That includes medicines, although some leftist environmentalists sound like they're actually endorsing shorter lifespans and global die-offs
You should not be mistaken many environmentalist groups are riddled with members who support such ideas. Infact it might seem new but this point of view has been around from the start of the environmental movement if not before and thats going back almost a hundred years. Do a little research on the subject and you will be suprised at what you will find.
Just look at what happened with the Sierra Club.
Their membership for voting in leaders is around 6-8% and many of these people have sized positions of power within the Sierra Club because of low turnout of ballots. They almost took over the national office this year and might take it over the next.
I would not call them leftwingers, rightwingers or liberals but they are a hardcore of crazies who do exist and should be watched out for if you are a member of an environmentalist group(s).
The court system in Europe is very weak compaired to other parts of the government and has always been so. They do pretty much what the party in power wants them to do with few exceptions. Here in the United States that is different the courts have far more power and once in place a Judge has less pressure on them then his/her counterparts in europe. We still have to deal with politcal morons on the bench but they never make it far as judges have been pretty good at overturning stupid decisions.
Refineries have not been built in this country for over 25 years. How can they be forced to compete if they cannot be built? It does not matter if it is under patent or not if this works then they will be building more of them and licencing out to other companies to build their own. However they really can be screwed if OPEC opens up production for a year or so to crush this new industry. Opec already did this to the Soviet Union they can do it to these companies.
What the hell are you talking about? Most of the rural poor are farmers and have enough to eat what they do not have is enough to sell because their plots of land are extremely small. Like most third world/developing nations the problem is switching over from farming to industry or the service sector. Yes you might find someone going hungry but they will be in the cities not the rural areas.
Oh calm your nuts regardless of what you read on slashdot France has a better image among Americans then most of the world. I would not take a few of the dummies in congress or run down bars that dump cheap french booze as a baromiter of American anger.
The reason why there is not enough emphasis on prior art here in the states is because it is not done via the patent office. If prior art exists then the patent is invalid end of story. This is done via the court system not the patent office.
We have two very large land borders. One with Canada the other with Mexico. We cannot secure borders that wide even if we used the military as we will always have backwoods gaps in them. I am not even going to get into the fact that we have millions if not billions of tons comeing in across both oceans.
Pick another topic to complain about because complaining about so called open borders is insane.
Says who? It's no law of nature. You certainly don't have the best public healthcare, and the overall quality of life indexes are highest in the Nordic countries. And don't get me started on the quality of the USA's polical processes.
When nordic nations state owned oil companies run out of oil to drill and sell we will see how long you have that "free" healthcare.:)
How does that relate? The HOPE conference is not a huge warez trading fest. It's focus is (theoretically) technology and exploration
Well in reality its more about wacko leftwing politics then technology and exploration. I went twice and both times it sucked. The worst was that turd jello whatever the fuck talking about computers and the internet yet he never owned one.
If your going to learn about technology you will be bored to death.
I don't know maybe the PDA is a better middle market device to test this concept out first. A bad run with cell phones and they might just get a nasty taste of the public's anger.
Not everyone is so willing to forgive and forget as the/. crowd with a next gen improvment.
The gaming industry has been working on defeating piracy in a different way then the folks at the MPAA. Have you not noticed all the FPS games now have internet play thru WON or in house browsers? Their job is to weed out piraters over the net. Its not the best way to do it but its a hell of a lot better then sueing your consumers into outright fear. Pretty soon all games will have some sort of internet feature even ones that you think would not need any.
It will not stop single players but it will give casual pirates a nice reason to buy the game. An add on to all this is a constantly better way to deal with cheaters as well.
I believe that as the market for games matures we will see companies act more like major Hollywood studios. With large media empires doing most of the work and a small core of big companies but not connected ones publishing the gems. In the same way that Miramax was considered indi before Disney bought it.
Valve's software Steam look likes it will be the first real attempt by publishers to sell their products themselfs. I wonder how other publishers will react to this? Will they get on board with Steam if they can get it to work correctly? If so they can really take a bite out of the Wal-Marts of the world.
They still will have to sell their games in stores and it might get tricky with the large chains they might even refuse to give publishers access to their shelfs.
It depends on what areas of the Directory you want to be part of. In the porn ( or other popular sections ) most of the MODs know each other and have been part of the project from the start and only let those in who will help them rank their own pages. This was a problem a year or so ago. I have no idea if they cleaned these people out but it was talked about on quite a few fourms.
DMOZ is still going to be popular however Google and soon Yahoo and maybe MSN pretty much made its teams of admins and mods seem less important. Most will still try to climb it but the system just lost its appeal. DMOZ is now just another good feature of the Google site not a unique project like it once was. I hope Google keeps it humming.
That is not going to happen. Most channels like Comedy Central will not be sold as one shot deals. You might like it but its not a very popular channel compaired to TBS and USA. Those will be the channels that are sold like that because they are the most popular if at all.
A bill like this will be punted around in Congress for a few years if it even gets to the president's desk. Do not underestamte the cable industry.
Most game companies are too busy developing their own products to make a very small profit off of MODs. Look what happened to Counter Strike. Once it became popular Valve gave them a little scratch to keep everyone happy.
That will be the model not companies working hand and hand with independent developers that may not produce anything anyway. At the end of the day they do not have to work with anyone because it is their product not the publics. The guys at Counter Strike got lucky if Valve was EA they might not have even gotten anything let alone enough to pay for college debt free.
Goose seems to think that was a dam good deal and I have to agree with him.
I used to go to pricewatch to buy goods but too many times some of the stores they have look like they are going to close shop tomarrow. The problem is over time I would not be suprised if we get more shitty webstores posting dirt cheap prices with no items in stock or very few. Yesterday I got myself a new View Sonic monitor from Froogle and it was quite an easy buy for a decent price. They better watch the ADs they sell somehow otherwise it will become quite useless.
Nope thats around 2012.
I can't wait for another round of crank up radios and flash frozen foodstuff infomericals on late night radio! God bless Art Bell!

Remember that 1.9 could go to thru the roof when all the new muslems from North Africa start having 3.0 children per year. Spend some time in Europe's working class neighborhoods and you will see what I mean. We need a good plague in some nations to keep these numbers down.
I hope so also but the fact is too often we see neet hacks and not enough time spent on making the orginal product better. For $299.00 its a nice price but the company looks pretty small and they are new so I hope they make it. With their third product we should know what type of shape they are in.
When the new i-pod was released most here at slashdot thought it was a huge goof on apple's part. Slashdot is not the oracle that you make it out to be.

Not really most people want something that is easy first cheap second. They won't give a crap about vonage if their isp has the same service.

When do hospitals in the U.S. turn you away? It seems like someone has been reading too many michael moore books. Please step back to reality.

That is because they are not cheap, easy to manufacture and dense enough compaired to investing in our current hard disk drives.
