As far as theories of law are concerned, philosophers of law generally fall into two categories, those who follow the letter of the law written in the books and those who say that law is something more central than the letter and makes many laws unlawful. I think the techies generally fall into the latter category and that's why I like them and/. As techies we may not know the letter but we definately know law.
I thought that Jon was only ignorant of things related to computers, I guess I was wrong. He also seems to just have been brainwashed by society's view of "religion is bad" , "oh no, if we let the 'christians' do what they want, the whole world will be forced into their 'narrow minded' view." I invite Mr. Katz to take an honest look at what Christianity has to say and if he needs any pointers, he can e-mail me or for starters he could take a look at www.firstthings.com and see what some of the "religious" intellectuals have to say on many issues in public life. I doubt our little media clone has the guts/brains to truly look at a lot of the issues.
As with any group of people, many people who call themselves "christians" take very selfish, hateful, intolerant stances. But any thinking person they would realize that a few people within a group don't reflect the group as a whole and it is unwise as well as inappropriate to make such a hasty generalization.
Being a christian, I'm still a skeptic and I'm still fairly libertarian. Jon needs a place to vent it seems and this time he's chosen christianity. That's unfortunate.

I think everyone should relax a little, you guys are all way too serious. When this sort of thing becomes commonplace, then start whining and complaining about it, until then, why don't we just see how it goes and if you want to, take part in it, and if you don't, don't.
Usually right after I say the word "french", I like to spit.

couldn't this be perceived as torture to the machine which would contain human thoughts and perceptions without any way to express them?
