We have this new fangled internet thingy that makes it a little more difficult to hide these things. Hope is indeed alive. As for the change part, well that's up to us. Now... about this Conyers bastard... and Hatch, and Lieberman.. I suppose there's little chance of getting rid of them while they bring home the bacon. Stop voting for these people!
The whole thing has been cleverly orchestrated by Microsoft. And when they defeat the red menace, they shall be seen as heroes.Beautiful plan. I wish I thought of it myself.
In a fair and just society, everyone would also have the same authority. If you want more authority to take away other peoples' rights, then you should lose some rights to keep things in balance. For instance, if you wish to prohibit a certain activity, we have the right to do whatever is necessary to see that you also live within the rules, or you simply lose your authority.
Guess you never heard of the Sword of Damocles, have you? If you want to sit in a seat of power, we have every right to hang that sword overhead. Helps to do away with the desire to make a career out of this business. And we're talking about judges and political leaders here, not Ms Bouvier from the DMV, though I suspect they wield much greater power.
If you wish to maintain a position of authority, then you must be subject to more scrutiny than the average person. And privacy and presumption of innocence are just a couple of the things that must be sacrificed for the job. They are public servants, and we need to remind them of that.
Oh so what... They won't able to stop people from modifying, disassembling, and distributing it on their own. That's your community. No rules saying you have to use the "official" downloads.
what I am not aware of is when we started screaming the government was guilty until proven innocent.
Goes with the territory. Those in positions of authority should have to prove their innocence. It is our obligation to revoke that authority otherwise. Nothing more need be done.

Only about half of households in America even have a computer, and fewer have broadband access.
That's a whole lot more people than 40 years ago. Even I, who crave instant gratification, must be patient.

You're funny
What gives my ISP the right to start monitoring my packets just because they suspect I'm pirating something?
The government. You know, those crazy baldheads that keep getting reelected all the time? You gotta vote for the right lizard.

I would rather download a nice little utility, but Microsoft seems to want to take this direction. Now that's progress!
You may find it easier to follow the steps if you burn down your house first.
Even the RIAA is getting into the act by reducing the amount of their claims.
to fight spam...I like it! That's the government for ya, always doings things it prohibits others from doing. For our own good, of course..
You see, Microsoft is akin to a proctologist. Sticking things where they don't belong.
Well, in the case of the proctologist, that could be in your ear.
Who?
But with the internet we can route around CNN.
Damn! If you can load that page in less than 30 seconds, you got a pretty good connection. If they want to cap anything, it should be the advertising.
They're jazzercising Fry's muscles!
Then we should plant lots of kelp. And there is little chance of a fire in a kelp forest.
Oh no! What about the deaf *and* blind?
I suppose a taser would fit the bill there.

...will almost certainly call for more violence between Israelis and Muslims...
Place the blame where it belongs, on those who heed the call.
