Thanks to this man I will never believe again, and I will vote republican across the board, even as a staunch progressive libertarian, until the democrats wake from their sleep.
A saner course of action would be to vote for a small party, or express your disgust by not voting at all. Don't be part of the problem by keeping the duofascists in power.
actually, that's not the saner thing. That doesn't guarantee their defeat in the same way voting for their strongest opponent does.

Well now that sounds like a really mature and intelligent way to deal with it.
If he's going to be nothing more than a sock puppet for crypto-fascist republicans and their propaganda ministers at fox news, we are screwed either way this election. It's best to keep slapping the one party which MAY have some virtue left until it rouses at last and gains some righteous fury!
the so called "moderates" (Fox News's word for crypto-fascists) he's trying to woo by quietly supporting this bill will not pay his bills.
This group draws attention to his outright lies, and has already resulted in announcements by several people that they will cease giving money, time, and votes to his campaign.
When you're financed by your party's base, and you give that base a golden shower, don't be surprised if they leave for greener pastures.
He has the capacity to actually demand change, and the political clout and media presence to shame these people who think cowing to a fundamentally unreasonable demand like our fourth amendment rights is "centerist" into standing up for americans on both sides of the aisle.
He didn't, and given the words on his site "i'm asking you to believe", It's an even greater insult.

As a person who grew up in a democratic household, i would be remiss if I didn't request you put the proper party logo for today's democratic party. The Elephant with 3 stars.
an objective analysis would be putting the game up for download with a survey.
The process for rating games is like that for rating movies.. old curmudgeons get together in a room, and if they see any red pixels it's given an M rating.
They gave PSOGC a teen rating because of "blood". You ran up, killed a monster, and as it died it melted into the floor leaving a very synthetic neon pink "splat" on the ground which looked like nickelodeon's "gak".
Safari used to be this browser, then they did something to the back-end, and pressing "stop" while it's loading will do nothing except make the slow page reload YET AGAIN once it's finished the Batan death-march you were trying to stop in the first place.
looks like all us "four-eyes" are going to have an extra modicum of privacy.
Naw, you'll just get put on the terror list first.
Think about it. You wear glasses because you are correcting your vision, possibly because you enjoy reading. While reading, you might be exposed to materials that are critical of plans to implement things such as iris scanners. Reading these critiques might cause you to begin thinking the government maybe exceeded its authority.
This kind of "thinking" is a strict no-no. True patriots never question; they obey.
even worse, I might repeat verbatim a book I read, thus committing the highest of crimes, copyright infringement!
3. Beat iris scanning machine into pieces with wrecking bar hidden in trousers.
4. Get arrested and sent to prison.
5. Join the millions who died in many wars for the rights being shat upon by the administration in knowing you did something good for humanity.

7. Profit! (Morally)

you can't be raiding home depot because they happen to be stocking fertilizer and fuel oil.
If fertilizer and fuel oil purchased from Home Depot were converted into a weapon with the same frequency that Pirate Bay torrent trackers turned into copyright infringement, they would.
Besides, fertilizer and fuel oil have other uses. A tracker for IndyIV.avi does not.
This is a bullshit argument. Where are the lawsuits against sony, panasonic, sharp, RCA, etc. "high speed dubbing" is used for what legitimate means again?
since when have security cameras had that kind of resolution, and why do we need iris recognition when cameras pick up the rest of the body perfectly well?
the only thing I see this being used for is to further nag you with ads and to track you and persecute you should your actions ever pose a threat to the political agendas of the wealthy who own the cameras.
A very small percentage of bad apples in our society spoil a lot of things for the rest of us. I'm all for using technology that makes it easier to identify the bad apples from the rest of us that just want to live our lives peacefully. The better the tools law enforcement has, the better for all of us.
Then you need to go to the people's republic of china, where they jail the one innocent man rather than let 1000 criminals go free. Our forefathers thought the opposite was more important.
As things stand we have all our information stored by banks, hospitals, employers, and social networks. This is a natural progression.
And this is ok on the face of it, but NOT the way these companies are being allowed to abuse it. Just because the abuse is ubiquitous doesn't mean it's ok.. that's like going back to the 1850's and arguing "slavery is the result of natural progression".
And so what? How much is this really going to effect us? Really?
Oh it doesn't hurt you at all as long as you're a conformist lemming who "has nothing to fear because he's done nothing 'wrong'... " It doesn't have to be the government directly involved in the oppression, either. The dixie chicks happens on the micro level every day when the personnel manager is a bush-ite scumbag.
as for other effects How about shortening people's lives with nagging telemarketing or killing wide swaths of the rainforest? I receive more useless paper in the form of junk mail each week from companies who buy this abusively shared information than I have ever used in a given year as a double major.
Geeks never understand the law, they assume that it is a mechanical system that can be gamed (well, because they're geeks)
I think they understand it quite well.
They just don't understand that the gaming involves money instead of technology.
whoever has the most money wins.
The internet is illegal right now thanks to rulings making it illegal to link to "infringing" content.
even ignoring the fact that 98% of what is on the internet is actually infringing (images, copied news reports, blah blah), if linking once to it is illegal, the next logical move is doubly-indirect links.. which will be ruled illegal under a "reasonable extrapolation" from that precedent, and then linking triple indirect.. until finally any level of indirection is illegal.
which brings us to the other side of this coin... that they created the stasi in places like sweden, which are monitoring all communications which cross their border, then signed a few "information sharing" treaties.

If you are calling pelosi and dean the "far left" you need to go back to your comfort zone reading Ann Coulter and watching the Oreilly factor.

I agree with this guy!

of course! that makes it so much less egregious!

HOLY CRAP! no wonder i'm so tired and have productivity problems of late.. Im running 500,000 sock puppet accounts on slashdot!
so who is the other guy?!
Such a codebook IS a copy of the book, even though you need to decode it somehow before you can understand it.
if the information present is not immediately recognizable as the work in question, it is not a copy of the work.
even derivative works are recognizable as such.
my point still stands.

"why else would you post the instructions to make a bomb if you didn't intend people to know thus be able to act on it?"
same argument the RIAA makes, different subject matter.
works in RIAA kangaroo courts, but doesn't work here? oh please!
