Not likely. What it would take is a strong Judicial branch that actually believed in enforcing the Constitution because as it stands right now the law forbidding the use of a work to comment on what the work is promoting is unconstitutional.
It specifically says in the Constitution that the authority not granted to the federal level is the granted to the States or local level. Please explain to me where the Constitution grants the federal government the right to enact Federal Copyright laws that run contrary to the First Amendment freedom of speech and the press protections?
I worry more. Apparently people think companies are NOT upstanding when they have no evidence whatsoever to support that. I for one have used GoDaddy for domains and hosting for three years and had no problems and found their customer service to be excellent in the one time I had to call them to upgrade MySQL versions.
The assumption that GoDaddy is horrible and has horrible service is false. People make this assumption because they use sex to sell and they have low prices. People assume these two combination also mean poor service and complete incompetence. This could not be further from the truth. Ask ANY technically minded person who has given GoDaddy a chance and they will tell you about the value of their inexpensive services and domain names. I have personally used them for 3 years running to host my website http://www.shezphoto.com/ with wordpress. I use their shared hosting economy plan which is like $3 a month if you pay for a year and I have had to call technical support to fix a problem zero times. I did call them one time to figure out how to migrate my WP database to the new version of MySQL and they emailed me explicit directions and they worked perfectly. Yes I installed using the "One click install" but I also have since then kept my WP install up to date and I have strong passwords on my admin accounts and my ftp and databases as well. You will notice I was not hacked.
I also bought my domain name through them. I challenge all of you to find me a more reliable company who charges the same amount as GoDaddy for domain names. Plus GoDaddy isn't evil like Network Solutions is. NS will put a lock on a domain name you view through their website so you cannot then purchase it through another vendor for less. GoDaddy never does this. GoDaddy may try to up sell you but you can easily choose to ignore all of that and then you get a domain name for less then anywhere else that is purchased through a reputable and honest company.
Why people trash GoDaddy all the time without ever having used them is beyond me. It's just childish. It's like saying "Eww Girls" because you find out they don't have penises. It's ok Slashdot... you can get over your fear of the unknown.
Why is your post channeling Saul Alinsky? You still didn't refute anything and you also tried to make fun of the poster and put him down ( Ad Hominem) as much as possible so that anybody reading this thread would feel childish for supporting him. You sir are the troll!
It's not conspiracy. It's pervasive culture. Repeat something often enough and anybody will believe it. Money doesn't have to change hands. This has been happening much longer then you can possibly imagine.
First off define pollution. I'm all for stopping pollution but since when is CO2 a pollutant? I guess I'm guilty of polluting then. I better stop breathing. Your wildly inaccurate statements start with your careful choice of words to paint a nice little fence around the issue and then proceed to Napalm the crap out of it! The problem is you drew the fence completely in the wrong place. We are not talking about pollution. We are talking about CO2. IF (and that's a big if) CO2 has anything at all to do with global warming, do you know the best way to solve the problem? Sulphur dioxide particles! You put them in the atmosphere high up enough where they will stay for a good long while and they deflect a portion of the suns rays before they can warm up the earth. Will you ever see a proponent of the AGW theory support this plan? Maybe because Obama is pushing it now but I doubt any of the climate scientists will jump on the bandwagon.
Secondly your fanatical attack on corporations is completely and totally misdirected. First off you talk in generalities about "a bunch of greedy, sociopathic corporations". You refuse to name names. Why? Is it because you know in the back of your mind the truth that people work at these companies. People who will be put out of a job if legislation goes through which does not balance the importance of the environment with the importance of the economy. You know why else? If alternatives are forced down our throats before they are ready then you know who's pocket book will be hurting? YOURS! That's right! You will have to pay more for EVERYTHING! So before you go off and attack corporations for being evil, think for a second about the actual PEOPLE and not just this object you made in your mind.
With all that said, we for sure should move completely away from fossil fuel as fast as humanly possible except for different reasons. First we will not be dependent on unstable countries who hate us for our fuel. Second, we will ensure a safe a stable source of energy for the future generations. Lastly we will cut down on REAL pollution like particulate, noxious gasses, and carbon monoxide. Who wouldn't want that? What we don't want is the false war against CO2 which sustains all plant life and help plants be more drought resistant. Why would anybody want that?
Why is this so difficult? Repeat after me "I will not post anything to the Internet that I do not want the whole world to know". And also "I will not trust a third party company to keep my data private ever even if they pinky swear to it". Then if you don't post things you do not want revealed then when the company (facebook in this case) makes the data public or gets hacked then nothing of value will be lost.
I also don't understand people who have facebook pages set all to private. What is the point of that. If you want to send information to a small group of people then set up a mailing list. Why you would use facebook for that purpose is completely beyond me. Instead tap into the fantastic intrinsic value that facebook has in building a brand identity and value for YOUR name. Post things that will make future employers, future lovers and your parents proud. Then you'll have nothing to hide because what you want hidden you never posted in the first place.
