To then go on to talk about a Bill of Rights as some arbitrarily-agreed upon standards is ridiculous and on some level scary, because it implies your humans rights and worth is something up for democratic debate and potentially is yet another chip on the political bargaining table.
You see, here in Canada, we have this "Notwithstanding" clause...
However, if the law DOES allow it, that opens the door for legitimate businesses to manufacture and sell tools to make it easy for educators to copy clips.

Heck, it's only a theory, and would be impossible to enforce in reality, but if nobody say... showered, shaved or brushed their teeth, I bet evolution would eventually bias towards those who were naturally less smelly, or clean-shaven looking. Thus saving everyone half an hour per day or whatever in the future.
Actually, that's what used to happen... and then some smartass thought: "Hey, if I practice good personal hygiene, I'll put myself at an advantage!"
Most EUropean countries have clauses in their laws that instruct the judge to take the price of the good into account when considering what would be a reasonable quality for a product.
So, by this logic, the quality of MS Windows should be expected to be an infinite number of times better than that of Debian Linux.
An autonomous ground vehicle, on the other hand, would need to tackle machine vision problems like discriminating between an actual pedestrian and a picture of human on a bus-stop advertisement.
Right, because it's OK to hit bus-stop advertisements.
While this is true, the rovers must work slowly to avoid destroying themselves, because of the communications delay. If some obstacle presents itself, the human driver on Earth must have enough time to respond, and "enough time" includes signal travel time, both ways. If the human operators were based on Mars, say, then this problem would be mitigated. Also, one Mars base could potentially suffice to control all robotic rovers on Mars.
99% seems an ambitious estimate. 64-bit Flash, for example, is still in testing, and many distributions still do not include it. What about the myriad CPU architectures used in embedded devices? Different browsers? Different operating systems?
Perhaps if it were an open standard, it could be more widely supported, instead of supported only on those platforms selected by Adobe.
Same for Web browsers and web sites, and dozens of other applications. People want the transport layer to substitute for their own judgement and common sense. The Internet doesn't do that, any more than UPS or the USPS do. We don't need a replacement for them, do we?
Not only that - the Internet doesn't require you to download your e-mail during working hours within 3 business days of arrival on the server, or charge exorbitant fees. UPS has been known to do this.
Frankly, this seems like technological overkill to me. Instead, why not just deck yourself out in ceramic and kevlar? Available _now_, less expensive, no power required, and it protects against all bullets, supersonic or no. Better still, a good suit will protect against a stick of dynamite at several metres' distance. Let's see this fancy armour dodge _that_.

Manipulate and control the environment...
Biometrics to connect to user...
I think it's called a "hand".
I disagree with this. While I do believe in the fundamental right to anonymity, it is totally up to the sites owners to make them anonymous or not.
...and whether or not to call them "cowards".

Microsoft should be in deep trouble by now.

The answer to our traffic woes is probably not flying cars, but rather something like trains on defined tracks.
There, fixed that for you.
Microsoft uses a different finger, you know - they won't understand your insult.
Yes, Flash and Java are _definitely_ open standards.
Also, they interact incredibly well with browser functions such as bookmarks and back/forward controls, to name a few.
And it helps to have a common name in real life.
From now on, you may call me Muhammad.

Be thankful that, at least, Google calls their testing versions "beta", not "Sevice Pack n" | n < 2.
Bah. _Real_ geeks write their _own_ kernels.

Harper's new Senators are appointed.
Geode isn't in trouble until Intel comes out with an x86 that doesn't need a heatsink (or at least doesn't need a fan).
The 8086 requires no heatsink.
"It would also prohibit such a phone from being equipped with a means of disabling or silencing the tone."
Well, that's OK; mine doesn't have a built-in soldering iron, either.
Yeah, but then you can't say something like "Never fear, Midnight Commander is here!"
Duh-da-da-daaaa!
