I want a handicapped parking permit so that I can get a good spot right near the Apple Store (what? does any self-respecting geek go to CompUSA these days?)
The Apple store nearest me is in the CompUSA nearest me.
Suppose I paint a painting and sell it. Should the new owner of that painting be entitled to have the painting reproduced and sell posters of it?
I have no objection to finite term restrictions on reproduction/distribution. You would be free to do that now with the Mona Lisa or (looking to my left) Among the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California, 1868, for example.
If someone takes one of your creative endeavors and modifies it in a way that really sucks how would you feel?
"Wow, that sucks!" (laugh)
Seriously, though, I can see one reasonable basis for concern. Suppose (for example), one hacked a copy of "Star Wars" so the Empire were clearly Jews, and the Rebels Christians or Muslims. George Lucas would have grounds for complaint if people, on viewing it, started believing he was an anti-Semite.
In retrospect FDR was one of the greatest traitors and failed leaders in American (or maybe even world) history. You have no farther to look than his unpreparedness and lack of effort in the treaty of versailles negotiations.
In 1918, FDR was Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Perhaps you mean Wilson? And I don't think it was lack of effort, it was the intractable desire for retribution of Lloyd-George and especially Clemenceau. When you're one of four, you can't be blamed for problems with the result that you argued against.
If you don't want to lose control over it, don't sell it to me.
Or how 'bout just stop being a control freak? I have some creative endeavors, and as long as you make it clear you've modified my original, have a ball modifying them.
Note that it's a cut and paste, not a list derived especially for these circumstances. The issue was how Christianity and Christian society have viewed marriage in the past. It's very clear both from the historical record and from attitudes reflected in the Bible that women have been viewed as akin to possessions or at best, second-class citizens, with marriage often being much like a purchase. The modern view of marriage, with its equality and basis in love, is not particularly supported by the Bible.
Given that popular bits like the Commandments come from the Old Testament, and the Old Testament is part of the Bible, I don't think you can truly blithely dismiss all reference to it. Regardless, however, I think it would be hard to deny that the concept of marriage in the Judeo-Christian world has changed (for the better) since OT or even NT times, and that the notion of a love marriage is fairly recent. Watch "Fiddler on the Roof" for an example of the world and thus marriage changing out from under a man.
You might also agree that part of the reason for the change in marriage is because of a change in some ways for the worse: family members are spread out and separated, so those family bonds are looser. Who I married would have been much more important to my parents if we all lived in the same house or compound, worked the same plot of land the (extended) family had worked for generations, etc. If I didn't love my wife, it would matter less if she was just one member of a large household.
1. Marriage consists of one man and one or more women (Gen 4:19, 4:23, 26:34, 28:9, 29:26-30, 30:26, 31:17, 32:22, 36:2, 36:10, 37:2, Ex. 21:10, Judges 8:30, 1 Sam 1:2, 25:43, 27:3, 30:5, 30:18, 2 Sam 2:2, 3:2-5, 1 Chron 3:1-3, 4:5, 8:8, 14:3, 2 Chron 11:21, 13:21, 24:3).
2. Nothing prevents a man from taking on concubines in addition to the wife or wives he may already have (Gen 25:6, Judges 8:31, 2 Sam 5:13, 1 Kings 11:3, 1 Chron 3:9, 2 Chron 11:21, Dan 5:2-3).
3. A man might chose any woman he wants for his wife (Gen 6:2, Deut 21:11), provided only that she is not already another man's wife (Lev 18:14-16, Deut. 22:30) or his [half-]sister (Lev 18:11, 20:17), nor the mother (Lev 20:14) or the sister (Lev 18:18) of a woman who is already his wife. The concept of a woman giving her consent to being married is foreign to the Biblical mindset.
4. If a woman cannot be proven to be a virgin at the time of marriage, she shall be stoned (Deut 22:13-21).
5. A rapist must marry his victim (Ex. 22:16, Deut. 22:28-29) - unless she was already a fiancé, in which case he should be put to death if he raped her in the country, but both of them killed if he raped her in town (Deut. 22:23-27).
6. If a man dies childless, his brother must marry the widow (Gen 38:6-10, Deut 25:5-10, Mark 12:19, Luke 20:28).
7. Women marry the man of their father's choosing (Gen. 24:4, Josh.15:16-17, Judges 1:12-13, 12:9, 21:1, 1 Sam 17:25, 18:19, 1 Kings 2:21, 1 Chron 2:35, Jer 29:6, Dan 11:17).
