That hasn't stopped him from vetoing bills to fund the Iraq occupation. Remember, he's still not quite used to the idea that he doesn't own Congress anymore.
Generally, I find it easier to deal with cold than with heat. I can always put more clothes on, but I can't always take more off.
(I'm not sure how widely applicable this is)
I wouldn't even expect it to get that far. I don't think this is even actionable by MRT -- only by the copyright holder. That alone should get the lawsuit dismissed. (IANAL)
Since there are far fewer employers than employees, the employers are perceived as dominant in the labor market, and nobody really thinks they should need any special protection. I expect promoting small business will help fix this.
Your ideas don't make you a troll. The way you express them does.
This is not trolling:
I think patents, trademarks and copyrights are simply fantastic and a primary, necessary driver of the world economy.
This is:
And frankly, without them, most open-source projects would rapidly wither away: without an intellectual property behemoth like Microsoft to fight, what would be the point?
We have a great opportunity here, better than we ever had. It is ours alone to throw away. If we divert our attention away from the TV for ten seconds
I apologize if this sounds too cynical, but I expect that the average voter will just throw the opportunity away and keep watching the TV. This is a case of "I'll believe it when I see it."
Once you've made a name for yourself (i.e. been heard over the noise), sure you'll be searched for and found. On the other hand, it's hard to google for a name you've never heard.
Not necessarily the most, but the monetary threshold for running a serious national campaign is pretty high. Campaigns are done as glorified shouting matches -- if you don't have enough money to be heard through the other noise, you won't get very far. The internet can get you the attention of the younger generation, but what percent of the vote is that?
At least broadcast TV is free; if they can make XM radio virtually ad-free (because I pay for it), why can't they make internet access ad-free if I pay for it?
With broadcast, there is no two-way connection, you just have a receiver. With the internet, everyone has to pay for a connection that lets them send and receive, much like a POTS network. The ads are how other users of the network get the money to pay for their connections.
It's the same here, but it works out to giving you about two and a half seconds to get through the next intersection. Unless you accelerate really quick, you won't make it before it goes red.
Here in Birmingham, US 280 is a prime example of a road in need of proper timing. With lights, it can take an hour to get 8 miles, without, it takes 8 minutes.
On the other hand, there's a stretch of road near here just like that -- when the light you're sitting at turns green, the next light (40 or 50 yards ahead) is about to turn yellow.What's really impressive is that they managed to time it so it works this way in both directions.
I hardly ever use my bike at school. They're not allowed on sidewalks downtown, and the streets are filled with people driving way faster than is safe. That and there's too many hills. Fortunately, most of what I need to get to is within walking distance.
Lesser of two evils, mate. You'll get that from both -- I don't know about you, but I get a heck of a lot more of that from private businesses than from governments.
I'm commenting on it -- if nothing else, at least nobody can tell me, "you should have said something about it." When this goes through, we can say it did so in spite of criticism. In countries where the people believe they live in a democracy, they are rather sensitive about government actions which are contrary to the will of the people.
There's still an unanswered question though: do you feel like you're being punished? I wouldn't -- maybe having fewer prerelease screenings means the newspapers will contain a smaller percentage of talk about movies.

The President himself said it: Mission Accomplished.
That hasn't stopped him from vetoing bills to fund the Iraq occupation. Remember, he's still not quite used to the idea that he doesn't own Congress anymore.

Would the decrease in cold-related deaths be countered by an increase in heat-related deaths?
Actually, I was referring more to what happens when a slashdotter admits to not being an atheist.

We have an operations crew. Not sure what they do most of the time, but they're there.

I'm not sure about creativity, but I'd say having a larger (or second) monitor definitely improves productivity.
I can't even see it when I'm working -- I look at my screen, not at the ceiling.

Here's the important part:
If restrictions were there to protect the material, you wouldn't be able to remove them that way.

Haven't you heard? All decreases in revenue are because of piracy.
