Isn't is amazing that the whole point in licensing the software was to get around that fact that a copy was in ram and violated copyright. Since they have now invalidated the reason software licensing exists let's nail their asses.
Doesn't need to be amended, it's already there in plain and direct language. The problem is getting SCOTUS and Congress to acknowledge it. Maybe lynching a few congressman will help.
We already have an amendment that exists that the founding fathers tried to pass in the early 1800s that would get rid of this congressional scum. Now if congress would acknowledge it passed as well.
Obviously, you haven't been in America where going anywhere even in many cities is a long trip in varying extremes of weather. And I'm not talking a town over the next hill when you leave the city either. You definitely can't walk anywhere if you intend on having any kind of life, survival included. The only people who do, live next to their job or work at home and that doesn't count dependencies like school, store, medical which are often never nearby. I also won't get into the crime rate of all those targets if they were walking out in the open.(drive by, gang, racial issues, etc)
This country is huge with unstable geographic and regional climate areas and ruled by a government of the self-interested.
You also point out another problem, arrogance, fear, and other emotional problems with so many different people together in one place. America is definitely a continuing education in multiculturalism, so much so that it has developed its own.
The reality is that in many places you need to own a car just to survive. The bank is 20 miles, store 20 miles, hospital 20 miles, in a large town and the closest gas is 14 miles in a small town. There's no public transport out here, either. The nearest small city with a better and larger variety of products and services is 50 miles away.
True, most countries have been screwing us for years, and we benevolently (basically to help them, sympathy can be a bitch and it's coming back to bite us) let them. Time to close the door a little and make them pay to access our economy regardless but especially if they don't want us to have access to theirs.
Not when you need money to live and employment is the only way to it. Not everywhere is there a massive number of jobs or paying self-employment especially when you have a wife and kids. When the government makes possessing money as the only way do exist then maybe their should be a right to employment since we're essentially slaves to it at corporate and government insistence. Just pay yearly property taxes on your home you've already bought and paid for for more than you'll make in decades. It's like renting a car that you've already bought and paid off. Seems kind of hypocritical doesn't it.
Maybe you haven't noticed that many of the countries screwing us now run protectionist economies and have for a long time. A good example is Japan all through the eighties while they were trying to wipeout our electronic industry, when they weren't stealing every bit of research they could get their hands on. Where do you think much of those massive trade deficits come from? The US is the only country where this behavior usually gets beaten down, we all have to be ethical and sympathetic when it comes to what other countries want(demand) even when it's not in our best interest. They're competitors plain and simple and should be treated as such. China is another example of the big US giveaway, thank you government and corporate america for fucking the rest of us.
There never was a shortage in IT workers, employers won't pay when there's high demand, even when they need the help. Well, at least, not hire new additional employees at high wages until their current overworked employees start killing their managers. It has happened in every industry, whenever there is high demand in certain career areas large companies do everything they can to ignore or kill it except accept it and hire anyway. Face it, it's just another "cost of doing business", you can always buy the beemer this year instead and get the ferrari next year. And yes I've seen this behavior in action quite often, even had to do it myself, but it was like pulling teeth without the hammer on the head first and I'm glad I don't have to do it anymore.
So in other words, red hat with a different name. They can order a disk for free and computers are already sold by dell and others with linux installed, the legitimacy is already there. Since no one even heard of it I doubt it's being advertised much, no one will buy if they don't know about it, regardless of cost.
You might want to look at books before the 1960s or 1970s. When a lot of science was still more speculative, allowing science fiction to go in a myriad of directions. A lot of short stories were written in the 40s and 50s and there's project gutenberg for the really old stuff from verne, burroughs, and wells. Battlefield Earth is a good long read(1000 pages), old version before the crappy movie. Some 50's short story books like "The Space Frontiers", "Invaders of Earth", "Reach for Tomorrow", or "A Way Home" should be workable as the education and lives of young people now are more advanced and complicated than many adults of the 1950's era that these books were aimed at (old bugs bunny vs spongepants(yuk)). They also give a good cross section of authors of the period. I read all of them at age 10 among others and had no trouble following any of them. Many of the stories are short enough to match the attention spans of our young people and many are light enough to be entertaining plus the abundance of stories allow them to choose what they want to read. Authors Clarke, Sturgeon, Tenn, Asimov, Conklin, Vogt, Brown, and others, made for some interesting reading before the big franchises had influence, think Star Trek and Star Wars among others, and before the thinking and presenting became rather standardized.
