Hmm, let's see... I state that we have a right to uncontaminated air and water, and to protect that right by whatever means necessary. You call it "collectivism" and an infringement of your individual right to do what you please with said resources with an attempt to cloud what you're really saying by calling it "Orwellian doublespeak". Most people might fall for such nonsense. A reasonable person would see it for what it is. A claim that your "rights" are more valid than that of others. Well, I have to admit. You got the big guns on your side... for now. You want the state to protect your personal profit at the expense of others. You have been given every right to sicken us with your effluence.
Yeah, I can see why you're scared to enter the 'hood. Wouldn't wanna get hit by any drive-bys now, would ya? A guy like you will get chewed up(plucked in your case) pretty bad. See, we don't need to build walls around us to exclude people that disagree, the way you do. You need to surround yourself with your little yes-"men" to make you feel secure because the rest will bury you.
Moving it elsewhere is dishonest.
Oh, that's rich! I definitely get a chuckle out of your fearful rationalizations. Enjoy your kool-aid. *cluck cluck cluck*
It doesn't belong here. Eh, part of you problem, I guess The subject here is Christmas and lights. The other thread is much more appropriate, especially in your case since it's about you. I'm sure we can pick it up again later. Thanks for making my case. Toodles...
As long as he's carrying his weapon, a cop is never "off the job". And I also believe we must hold them to a much standard if we are to give authority over the rest of us. They and our politicians must lead by example, not by dictate. They must prove they are worthy of the job. Also, personal problems often do bleed over into the job, and vice versa. That's just the nature of the beast. And the dangerous tools they possess make it even more necessary for them to show they can keep their heads on straight. We must always keep the sword dangling over their heads, for our own protection.
So can the authorities who operate them. And you can bet they do. The system is hackable now, but if we ever start using actual hardware addressing instead of the insanely fragile DNS we use presently, the problem could be sufficiently mitigated.
Not at all. Our last discussion provides plenty of examples, but here it is off topic. But you being such a material girl proves that you are as phony as a three dollar bill when it comes to the subject of religion.
This could bring an end to DNS. Fine by me. The system, like email, is very fragile. But it shouldn't hurt the internet at all. Only the commercial aspect would suffer any real disruption, and even that should be temporary. Just fix a permanent address to every device. And create your own hosts file. Could make spoofing a bit more difficult, and it could make tracking a bit easier for you government bureaucrats out there.
No matter how popular it is, your religion is still a cult, with its idol worship, demagoguery, and other baggage. It's a for profit business. And being the great, discriminating business person you are, you would be amongst the first to call for Christ's death if he was here today. You and your little plastic statues would also be amongst the first he would kick off the steps to the temple. How far up the pyramid do you think you are?
It's the religion that makes Easter and Christmas popular...
It's the children that makes Easter and Christmas popular. It is for them that they exist at all. Well, actually it's for the people that sell to the children. Marketing genius.
The solstice has nothing of the sort going for it.
Okay Sure Whatever you say
Oh, and thanks for the marketing tip. I shall be a billionaire tomorrow if I follow your advice. NOT!
You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout I'm telling you why...
Hang on, didn't you say just the other day that copyright should be abolished entirely?
Yep. You do have a short memory, don't you? I will grant that I said it last year.
Now you're saying 10-15 years is okay?
Nope.
You seem to have trouble with comprehension. Here, I'll repost it for you to save you the trouble of having to look for it.
I figure 10-15 years for most things.
Precisely the way the people who conceived the idea figured it.
The first sentence was from the GP. My statement follows. Can you tell me where I say it's okay? If it had stayed that way, most likely you would have never heard a word from me on the matter. But, like most people, you give them anything, and they want it all. So now it's time to remove all privileges. They obviously can't handle them as you would expect a normal adult to. And like spoiled little brats, they scream and cry when their toys are taken away.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, given your embarrassingly stupid posting history.
Good to see that someone's paying attention. Now you just need to understand what you read, as opposed to just trying to make it conform to your preconceived ideas. You should be embarrassed:-)
