Usually it's called neocon republicans as opposed to fiscal conservatives, the former being the ones that shoot these views and southern IL where this law being made is exactly that.
Although I'm in agreement with the majority of your post I must take exception to your being blinded by your hatred of the republican party.
Last I checked the democrats controlled the IL house by a count of 70 to 48. Also, the IL senate is controlled by the democrats by a count of 37 to 22. And I obviously have no need to mention the governor of the state is a democrat and has been for some time.
So the point is, it's not about democrat or republican when it comes to passing STUPID f'n laws like this, it's about politicians in general trying to drum up votes.
everyone, me included, is sick-and-tired of drivers running red lights, not yellow's;
Really? Because I'm not included in this group because I NEVER see anyone run red lights. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've seen someone run a red in my life. Where is it you people live that you make it out to seem like 50% of the drivers are running red lights?!
my opening statement was more addressing the fact that most print and TV reports on red light cameras discuss only drivers and tickets - never pedestrian safety. Even this article (while only just a news update) only talked about cars and fairness to drivers - no mention of ped safety...
That's because traffic camera's have absolutely nothing to do with safety, pedestrian or otherwise. That's the whole point here.
And who here in this particular situation is "distributing intellectual property without understanding the laws and contracts"?? I'm confused, WTH are you talking about?
Hypothetical: You're a mechanic, I come up to you and say: "My vehicle is electronically speed limited at 55mph from the manufacturer. I routinely drive on highways that have a higher speed limit than that, could you please use your expertise and equipment to remove that restriction from my car's computer?" You say to yourself, sure why not? There are plenty of highways with a speed limit of 65 or 75mph.
Now I drive away and go 75mph on a highway limited at 55mph. BOOM! You get arrested and go to jail because you were caught "modding" cars to do something their manufacturers said they shouldn't do and made profit doing it you evil bastard!
Well unless a new feature of battle.net is a big hand that reaches out of the computer screen and covers the lens of the video camera pointed at it I don't see how battle.net can stop the recording of games.
So the most recent print version of The Onion features the headline "Apple Claims New iPhone Only Visible To Most Loyal Of Customers", which is odd to be on the front page, considering The Onion's Apple-friendly demographic. In fact, I am considering suspending and even canceling my subscription. But, what's more interesting is the question of "How did that make the front page?" All roads lead to Rome, and perhaps they received money from somewhere.
Dude, seriously... Cancel your subscription. You have absolutely NO sense of humor. Oh sure, it's all fun and games until they make fun of your apple fanboism. Get a grip idiot. The rest of your post = tl;dr nor did I care after reading that third paragraph.
