Not at all. You can do plenty about it. The problem was ultimately about whether the information was admissable in court. In any case the Washington Supreme Court did not rule on banning parental telephone eavesdropping as you have stated. They upheld both federal and state laws. Go read the court decision, federal, and state statutes yourself. It's public infor
Stealing is stealing. Regardless of what any of us think about the RIAA or the MPAA, its the artist who ultimately pay for the theft of their IP. I sincerely hope that with the evolution of the technologies associated with the recording industries there will come the day when the RIAA and the MPAA will be nothing more than memories. Sure, the power/greed mindset will ha
the people who can afford the movies should go buy it, for us people who cannot, we can download it online. what seems to be the problem? if they're making enough money selling their movies then they shouldnt worry about us downloading them. they should only be worried if they're not, and if they're not its probally because the price is too high. <b
After SEGA , Take Two , and ESPN threatened EA 's stranglehold its Madden NFL series held on the football game market, EA did what any competition-loving corporation would do and bought exclusive licensing rights to everything NFL . Wha
America love it or leave it is back. Full circle from Nixon to Bush. Who said that? This thread's about how some people are leaving the US because they support diversity, freedom, and tolerance so much, that if the US is diverse with many political beliefs, tolerant of beliefs opposing theirs, and full of freedom to practice such belief, they w
I'd die for anybody, except bad people that only hurt others.
When you think about it, reckless driving should not be against the law, as it doesn't necessarily lead to an accident. It merely increases the likelihood of one.
Let's try this another way. What if somebody (we'll use Bill Gates because he's rich and fun to pick on) decided to rid the world of Beatles music. He goes out and buys the rights to all the Beatles songs and locks them away. Nobody can ever sing them again, record them again, listen to them again. All gone! Anyone who tries can be arrested for IP theft. Is this in the pub
Because their property is sold at a much to high prise. If it's too high, it wouldn't sell, but it does, so it clearly isn't. It might be too high for you, but the price of a Porsche is too high for me. Does that mean the government should force the manufacturer to lower the price of Porsches since I can't afford one? Are you suggesting th
Has some one been punished lately? No, but aren't there laws against spanking others against their will, forcing another to stay in a room against their will, taking away somebody else's property, etc.? Unless they make specific exceptions for parents, the right thing is to make it illegal for parents to ground, spank, or take toys away fr
Rainforest are a good thing and I'm saddened that they are being cut down. What is wrong though is for industrialised nations like the US to expect Brazilian rainforests to remove their CO2 emissions, rather than planting their own forest or cutting down their own emissions. It's so two faced. "How dare you cut down down your rainforests, we need them so we can p
What's wrong with protecting their own property from freeloaders?
Maybe I listened to the wrong people (environmentalists), but I always thought rainforests as a good thing and deforesting as a bad thing, and if Brazil is the one cutting down their rainforests, doesn't that make them the one responsible for the damage such an action would do? Also, what about the animals in these rainforests? Are the environmentalists just deciding that animals are no longer as important as industry?
I think that to retain the protections of a copyright, you should be forced to keep the protected property comercially available. Copyrights are to protect your economic interest in something, not to remove useful ideas or information from the public. So if you don't make it available to the public at market prices, after so long (5 years?) it should devolve into public
It means that I am not going to fall for your argument. I said nothing blaming the US for the failures of Kyoto. I find fault with our policy of backing completely out of Kyoto with the idea that it cannot be fixed. I don't blame the US, I find fault with those who made the policy. So, if you're in no way blaming the US backing out of the Kyoto Protoco
That doesn't sound like objective science to me. It doesn't sound like science at all. I'm no super genius, but the scientists I know of study what they can observe, and formulate hypotheses based on their observations, which will become theories with enough experimentation. I'd really like to see the science journal in which scientists prove that no supernatural being whatsoever exists using the scientific method, but I'm positive there isn't one. Why? For one, the sup
Although one might disagree with the manager, it is a private gallery, and as such, he is not required to show anything he deems unfit for show. If people want to display such paintings, they could open their own art galleries. Savido has to understand that he can't force the owner of the property to display that painting against his will , but his response shows he doesn't understand that.
Wow, so we've gone from saying the US didn't do enough to make Kyoto viable to saying its the US's fault for the problems of Kyoto and that opposition to just throwing out Kyoto is hating the US. And the right thinks that the left comes up with conspiracies. You see hate in everything. Explain yoursel
The US just throwing it out entirely instead of trying to fix it, shortsighted. So, it's the US' fault that the Kyoto Protocol is being used to justify huge deforesting?
And to think that the US is the bad guy for not supporting the Kyoto Protocol and its pro-forest destruction stance.
Are there laws that say that you can't force a person to stay in a single room or a single place, even if only for ten minutes? Or a law that says you can't spank a person without their consent, or take their belongings away without their consent? I hope they start applying that to parents and lock them up.
I doubt the game card issue will be much of an issue. I actually think it will benefit Nintendo, because although the UMDs could hold much more, the game cards can supposedly reach at least .5 GB of memory (I'm not sure if it's possible yet) and the game cards also don't suffer from load times, which I think is unforgivable in the portable realm. What I fear is that they'll make the same mistakes as SEGA, with two handhelds, too many ports, and being too stubborn to get with the times (i.e.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think this is a plan by the Enlightened Government to take control of the lives of the children from the country bumpkin parents who know nothing about parenting. (This actually sounded more serious than I hoped, so I'll add something of substance...) I don't understand why so many people want to make parenting harder than it already it is, and for what? To tell children that parents have no control over them?
It also costs money to buy the necessary supplies/equipment, hire people, and keep everything working. Plus the extra time it takes in court to decide whether or not to use the death penalty. Plus, what if he didn't commit the crime? So many people have been killed and then later been found innocent. It costs money to keep anyone in jail. Why don't we just kill everyone?</
When you say it like that, it sounds more humane to put him to death than to force him to suffer a lifetime of isolated misery. That's why I think it's appropriate to put him to death.
