Unless people can possess and examine the malicious code, they can't find ways to block or otherwise deal with it. It's awfully hard to fight something you can't see.
Normally, that would prevent it from being applied in this situation...But I don't think the "only for illegal purposes" counts when dealing with software or code.
Sad, but not far from the truth. Breast-feeding is often looked down upon by "Modern Women"... As is taking care of your child in its infancy or leaving it with a relative, instead of dropping it off at a day care with fifty others.
In that case the only distinguishing factor, other than physical form, would be superior sophistication of thought (when compared to other known organisms).
That would leave two possible definitions of when the mass of cells becomes "human". Either upon conception, because it will reach the "human" level of thought unless damaged, or at the time when it reaches that level, which could end up being quite some time after birth.
I'd think it would be when brain waves begin...I can't imagine how something that's mindless could be inhabited by a soul. As you pointed out, though, there's no way to prove or disprove it.
"And since when is scientific research in line with religious dogma or morality?"
Not being in line with "religious dogma" I could understand...Not being in line with morality is another thing entirely. I hope you don't see the two as synonymous.
However, I agree about the celebrity name-dropping...
" "Technology people never gave their stuff away," Schroeder says. "But now folks are saying, 'You mean the New England Journal of Medicine is charging people?' ""
Misinformed or deliberately misinforming, I wonder which...
How are womens' rights being violated? If you're talking about abortion, no one has the right to end the life of an innocent infant. "Their body" ends where its begins. If you're talking about something else, please explain.

If I had points, I'd mod you up six ways from Sunday.

Yes, but did Bungie?
...but it's insanely amusing that it happened right before the "US Declared War on Intellectual Property Theft".
IP Theft pre-emptively attacked!

Don't forget the anti-(Anti-RIAA, anti-protection of intellectual property, anti-America, anti-government, anti-law enforcement, pro-illegal drugs), pro-bitch moan and complain.
Well, there are a couple of articles from the NY Times here, and one on the WASC website.
France, who was quite angry about Echelon, admits it.

You mean Slashdotting them? ;)
Who doesn't?

Hehe...Nice try.

Size aside, how do they expect to regulate something that's not part of the US?

Wow. Until I went and checked, that particular item in your list made me unsure of whether or not you were being serious.
It's called the AAP, and they do.

It refers to speakers getting on top of soap boxes in order to give speeches. Rants and editorials also come under its umbrella.
I thought this was a joke, especially after reading his last name, but it seems serious.
He's trying a gimmick, a bad one at that, to get elected. Getting "in touch with the community" doesn't mean letting them completely plan your day...
Yeah...They can't go wrong with pretty buttons and smiley-faces.
