If they did everything right and the kid does damages, the victim has to sue the kid.
And it will be the parents (or rather the parents insurance) who will pick up the bill. If there is no insurance, it will be the parents who will have to pay. At least that is how it is done in Belgium.
Genetic modification and tailored organisms should be patentable.
We have been doing genetic modification for ages. It is called cross breeding. Should cows be patentable? Roses? Dogs? Mules? That last one changes the DNA and produces a specific non-self-reproducible species.
Just because it is done by somebody with a lab coat does not change it all that much.
Even if you created (new) life I would say there is prior art.
If I don't press my brakes in time to prevent an accident, I risk going to jail for dangerous / careless driving.
If that is your reason for pressing the brakes, then there is something seriously wrong with you. You mean if those were NOT consequences you would not break? Why not say: If I don't press my brakes in time to prevent an accident, I risk hurting people or damage property (be it my own or others).
Mythbusters already covered this.Just take a photocopy and it will work.
When I went to school, we had a class book where teachers would note who was not in. When I was responsible for the classbook, about half of the class once skipped a few lessons. When I was ordered to the principal he asked me if I was absent during those classes. I gave him the book and said stone cold: "My name is not written down in the book, so that must mean I was there."
He went for the logic, not thinking that the book and I where BOTH absent.
They did part of it in the right way. Letting the teacher do the social check and then they went wrong with the technical solution and relied on that.
People are conditioned like Pavlov dogs to press any button several times for it to 'stick'. This works both for computers and for elevators. No sloppy coding (design is something different) with paper.
In Belgium there is an obligation to vote. As we have a multi-party system, the situation is also different then in the US. People are so fed up will all the silliness, many vote at random. This paralyzes politics.
Hypothetically, what if they decide to put them out only in Swahili? Would it not be considered as discrimination against non-Swahili speakers? And if that is the case is an English-only then not discrimination against non-English speakers?
Most likely you will see English and Spanish, but is that not discrimination against all others, like (just to avoid the discussion of if you are not speaking English, get out) http://www.native-languages.org/languages.htm#alpha
I am interested. I live in Belgium where language is the main point politicians keep coming up with to avoid working on solutions. (Much easier to blame the others)
I remember making copies for friends and receiving them as well. Once it was possible, the music industry was not able to sell any more music. Artists went to get real jobs and that is why all music you hear is only done by amateurs. The best you can compare is what VHS did to the film industry. A few obscure independent movie makers is all that you have left.
It is not ridicule. As you just have proven, this is how it works. You pity his children and yet when somebody talks about your children, they should shut up. That is the difficult thing with the 'Think about the children' people.
The first thing that came to your mind was "Think about the children" and that was what you posted about. The next thing was the 'what if' argument. These are standard steps in the 'think about the children' argument, including the now defense of "your children" as if I somehow tried to molest them personally in any way.
I use VirtualBox as well on my openSUSE. Nice thing is that when I install a new openSUSE on the Virtualbox, it will install all extra guest stuff to have everything integrated already with standard installations.
Yes, we are, at least I am. Privacy is perceived different in different countries. Where in the US everything that is not happening in a private place is considered public, a lot of other countries feel that it is not so much the location as it is the person that has a right on privacy.
Doing the right thing is not the same as not doing anything illegal. So just because you can does not mean you must.

Tinkering with them is utilization.
Well, I tinker a lot with (my) DNA. Does that mean I can put a patent on the process of, uh, tinkering?

Asking the question is not being a nerd. He should come up with his own ideas and the tell us what he did. He is not a geek, he is a script kiddie.
Imagine if Linux would have asked Tanenbaum on how to make a good kernel.
So you don't believe in Darwins law?
If we have no security in cars, within a few generations, all people will be able to jump out of the way of cars.

I think this is the right thing to do. And if it is not legal, it should be made into the law.

Tat is something I have been doing with openSUSE since a few years.

And all this because of piracy. Right?

That is what I thought. Since when is it news that people like their own product better then the competition.
Please come back when they say that the competitions product is better.
