The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
The Constitution does not allow the Federal Government to control the legality of gambling. That's a power reserved by the states. But that doesn't stop them; they just try to use their power to regulate interstate and international commerce.
The 10th Amendment died it's last gasping breath in Roe vs. Wade, and that has nothing to do with the argument of morality in abortion. The Supreme Court had the chance to kick that case out and say, "Look, regardless of whether or not we think this is morally right or wrong, the Constitution provides no direction on this issue, and if this case is to be judged by this court, Congress must go through the appropriate channels to amend the Constitution. As it is, citing the 10th Amendment, the right to regulate this practice is reserved to the states, and any challenge to this law as unconscionable with respect to the Constitution of Texas should be made within the Texas Judicial system."
Believe what you want about how abortion should have panned out, but the Supreme Court put the final nail in the 10th Amendment's coffin with the Roe v. Wade ruling. If you want to change that, vote for a Constitutionalist.
3. Be very conservative with immunizations. How many middle class US children are really going to get exposed to Hep? And since thermerisol has finally been removed from vaccination products, the autism rate has finally stopped exploding (despite the fact that studies show no link between the two).
Well, in the US this would disqualify your child from receiving a public education.
But why is this article tagged Sony? The Sony rootkit was done by a content division of the company like, what, two years ago? And it wasn't even a VM rootkit.
Or are the sheeple waving their "Never forget" banners loudly?
Will this save the PS3? Consider that Heavenly Sword was supposed to be a console seller...it turned out to be a 5 hours affair with 2 hours of cutscenes and gameplay that made me think of God of War, Dynasty Warriors and Ninety-Nine Nights....'cept with a much prettier lead character.
First, I work as a video game reporter, among other things. I've been to these shows, though sadly I didn't make it to TGS this year. (Last year was fun though.)
Us people in the know have been very harsh on Sony about Heavenly Sword's length, but you know what, all the common video game consumer friends I have with a PS3 have called me up to ask if I absolutely loved the game as much as them... and when I tried to explain that it was great but short, most of them told me in a matter of fact way that the game was like an epic movie that you got to play, and that being short made sense to them because it kicked ass in the short time it played and it didn't have tons of filler, which they didn't want.
Us 'elite' gamers have been giving it a bad rap, and I know that this is simply anecdotal, but it appears to me that the ho-hum consumer actually appreciates the shortness vs. the content.
I'll just make my menuconfig and set all my options... and pray that there are no options I have to remove manually... and then I'll make my kernel dependencies, and pray that my options don't get undone there... and then make zImage and take a leak... then I'll make the modules... then I'll copy the copy the new kernel to the boot partition... then I'll make modules_install... then I'll edit lilo.conf (assuming I'm usuing lilo)... then I'll reboot to make sure it doesn't break the OS... then if it works I'll set it to default.
Hot damn, is that simple or what!
I want to emphasize that I think the article is good, and that it's the kind of point that needs to be made...
But lets not forget that the "artistic merit" of Bioshock is basicly the watered down artistic merit of System Shock 2, as Bioshock is a copy and paste of the game, sans cyberpunk theme.
No one talked about that game back in the day when it came out, and I think it's important to remember that such artistic merit is not a new thing. Very old games had just as much, or more artistic merit that was never praised or recognized. The market is simply willing to recognize it now.
The creation of plural forms by tongue-in-cheek stretching of English plural 'rules' is popular among hackers, sometimes as a way of marking a term as community jargon. See boxen and mouses for the most visible examples. Other examples, whether widely used or not, are easily recognized and deciphered, and it is well understood that these irregular (or hyper-regular) plurals are not errors but examples of geek humor.
and showed that developers have to fix their code. Fast...
Ummm... no. In a world where the list of things that most developers need to fix is quite lengthy, some of which renders your average app unusable or even dangerous, fixing an exploit of a hardware configuration which has no proven virii in the wild is not at the top of the list.
Yes, it's important to be proactive. No, such a difficult and obscure attack is not something that is priority one.
That was quite the reply... I completely agree, the shmoozing that some executives get for doing negative work at some companies is despicable, but I see many people who extend that bar to anyone who tries to succeed.
Greed is every bit as damaging as entitlement... but almost everyone indulges their entitlement, few indulge their greed.
Does anyone else remember a time in American history when people would here something like this and go "I want to try and become like them" instead of "I want what they have" or "they can't have that because I don't"?
Why have we as a society become so filled with entitlement and laziness? If you have the money, you can get it. If you don't have the money, work for it. These guys were nobody's once upon a time as well... it's not like the American dream is dead, it's the American dreamer that's dead.
Not at all... the engineer will win every time within our lifetime.
The problem Stallman faces is that he wants to effectively make the barrier to entry in any software market zero, but he also wants to prevent corporations from selling services by allowing their customers to self patch right out of the proprietary software, letting them get their support from the community.
This may actually be better for the customer, but the people who actually design the products, and ownt he fiber, and run the fabrication plants don't like it, because it more or less is Stallman trying to guarantee their irrelevence, and until there is a fabrication facility and your own electronics engineer with lines to every other network in the world in every household, the corporations have to exist.
The way I see it, Stallman is upset about the way reality works, not the things Linus is doing. AFAI can tell, Linus is pushing right up until the point that his ideas become impractical, and for some reason RMS can't stand that.
they're suggesting they've never accepted money to change the way something is done or not done?
You do realize this is Quebec we're talking about right? The province that ransomed the rest of their own country because they're selfish, whiney bastards?
I made the mistake of RTFA, ensuring this wasn't the Frost Pist (tm), but what the article describes sounds like an interesting technology. The medium involves coiled wire on a silicon chip and "sliding" magnetic ones and zeros down "notches" in the wire.
and this means that conservatives have difficulties to gasp changes and understand new ideas (nothing new here).
The results are as open to interpretation as the politics are... Do Conservatives have trouble grasping new ideas, or do Liberals have problems learning from experience?
Sounds like a political argument to me... but then, these guys were scientists afterall. It's not as if Universities are biased, or that scientists have political opinions.
This isn't as bad as the UC Berkley study which basically tried to 'scientifically prove' that Conservatives were mentally impaired... using taxpayer dollars.
I also wonder just what they mean by "Conservative". Ron Paul is the candidate that has made the most sense to me so far, and most consider him FAR right... course most of those people don't know the different between conservative and libertarian, but still.

How can he just leave? Most contracts with labels specificly forbid such a thing for very lengthy periods of time, or with the same band name/members.
Yeah, because I'm sure that his contract wouldn't land him in court for doing that.
At least this way he can take the "It's actually my intellectual property" defense to the US Copyright Office if he gets thrown into court.
Yes, it's important to be proactive. No, such a difficult and obscure attack is not something that is priority one.
About the only thing it's not useful for is SSH and FTP.
Not to mention the good that sending a DMCA request to The Pirate bay would do.
I'd be interested in a non-GUI Image Manupilation Program.
Even if the old author was violating the NC clause, I'd say that selling the site is a commercial use.

Having an idea that works in the market is luck? Getting into MIT is luck?
I think if there is one thing that is just plain hard work, it's getting into MIT.
