Issues are never as complicated as people make them out to be. Why do you think it's so involved? An unconstitutional law(probably written with somewhat good intents) has enabled corporations to persecute legitimate activities(Felten's research) done in the public interest, and to persecute foreigners who did not even break this law while in the US(DeCSS case, Skylarov). This law extends government influence further than reasonably permitted. What's so complicated about that?

Basic rights and freedoms as spelled out in the constitution, fairness to everyone's interests (individuals, organizations and corporations), and many others I could think of were I inclined to actually spend time to spell them out for you(and which you could come up with on your own if you actually gave it a little thought).

that it is human nature to develop ever-better tools, and to apply those ever-better tools to the task of killing things. This isn't hyperbole; it's fact. Every time we invent something new, it's only a matter of time before someone looks into how to use it for military purposes.
Saying the 6 billion people of this earth are simply inventive killers by nature is a pretty big generalization. It's so incredible that you actually made this claim in fact, that I think you're trying to pull a fast on one me. Perhaps you mean to say something else?;-) In any case, I think you'll find that most of the destruction is perpetrated and perpetuated by a very small minority of the aforementioned population of earth.

No, elite is just misspelled(phonetic spelling is the same though) as eleet -> 31337. The numbers kind of look like the letters, but slightly mangled. 5 = S and I can't think of the other ones off hand.
Or Microsoft could end up saying stuff like, "look, Ximian went under as a company selling and developing free software. We tried to help them out with by contributing, but it cost us $X and what was our return? $0. Free software is bad for business, and we just proved it." How's that for a conspiracy theory? Then again, Microsoft may just want.NET to run on as many platforms as possible. But if it fails, there's always that to cover there asses. Really a no lose situation for MS.
If by "they" you mean americans, then yes. If you mean everybody else, then "humour" is the correct spelling.

I'm sorry, who are you arguing with in this comment? I didn't comment on any of this, nor did I produce my own opinion on this matter or anything else. I merely stated some factual observations and came to a logical conclusion which countered a statement made by the previous poster. I don't see any of that in your comment so I'm at a bit of a loss to what you're trying to accomplish. Are you just ranting for the sake of hearing your own voice, or are you actually trying to say I was wrong about something? If the latter, could you be a bit clearer please?
Perhaps you were just trying to make a point that environmentalists' ideas are a bit strange?

Car manufacturers could easily make a 1-seat convertible with a measily engine and a 3 gallon gas tank that has ceramic flowers all over it. Is this a useful vehicle?
I think you're forgetting something: cars are always useful to get places you want to go. As long as they do that, it doesn't matter what else you put on it, if it can still get you places, then it's still useful.

The effects you're talking about constitute, in the words of Carl Sagan, "extraordinary claims." Do you really think it's unreasonable for us to demand "extraordinary proof" to go along with them?
Of course. To be honest, I don't even care about whether global warming exists; that isn't my main concern. Let me put it this way: in the city where I live, we have daily smog warnings and air quality readings are given with the daily weather. It has been estimated that about 100 people will die due to poor air quality caused by smog(based on the number of people last year and the amount the air qaulity has declined since then, etc.).
Now, when you cannot safely breathe the very air outside your home and people warn you not to do any strenuous work because you may collapse from lack of oxygen, you have a serious problem, regardless of whether global warming exists. Local air quality is not a global threat for sure, but a large percentage of America's population lives and works in urban areas.That means it is a big problem for that majority.

I respect someone willing to stand up for his beliefs much more than I respect someone who does what will get him $, justifying along the way.
Logically then, you would respect the person who believes in the relentless pursuit of money. After all, money as an end in itself is his belief and he's standing up for it. Perhaps you meant you respect someone that stands up for your beliefs.
So she doesn't want money but an apology? If it's a matter of morals, why waste the peoples time and money with this bs, just move along to another provider, unless she has a vendetta which is not written going on against the provider.
I would totally prefer an apology from Ted Rogers. The way I see it, the purpose of the apology is to ensure that someone high up enough in the corporate hierarchy is made aware of the problem(ie. sufficiently embarassed by it) and make a change.
