software patents such as most of/., i do think this is a totally bad idea (and i don't see how it would go through)
I think this more than anything would really stiffle innovation. the whole gaming industry moves so fast that it wouldn't seem worth it to waste money on patents. you would think they would want to crank out the next product to garner more earnings than sit on one idea for to long.
who lobbied for this legislation? i think it would be interesting to see who all was pushing for the RealID (besides senators trying to cover their asses)
spies are more likely to do industrial espionage compared to spying on gov'ts. it is apparently a lot easier to get info from companies about gov't plans (through contracts, ect) than trying to spy on the NSA or CIA
but then again, this is what i have read, so take it for what it is worth
a lot of it has to do with ego, and a lot of it has to do with committing to something and saying "this is what we are going with"
some people invest a lot of time into ideas and when they see their ideas threatened, they throw up the defense like no other. it transends programming all the way up to world politics.
i am guilty of it, but i have gotten better at admiting my mistakes and using it as something to build upon. it takes a lot to realize when you are at fault and you fucked up.
it is always pretty amazing to me to see the strong sterotypes given off in old cartoons. the things they could do way back when
lets get our shit on earth fixed first

Billions of dollars of debt, poor schools, students who can't even read or write. 50% of the working public in LA is illiterate. space is great and all, but we have bigger fish to fry here on earth
thus why everyone should oppose city governments offering free wifi, they are trying to take control of the pipes. once tehy own the pipes they can filter out what they don't want.
Everyone already equates junk email to "spam" their efforts will be futile. This will have as much success as MS trying to rebrand searching from "googling" something to "msning" something. it simply won't happen under the direction of the company wishing it so. all the IP lawyers in the world aren't going to change the minds of the entire population of computer users.
one of the great side effects of a larger and more intrusive government that regulates industry. those dangerous corporations get government protection by buying it, so those that can afford it from big government can get the laws and protection they need.
anyone that feels threatened by "big business" should feel threatened by "big government" as well. as soon as a government can regulate business is the moment government can become corrupt by the richest.
Simple: if there is a demand for 911 service, someone would provide it. you know good and well when you purchase the phone it lacks those numbers. you should have your local fire dept and police dept #'s written down somewhere close to the phone in case of emergency. Another example of idiots expecting people do to everything for them.
Punch your boss in the face if they are requiring you to use IE only for.NET. I do.NET development and there are TONS of cross browser controls out there for every feature imaginable. I don't see why anyone using.NET would be tied to IE only.
Write your GOVERNORS people! The national association of governors isn't a fan of the act and they want to protest it. WRITE YOUR GOVERNOR!!!!! it may still be able to be stopped
As long as China remains communist and the government tries to control the economy, they will never surpass the United States in relative output.
But then again, we are seeing China move towards a more capitalistic model and the United States moving towards a more socialist model, it will be interesting.
And he constantly gets reelected year after year. He is the only person out of 600+ that has the backbone to stand up for our rights. Sadly, he is one out of the many who care about our freedoms and preserving them.
They still voted for it. If each senator had problems with the bill they should have voted against it. They would have appropriated the funds again, just without the REAL ID act. Standing up and saying it scares you and it should be in the bill then voting for it is nothing but a circle jerk
IMO, Your best bet would be to incorporate (also serves to protect you in contractual agreement) and file your taxes for your income through that. LLC would allow you to limit your tax liability.
Agree 100%. When i was in school we only had a handful of them. We used them when it was necessary.
Now look at me, I am a software engineer, I think they are the biggest waste of money within a school, they are "super machines" that people think will make teaching go so much better.
Give the money to the teachers to higher a better staff, THEN you will have more well informed children. God if they paid $60K+ starting to teach, think of the people they could have instructing.

but then again, that is logical
dumb down teaching standards
teach american exceptionalism
teach propaganda
pass draconian laws

i can do all the programming i need on it (even .NET), unix backend, awesome interface. iPod even helped get me in the store to play with them.

but how long before it is filled with spam links, ads, ect? i don't see how they are going to keep it clean

I WILL PAY!!!! this would revolutionize the internet in ways never seen before
that is just like abstinence education, people think if you tell kids it is bad they won't do it. like kids aren't going to have sex or drink.

List the governments of the history of the world that have not ended up repressing their citizens.
Amazingly the list keeps coming up empty.
