Or it could be that all possible outcomes occur, and our experience is only capable of comprehending one such line of existence. When you sum up all the possible such lines, you get a version of you that will have made every possible combination of choices.
Well, because they don't have any money. All their money comes from us anyway, either in the form of taxes or in the form of a bill from the some company who has to pay for the program. When has anyone received a bill from a three letter agency for 'services rendered'?
So tell me again why we're fighting to spread democracy around the globe? Shouldn't we start at home first then? I guess the War for republicanism (note little 'r') didn't test too well in the focus groups.
I may be showing my ignorance on this, but wouldn't this violate the/. sacred cow of network neutrality? How is the ISP to know what's a spammer versus a really busy mailing list without filtering based on content?
My understanding was that the pipes were subsidized by our taxes and built through the exercise of emminent domain. Perhaps I'm wrong in thinking that those pipes should be run with my benefit in mind. Oh, wait, I can just go choose one of the numerous other providers of the 'last mile'.
The intended purpose of copyright (and patents) is to provide incentive to artists and inventors to take risks and create.
Um, from the Constitution, the purpose of patents are "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries; http://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_A1Sec8.html
Mr Kennedy also warned that the music industry could sue internet service providers (ISPs) if they do not crack down on their customers who flout copyright rules.
I wonder what will happen when this and the interest the US Government is showing in the content of what people are looking at (here and here) and Bell South's interest in looking at the destination of your packets and no longer acting as a pipe intersect.
As long as we are on technical legalities here. The FISA regulations defines a foreign agent as anyone workign with a foriegn power without regurd to thier citizenship and then describes a foreign power to be another country, agency or groups of people working against the united states including terrorist. Bill Clinton used this exact same power and circumstances to spy on US citizens thought to be involved in the OK city bombing. If it is already ok to be done then then why is it not okl when Bush decides to do it?
Because Clinton went and got the warrants necessary within the three day limit.
Ok, maybe I did sleep through that portion of my government class, because I remember the term Interstate Commerce Clause, but after searching through a plain text version of the US Constitution with admendments, I cannot find the term 'interstate' in there. Where does this power actually come from?
Sure the white market will catch up, just like the War on Drugs. I think I'll go stop by the 7-11 on the way home and pick myself up an ounce of smokeables.

Thanks for the info. And thus I learn the error of string searches

Show me a falsifiable claim made by ID. How can you prove that it's not true?
