If sheeple become people, then maybe 3,000,000 voices in the anti-tax chorus could send resounding message to their government. Or, they should just stop buying the blank media and force the cartel to shift the tax to a hidden tax on another computer-related product, in which case we'd not know which products to stop purchasing, thus losing the "penalization effect" that could be otherwise imposed upon manufacturers to get them to add their voices/pressure to kill the tax.

Maybe because if the pro-Open Source devs don't have to supply the source code, then the hostile/anti-Open Source or certain bottom-feeders will have the chance to claim precedent.

whether you live or die might depend on the strength of the encryption.
Butt... if hit by 256-bit-bullets would that count as 256-bit inscription or 256-bit encryption. If you die, you'll go to the crypt. And if razed, you'll have inscriptions, and they WON'T be the "The lord is my shepherd" variety. And, there WILL be something you shall want: "to be UNshot", DEcrypted...
And, gives a whole new meaning to "bust a cap in yo ass", cuz with any decent encryption, that kind of bullet can have EVERYbody's name on it... In this case, "Shoot the messenger" cuss the messenger's message is in the bullet.
Being SHOT in the ass can be a CRYPTIC pain in the ass.
But, if there are licensing fees to the crypto, being shot would mean the bullets would be expensive as hell. Now, along the lines of Chris Rock, for you to be shot would mean you must have ONE IMPORTANT motherfu*ker to be shot, considering the price of bullets. You wouldn't even need to go to the hospital cuz whoever shot you would come and take their bullet back.
(But, I dare say that HOW they take their bullet back would determine whether you go to outpatient care or straight to the coroner/morgue...)
Looks to me like these sorts of campuses are seeing students images as marketing dollars types of tools. Maybe even the tennis shoe and gym bag and racquets and trunks teams are behind this to make sure their multi-year "donations" are not devalued or undercut by pimps/druggie/murderer/rapist or other students who ruin the "investment" a big company made or makes in universities. Consider: government can sometimes be a patent-co-owner in university inventions...
A violence-oriented patent pre-surrender disclaimer could be something like this:
"Owner of patent hereby sells/surrenders all or some percentage or all of his/her controlling interests in the patentable product invention you already reviewed under non-disclosure and non-compete agreements. You agreed/affirmed/acknowledged that you had not, were not, and did not in the immediate future plan to work on any project or product related to the subject of this transfer/sales/co-sharing documents.
Also, you also agree that you are NOT part of, nor have you BEEN part of, nor do you KNOW OF any patent-trolling/scooping firms which are able to or likely to discover and surreptitiously attempt to gain access to controlling interests or part ownership or total ownership of this subject matter.
Therefore, you agree that if you are found to have polluted, compromised or caused loss of control of this patent to adversarial parties, you will forfeit some SIGNIFICANT aspect of the quality of your life, whether physical, emotional, economic or other ways of making you suffer."
Specifically, if I have anything to sell after creation, I will insert a clause that no microsoft, or any patent-trolling entities may be party to the patenting or sales or controlling interests. If such parties gain access, then their stakes are to be viewed as surreptitious, uninvited, and therefore null and void.
My ideas (if I cannot cheaply and successfully patent them myself and use them as I envision) are to be jointly owned by myself and the forces of open source, INTERNATIONALLY, to ensure that NO ONE country, company, or entity can obtusely hog what I want to see take a foothold. (Yeah, I read somewhere that the US and Japan are the only countries to allow or encourage software patents while most other countries disallow them... my idea is to create a patent that obstructs the ability of anyone else to deny the smaller man/woman developer from advancing my ideas... and ideally, enough inertia would surround my ideas to stay ahead of the larger corps, no matter HOW MUCH money they throw at the problem...)
Call me an asshole, but at least I am not a BIG asshole, compared to some of the others out there who'd prefer to eradicate from the timeline me and those who hold ideas such as mine/ours.
I am thinking one way of doing this is to seek sympathetic parties, maybe 100-500 engineers who donate say $50 to $200 so that the patent attorney team and knowledgeable open source talent can ensure the proper filing and licensing measures are taken so that no one party has enough individual control. No one or no number of named assignees could sell their "stake" to say, ms or some patent trolling scoop-house. The donors would have some measure of financial responsibility oversight via a tracking or token system so they can make sure their donations are used for the purposes of filing and some amount of dev team financing. Any excess donation would go back to the donors, or to open source-friendly orgs that could use some case injection. ---

