I don't think I'd give it a second thought. As long as I don't have to work more than an hour to afford a case of beer, they can drop everything below 100 dollars as far as I'm concerned.
I don't think that it is a Good Idea until the country moves to an entirely electronic system.
Hmmm, Diebold pennies...not without a paper trail.
All right! Daniel Carver posting on Shashdot. "Wake up, Waaht Peeple." Looks like I'm not the only one getting nailed by mods with no sense of humor. Gotta find a way to weed 'em out.
Then use Chevron. Nobody forces you to use Shell, or buy an iPod. I think it's silly. If the iPod doesn't do what you want it to, then don't buy the damn thing. I didn't. Regulating objects of fashion, that's great. I think I'll sue Gilbert Adrian because the Ruby Slippers only come in red.
Why do you single them out? Is there a government(or any large group for that matter) somewhere, anywhere that doesn't work that way? I will grant that the hypocrisy factor does put the US at the top. But the problem itself is worldwide, if not the whole physical universe. And it isn't exclusive to humans.
are the same as all other publishers, only trying to protect their interests. And like the others, they distrust "free", and even more so the concept of self publishing that doesn't pass through their gates, just like the RIAA. If these gatekeepers want to insure their value, then they just have to prove that what they publish is more valuable or trustworthy than the self publisher. Interesting FUD they're putting out though.
I believe that the voters are more influenced by campaign financing than the politicians are. If the money does not translate into votes, then the amount donated will be completely irrelevant. There's no need to change or even implement any rules regarding campaign financing or term limits or anything else that removes the voters ability to decide for themselves. These regulations only attack the symptoms, and do nothing to get the voters to decide more carefully. It's another form of off-loading responsibility. And it completely fails to acknowledge the fact that most voters put their own self interests above all else. What we see is the result of that. This is what the politicians reflect, and they act accordingly.
A REAL liberal would never, ever do such a thing. And neither would a true conservative. Don't let mass media re-write the dictionary, or extremists define your language.
...but it seems that we did not realize that Hussain was the thing plugging up the dike.
We knew exactly what his puropse was. That's precisely why we kept him there for 25 years. And the shah for 26 years in Iran. And Pinoche in Chile, Marcos in the Phillipines, Somoza in Nicaragua...the list goes on. You can blame the damn media for exposing our real intentions and hypocrisy about fomenting "democracy". So now we will foment chaos and destruction to "prove" that we were right in supporting these hooligans, and that you need an iron fist to keep the peace. Right now, all that chaos is very good for the bottom line. As the old joke goes, When you write the check to pay your taxes, remember, there are two L's in Halliburton.
The guy who steals the laptop. Today you should assume the worse. "Privacy policies" and the lame security procedures are a real joke, designed to protect the company, not the employee or the customer. Anything you put on the net or on any computer connected to net is being broadcast worldwide, just like on the radio. If somebody wants access, they will have it. The internet is not a series of tubes. It's a very leaky pipe. If the Alaska oil pipeline was as leaky as the net, none of the oil would reach the other end. On the net, you don't send a message, you spray it all over. A spit-take is the best way to visualize it.
Telling them they can't have your SSN until you get a contract or serious offer will, in most cases, mean you won't get it at all.
If we all did that, they wouldn't have much choice, would they? Not asserting your rights to avoid raising red flags will cost you those rights. We protect our rights by using them, and if the company thinks you're some kind of criminal for it, then we need to send the collective message of "screw you". If we accept this kind of treatment, then we shouldn't complain when the rights are removed off the books. In other words "quitchebellyachin'". The power is ours to lose. "That's the way it is" shouldn't mean just "lie down and enjoy it". We should set the rules, not them.
It's a little like trying to get a Quarter Pounder without cheese. It's not on the menu. You have to ask for it. And watch as the cashier will not know how to process the order.
The abuse is as permanent as the the law itself. It's an abuseive law designed to be used this way, just like RICO and all IP law for that matter. These laws don't exist to provide "justice". They are there to protect the revenue stream of a particular interest. Just like small town speed traps.

Even a iPod has been recorded as screwing with avionics on major airliners and they dont even broadcast anything.
All electrical devices broadcast something. Put a cable tracer next to it. You'll hear all sorts of racket.
...and do NOT make good stripper tips.
They keep falling out of the coin slot, eh?

Just stick with Norway. They have fjords.

That's why I used the cache., so you could get right to it. I'm writing it off as "freaks with points". Screw 'em.

Dense is good?
Could be the same confusion some people suffer over the term "mensa". Or is it "mensa"?
Again?
And just because I know who made them doesn't mean I'm gay

Why didn't they outlaw copyright??
The US Government

Contrary to popular belief, it is not your god-given right to take your Chevy to the levee for free.
It's not anybody's god given right to make laws to stop me either.
