"Now flame me if you must, but what happened to the good old days when the secretary was there to bring the boss a cup of coffee, and take his dry cleaning to the chinese place? You know... two wongs can make it white. "
What the hell is wrong with you?
" I remember installing debian once, and it had a list of over 1000 packages, each with a description."
The problem with teh definition is right here. Did you really agree to those 1000 packages? what if it was a 1000 page EULA, 1 page per package?
In the early 60's a law was passed (called the All Channels Act, I think) that they should regulate that all TV's can receive both VHF and UHF signals.
I think that's a pretty good thing. Compare with the broadcast flag. Both are design/capability mandates, but the former is meant to increase the capability, rather than lower it.
Also note that congress felt that it required a special law to give the FCC this power, whereas with the broadcast flag they haven't done that.
At least 2 out of the 3 judges were skeptical of the FCC's arguments, though some of them were also skeptical of some of the claims of hte challengers.
I attended the hearings and blogged a play-by-play of the argument.

Does this count everytime that I have to update by downloading an entirely new version every few weeks?

If I'm not mistaken, Current 11th ammendment jurisprudence allows states to ignore federal patent laws, and be immune from suits.
"Patents aren't really evil, just misguided, but the power of eminent domain is truly evil." Why? it IS in the constitution.
