The US doesn't fight very often for morality. Usually, it's for oil, control over nearby or foreign resources, or rattle sabres in the back yards of its enemies.
We once ascribed to "ethical" war, via various conventions we signed, but we don't do that anymore. That's because we found a trump card, called the War on Terrorism, which justifies about anything, including draconian domestic surveilence, travel restrictions, no-fly lists, and a wealth of boot heels on civil liberties. Morality only happens once in a while, almost by accident-- as in gosh, look at all of those Muslim Serbs in those mass graves!
For the record, AT&T doesn't control OpenStack, and Rackspace doesn't either--- although interestingly, it's situated *right in the middle of old Southwest Bell* territory.Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Not quite true. There were lots of early leaders using CCD devices to produce still images; some of them went to tape, others to primitive onboard storage. Sony even used a floppy disk drive at one point.
There may be a lot of prior art to some of the claims that invalidate them, but Kodak did do a lot of pioneering research in the area. The usual process is to have the defendents claim that the patents aren't legal, and otherwise them invalidated. Barring that, they'll try to get the complaint squashed on other grounds. Barring that, they'll try to settle for the least painful method, which might include exchanging various "rights" or portfolios of "rights" which allows Kodak to use the defendents property. In the worst case, there's a hideous judgment, which will then be appealed. IANAL, but don't be so sure Kodak invented everything they claim.
Yes. There was Simon Malls instigated litgation, and three Amazon warehouses in Indiana (legal nexus under the US Constitution Commerce Clause) and Simon would win. In this case, Amazon got a two year abatement; otherwise they'd have to close up shop, move their distribution, and eventually have to charge an online sales tax that's being instigated in the US Congress. Amazon wins, temporarily.
There is the reality of how Sun licensed Java, and how Oracle interprets it. Oracle is not about making friends, they're about making revenue, and piles of it.
Their battle with Google is just one front, and just the first wave of litigation if they're successful. There's a big piece of pie out there, and Oracle want's their slice.
It's difficult to say these days, in this mad race to the bottom. Both sides take a lot of money from business interests that are counter to popular opinion. Take SOPA (please) as an example.
The almighty campaign contribution, rather than sentiment among the voters of one's jurisdiction seems to rule these days. There are some marquee social issues, but those are red herrings to the real problems-- like the advance of global weather change, uproarious pollution, hundreds of thousands of deaths in Middle East politics, slavery to petroleum products, and on, and on, and on.
I would want to say otherwise, as I was brought believing the party line of one particular party, but these days, it's all about the short-term money, and very little about thinking, planning, and future obligations.
We were all born to die. That there is a decline is no mystery, not the age. Some people continue mental fitness, while others screw off on slashdot. Oh, wait...
Saying this doesn't make it so, and it has nothing to do with self-centered sociopaths. There are many legal theories of information ownership, and they're time tested, and in some cases, needed. Your "coincidences" suggestion summarily dismisses any argument. You should go into politics.
You might be surprised. I find the more that civil liberties are approached in a way, other negatives between people seem to melt away. We've become habitual defenders, and we shouldn't have to be that way... although diligence is the price of liberty.
Control is about success. Dividing opinion as deeply as possible allows control. Right now, various factions are becoming really good at driving wedges. One day we'll figure out how to cut through the crap, but that just leaves finding binding forces. Then something new forms.
The 9/11 disaster was great at uniting people, but GB2 was able to squander any benefit. For some, an enemy is required, just after coffee. Without one, they're lost, and can't imagine not having one.
Oddly enough, the Republican county chairman here registered to vote in the Demo primary so that he could contribute to a movement to disrupt the Demo machine in this county.
It goes both ways.
Rush, however, is just a poor white boy gone bad, now so drunken with the power in his own mind that he babbles any old shit he wants to. I'll fight for his right to babble that shit. But it doesn't change the scent of it.
Think about what you've said. Generally, both parties want to control you. You are the sheep; they are the shepherd. Some have more evangelical (not necessarily related to religious) behavior, but the intent is the same: you're schlub, and you need control, you heathen you. Now take it like a man.
There is a great deal of fear permeating US politics at the moment, and that's why civil liberty is at its worst in my long lifetime. Al Qaeda won: the TSA is the new Gestapo. This post, and all my email and all my phone calls are digested by NSA data vacuum cleaners. I'm not making this up. And I'm not a paranoid schizophrenic maniac; I'm a pretty rational guy. It has a small amount to do with the fear of who's financing government-- the 1% you cite.
Both parties want to look like world-saving heros out of some made-for-tv script. In the wake, they do really insane things in the name of governmental protection. They have to be fought or shamed. Because sociopaths know no shame, it's generally a fight. But without diligence, you'd be a slave in a heartbeat.
There are numerous instances where civil liberties fly in the face of control freaks. Control freaks have populations in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, etc. They all want to make sure you're living the correct life, according to God's teaching, because of the tribal behavior that's exerted within their life circumstances. Control/power freaks.
I'm not championing the current system. Instead, I defended the tape needed to start a business. In my non-Libertarian world, there is inclusion, not exclusion. Individualism is fine, so long as it isn't a continuing extension of Calvinism. There is a place where civilization mandates interdependency, otherwise, there is no civilization.
With regard to the current system, I'm not a fan of it. Abuse at many levels has made it untenable. Yet my response, if you'll re-read it, has to do with the rubric that businesses don't get started because of red tape. There are reasons for that tape, and good ones. The hoops that one has to jump through are in place not to increase governmental paperwork, but to insure that the rules that are others have to abide by aren't skirted.
Your rigidity in belief doesn't help you consider the differences between concepts like partnerships, limited liability organizations, coops, and so forth.
To those that believe that there is morality legislated, I say instead, that there's inclusion mandated, so that the majority race and religion capitalists don't continue their evil ways.
As regards Amendments #4 & 6, I don't believe that 4 is gone, and the recent legislation affecting #6 is untested and otherwise unlikely to pass constitutional muster.
And a lot of that tape prevents fraud, tax cheats, skirting labor laws, and your screwy idea from polluting the environment, excluding people by race color creed and national origin (and perhaps a few more characteristics, depending on juridiction).
Fie on the weasel words of "red tape" as an impediment to business. If you wanna be a scofflaw, head to the third world, where it's wild and wooly and quite profitable-- but with vasts amount of bribery, decay, pollution, and exclusion.
Using your self as anecdotal evidence is nice in the "testimony era" but is a sample of ---> one.
My "sample of one" was a pack of Camels (no filters) a day for forty-three years. But this isn't about me. This is about statistical success/failure/relapse with cigarettes and caffeinated beverages (most likely, coffee).
Your reply is very focused on you. I'm very focused on the rest of the world in terms of what seems to work, and not. You don't quit fit in the statistical center, but I'm glad it worked for you.
Cold turkey, whether cigarettes or caffiene is murderously stupid. Cutting down a bit at a time works better. Of course you're going to get a physiological reaction. These are great fun stimulants. Sadly, cigarettes are slow death, but the evidence for caffiene isn't compelling. Neither have binging effects, and so are better cut a bit at a time, cigarettes in certainty, and caffiene if it's causing problems.
And they paid tooooo much for it. If you have a little bit of patience, you're going to see more firesales for decent tablets that also hit the wall of reality-- and soon, IMHO.

Fuck 'em.
I strenuously disagree, but it would seem your mind is made up, given your citations.
Civil liberties know no "right" or "left". It's one of the few common causes we have left.
Yeah, none.

Yeah, if ever there was a phish attempt, this is it. Makes me wonder the common sense of those nominating posts like this.
