Maybe Microsoft will make it so you can't view information from Windows servers on a non-Windows OS, and on a Windows OS you can't view information from non-Windows servers. I hope I am not giving them any ideas, but I'm confident they are eveil enough to have already thought of this... I hope.
I don't know how to say this any more nicely, "you're wrong." Adobe basically told Microsoft they couldn't support PDF so Microsoft took it out. Microsoft wanted to use PDF.
Think back to Winamp when it was discovered that you could use it to convert DRMed wma tracks. Winamp was remotely patched without the users consent or even knowledge. Why couldn't that be done with other applications?
I don't know how much publicity it gto last time but it was a fair amount seeing as how a Google search for pirate bay raided has tops results being last years story. I'm not saying it hasn't been raided, just that it is an unlikely coincedence.
that tommorrow last year the exact same thing "happened" and it was hoax. I haven't read the article because the server appears to be slashdotted, but it seems awefully suspicious that the same story of TPB being raided by Swedish police shows up again a year later almost to the day.
That fact has always fascinated me. If we could travel faster than the speed of light with a huge telescope we could observe historic events. Thats pretty cool if you ask me.
Actually its not exactly a paradox because the law does not restrict a religion just an action that is part of it, but I'm not denying that it the area is a bit (ok a lot) sticky. That was not my point, my point was that it is not freedom from consequences, it's freedom from censure.
But back to you brought up. Its not black and white and it is hard, but what, to me, seems to be the best solution is to examine the law in question and ask "Is the purpose of this law to restrict religious freedom, or is it simply an unfortunate side effect?" Does that leave a lot of grey and up to those in power? Yes. Is it better than no freedom or complete freedom to do anything in the name of religion? Also, yes in my opinion.
Having used AVG and Avast! I would highly recommend Avast! over AVG. I ran AVG for about 4 months before I discovered I had at least one virus it wasn't catching. I downloaded Avast! and it found that virus and a few others. Also, it does great things even my parents Norton doesn't do such as warn you before you download an infected file. I can't speak to any others because I haven't tried them.
I never said that or anything that requires that, you're jumping to illogical conclusions. I didn't mention religion just speech and press. You can say/publish whatever you like without government censure, but you are not free from consequences if what you said/wrote breaks laws.
Freedom of religion works the same way. You can practice whatever religion you like, and no law can be resricting religion. However, if the Flying Sphaggetti Monster tells me to go do something illegal I am not protected under freedom of religion.
Praying is an obviously religious activity and so no law should be made restricting it, therefore none of what you said could happen to you for praying.
I will probably get modded down for this, but here it goes. Freedom of speech/press had nothing to do with freedom from facing consequences for what you say, but rather freedom from prior censorship. So in the way it was originally intended, you could, for example, publish a book about terrorism without the government inspecting it before it was published. Thats your freedom, not freedom from the consequences of printing such material, whatever they may be.

...They should make better movies.
No I was saying that now that its more confirmed I believe it, just that at first it appeared more likely to be a hoax.

Lawyers are acting like scum!?! I never saw that one coming...
