Theirs is not the only system that needs replacing/overhaul. Dual party systems also lead to human rights abuse. The message that a two party system is a "democracy" (or "republic" if you want to ride the irrelevant semantics bandwagon) is pure propaganda.
Nobody is going to brute force my randomly generated 63 character alphanumeric key. Not before a vulnerability in the encryption appears or the hardware gets replaced with a new standard
No, I just figured he'd develop a web server using tools that weren't MS tools for an OS that wasn't a MS OS. If he wanted to spite them, at least. If I was in the business/hobby of making turbo mods for cars, and I hated Ford, I wouldn't make turbo mods solely for Ford cars
Sorry, it's more like someone going into people's homes while they're out if they left a door unlocked. It's trespass, it's an invasion of privacy, but there are no grounds for claiming that the person caused massive damage just by entering or leaving a note on the table. And if it's a business, bank or government building, whoever was responsible for security should get in more trouble for the intrusion than the person who committed an act of trespass.
While it may be technically accurate that ebook apps are rising in popularity, I don't think that developers releasing more ebook apps (likely to be more individual books released as apps than app readers) translates to it being popular for users. For one, it is probably relatively easy for publishers to recycle some code to wrap around books they publish and release them as apps in the app store. Making unique games for a somewhat different platform in terms of IO and UI would be more difficult. If anything it just means that the traditional content owners have been moving in on the iphone as yet another platform for releasing their content on to.
Yeah, I RTA, saw the image of an asteroid that was apparently about 60km long, with the text "The Apophis asteroid is approximately the size of two-and-a-half football fields" and I suddenly had a whole lot more respect for US football.
Also, what patents (should cover) are practical, while what is copyrighted (should) contribute to culture. And there's no "fair use" equivalent for patents, not that I'd know how such would be possible.
I wasn't aware that either side was for the killing of babies. Unless you're Maddox. And as far as voluntary temporary chemical sterilization goes, my own life has seen how bad some people who choose to be parents can be at parenting. I can only imagine how bad some unwilling parents may be at parenting.
Seriously, reading that 'article', while they make a decent point, pretty much every human activity as it stands results in CO2 emissions. Extracting and refining the materials to build equipment to harvest renewable sources of energy? CO2 emissions. Transporting and installing equipment? CO2 emissions. From the 'article':
If you ignore the vehicles that the workers use to get to work, the reactor does not produce any CO2
I guess we're also ignoring the fact that the workers breathe and engage in other activities in living that emit CO2.
Nuclear energy couldn't possibly be made less carbon intensive, making solar panels involves toxic chemicals, wind turbines kill rare birds/bats, etc. Some people seriously won't ever be happy unless we rid the world of humanity.
The one right that a US citizen has that is often neglected, is the right to revolt.
That's one right that isn't written down anywhere. Which raises the truth of rights: rights do not exist intrinsically beyond the willingness of people to fight for and to enforce a right. Your constitution is meaningless beyond a set of recommendations unless a majority of your population forces it to be enforced
Does your PC manufacturer lock down your system so that the only way you can add functionality is either through a method controlled by them or by a method they claim is illegal?
The economy has hit green energy technologies hard, but technologies focused on energy efficiency and clean coal are still attracting money
Green energy technologies are generally expensive niche products. Ignoring nuclear power because of controversy, green electricity generally isn't generated on a comparable scale to old fossil fuel power. It likely could be. Pouring money and research into it would make it more feasible.
Clean coal isn't green energy. "Clean" coal attracts money because rationalising it as clean coal helps maintain the entrenched coal generated electricity industry at the expense of the promotion and development of potential competitors. Entrenched industries lobby more effectively than emerging competition.
And improving energy efficiency isn't about green energy at all, it's about reducing energy usage whether its green or not. It doesn't threaten any industry and all it requires of existing production is research and maybe some slight retooling.
From what I've seen the majority of voters persistently vote for whichever party their family has always voted for. Most of the remainder of the voters pick out of whatever parties or candidates get positive or neutral media coverage.
Considering how polar issues have been portrayed for the convenience of sound bites, politicians tend to have to be perceived as being the whole "tough on [issue x,y,etc]" deal. They don't want to be sympathisers of criminals/terrorists/child molesters/etc now do they?
what's truly amazing is that the toddler was also apparently able to read, understand, and accept Windows Live's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. (But minors can't legally execute contracts, can they?)
What's with this? Seriously, who the hell takes the time to read these things every time they're presented with one? What an unnecessarily snarky summary
I'd consider freeloading to be a synonym of copyright infringement. Perhaps if you infringe someone's copyright by selling their works and making a profit that they never see it could be considered theft. That's probably why in the days before the internet infringement for private purposes was pretty much left alone while large for-profit piracy attracted massive fines and/or jail time.

If I were a paranoid person I wouldn't bother with the installing, formatting and reinstalling. I'd just use a livecd

I don't know how writing a web server that requires a Microsoft OS exactly hits them "where it hurts"
"iPhone App Store Reject Stories Find a Home". Actual rejected apps are not available there, nor necessarily anywhere else.
I thought that could be done by printing on regular toilet paper.
Or are you suggesting that you'd wipe your ass on the same OLED ply hundreds of thousands of times? That's... really unhygienic and gross, man.

That case was about whether you could transfer/resell your license under the first-sale doctrine, not whether you owned the software itself
I believe with South America being the beard the US was the head/face.
In which case, refer to this

Yeah, lets do away with the judiciary and have mob rule and vigilantism instead. Except those two generally have worse outcomes.

Providers here bend you over with excess data usage charges, which you may be less likely to encounter if you didn't use tethering.
I remember ad-free pay-for-TV. It was good, but then they added ads and kept the pay-for.
