This isn't about fairness - failure to abide by WTO judgments certainly represents treaty violation and, by definition, infringes upon international law. Oh NOES! Anything but international law violations, what is Hans Blix going to write a sternly worded letter now? Sarcasm off, international law without an effective enforcement mechanism is little more than a helpful suggestion.
Sorry, but yeah, good show, but it'd be better without the commentator being a completely over-zealous tit". + Jeremy Clarkson was okay in the first series, does not compute.
Sorry to break it to you, but universities existed long before there were governments to fund them. Bzzt. Wrong, try again, unless you are refering to the University of Og, where everyone goes to learn how to make fire and the wheel. I hear they also offered mastodon slaying as an elective.
Aside all politics, and just from a completely practical point of view:...Aside all politics this is a non-story. Mostly just the sound and the fury to drive page views and ad revenue. Newsflash registering a domain name to do something that would be illegal in a coutry is a bad idea. So don't register your pr0n domains in Indonesia, don't register naziartifacts4sale.com in France, etc.
Not yet but American auto manufacturers are on life support. GM used to be huge. GM also used to make cars people wanted to buy not just rehashed crap.
It doesn't matter that the owner has more, even if there are infinitely many more. You aren't punished because someone has lost something; you're punished because you have committed a transgression against someone. We don't care, as a legal matter, whether you took a dollar from a dishwasher or from Donald Trump, who'd never even know it was gone. It's something that is legitimately and legally for sale, which you acquired without paying for. You have stolen. Actually, you are only half right. You are correct in your assertion about that "the law" doesn't care about who you steal from; however, the law does care about the value of what you stole. Stealing one dollar is a treated far differently than stealing 10,000 dollars. So if the owner has infinitely many more how can the loss of one be viewed as a massive theft? Now, if you play the every theft = lost sale game, we'll just have to agree to disagree
So you're recommending the cops seek a warrant in bad faith, to catch "real" criminals. Have you also thought about attaching magnets to the corpses of the founding fathers to generate electricity?
If you haven't guessed, my experiences have led me to have a (very obvious) low opinion of most women. [tongue in cheek]Lemme guess, not enough sex?[/tongue in cheek]
Sorry but the veto is oversight on the operations of the legislative branch, since the legislative branch passes legislation which the executive can veto. BTW you should do something about that snark, It's starting to make you look like a dick.
In addition to separation of powers, the constitution confers on Congress both the authority and the *duty* to conduct oversight on the operations of the executive. The executive has no comparable duty with respect to Congress. *cough* Veto *cough*.
Wow, +5 insightful for parroting a left biased "news man" bashing a right biased network with childish name calling. Talk about a lack of proper moderation.
Also, in the upcoming Force Unleashed game, you play as a female sith. Umm, no according to The Wookieepedia the main char is a Human Male done by the guy who played LT in the first season of Battlestar Galactica. Anyways, during the previous cartoon network Clone Wars, there was Sidious, Tyranus, and the chick who tries to kill Anakin, so they apparently don't hold fast to the two and only two rule.
The first amendment simply restricts certain actions of Congress. Yes, and the 14th amendment states "privileges or immunities". So with the text of the 1st amendment stating, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech," The part in bold is one of those pesky privileges that states cannot pass a law to abridge. It doesn't get anymore strict constructionist than that. Unless, there's a different part of the US Constituiton labeled priviledges and immunities, and you believe that using a strict constructionist view the states are free to assign titles of nobility and pass ex post facto laws as well.
WTF? Why should any country care about any other county's laws? Not sure if this was rhetorical or not, but there may be treaty obligations that Canada is subject to, and the lobbyistsrepresenting the media cartels are trying to lock-in US style protection to all applicable treaty signers. Or more likely the greedy bastards are trying to get away with what ever someone will let them.
So, to apply the freedom of speech clause to students in a public high school, one has to interpret the Constitution to apply the First Amendment to states (essentially expanding "Congress" to "state legislatures") and further interpret it to apply to the acts of unelected civil servants (teachers and principals). That's what happens when you ratify the Constitution, you agree to the limitations set forth. As for the unelected civil servants, like cops?
Btw, what part of No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; Implies that States don't have to abide by 1st amendment?
It is entirely possible one of three things was occuring while you were in High School. (1) The kids in high school were asshats, and the Jewish thing was easy to make fun of. (2) You were an asshat in high school, and your fellow students chose a poor method of applying peer pressure to reduce your asshatness. (3) Some neonazi asshats at your school actually meant you real harm and were just working their way towards it by advertising well in advance.
Of the 3 the last one seems the least probable, so instead of looking over your shoulder, I'd buckle up for safety.
BUT this is where defense-in-depth comes in. Security is NOT A PRODUCT. It is a mindset. Actually, it's a cost item that gets in the way of the money making work. That is how most people view it.
The fact is that having a well educated workforce does benefit the state of Washington. It means a workforce that makes more money (= state income tax), spends more money (= sales tax), and gets more expensive houses (= property taxes). This is true, and pays the state of Washington for the costs of educating the children who grew up to work in Microsoft, regardless of how Microsoft runs its business. Now, I am not a fan of taxes by any means, but I dislike free riders even more. Using your logic, it would be ok for all of Mircosoft's employees to declare themselve personal corporations in the state of Nevada, and then claim their wages as revenue of such a corporation. Since hey, what's good for an employer should be good for an employee right? Perhaps an intellectual property tax might help pay for all the court time and ambassador's salaries for protecting all the US IP.
"The New York Times, in the meantime, has accused Google of a Microsoft fixation."
Just this quote from Ballmer alone would put most companies on defcon 5. I wouldnt call it a fixation as much as a normal healthy reflex when someone attacks you.
"I'm going to f--ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to f--ing kill Google,"
Not to pick nits, but this misuse of DEFCON, along with ATM Machine and PIN Number, really grinds my gears. DEFCON 5 is peace -> DEFCON 1 maximum readiness. Read more here
I can't go a day without hearing a Ron Paul supporter, for example, inventing from whole cloth some magical constitutional requirement for this or that. (All while inexplicably shouting "THE CONSTITUTION!") You do realize that the people of govt. and our military swear an oath to defend the constitution. So it's not a RFC or some general guideline, it's the foundation for the entirety of our government.
Bats are completely dependent on mosquitoes and, despite their image in movies, are vital to the health of many niches: rain, deciduous and coniferous forests all benefit from bat populations. Yeah, and the histoplasmosisis fun to get as well.
18th amendment was obviously wrong and thus repealed but yet another law, the 2nd amendment simply cannot be questioned. See the 18th amendment prohibts people from doing stuff, namely "manufacture, sale, or transportation of liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited. " Where as the 2nd amendment prohibts govt. from doing stuff. In the long history of governments typically the people aren't the ones whose power must be kept in check. That's why 2nd == Good, and 18th != good. Since the intentions of those mortal were written down in the federalist papers, there isn't any honest debate, about their intentions, now the debate lies in whether those opinions are still relevant in the modern world.
That's life for the gutless slaves who refuse to stand up and organise and fight these fascist moterfuckers back. Why computer workers haven't properly organised with a union is something I still don't understand. If you work for someone else: YOU'RE A SLAVE. So ORGANISE! If you employ others, you're a SLAVE OWNER so EXPECT ORGANISATION. Why would I trade one tyrant, my boss, for another, the union leadership? If I don't like my boss, I can work somewhere else, with a union I am a slave to the whims of the slobbering horde. That sounds like a good plan.
