    Doesn't anyone bother to check how the filesharing programs work. The file parts are available for downloading immediately when received. You don't have control of that part of the operation. Those parts can't be removed from the share area until the entire file is reconstituted. They are automatically available regardless. The judges instruction was wrong.

    ah, come on, presidents have been lying to congress for the last fifty years if not longer. And when they weren't outright lying they were trying to manipulate congress. What man do you know or maybe just you would admit to sleeping around on national tv in front of the wife with it also going into the public record. He only has to face congress and the public once in a while, he has to go home to her every night. Besides, just look at all the politicians that came out after they forced Clinton, many were republicans. Take your hypocrisy somewhere else. The whole Clinton presidency from the first few months was under a republican witch hunt to keep Bill from actually doing the job he had intended to do. The witch hunt worked by blowing up every tiny nothing the republicans could find and inappropriately waste taxpayer money on investigating. It's amazing the guy didn't turn into a drunk with all the people trying to destroy him for just trying to keep the peace and help the people he actually worked for. Care to guess why all we get is crap for leaders? I agree none in the running is worth anything. Real candidates haven't run since Carter and Ike wasn't that big an angel either although better than many.

    These companies have been getting away with to much for to long. Why are they getting treated better than the public? Corporate america needs to be reminded who is in charge, hint, it's not supposed to be them. If they misbehaved, especially since they have means and access to know better, they should be punished. Slam them down congress and put them in their place, so they might learn to check the next time before they break the law or they will just do it again and claim ignorance. You know, something the rest of us is told "ignorance of the law is no excuse" when we have little way of knowing what the law is. While big companies have legal departments dedicated to this, never mind government access, they should know better and be held accountable to that government access and superior availability to legal knowledge. Hold them responsible for their mistakes congress, get some balls for once.

    If they have to enforce the laws they should know them, if they don't they should be somewhere else. Otherwise, what authority are they actually under when they arrest you? Innocent until proven guilty means unless you're breaking the law they've got nothing and how can they tell if they don't know the law? After all they are the judge and jury at the scene of the supposed crime.

    "Another prominent moral of the story, is don't go on a moral crusade while your family is nearby... To them your high horse is just a stinky farm animal, unfortunately. Siblings will cry, parents will bail you out of jail, but your wife will simply call you an idiot."

    All this means is that your family is a bunch of arrogant groupthink idiots (that includes the wife) when you're standing up and protecting your rights and by extension theirs. If singular individuals won't fight when they are right, where will be those fine outstanding examples of proper citizenship to the children come from. This is an example of the bad things that are coming.

    This guy is a hypocrite, some bluster but little balls. The rest of the family are sheep(drones) too afraid to fight at all and have too little intelligence to recognize harassment for what it is by fighting it at every instance. Fight it out to the end, that's how this country was made. Besides if going into court to protect our rights is that much of an inconvenience, those that have died didn't think so, then the country is a complete success and by definition of that success already lost.

    If "high horse" has to be used then it means that standards have already collapsed.

    By the way, if your wife calls you an idiot maybe you need a new wife.

    The guy surrendered, he lost.

    Don't you just love the Ross Perot excuse? Get your family into it, then they can sue the city as well for dragging them through the mud. If your family has any sense at all they will recognize this for what it is and fight themselves. They should support you regardless as they're family. It's good you taught the youngest something, too bad it was the wrong thing.

  17. correct patent law on Inventors Protest Patent Reform Bill · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What is it with you guys, just strip all patent law back to its inception when it was fair instead of adding on more legal manure on top of the old legal manure in the hopes something beautiful will grow. If you get it back to the basics before much of the legal and corporate corruption trashed it all you might get a legal system the average american can understand, be able to use themselves, and have pride in.

    Has anyone thought that the guy was using a confrontational technique, something that isn't used to the publics demise versus the current kissass, to get Kerry to say more than canned comments to questions. After all, he is studying journalism. It may smell staged but maybe that was the intent to get more than the canned crapola that politicians normally put out by knocking them off balance.

    I see no one went to his defense even when obviously bad things were happening and the police obviously had exceeded their authority. That describes current college kids in a nutshell. Is it just him or doesn't everyone scream bloody murder when they are being abused. Obviously your turn hasn't happened yet. Self-centered blind obedience, just what the government ordered. If this had been in the sixties there might have been a good old fashioned riot. Darn, nothing but sports on the tube.

    You missed the first one, security could have backed off and let him have his due. Discussion is a part of an open forum. As he was not a threat and Kerry wanted to respond. It doesn't matter if he was preaching, rebels often do, doesn't make them less right even if the public doesn't want to hear. The kid refused to be taken, nice to see some kids still have some balls as I have been seeing less and less of it and more butt kissing. The kid might have been a little radical(point of view) but he is still entitled his say. Blogs are just about meaningless from sheer numbers. He had something he thought was worth pointing out and wanted some truth from the only person who could give it. A blog wouldn't be all that useful in that regard.

    Just because you don't know what he's talking about doesn't mean he's wacko. Who knows he may know more than you. Wow, paying for a ticket to see a public official on a college campus where a lot of kids don't have money. The logic. Public disturbance is a name for "we don't like what you doing so we're going to lock you away". Kind of reminds you of a police state doesn't it. Funny how he's a member of the public, but can't see a public official on a college campus both of which he's paying for.

    No he wasn't resisting arrest. He was dragged off by campus cops with questionable authority. As I have said before if you don't defend your rights at the time of the violation then doing it later matters little as you've already lost them. You've just described being muffled and locked away like most police states.
