Just as science has come a long way from "rocks like the earth, smoke likes the sky", religion has come a long way from "Magic Man dunnit".
Also mod TFA up if that's possible. I think a reason there's so much friction on the topic of evolutionary biology is because people *don't understand that science and religion try to explain different things, and have different ways of testing their truths. If a book can help them out of that habit, I say put it in the schools.
Incidentally, I know we all know people whose religion is still at "Magic Man dunnit" level. But we also know people with similarly insipid ideas about science ("the Uncertainty Principle means we can't know anything for sure" and that sort of thing.)
Gods -- whether they exist or not -- have been one of the most important concepts shaping human history and culture. It would be like trying to educate children without mentioning "war", perhaps because you think war is immoral.
I surmise that it is because 90% of the execs are not creative. At All. They couldn't dream up an innovative marketing idea if their professional life depended on it (it does).
It's ludicrous/tragic that people this unimaginative have managed, for so long, to persuade millions that they are essential elements of our cultural and artistic life.
I was inclined to agree with you once, but then I saw a great joint press conference with FEMA and the RIAA, and I'm now convinced that no one makes music unless they're convinced it will make them millions.
If you want a serious answer, I imagine it phones home and tells MS eveything it can about your machine. If you interrupt it, MS maybe thinks you're a pirate, etc. The usual.
South Africa, The Iraq, and the Asian countries still need a lot of help from our education over here before they're ready to get XOs and build up our future.
"a W3C-lead standardization of a "free" codec, or the active endorsement of proprietary technology such as Ogg,..., by W3C, is, in our opinion, not helpful for the co-existence of the two ecosystems (web and video), and therefore not our choice."
"there isn't enough gold for the government to buy enough for 100% backing of the currency"
I'm not an expert but how do you figure this? Seems like whatever quantity of gold and USD there are in the world, you'll be able to set up a ratio where one backs the other. Unless, of course, there's actually zero gold in the world.
Thinking over that line in the bill a bit, it occurs to me:
Communication of *any kind "has aided in facilitating violent radicalization" -- because all communication can be propagandistic.
The question vis-a-vis combating terrorism is whether the (pun) *net effect of interconnectedness via a series of tubes is to increase or decrease radicalization.
It's really a question about whether you trust the good information to get out at a faster rate than the propaganda.
Dear Honest Individual I am Stella McBride, aged 21years old the daughter of Late Darl Makoba a politician,gold and software merchant from Angola. I and my mother now residing in Senegal dakar west africa. As a result of the on-going problem in our country, we must relocate US$500 million of intellectual property to an overseas account...
Must be some usage of the term "insightful" with which I was previously unfamiliar. My advice to you, sir, is not to vote for any of Ron Paul's *supporters in the presidential election.
Good job refuting "Many people can't tell the difference, but people who can afford HD typically care"
but in fact it's already contrafactual on its face. Perhaps 1% of ppl in the market for these devices can tell the difference and care. The other 99% will buy what the salesperson at the big box store tells them is the best.
Which means that more will buy the more expensive 1080p stuff, but not for the reason GP states.
"access and use the Site and electronically copy, (except where prohibited without a license) and print to hard copy portions of the Site Materials for your informational, non-commercial and personal use only"
Can't use their service for commercial purposes; how mainstream can it be?
Giuliani did a pretty good job informing you, but I'll add: When you're clicking on any license agreement, with any terms whatsoever, you're operating within a legal framework that depends on the government of your state. *not relinquishing your own country's legal framework and accepting that of the license author. This is why we have phrases like "void where prohibited" -- licenses and contracts can't veto other countries' laws. Yet?

Ah, *that's the word I was looking for: "pioneer". Doing something others have not yet tried.
Like e.g. claiming that you get to dictate what ppl can do with material that you broadcast indiscriminately to anyone who'll listen.
A bold step forward.
Would it be that hard to rename "copyright" to "viewright" before starting up crap like this?
