Maybe YOU didn't RTFA, here let me quote it for you...
DRM-buster DVD Jon has a new target in his sights, and it's a big piece of fruit. He has reverse-engineered Apple's Fairplay and is starting to license it to companies who want their media to play on Apple's devices. Instead of breaking the DRM (something he's already done), Jon has replicated it, and wants to license the technology to companies that want their content (music, movies, whatever) to play on Apple devices. This may not be good news for iTunes the store, but it could make the iPod even more popular.
DVD Jon is just providing an altervate means for media compaines to get stuff on the iPod, and is not offering to let other MP3 manufacters the ability to play DRM'd FairPlay songs on an MP3 player other than the iPod.
Currently if I want to get my music on iTunes, I can approach apple with it, and get it DRM'd and then sold on iTunes.
Talk to me when DVD Job offers other MP3 player manufactures that ability to use a FairPlay DRM'd song on there own MP3 player. That is the lock in I would like to eliminate (and apple wants to keep).
One easy way to get around this law is to open up a swiss bank account. Get a debit card through such bank, and then use it at gambling sites, all while in the USA.
When you said Remember I thought you were going to start quoting:
"Remember, Remember, the fifth of November the gun powder treason and plot.
I know of no reason that the gun powder treason should ever be forgot."
Anyone want to dress in Guy Fawkes masks on November 5th and congregate outside Congress?
"The compound developed by BYU is synthetic and the process to create it will be patented."
Seeing that BYU is merely a branch of the Church Education System of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon Church) Can they patent it as a religious institution?
This is gonna get modded to oblivion, but here goes.
As a member of the Executive Branch, Bush can decide what laws he enforces or not. That is the power of the Executive. Much like the police's greatest power comes from choosing what laws they enforce, the same with Bush.
Each branch of government has at least one uber power, the Courts can hold a law unconstitutional, Congress can over ride a veto and pass a law with out the president, and the president can choose what laws he enforce and what laws he does not.
It's all in the checks and balances...
ICANN controls DNS, just like *if*.XXX would have been enacted (though, it wasn't cause it would legitimize porn) they would force every porn company with a.com to switch. Doesn't matter if they are in the US or not.
Same could happen here, with the US in control of ICANN, everyone has to play by the US's rules, no matter if they are in or out of the country.
This would be (one of the reasons) why other countries want DNS to be truly international. I just hope the EU grows some balls and stands up to the US, at the very least Russia, seeing we pissed em off recently and are headed toward a new cold war...
Above and beyond that. The US Supreme Court said that you only have to provide your name to an officer, not a driver's license.
As we understand it, the statute does not require a suspect to give the officer a driver's license or any other document. Provided that the suspect either states his name or communicates it to the officer by other means-a choice, we assume, that the suspect may make-the statute is satisfied and no violation occurs.

Further more, Republican leaders of the committe have offered some minor changes that would allow the FCC a review period of 90 days to review possible net neutrality violations, and fines of up to $500,000 per incident.
Of course the Democrats what more control because they would like to drown buisness in taxes and regulations, look at the obligitory EU to see a sluggish economy (high unemployment) to see how such socialistic princibles behave.
Further more, the congressional republicans said that they don't feel they need to address the problem of net neutrality because, as of yet, it has not come up. (Actually it has, can't remember what telcome (Verizon?) but they where told by the FCC to stop degrading connections to Vonage, but then agian, the new provisions added by the republicans would increase fines for that sort of thing).
you don't GIVE people the receipts, you have them drop it off in a ballot box.
all a computer would do is be a glorified poll taker, the election would be certified from the print out s/receipts/ballots. The TV networks would get there instant election numbers with in x% error (really close to accurate), and the election would be certified off the paper ballots. You wouldn't track the votes at all.
I know in my home state, (illinois) we use punch cards, and the only way you can get a punch card is by going to an election judge giving them your name (some require ID), they look your name up in the book, if there you get a ballot, and can goto a booth. Nothing would change from that angle, the only defference being that the booth would have a computer, and would be able to instently tabulate your vote. Once you are done, the computer prints out a ballot, that allows you to make sure you voted correctly, if you did, then you take the ballot and drop it off in a box.
looking at developed countries birth rates compared to 3rd world country birth rates, the birth rate in developed country is a hellva lot lower then (and in Japans case, negative) then 3rd world countries. so all one needs to reduce birth rate is increase the lifestyle in 3rd world countries, and population will decrease dramaticly, no need for draconian measures that would force people to not reproduce, the market, left alone, will do that.
true, google is in the market of parsing documents (web/email) and returning target ads, but that wouldn't kept another company (or even google) for a fee, to allow you to store data on their servers, encrypted, with a key that only the owner of the information knows. that way, when the FBI/CIA/NSA come knocking at the door with a national security letter, the buisness can give them an encrypted mess. The FBI/CIA/NSA would have to goto the owner of the information to get the key, or spend time cracking the info.

There was more originality and imagination in one episode of Firefly
So, bringing this idea to fruition would mean handing over the "keys" to the star trek series to Joss Whedon...shiny.

Has the U.S. officially recognized Tibet as an illegally occupied country?
Has the U.S. officially recognized that Israel is illegally occupying Palestinian territory, which would include east Jerusalem?
Oh wait, Hamas was democratically chosen to lead the Palestinians? Fuck em!
The absolute best fans can hope for at this point is a straight-to-dvd 2nd season release.
That ain't gonna happen either, Joss has severely dislikes Fox and the probability of him working for them again is close to nil.
