I do hope that I'm one of a million posters saying that copyleft is right and copyright is wrong. The patent and copyright systems are unethical and therefore counterproductive.

Oh, I definintely recommend the Heritage Foundation's Index of Economic Freedom. Everyone must remember that economic freedom -is- personal freedom, and conservatism is the reduction of government. These words have become corrupted, as has the idea of "freedom". I urge you to consider the Heritage Foundation to be an excellent source of truth in our political world.
To answer the topic question, I want to remind you how much of a duty you have to your fellow countryman. If possible, you need to stand up and change things, as a country full of people who don't do that will get trampled on by the first bully it encounters. And bullies are the ones who crave power. As a last resort, though, "voting with your feet" is effective, so long as you're willing to fight for your principles in your new country.
And I love your sig. I need to remember that.

I've been impressed by Red Hat's ability to consistently make money and perform well. They were one of the few profitable companies during the big.com bubble burst at the turn of the century, and it's good to see them repeat this success story.
For that reason, I think that Red Hat just won't be very appealing to a buyer who wants to interfere. I think the two most likely interested buyers would be squatters who just want a secure investment and therefore won't interfere or truly enlightened people who know the real power of a principled open-source support company.
I think they're likely to stay independent for some time, though, so long as they can stay under the radar of the government of the United Socialists of America.
Hmm, it seems that the curie point for Iron is 768c while the melting point of aluminum is only 660c, though I bet flashing the surfaces of the discs with heat would demagnetize the iron without melting the aluminum.
Me, I like using a set of precision electromagnets to systematically write data all over the drive in a seemingly natural pattern, such as someone repeatedly writing words over top of other words on a piece of paper. Of course, the precision electromagnets I'm talking about are the hard drive heads, and the data patterns I'm talking about are written by freeware hard drive wiping software. q-:
I didn't stop there. I trekked on. It gets worse, but I couldn't stop reading for some reason.
I'm a little disappointed that Slashdot picked this one up./-:
Indeed!
You know, it really peeves me to see this type of reasoning in this specific context.
Bacteria becomes resistant to our immune systems, which lends it to being susceptible to certain fungi. Then, it becomes resistant to those fungi, leaving it susceptible to fluorescent-light-powered-supernanotraps! I wouldn't mind lending my body to science in order to see how those new nanotech-resistant bugs stand up to my primitive immune system.
Hmm, I'd guess it would be very bad "out of the box". doubling the distance would cut the signal by 1/8 (I believe), while on earth it would only cut it by 1/4 by riding more along the ground. there would be less wi-fi noise, and the kinds of noise you usually -do- get in space are so different from 2.4GHz that it would be trivial to filter it out, so I would assume that the limits would only be the amount of focusing, the sensitivity of the electronics, and the actual timeout interval...
Echoing what others wrote, it's good when people can do it to themselves, and it's bad when people do it to others. Yet I can't help but think this is exactly what I want, and so I'll probably find myself cheering it on.
Plenty of people have fooled around with hard drive platters as bladeless Tesla turbines...though the new base materials shatter more easily than the old.
Hooray for good old Government Protection. Coal, Mail, Copyrights, Drugs, Gambling...what will they think of next? (Can we make "Vote For Ron Paul" a tag?)
I wonder if this will start a more substantial return of Cyrix to the US desktop market. As I understand, Via has a bigger processor team from IDT than from Cyrix but more processor designs that are still currently usable from Cyrix. (I'd be interested if anyone else can inform me better on that.)
I was a big fan of Cyrix during the 6x86 era, since the integer units were awesome on those chips.

Ooh Google, you should. That would be cool. q-:
