I know it's not cool to RTFA, but this will not be included in the home versions of Win7
The only way Joe user would recieve this is if they purchased Ultimate
We know he's an M$ employee, and obviously to most people on/. that makes him teh sux0r - but I doubt he's responsible for the company's direction and conduct!
He's nice enough to present what he knows...direct your anger at someone/something that deserves it.
Thank you!!!
This is the first I've seen this mentioned on this page. I was about to mention it myself.
NO POST FACTO LAWS.
You CANNOT create a law to act retroactively. Period. It's clear, it's concise. All other arguments aside THIS IS BLATANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
I don't tend to be a die hard constitutionalist. At least, I wasn't - until I began to see that many many many people had a point. If you give an inch, they will take a mile.
I'd like my mile back please. I'm only going to ask nicely so many times.
Why has nobody mentioned the Draconian DMCA being pushed through Switzerland and Canada...two places I honestly expected to some of the LAST to go!
THIS is what truly terrifies me - corporatocracy. Government by the will of the corporation, for the corporation. Democracy, it seems, has been subverted.
Just look to Canada's recent minimum sentencing drug law push after a court ruled prohibition illegal.
And the Swiss were supposed to be safer with Direct Democracy. I suppose we'll watch it tested in the near future...
The only candidate I know of that supports direct democracy a la Switzerland is Mike Gravel...It's his platform and most people miss that.
Yeah, I know he's painted as a nutjob but I suggest actually listening to some of what he has to say. You may be surprised.
Power to the people, give peace a chance!
Why?
Did this happen in the other nations that implemented this?
I can't understand why people assume this...Unless, of course, that's what you've been told/
And so few are outraged that that traffic (or at least the connections) will more than likely be logged by the government against the will of the people.
I'm more than happy to oblige! Here's the solution:
Get. The. Hell. Out. Now.
There. The US doesn't shoot any more civilians!
Perfect Solution:
Stop. Invading. Soverign. Nations.
We shouldn't be at war unless it's for our survival. Period. To protect ourselves from media manufactured boogeymen is...umm...a bad idea.
Define threat.
China is a threat.
Iraq 'was a threat'
???
Lots of nations COULD be threatening to the US...preemptive war is stupid. We've got enough nukes to flatten most of the planet...
We destroyed their democracy.
Heck, they're not even threatening us, they say they want nuclear power. I say we let them do what they want...They don't even have a delivery system.
Maybe if we talked to them things wouldn't be so tense? Just an idea. I know, I'm a nutjob.
Why is he a nutjob?
Because he's not a scripted actor, meant to present an image?
He's a real human being. Extremely liberal, yes...But how does one define nutjob besides being different?
He's the only one sane enough to put what's right and what he believes above all else...He's the only one besides Dodd and Gravel that has even MENTIONED the constitution in debates...
A man of character is a nutjob I suppose.
Go Gravel!!!
Go Kucinich!!!
Go Ron Paul!!!
Nutjobs in '08!
I know the media makes him out to be a joke. And a lot of his ideas are DIFFERENT. Whether or not you agree with a lot of his specific policies, his zealous push for Direct Democracy should make anybody take note.
Not to mention he ended Nuclear Testing in the North Pacific, Filibustered singlehandedly the end of the draft and, eventually, the Vietnam war.
So, I ask you, who in the race has done more to earn the trust and respect of the American people?
Obama? Hillary? Giulaini? Thompson? - They have one thing in common: They've done nothing.
Ron Paul has earned it. Gravel has earned it. Hell, even Dodd, Biden, and Richardson to lesser and sometimes more humorous extents have earned it.
That's the thing though. Americans want celebrities, not leaders.
Yes, I'm a Gravel supporter. A huge one.
All of us should support his basic platform: people should govern themselves.
See, this is the problem. The world isn't very big anymore.
Sorry. We're just not isolated.
The clean our house before we even think about another's really isn't a great idea. Why?
Because it's all connected! Oppression anywhere is a threat to civil rights anywhere...
The fact that we can excuse what's happening in our country just shows how bad it's gotten. Other countries do this regularly, and our government likes to help them out.
Still...people just don't care. Why? Good question.
The internet is our last hope to avoid destruction. I completely and wholeheartedly believe that and have believed it for a while now. An open accessable, neutral network with unlimited capacity for information of all kinds. I am empowered to learn almost anything known to mankind just by having a connection.
By allowing corporate control and manipulation of this connection, our leaders and even the courts now (who are too naive, corrupt, and/or ignorant to even understand the absolute BASICS of technology), we have begun to lose our last hope.
Libraries are turning into glorified video rental places/censored internet terminals. TV/Books/Magazines/Movies - everything is being consolidated and controlled to present a single set of images and ideas.
Let this go people, and you are sacrificing our future. For once I have to say, won't somebody please think of the children?
I wish the US had a Competition Bureau!
Who are we to contact? The FCC? The DOJ?
Man...I'm all for fighting, but lately it feels like we need to get out of dodge before we're not allowed to anymore.
I'm not sure if I believe the American People care about the truth anymore. Maybe I'm jaded, or just having a bad day...But the longer I'm alive, the more I see, the more I follow politically, the more I realize that people don't care enough to do anything.
They'd rather fill up on corn syrup and whine about the lack of choices, or whine that their only options are 'corrupt'.
What's corrupt is our society - period.
No honest politicans? Nothing different? Always the same?
Mike Gravel
Ron Paul
Dennis Kucinich
And those are just MAINLINE party candidates - there are hundreds of alternative parties out there.
Who cares though? Let's just let HillarBama walk straight into the white house. They make us feel better. They're not human, after all. We're no longer able to elect anyone that appears remotely human.
"Follow the money!" - Frmr Sen. Mike Gravel
No. That would make sense.
Common sense and reason are dead in our country. Dead.
We do absolutely NOTHING that makes sense. We never change ANYTHING.
This must be what Rome felt like in the end...A few people jumping up and down screaming at the top of their lungs while the majority stumbles around blindly patting themselves for being the absolute best...
The Department of Justice is hypocritical through and through.
Even it's name is hypocritical.
I would say THEY'VE lost all credibility, all trust...But...
We're the biggest losers. We've lost credibility. Self esteem. Self image. Everything.

There's no outrage though - we get an iPhone!

You sir, deserve to me modded far higher than the system currently allows!

Well, if that's the case it's not a problem. Politicians need their power checked by the people. Period. That's the only way for the system to work.

Care to give me an alternative?
Here are my choices:
Wireless (Not Available)
Cable- Comcast
DSL - ATT (Ummm...pretty damned evil as well)
Satelite - (Can't afford it and gaming impossible)
Dial-Up - Yeah. Umm. No.
So what. I rent, so getting myself a T1 isn't exactly an option.
So...I guess I'm brow beaten. Help me help myself!
Your assumption is that I do nothing, have done nothing, and/or will do nothing. That all I do is complain. I have no idea where you got that idea.

If you don't have an agenda of SOME KIND to push, check for a pulse. To be human is to be biased. Some are more open about it than others!

Hey Verizon? Too bad. You don't own anything. The airwaves are OURS, no matter what our corrupt FCC/DOJ want to lead you to believe.
An unjust law, is not.
The Department of Justice is hypocritical through and through. Even it's name is hypocritical. I would say THEY'VE lost all credibility, all trust...But... We're the biggest losers. We've lost credibility. Self esteem. Self image. Everything.
Is the summary writer/editor/site possessed? Not only did it not make a ton of sense...