8. Women are the property of their father until married and their husband after that (Ex. 20:17, 22:17, Deut. 22:24, Mat 22:25).
9. The value of a woman might be approximately seven years' work (Gen 29:14-30).
10. Inter-faith marriages are prohibited (Gen 24:3, 28:1, 28:6, Num 25:1-9, Ezra 9:12, Neh 10:30, 2 Cor 6:14).
11. Divorce is forbidden (Deut 22:19, Matt 5:32, 19:9, Mark 10:9-12, Luke 16:18, Rom 7:2, 1 Cor 7:10-11, 7:39).
12. Better to not get married at all - although marriage is not a sin (Matt 19:10, I Cor 7:1, 7:27-28, 7:32-34, 7:38).
That's not what the original poster meant. He was talking about American people who, when other Americans criticize Bush/Cheney/Iraq policy/Gitmo et al, accuse them of hating America. Ann Coulter comes to mind.
Paperwork requirements? All you have to do is throw the UPC and the rebate receipt into an envolope and mail it on its way.
I did that. I received a response saying I hadn't submitted the UPC. I still have the package with the UPC cut out of it. How do I prove otherwise? How much time and effort do I expend proving that they're lying?
It's not the monetary cost, it's the time cost. Big Mac? Instantly ready to eat. Carrots need peeling and clean up, potatoes need baking, etc. And of course the cost/calorie is higher for fresh veggies.
Fresh produce is cheap if your time is of no value.
How does Sarbanes-Oxley mandate domains and password rules? Although it may be onerous, I haven't seen anything that means it should be that micromanaging.
Just to clear this up, no, the Saturn V plans are on microfiche at Marshall Space Center, there are plenty of records elsewhere, and the Johnson Space Center's Saturn V display is all of what could have been launchable components. The main problem is finding companies to manufacture 1960's spec components, as well as launchpads, etc. having been converted for use with the Space Shuttle.
Are there any decent tools (web-based or otherwise) for giving single point-of-access (particularly, for searching) to multiple auction services? If Amazon zShops could be incorporated, even better.
I just tried it again, and the songs just go back into the order they were.
D'oh! The key is you have to have the very first column selected as the sort column. I was a little boggled that iTunes didn't allow me to order things to my preference.
Actually, Buffett is pretty amazing. Despite his billions, he still lives in the house he bought in 1957 (although he also owns a house in Long Beach he bought at the behest of his late wife.) He drives a 2001 Lincoln Town Car, and his favorite restaurant is a fairly unpretentious one in Omaha. He opposes Bush's tax cuts as being unfairly favorable to the rich. I'm glad he associates with Gates, because I'm hoping it'll rub off on Bill.
He did buy a jet for $1 million, because of all the travelling he does; in an admission of a small feeling of guilt, perhaps, he named it The Indefensible.
A number of my coworkers have iTunes, so we have limited sharing. Does Songbird allow sharing? If so, can I make playlists including their songs? Can it show their album art? Could it connect to someone else's iTunes or vice-versa?
One thing I couldn't figure out how to do in iTunes (granted, I didn't try very hard) was to order a (non-smart) playlist in any order, not just sorting by one of the column headers. Does Songbird allow this?
I like your analogy and agree with your point. That protocol allows people to run open access points and still evict who they want, with a clear indicator of who is not welcome.
If you come to my block party, and you tear down my wallpaper, break furniture, steal my jewelry, take a leak in my pool, and abuse my wife, you'll get prosecuted. A hacker also claims to be someone they aren't, so there's fraud involved.
But they have a finite number of operators and you could be making the last one busy.
The emergency services have set up this system where 911 is the portal for all level of issues. It's the responsibility of the 911 operators to make sure there's always a free line for urgent situations. Heck, with current technology it should be possible for 911 to "fall-over" to other regions' operators if there are too many calls in one region, with tech to allow (say) Cleveland's operators to send out EMTs from the correct station in Dayton if they get a fallover call.
It's possible for even that to be overwhelmed, but that's probably a Katrina or 9/11 situation.

You're right!
12 Biblical Principles of Marriage
1. Marriage consists of one man and one or more women (Gen 4:19, 4:23, 26:34, 28:9, 29:26-30, 30:26, 31:17, 32:22, 36:2, 36:10, 37:2, Ex. 21:10, Judges 8:30, 1 Sam 1:2, 25:43, 27:3, 30:5, 30:18, 2 Sam 2:2, 3:2-5, 1 Chron 3:1-3, 4:5, 8:8, 14:3, 2 Chron 11:21, 13:21, 24:3).
