system from a user interface point of view.
'Scion' was an existing term but Ford would get sued by Toyota and probably lose if they tried to sell a 'Ford Scion', and Ford would sue Toyota if they made a 'Toyota Explorer'.
windows is descriptive which is why it is trademarked as 'Microsoft Windows'

I did not mean to imply that you would support any sort of roundups and i apologise if I was harsh in my response.
I do support the rights of sexual predators to have their freedom taken away with due process of law rather than some arbitrary administative action.

I certainly hope you didn't complete that assignment.
it cuts the other way, under At Will they can't badmouth you or try to go after you legally for quitting with zero notice.

that only works when you gently place the needle on the surface. when you plop it in with an assload of hay it will sink.
the problem is you have to churn the hay so the needle won't get stuck to the floating hay.
HOWEVER if you patent using willow bark to make a pill for headache then I couldn't sell a pill made from willow bark even if the process of converting it into a medically reliable pill i use is entirely different.
on the contrary, this new worm will be a great victory against the stupid.
no i am arguing for civil liberties.

well since it is a flaw in microsoft's product i wouldn't consider such blame to be unreasonable

there is no indication of a fire hazard in the Xbox 360, bringing it up is just FUD.
most devices are not supposed to be in poorly ventilated spaces, the design flaw is in entertainment centers without adequit airflow.
placing devices on carpet is bad for them and will often shorten the lifespan of heat-sensitive components, however the Xbox 360 shows acute symptoms rather than simply failing twice as quickly as properly placed units.

the GT/ GTO models probably mean something (i know jack shit about cars so i don't know what)
being made up is better than any existing word, however existing and descriptive is still weaker than existing and irrelevant

that is stupid, you cannot make another game and call it risk, that is EXACTLY the point of trademark law.
