I'm afraid the pertinent language there is, No State... It leaves us wide open to whatever the feds want to do. This "piece of paper" will not protect us. It was only seven years old when the first widely known violations occurred. And it's not property "rights" we must keep. Especially something so irrational as intellectual property. It's the right to life and liberty that we must enforce.
...they did not engage the guy directly, nor did they try for mob justice.
This time.... A little work with photoshop can turn any one of you into a "child molester", and you will be smoked out of your house and hanging from from a tree before anybody can clear it up.
than the banks blaming the customers and making them jump through hoops because the banks' own lame security practices. The banks and Microsoft, Apple, etc should be held responsible. The customers need to demand it.
should get a PBS channel. With a semi-annual begathon and everything. Of course sites like vote smart, open secrets, and c-span are good enough for me. They show what the politicians do, not just what they say. And crooks and liars is always good for a few laughs.
The "3 second" rule is quite old and very sensible. And it works... for those who pay attention and don't have to be first to the red light. I wish the cops would hand out tickets for violations. Not a flame, just common courtesy and good sense. It has kept me accident free. I have since sworn off driving. Just not worth the hassle and expense. Now, watching the poor fools stuck traffic is a good source of entertainment.
Gas, brake, honk. Gas brake, honk. Honk, honk, punch. Gas, gas gas. heh, suckers
...increase in rear-end collisions due to unexpectedly short yellow lights...
Favorite bumper sticker: "Go ahead, hit me. I need the money."
Keep your distance, even when you're stopped, and pay attention to driving the car, and that issue will go away. The insurance industry is perfectly aware, and correctly so, that if you rear-end somebody, it's YOUR fault. No ifs, ands, or buts.
Well, not the article so much as the discussion...We've already discussed vaccinations. This should be about overreaching subpoenas, which in this case goes way too far.
The purpose of these kind of rules is to give the authorities "probable cause" to knock your door down. To make everybody a "criminal". And to generate revenue and increase conscripted labor through the prison system.
is completely nullifying the 1st amendment. What the government can only dream of doing is being taken up by private entities. Yet another proxy war against the citizenry. Using the same citizens to do it. Cool trick, huh? It will all mean nothing just as soon as we can manufacture our own hardware. Can't happen soon enough.
Your whole discussion here overlooks the one true advantage Linux has over Windows. I can take a surplus box and install Linux on it and give it away or sell it for 25-50 bucks without breaking the law (a seemingly favorite obsession of yours). Try doing that with Windows and staying in business. Oh, and switching amongst different languages has its advantages, too, where I live.
You are a fanboy troll.
:-) I certainly do love hearing that kind of stuff coming from you. I guess the messenger really is the message. Oops. Gotta go before I start to take you seriously.
Highly dangerous for our authoritarian overlords. This will be one of the most liberating devices ever conceived. No longer will anybody ever be able to cripple our hardware again if we can make our own. No more DRM, censorship, etc. Wifi cloud, here we come. Finally we will own the means of production in the sense it was meant to be. Could put a lot of folks out of business. Damn commies
People in authority shouldn't get a second chance. I know I wouldn't if I committed extortion. She's a common criminal who should suffer the same fate as any other common criminal. Too bad they let her off. But then, file sharers aren't exactly politically connected.

In reality, things are mostly going rather well over there.
Well hell, maybe we oughta move NASA over there before Obama pulls the plug.

For the numbers, I think I'll stick with these guys
Ted Kennedy must be wondering when he's going to get his sainthood declared.
Just as soon as he can bring Mary Jo back to life

Ah, that reminds me of the old joke:
Policeman: Don't you know what the yellow light means?
Driver: Yeah! It means go like hell. It's about to turn red.
I mean dupe!

If he can just patent it, and sell the patent to medicine companies, he would become richer than he can now even dream of.
Or more likely, he'll end up like this guy
If it crashes into a graveyard, my patented algorithm will determine where to bury the survivors.

They are limited to taking your rights and your property away from you...
Well, that's what copyright does. It takes away your right to copy. In this case, to replicate your possessions.
To sum it up, he wants to tax everything. Such is the nature of the bureaucrat.

But now I can have my Kate and Edith too
No Western government, no matter how hard it tried, could hide that many deaths.
How many indigenous Americans died as all those folks from the Old country moved west?
In the context of Chinese history, the Tiananmen Square incident was a blip.
Is that smaller than a comma?

the sheer mechanics of it are mind-boggling.
