The Constitution does refer to citizens and persons in different contexts. Thus you're saying that all of times "persons" are referenced really means "citizens."
The founding fathers certainly were not haphazard with their wording.
Perhaps your perception is skewed. US antitrust laws have largely been ignored by the current administration and the congress for years now. Is it the EUs fault that they are enforcing their laws?
Whose fault is it that we're busy limiting and ignoring our antitrust laws in the US?
As a long time customer of Speakeasy I will be switching ISPs as soon as I can find a suitable replacement company.
The only reason I can think of for this move is that the founders of Speakeasy wanted to cash out. This move certainly is not in the best interest of their customers. Did Best Buy acquire Speakeasy only for their organization? I can't imagine that they would think they could retain Speakeasys customers.
from Article 16, Alternative V:
2. In particular, effective legal remedies shall be provided against those who: ...
(iii) participate in the manufacture, importation, sale, or any other act that makes available a device or system capable of decrypting or helping to decrypt an encrypted program-carrying signal.
Technically, wouldn't this also make it illegal for a supplier to provide a means to decrypt the signal by even the original transmitter? Not to mention that set top boxes would be illegal as well.
Perhaps we should support this, since it would effectively make it useless for broadcasters to encrypt signals since they couldn't legally decrypt them.
I agree that it is good that IBM has been able to successfully defend itself from the lawsuit initiated by SCO. It is also good that SCO had the stupidity to sue someone with both deep pockets and a significant stake in Linux that was willing to fund their lawyers properly.
I am still disturbed however to be supporting a big, bad (well, in the past), corporation against the little guy. No matter how evil the little guy is in this particular case. Somehow the glee that infects the open source community from IBM's good strikes against SCO just don't sit well with me.
The threat is not dumb Americans you pompous arrogant condescending coward, it's terrorists who want to fecking kill us. You know how we fix this problem? We MUST destroy BOTH their ability and desire to wage war with us, and we don't stop until those have been absolutely achieved.
We need to find a way to get the moderate muslim majority off of their asses and get them to do the work of cleaning up what is really their problem not ours. Personally, I don't give a f**k if the moderate muslims hate us, so, I would pursure a disproportional response strategy. If you start killing tens of thousands of moderates to get a few bad guys the moderates might get the idea that it is a far, far better thing for them to take care of the bad guys than waiting for us to do it.
You have an awfully depressing view of the future.
Quite possibly the best thing which could happen to humanity would be for someone to invent a device/drug/whatever which would allow every human to live as an in-shape twenty-something until an accident killed them. If that were to happen we would have many incentives to actually fix a large number of our problems. Everyone having a long, healthy life would not allow the luxury of passing the buck to the next generation to solve the problems of our making. We would have to become long term thinkers because of a long life span.
CNN is carrying a story about one of the new investors in SCO, BayStar Capital Management, which wants SCO to "shake up its management and sharpen its focus on the potentially lucrative legal fight" and "spend less money on its Unix products." One has to wonder what BayStar is expecting as a reaction to their being so... blunt.

It is true that -8 is greater than 17 billion since they computed it on a 32 bit machine. (-179869184 == (int)17 billion)

Is it possible to have POW's without a congressionally declared war?

Oh god, lord help us!
Here are a few references to increasing solar cell output with Fresnel lenses. Enjoy!
