Ok then, let's try this argument:
My Wifi card is allowed by a governmental body (ie FCC). Now, can I broadcast whatever the h*ll I want within the allowed frequency range, at the allowed strength? If so, why is the router answering me and why can't I respond to it?
I'm getting a bit tired of these comparissons. You simply can not compare using a neighbour's internet access to any tangiable item.
Now let's look at how it works (TTBOMK, to the best of my knowledge):
Option 1:
Computer starts up wifi -> Computer broadcasts: Hey, is anyone outthere? -> Open Wifi router: Hello, I'm here. Would you like an ip and a default gateway? -> Computer: Yes please.
If this is not permitted by the courts, it's time for the revolution.
Option 2:
Computer starts up wifi -> Computer broadcasts: Hey, is anyone outthere? -> Closed Wifi router: Hello, I'm here. I can give you an ip and a default gateway, if you know the secret handshake and have the decoder ring -> Computer: Sure do, it has to one of these n combinations. [/evil smurk]
This should be punished to the fullest extend of the law (or a slap on the wrist).
The evolutionary advantage for females is that they can have their children protected by a male, but breed with an evolutionary superior male. Why do you think we are one of the few species where a male can't tell if a female is ovulating. To learn more of evolutionary sexuality: use google, but here's one to start you of http://www.thegreatdebate.org.uk/sexualselection.h tml
search for "Red Queen"
Because now the record and movie companies can have their cake and eat it too...
They can finally get into the profitable digital downloadable media business, WITH DRM, via the EF and the EF online zone. You will not be able to watch digital media on a Linux box without breaking the law (now think about that a second time...). The Utopia we were all hoping for; affordable digital media with which you can do what you want (except distribute), will be crushed.
Fair use is going to be crushed by making it illegal to break/remove the DRM.
In the article you referenced, Williams seems to indicate that the increase in unemployement of black teens (16-17), since 1948, is only because of the increase in minimum wage. I simple can't believe that. Granted, I haven't read enough about the subject to offer well founded other reasons, but I can think of some plausible ones, and I'm sure you could as well.
William also states: It turns out that adults benefit from the discriminatory effects of minimum wages.... If adults have better paying jobs, they might be able to keep their 16 and 17 year old children in school, where, I believe, they should be.
Even if you don't agree with what I'm saying here, you at least have to give me credit for trying to take Williams seriously after reading this: For the most part, teenagers dominate the low-skilled worker category. They lack the maturity, skills and experience of adults. Black teenagers not only share those characteristics, but they are additionally burdened by grossly fraudulent education, making them even lower skilled.(Emphasis mine)
And don't think I'm discussing that before you show me some numbers to back it up!
Allthough my comment didn't mention unemployement, I'll bite:
Then just do what the new-cons do best, lower taxes. For companies and/or the lowest earning people.
By the way, in this global economy a low minimum wage in the US, is a futile attempt at competing with China and India. Do you really want to be in a price war with 1 billion starving peasants?
Everyone now will be looking for the back office Richard Pryor type (I forgot the name of the movie) as a scapegoat.

American workers are already being called the laziest in the world (by conservatives, mind you) while statistics show them to be among the most productive (overall, if not per hour). If we're such collective goof offs then why are we so productive?
Because:
You don't have as much vacation days as Europeans
Minimum wages are so low and without a wellfare state, some people have to work two jobs just to get by.
You have this collective 'Best <insert noun> of the world' attitude
The official legal distinction between a sport and a game is whether a participant can consume alcohol during the activity. For example: water polo, football/soccer, and skiing are sports.
You're absolutely right, that's why there is a 15 min. break in a soccer match. Enough to get totally wasted (if you practice).

The library?
Library: {
A place in which literary and artistic materials, such as books, periodicals, newspapers, pamphlets, prints, records, and tapes, are kept for reading, reference, or lending.
A collection of such materials, especially when systematically arranged.
A room in a private home for such a collection.
An institution or foundation maintaining such a collection.
I think you made a typo (or else RTFA).
European Parliament -> good
E Council -> bad (certainly last monday)
E Commision -> ?????
All three have to agree, in a complicated procedure.

Yes :)

We all know that, but you should NEVER EVER SAY IT.

It certainly isn't random, I spend two hours looking for a StarTrek character that said "I feel silly".

And christianity after that...
It won't change as long as a good writer and reasonable computer graphics are more expensive then an actress with a boobjob.

Wait... just getting the polling results in.

You're right, we should make sure that we only say things the masses want to hear.