Precisely the way the people who conceived the idea figured it. But we handed our government over to big business in a big way. And we certainly can't let Disney characters be endlessly parodied and used in an unsavory manner, which I believe is where the true madness started.
How does the existence of the solstice warrant a national holiday?
Because that's the way Macy's said it should be. Evidently you have no idea of the process of morphing one thing into another, and are unwilling to follow the money... though you will die chasing after it. The solstice has past, Happy Equinox Day! I believe you call it "Easter". Another cultist holiday of national proportions. And let's not forget "Christmas in July" for the summer solstice, or is it the all star break? Religion and sports... sprouting from the same root? Both are big business. Feel free to leave the lights up.
What I'm advocating is the end of exclusivity. You have no exclusive right to a divulged idea (I think that's how he said it), nor to natural resources. And, by the way, the food analogy doesn't work. We can produce more than we can consume, but distribution costs are still quite high, and have to be paid for in some fashion, and it seems we would rather destroy the "surplus" to maintain the price.
Why would you sing that, if you believe in a lack of copyrights you should do just that.
I will, and I did...many times. Same goes for "Happy Birthday..." But copyright gives the cops the authority to kick your door down if the RIAA demands it, and I would rather recover from my hangover in my own warm bed, not some jail cell awaiting a "swift" trial.
On the contrary, the question has been asked and answered. Without copyright, the question, and GPL become moot...nothing more than mental masturbation.
Without copyrights a publisher could take what you wrote and sell it as their own without paying anything for it.
I'm sorry. This is getting too recursive for my weak mind to deal with. Every time I send somebody on a goto to something more descriptive and/or stated in a better manner than I'm capable of, it just loops back. So, again... I shall refer you to somebody with a larger vocabulary and a better grip on language and composition. For now, FOSS, or copyright is not the most important issue of 2008. And it most likely won't come up in any campaign speech from any of the people who present true danger for all of us. It is merely a tiny piece of the big picture. A tool, not the motivator. What I am seeing is that we are going to continue down the same path we have been on since we crawled out from the slime, but from which we have never really ventured very far.
It wasn't meant to be a troll. And I may have confused TCMA with CDMA, but only one of them sets my clock for me, which I consider a vital service, since I use the phone more as a pocket watch than a phone. The whole time thing is a bit of an obsession of mine:-)
Who said anything about selling them? I'm only talking about the exclusivity of distribution. Without that sales is not an issue. You will make money when somebody asks you to produce more of what they like. That's how it works for me, and most everybody else.
GPL? Public domain will insure it stays open and distributable. That doesn't stop you from attaching your name as the creator. In that manner copyright can be useful as a registrar of such things. GPL was created to prevent "normal" copyright from closing it and possibly prevent you from using your own creation. That is something that the present system allows if the other guy files first. Listen, there are many people who say it more eloquently than I can. Feel free to look them up.
That would be plagiarism, something else entirely. Copyright is about distribution, not about who created what. GPL is only necessary due to the existence of copyright law, as pointed many times by many others. Slavery is still slavery. It cannot be "reformed". It must be abolished. And remember to throw some royalties into the RIAA kitty if you plan on singing Aud Lang Syne tonight.
The end of the tyranny of copyright law. Only then will there be true progress. Otherwise, this and everything else will be buried under the dog pile of licensing, which has already begun.
TDMA is less harmful? I actually prefer it because it set the clock automagically. Whoever thought that exposing living tissue to RF is not harmful? It's high tech lead poisoning.

Na-Ga-Da. Wouldn't be prudent. You know where to make to make your case. Let's take it over there. I guess you are chicken :-)
You can't handle the truth
Of you utterly failing to provide any examples to back up your claims, yes.
Not gonna do it here. Feel free to join the party. Or are ya chicken?

Does it come naturally?
No. Unlike you, I have to work at it pretty hard. I am a natural blonde, though. Does that count? Looks like I hit a nerve...
I don't believe I have ever called for the death of anyone, other than mass murderers.
And very selective(discriminating?) you are in that department! And you better stay that way if you don't want to be placed under arrest.
This could bring an end to DNS. Fine by me. The system, like email, is very fragile. But it shouldn't hurt the internet at all.

Here's an easier experiment. Give me the square root of -1.