Am I the only one who noticed that the foundation didn't exist until Bill married Melinda. Personally, I think right after the honeymoon, maybe during, she took him out to the woodshed and he finally grew up. I wonder what she used, an ash shovel (mclintock) or a cane as I doubt bare handed would have done much. She's largely the driving force behind the charitable end given Bill's history of screwing everybody where money is concerned. By the way, if you take all the customers and enemies/friends that Bill Gates/Microsoft has robbed over the last thirty years, we've already contributed to the foundation plenty. And yes it does good things, but considering the connections and resources available it could do a lot more, never mind interleaving with all the other foundations. And has anyone else noticed, considering the sheer number of foundations around that we still have lots of problems?
RMS is largely about the ethical high ground and dareing us to get there. As the software freedom evangelist he does quite well. Of course, it does get old for us regulars but he's not aiming at us and even we need a reminder once in a while.
The yuppie generation, which these people are a part of, should get a good kick in the teeth, starting with government, considering they're in charge and blowing it for the rest of us. George Carlin described you people right. And much of this giving smells more like tax evasion and after mid-life guilt. If you want proof, just ask if you would donate if the financial/emotional gains didn't exist.
If your already using Tex this program does make it easier to load and save various configurations. If you haven't heard of it its called Lyx at website lyx.org. It's aimed at scientific use but works well for general functions too.
Actually I don't have to worry about it as I don't watch television and movies, don't use youtube(ex video addict), and only listen to indie music once in a while. But I still don't like where this decision is going. And Google, get with your own program, "do not evil" means just that, keeping private information beyond functional necessity is the same behavior as corrupt governments we often rail against.
All they'll do is demand immunity in exchange for testimony, the people still lose. Get some balls democrats. Don't pass any legislation, its only six months. Don't pass immunity and after 2 or 3 independent class actions assuming any of the telcoms except qwest are still around they will learn to never listen to the government against their own legal counsel or believe politics will save their ass. They'll never trust government again, just the way it should be. The bastards broke several federal laws intentionally and violated the constitution(treason), break'em. Take away their corporate charters, sell off the pieces, and pay off the nation debt with the money.
And yes, being government sponsored monopolies they are pseudo-government entities with government affiliations making them directly bound by the same constitution prohibitions and edicts as the government. So treason is definitely possible since they supported Bush who is a direct violator of said constitution.
Unpleasant? Ask apple, IBM, and any other friends and enemies they've screwed. Let's not forget about more recent manipulations of the government monopoly hearings and ISO. Praise maybe, trust no, and forgiveness never. Since alot of the formats have already been reverse engineered the need is really not all that there. Specs nice, need not really, good for documenting maybe, depends on any lying and traps. Smells like an attempt to corrupt the independent programming world with manipulable ideas.
Given microsoft's history against enemies, or even friends for that matter, are you so naive that they can be trusted? Gates may not be CEO but it's still his company. I won't even place bets on its some kind of trap, Microsoft only exists to help microsoft. Obviously the world doesn't learn from history much. All those degrees and PhDs and no memory at all or anything like intelligence to see a setup acoming.
There is no market in a monopoly environment. That's why ISP throttling is bullshit. They have been already paid to expand the network to provide what's needed so do it already. They're just greedy.
Customer to ISP: I'm rich. I'm sueing to remove your monopoly and common carrier status. And I'm not alone. Maybe we'll just form a new ISP and drive you into the ground.
So you "laundered" copyrighted material through monolith. Somehow, just as with money and banks, I think it's still copyrighted material and illegal. Essentially it's a big con job.

Actually, with the internet, a direct democracy is quite possible. Just the political pricks won't let go of the power they currently have.
Seems like maybe you should warm up a few, not just one, head-choppers and use as necessary until government listens.

reverse that: icann.fuck
