I don't think the Supreme Court thinks it's OK to execute children. The case was whether it was unconstitutional or not. Personally, I don't think it's unconstitutional, but I do have reservations about it. In which case, Congress should pass a new law. The courts shouldn't use their power to make their own laws. It takes a smart Justice to know where his/her authority lies.
What's up with you people? I guess America is the only country that has "imminent domain"? Or perhaps in your contries, the gov't doesn't have the "right" to increase your taxes either.
Of course MS has the "right" to alter their license agreement, remember, you AGREED to it when you installed.
I think it's a stupid market decision, and in the end, it's their customers to piss off or satisfy.
So let me guess: all the citizens who voted for Kerry were extraordinarily enlightened and could think for themselves. Not like those stupid sheople who voted for Bush because if you voted for Bush, you weren't thinking on your own, but merely exercising the collective mind of the Republican party? Give me a break.
Exactly. I'm having a hard time figuring out this post. The arcticle seems to indicate that these laws forbid local gov'ts from establishing government controlled internet services--which is absolutely a good thing. But the gist I'm getting from slashdotters is that these laws will block local neighborhoods from sharing their WiFi. Someone please clarify.
The White House calls Iraqis fighting American troops "insurgents"? Then so do CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC. All of those channels are owned by conservative corporate entities.
Why is the word 'insurgent' considered propaganda? It's called vocabulary; you use a word when it describes something you want to say.
insurgent: a person who revolts against civil authority or an established government
When the US is an occupying force, opposition forces are called 'insurgents'.
If you recall during the Clinton administration, CNN was constantly referred to as the Clinton News Network because of their leniency. Clinton was also called Slick-Willy quite frequently because accusations against him just slid right off.
When news is ocurring, I'm not sure what you expect the news outlets to do...not report it? It's not like they're saying "here's the new White House press release and this is why you should agree". They're just reporting the news.
You didn't get attacked. You attacked the person who modded you by saying they couldn't think for themself(ves), when it might just be possible that they read your post and thought it was cantankerous...though I have to admit: I can't remember what the original post was about:)
Some right-wing type who can't think for his or herself modded my comment as Troll
Interesting that you use the same technique that you pretend to despise.
>> The prevailing scientific opinion is that global warming is real and dangerous. Where'd these religious zealots come from, and when do we start shooting?
How the f*** did the 'religous zealots' portion of this statement fit into your 'argument'? What's up with you/.ers and your anit-religous attitudes. All I read is 'religious zealot this' and 'religous bigot that'. I mean, I know Christians are responsible for global warming and all...but seriously

The editors probably would have caught it if it had used the phrase "broadcast flag".
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And from this article, I can't see any valid reason to transfer the responsibilities of ICANN to the UN.
critics say that [ICANN] is subject to U.S. political influence.
What is that?

Apparently whatever it was is [losing] ground. Don't you mean gaining ground?
2003: 50% + 37.7% = 87.7%
2004: 36.3% + 43% = 79.3%
There's an additional 8.4% to the 'Other' PDAs.
inferious? cynsical? they must not require english courses in your sociology program.
...this is why Google signed up for domain selling. They're getting their hands on the whois information to cross reference.
Sounds interesting, except that whois information is available to anyone.
get parents to buy $100-$200 worth of toys for their kids
$100-$200? cheapo...
Last time I checked, Microsoft was a publically traded company
... It's a publically traded company
Unless Microsoft has jumped into the Linux market, read it again:
If my business was just switching to Linux, and they wanted the best, my immediate suggestion would be Redhat
While this MAY be flamebait, I have to admit--it is the funniest post I have read in a while. I must have read it 6-8 times.
I'd like to think the parent poster is making a subtle social statement about the quickness to blame conservatives for everything.

If it seems too impossible to bungle a project like this...it probably is. I'd bet the half a billion has been funnelled to some covert program.
Nah, most people (and when I say 'most people', I mean 'all people') are using their VoIP phones behind a router.
