Oh they won't fire him for signing it. They'll tell him not to worry about it and then 6 months later he'll be fired along with everyone else who refused to sign it for some unrelated matter. And because most of America has at-will employment he'll be fine unless he can prove they fired him for being black or catholic.
They're the Canadian [b]Recording[/b] Industry Association. In other words they're the Canadian version of the RIAA. The RIAA don't go after people for pirating movies, that's the MPAA.
On the other this is a bad precedent, they are essentially saying that "if you can't beat them, ignore them". You mean like the precedent set when prohibition was abolished?
How could the CRIA have a leg to stand on in shutting down demonoid when downloading music without permission from the copyright holder is legal in Canada?
the Piaggio Ape [wikipedia.org]. That's what I think you saw in Italy That's it! I could have sworn I saw some bike handle ones, but I must be mistaken.
If you want all the illegal immigrants to be kicked out of the country then the rich folk need a new lower class. As such, people who would have gone on to become scientists and doctors will now be cleaning shit for the rich. Its simply a price you must pay for freedom.
You're a cut and runner huh? I think Bush will give you a free vacation to Cuba. Don't worry, you'll get free board, food (except when its withheld), water (except when its withheld) and medical care (trust me, you'll need it).
I know a lot of Australians who download content illegally simply because it isn't available any other way at the time (if we want to wait 12 months we might get it then). The telivision channels have begun combating this by showing shows within a fortnight after America, but its still not the norm.
I'm free to buy a Sony tv or a Panasonic or even a Sonnee tv if it tickles my fancy and still receive the television. That is not the same situation as releasing a television show under one particular OS.
NOTE: I'm not saying that Windows is necessary to view the NBC videos. I'm simply questioning the AC's reasoning.
But perhaps that not your fault, and your just a product of your grandfather and father being the one and the same person.
Your welcome. Goddamnit! Would people stop traveling back in time and giving birth to themselves already? It was funny in the 80s, it was cool in the 90s. But its downright dangerous and you risk collapsing the entire universe everytime you do it! Enough already!
It may be IE independent for streaming, but its certainly America-dependent for viewing. That's okay the only NBC show I watch is heroes and we're getting that 2 weeks after America anyway.
You're post while hyperbolic, isn't too far off the mark. You talk about dishwashers and the idea of sharing them with other people, but what about laundromats? Isn't that basically your idea except with clothing instead of dishes? Some ideas that don't work when it comes to sharing: * Houses - most people like to be in a house at roughly the same time (i.e. at night when they're sleeping) so they're going to all need to be "unfolded" (or inhabited for a more realistic option) by everyone at a particular time of day. * Dishwashers - Most people will use these at the same time of day (around 7:00-8:00 pm).
Some ideas they do work with: * Laundries - There's no set time that most people will use these. * Toilets - In ancient London (i.e. 1940s) these were communal and shared by a block of flats. Although most people would prefer to pay more and get a clean toilet (males will know why. Is it so hard to piss into the bowl?!?!?!?)
A more realistic option with cars would be to take away the foldable part and simply have car pick-up places spread throughout cities with cars able to be driven from one point to any point in America (you simply have to say how long you plan on taking it for and pay for it. There'd be a grace period and you'd also have the ability to phone ahead). Each car would be cleaned before the next person used it so if you left anything behind they'd put it aside for you. There'd also be a complimentary bus to take you to and from your home. If you drove a LOT within a typical day this would be more expensive, but for many it would turn out to be cheaper (there'd be a threshold where one hour you break even, the next its more expensive).
I believe there is another idea with some communities that do have communal cars, but from the lack of widespread news on them I'm guessing the idea hasn't caught on.
Personally the idea of communal cars doesn't exactly excite me. Considering how clean trains and movie theatres are, I'd rather stick with a car I own.

I couldn't find any pics, but by your description Europe is filled with such cars. Sometimes the European "cars" even have bike handles used to steer them with. I don't know how safe they are, but they're certainly prevalent in Europe where space is at a premium (I'm sure they have a nice price tag that doesn't hurt either).
Anytime there is a war in a major oil producing country the price of oil spikes. This really does not benefit us at all. You assume what's good for us is good for the engineers behind the war. The oil costs do not rise, merely the prices, this is of great benefit to those who make their fortune in oil, such as George Bush. Haliburton on the other hand been given quite a help from one of the other engineers behind the war. No, the war most definitely does benefit those who engineered it.
When we send troops we get yelled at for being heavy handed Bush had my support in Afghanistan he lost it in Iraq. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to realize why Bush lost my support.
Except Iraq proves you're not sitting it out and are instead rushing in to claim the 20th century's gold. I'm sure many throughout the world would be quite happy if you didn't lie yourself into another oil grab.
I say we pay any company that doesn't want to be regulated and commit to net neutrality can pull out now at no cost. The amount of money invested into providing internet service for the public will be tallied and then all cuts and grants given to the company for the purpose of providing internet services will be subtracted from that tally, along with any profits the company gained through providing internet services to the public. If the final number is above 0 then that means the company hasn't made a net profit and so the government will give them the balance, otherwise they get to walk away with a bit of extra coin in their pocket. Then the government can either run the internet itself or give it to a private company that will follow a few simple rules. I'm sure there are many companies that would leap at the chance to get their hands on all of that cabling.
Imagine being given access to public land for the benefit of the public, and the public then getting told that this company was going to now perform extortion because of the trust they were given.
Personally I'd support those people more as they seem to be working to get around some DRM whereas this guy is simply adding functionality to a crippled program. Of the two I'd say DRM is worse then releasing programs that have had functions removed.
Copyright licenses are not EULAs. The only thing this person could have possibly broken is a EULA. As such saying he should be allowed to break does not equate with being able to break copyright licenses, unless you believe all laws are equally right. I believe many black people and homosexuals would disagree with you on that point.
If they're so concerned about their children's virgin ears they shouldn't allow their children to watch live events and should tape them so they can watch them later before showing their child.

Why do you want a logo for J Edgar Hoover and his ilk? For that matter why do they even get a holiday?
I'd probably do a severed arm. Remind people the real cost of becoming a veteran.

I beg to differ. I was there only 4 years ago and saw plenty around the leaning tower of pisa (I saw them elsewhere, but definitely saw them there).
