  1. Re:Your morals are not my morals on Sometimes It's OK To Steal My Games · · Score: 1

    Plenty of Amish do carry cell phones. You can see them using the phones working in their fields. Now even more are carrying for business purposes. They aren't necessarily against cell usage. There are other like minded groups more or less stick like the Amish, that may aid in some cases I see. For reference purposes I do live in the of heart of old order Amish territory.

    And why is HPV untreatable? It's a virus and with time they will figure out a way to slow it's reproduction through the population. Some warts are caused by HPV, they can and do clear up after a time.

  3. Re:Obesity? on Should Cities Install Moving Sidewalks? · · Score: 1

    Since driving a vehicle is considered a privilege I doubt they will ever get rid of public transportation. To do so would mean that driving is a right needed for basic survival. To bad we can go back to the days when to steal a mans horse was a death sentence. Doing so robbed a person of their ability to make a living. Hopefully that makes some sense.

    Um no? Try is house analogy.

    I have a model home. I put up a big sign advertising to come check it out. Now I can't complain when people start showing up wanting to see my show home. But when I'm done showing it or no longer want people coming in, I lock the doors.

    Thats how routers work. If you don't like it don't put up a sign saying 'welcome' or a least lock you doors.

    Hopefully this is the better analogy.

    They own that copy- which you as the copyright owner freely gave them by ASKING THEIR E-MAIL SERVER TO MAKE A COPY!

    so if i buy a cd and my only cd player is in my computer, then the copy the gets put into memory is mine?

    or closer to your point. how about i own part of the internet backbone and the riaa transfers music across to it, does that mean i have rights to do what i want. all because they "asked" me to transfer a copy of it?

    not that i'm right, just some random thoughts.

  10. Re:Ignorance of the law is no excuse... on Answers From Lawyers Who Defend Against RIAA Suits · · Score: 1

    i'm really getting tired of "ignorance of the law is no excuse". legislators want to keep compounding more and more laws and expect us to know all of them. i can understand that phrase if we were back in the time of hammurabi (eye for an eye, etc), where the laws were right out in the open for every to see and know. literally "etched in stone"

    i bet most people dealing with law (lawyers, judges, police) don't even know every single one. yet they exepct us to know and understand them all.

    now for sake of arugment and to make a "point". if i lived in a state that followed british common law, i could enter into a common law marrage with a girl of 12 years of age. this is currently being fought in colorado, where a 14 year old girl moved in with a man 20 years her senior. though as soon as the law enforment agencies found out, that guy was in deep shit. yet the officers and the court were "ingnorante of the law" as it currently stands. now if he had tried to marry her though the church or the courts, he would have been denied for not being 18. so there's also two conflicting laws, which presents a problem; and we're the ones who have to know which one is right.

    "...leaves more bandwidth for more interesting things, like VOIP and distributed computing."

    right; like the telcom industry isn't getting a nevous about voip right now. the internet has opened a can of worms that has many establised businesses almost scared shiteless. instead of adapting to the "new medium" they would rather have it legislated away in their favor.

    I'm really wishing Bush never made it into office. It's going to take decades to fix this mess he's caused. To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere in my lifetime the U.S. ends up in another civil war/rebellion at the rate we're going.

    if mr. bush causes a civil, he might be the best president we've had in a long time. there's too much intrenched power. it's our right and obligation to overthrow a curpt goverment.