"The whole NHK isn't so much a tax but a 'voluntary' donation via door knocking. The reason why they don't bother expats is not only the non-english NHK dorr knocking people but because presumably those non-japanese speaking expats wouldn't be watching Japanese TV."
Huhhhhh?
From reading JapanToday, errr, umm, CrissCross news, I gathered that a number of expats who make a living or a life in Japan DO understand enough Japanese and DO become subjects of the "NHK Tax man". These expats then feign ignorance or keep saying in English that they don't understand Japanese. As for "volunteer", I suppose I'd become annoyed at "collectors" repeatedly, determinedly knocking my door more than once every 3 months for a "donation". I suppose I'd prefer to pay Y2000 every few weeks IF I COULD (well, if I go back) view original Japanese content with sensible subtitles that don't include much of the excessive US-exported profanity I've seen there during daytime hours. Maybe they hurl or aim profanity at housewives and the bedridden or couch potatoes?
But, I suppose I'd defer to you since I only spent THREE months there, didn't have a residence in my own name, never had a TV or any service subscriptions.... was just a tourist in a hostel, and shielded from some of the REAL politics of living there, expat or blood/other citizen.
A couple of solutions, at the risk of losing fancy formatting (italics, curly quotes, and so on...), graphics...:
1. Save the sensitive doc as text after "blacking-out" the sensitive in the word processor. This will strip out all the special formatting
2. Do the above, except copy and paste the modified text into a text file
3. Build a "sensitive word" dictionary that flags and highlights the words, then substitute them with objects or "this text removed for reasons of national security...", THEN save the file as other formats as desired prior to releasing.
It's NOT that hard.
Then, hand the body of work over to censors whose job it is to proof the works.
Well, if you're referring to NHK, some expats would just play dumb, pretend they don't know ANY Nihongo. However, that trick is about to fail, since I believe I read that NHK is finally adding ENGLISH to the form so the residents/aliens cannot shirt paying the NHK tax. Hiding or dispensing with an antenna might cut down on the door-knocking... Unless NHK goes cable and then starts sniffing packets or requiring a viewer/client on the recipient side...
Imagine that shitty bob clippy appearing holographically, the user frustrated, and the user commencing to pound the shit out of the desk... Crzggggtttt... Suddenly, you work IS all that it is cracked up to be...
How long b4 we see the "focus factor" (bogus factor?) equiv of this? It might very well be called "Muscle Factor". But, if they somehow connect the rectum or the thigh to the brain, that would be a bridging too far...
Quoting from SJ "Murky: (Mercury for those of you not in the know...) News:
"There were 726 military members discharged under the "don't ask, don't tell" policy during the budget year that ended last Sept. 30. That marked the first year since 2001 that the total had increased. The number of discharges had declined each year since it peaked at 1,227 in 2001, and had fallen to 653 in 2004."
So much for a free, enlightened nation...
Risking eyeballs to replace or extend flyboys to drop bombs on people, but cannot fix the fucked up morality issues that imperil this country.
This has been a long-time fact in many countries, and many people don't give much thought to it:
"Even if you give a cellphone away you will have to obtain and keep the information about the recipient. The Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of Communication-Related Information Amendment Act (Rica) will regulate the lawful interception of certain communication and will oblige sellers of cellphones and SIM cards to keep records of their clients. Internet service providers will also be required to store personal information before entering into a service contract."
But, how many telecoms/phone providers are there in the US which DON'T yet demand a photo ID. With the preponderance of information and databases, is it more a formality to ensure bills get paid, or a way of larger-scheme cross-checking to track down some specific people?
"The act states that before any person sells, or in any manner provides telecommunication services, they must obtain the recipient's full name, identity number, residential and business or postal address as well as a certified photocopy of his or her identity document. Proper records of the information must be kept as well as the number of the cellphone concerned."
"But they weren't made in a lab or bread in a lab to be hypo allergenic friendly."
Well, I just HAD tø take yøu tø task with "bread in a lab"...
