If you don't like the way they lead, then run for office yourself.
Doubt I'd pass the piss test, but I will seek out and vote for people who do believe in an open government. The government is our servant, not our master. And remember, he just signed the civil rights act. He didn't write it. His comment? "We just lost the South". I would venture he had no choice. A veto would have probably been overridden. And maybe you don't remember Nixon as well as I do. My message is, if you want want to operate in secret, go somewhere else. Don't want you here.
Perhaps if the economic situation weren't so bad, there could be a good year of congressional hearings, where dirty laundry is thrown on the table and people who deserve it are thrown in jail.
Pretty good reason sabotage the economy and create a nice distraction. Works better than a sex scandal.
We must not allow the government to operate in secret. It is our lack of vigilance that put us where are today, with a government that becomes more corrupt with every passing day. We don't need you making excuses for them.
What if they want to listen to it on their computer?
What if I want to listen an FM station on my AM radio? This is just starting. Let's give it a bit of time to see what happens. The big news here is seeing the artists free themselves of the RIAA ball and chain. I'm not going to sweat the small stuff yet.
The bosses of the entertainment industry(no, not that "liberal media" bullcrap) are to the democrats as the oil industry is the republicans. Same shit different name.
Don't remember mentioning anything about MySpace. Are you saying they are the only other place you can upload your junk? Why can't this stuff be done in a more torrent/freenet type fashion where you can cut out the middleman? The net is supposed to be peer to peer. We need should try to keep it that way.
I'm not "forcing" anything. The "rest of us" get paid to perform. The performance is the tangible product the "rest of us" have to supply for our grub. You don't need to restrict distribution to get paid for what you create. You just need to create what people will pay for. Don't try to control the growth of the plant. Just keep feeding the roots. The more widely distributed you are(and if you want to pay someone to help give you a little push, great, but exclusivity is no more. It's the same thing as this), the more demand there will be your performance, at a price of your choosing. I simply want to remove the authority of one particular industry to make its business model the law of the land. And I repeat...
After all these years you're still not getting it, pal. This isn't an argument over creators rights, which present day IP has very little respect for. It's about government protected monopolistic distributors interfering with the rights of consumers. Everybody's more than happy to pay the creator for their work in the same fashion the rest of us get paid.
Yeah, if enough people made an issue of it, and actually voted with their wallets. But Microsoft need not worry about that any more than the incumbent politician in Washington needs to worry about being voted out of office.
But the proposal still stands. Anybody who agrees to that kind of language should be canned. They get no sympathy from me. This is why we have such crap products on the shelves today. The customer is supposed to be boss. It's about time they assume the role.

Not too shabby
There's always too much to do and never enough budget/manpower to do it.
*sigh* So much to do...So many unemployed...So confusing!

CRT monitors are exempt because VGA line frequency is > 22 kHz.
Well, that explains all the dogs howling and loitering around outside the house.
Hulu and several other media sites don't work outside the US, and finding an adequately responsive proxy is a bigger pain than I thought.

No biggie. Our insect overlords can deal. And it's easier here on earth. Hail Ants!

How could I? I don't know where you are.
Pffft! How 'bout people for using an alternative to facebook? I doubt they have a monopoly on this business.

Why? Just kill DMCA and at the very least roll copyright back to its original duration of 17 years.

I just saw that posted somewhere else, and I swear to god I forgot where it was.

My hero!
Yeah, but there's no prohibition against making lots of noise and getting on the front page when you have a product you need to push.
More free press for Canon. The real intention all along. Good job.
Or even this
but aren't they unproductive enough as it is?
That's their one saving grace.