My first computer was a Compaq Presario with a Pentium 75 processor and a 650 Megabyte hard drive. It came with Windows 3.1x (not sure the exact version) but it came out the same year Windows 95 was released because I only used that operating system for a short amount of time.
What I remember distinctly is that Compaq included this program which had a tabbed interface for organizing your applications which when I upgraded the Windows 95 the "Start Menu" felt like a downgrade.
Exactly! The same tactic that defeats Phishing emails also works for Vishing or any other type of social engineering in the direction of the company to the consumer. It however doesn't fix the problem of when the customer (or someone pretending to be them) calls the company.
Two things. One is I seriously would like to propose to any Senator or Congress person listening that we need to mandate a way to OPT-OUT of receiving phone books. Basically the local phone company (which I am not a customer) is using phone books as an excuse to dump refuse on my porch. Mine is still there after three months. My plan is to leave it there a year and when the next douchebag comes to drop off a new one maybe he/she will take a hint.
The second is that people eat bunny rabbits all the time. In fact you can gift a trio of bunnies through Heifer International. They have a catalog of all kinds of animals you can gift. Most get eaten. Some produce materials like wool or milk. People in undeveloped countries live off of these things.
Would this still hold true in an Automatic vehicle (accounting for most vehicles on the road) since it has a torque converter and also if the engine is out of gas would it function in the same manner? I don't know since I've never run out of gas. It was my understanding that the power steering in most vehicles relied on a vacuum pump which derived it's power directly from the engine. I don't know the answer to these questions so I'm just asking.
Wow, that's messed up. I mean truly evil! I mean how can they think they can get away with it. I retract everything I ever said about Apple. It's not just their snobby users I can't stand; I also hate the company itself!
These people MASSACRED the persians, and took their land, and killed or enslaved anyone living on it. The same is true of just about any muslim state, with the notable exception of Indonesia (though neighboring malaysia is certainly not an exception).
Honestly, read history. There isn't a single country around the globe, with the exception of Indonesia, where muslims are the natives. Not a single one.
Just so you know : the natives of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia are the berbers. The natives of Egypt are, well, Egyptians, massacred by the muslims in the first wars, and now all but replaced. The peoples of the gulf were always a mix of different nationalities, living in tribes, massacred by a single tribe during the start of islam. The inhabitants of Jordan, Syria, Iraq... were Greeks, Romans, Persians and Hindus (western peoples) before the muslims slaugthered them. The inhabitants of Iran were the Persians, these were slowly killed over a few hundred years by muslim "immigrants". Pakistan and Bangladesh were inhabited by Hindus before the massive slaughter of the islamic mongol empires started. All were exterminated, either by direct genocides, like the islamic prophet did, or by slow attacks during "peaceful immigration" like happened in Iran.
The muslims, or the arabs, whatever you call them started out as a small tribe stealing from caravans between Damascus, Medina and Mecca. Christian and Jewish cities all. In Mecca there was a strong "pagan" presence, a polytheist religion centered around the moon god "allah" (only one mark in his name in Arameic) (the symbol for islam is still the moon phase). He had 3 beautiful daughters, of which all but a few statues are destroyed. In the initial war to start islam, over 12000 people were killed. A number that would rise to 100 million before 100 years would pass.
You use google some time! People are all up in a huff over Bush's policy since over-turned that we should not start new stem cell lines from new embryos. They actually do think it is making the lame walk by now funding the destruction of more embryos. Plus this harryandthehenderson guy obviously thinks embryonic stem cell research is the greatest thing since sliced bread and really he should be shut down because his argument has no basis.
"This is significant because it's the first clinical trial of a human embryonic-based product."
From that single line in the fucking article YOU posted you can find out that not only is this the FIRST approved research using Embryonic Stem Cells but in addition it is just research and NOT a breakthrough. Way too many people are way the fuck too stuck in their ideology to see the actual reality of the world around them.
Perhaps you didn't hear about "gaming for windows" which really meant "gaming for Vista" and how they didn't permit Direct X 10 to work on XP for no reason other then to sell more copies of Vista?
Slashdot Mirror
I mean "lose". Bad form, I know.
Yep. I love faith in Slashdot's ability to promote independent thought every time I read an article like this and the comments it gets.
Not likely. What it would take is a strong Judicial branch that actually believed in enforcing the Constitution because as it stands right now the law forbidding the use of a work to comment on what the work is promoting is unconstitutional.

If you want it private then direct message them for their email address and then email them. Then only do it if you trust them.

Not really. That's what PAT is for. Just route each port of a single IP address to the server or virtual server which is serving up that service.
Why is this so difficult? Repeat after me "I will not post anything to the Internet that I do not want the whole world to know". And also "I will not trust a third party company to keep my data private ever even if they pinky swear to it".

Not to be cheeky or anything but I'm pretty sure your sales were also in the "real world".

I don't know if you forgot but there ARE other countries in the world besides the United States of America. Your explanation makes no sense.
It was in RATS! And they had to inject them within 7 DAYS of the injury!
