    They should put a tax on listening to music. After all, Mozart could reproduce any piece of music after listening to it only once, obviously he'd be a cp infringer in these days.

    Remember that god commanded us to love our neighbors... except for those across the street, they're not "neighbor" enough, we only have to love our next-door neighbors, we can drop all kindsa bombs on the neighbors across the street.

    I'm sure the non-idiots calling wouldn't be horridly offended by the "my computer icon on your computer's desktop" and it would've saved you a bunch of headaches.

    Of course, anyone calling you for help would already seem to be up a creek without a paddle.

    I think Apple would be worse...
    At least with "MS" PCs you can switch to Linux, upgrade your hardware components. Apple would lock you into Apple-only software AND hardware, and any accessories associated with your computer.

    Here's a really old chart with real statistics. It says that going to work is way more dangerous than flying in airplanes OR crashing your car.

    The quality of kernels is of minor concern, major concern is time to market and freshness.

    Doesn't the time to market and freshness influence the quality of the kernels?

    Because, of course, the governator has an electronic implant and if he ever even THINKS about leaving california, he will explode into horrible bits.
    Governors, even governators, in the US are not allowed to even think about leaving their state.

    That nasty xtian reorientation camp has a 0% success rate. They've tried all your tricks and not a damn one of them worked. Do you think if you broke the dog's leg before you gave him food that he'd start enjoying broken limbs?

    you are so last century, it's sexual orientation, cuz there's not a choice in it as preference implies.

    you also forgot to mentions that in some societies, it is unlawful for people of differing ethnic/racial backgrounds to be married. your post would have had a lot more flamebait quality then.

    You're right that gov't has its hands all up and over marriage. I don't see any difference in the definitions between union and marriage. Right now, any church can declare a union for any couple and that couple will have no legal rights or privileges. All you're proposing is switching the definition of union and marriage. All that would do would make a bunch of constitutional amendments limiting unions to hetrosexual couples. So basically, you're leaving the definition of marriage/union in the hands of a church, and now us godless heathens and non-xtian religious people will have no right to marry.

  22. Re:Makes sense on More Freedom for DVD Players? · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately for your selfish demands, content authors *do* have a moral right to control how their work is displayed or performed.

    No they do not. Such a position is utterly irreconcilable with the right of free speech, which has a more solid foundation. Moral rights are bullshit. You are both wrong. Copyright holders have the exclusive right to display or perform their works publically (in the US) granted by the US copyright law. Meaning that it is illegal for ANYONE but the copyright holder to display these at all, in whole or in part.

    and btw: Freedom of speech does not include the freedom to break laws.

    Clearly the legislature feels we should adopt the 'barrel method' of child rearing:

    Universities also used to require SSNs for unique student IDs, but now that's illegal and all the universities have to change everyone's ID and issue new cards. If they have such a beef with your industry requiring SSNs, tell them to call their senetors to have the law changed. That's the only way the industry will change this policy.
