They're one of the evil (and stupid) triplets: lawyers, doctors, and accountants.

oh, right, those things written in private by the corporations ...
In private?!? This is the United States Trade Representative, the President of The United States' right hand man! What are you talking about, "private."
Why're you blaming corporations for this? Grr ...
[I don't actually know how you're expected to respond to this if you do. No matter. I may have bugs up my butt about both corporations and politicos. Yup, that's it.]
I just spent about five minutes trying to figure out which of these idiots first said, "The government here is playing by the book." Crap. Now that I know it's you, I know I'm wasting my time.
TD, Slashdot (may it rest in peace) had "Goto Parent" buttons which were quite useful. Just a suggestion.
... Equals "can't use a search engine." I hope your mother's proud. I prefer ixquick.com, but that may be too technical for you to handle, sorry. Ask your mom.
But it seems an absolute travesty of concepts like due process for the government to be able to take all of his money and stuff based on purely procedural reasons having to do with a separate criminal case that hasn't even been tried yet.
... Leaving him begging a judge for a few million just to assemble the requisite legal team to attempt to defend himself.

Re: Re: Re: Treaty obligations vs Constitutional Obligations
So, you are counting on a reasonable tribunal system.
Didn't that work well with the FISA courts. I think what they get out of it is privacy, (eg.) from millions of Canadian taxpayers who don't even know they're on the hook for billions (trillions?) because Canada thinks Eli Lilly's attempting to manipulate the patent system. We the public can be so bloody noisy and distracting with all our calls for transparency and oversight! Sigh.
The guy has won and lost and won and lost fortune after fortune, including NY real estate and Taj Mahal casinos in NJ, and hosted TV, and played at being a mouthy wannabe politician/statesman. I've never understood how he gets away with it or why anybody cares what he says. There's never been any there there. He's just an imitation European nobility in USA. An entertainer mostly based around gossip.
Who said anything about daily basis? I'm talking about taking my technical library; hundreds of technical reference books, each is only used sporadically dependent upon what I'm doing. I'm a geek. I'd love to have that at my fingertips.
I'd also like a Nokia N-800 Linux box in my shirt pocket running Cyanogen, while I'm asking. Sad I missed that.
There's lots of stuff going on up here over C-51 (our PATRIOT Act in the works). So far, so good. Remember, our military may be armed with napkins and toothpicks, but we'll still kick your asses all the way to Sunday. [Thanks John F. :-)]
I don't own an e-reader and never have. However, I have lived through ages of devices, so I know what licencing vs. purchasing and ownership vs. rental are.
If it's my box that I legally own, it should be under my control.
The blistering controversy here about rooting vs. jailbreaking is just noise. I consider it honorable to leave your stuff up right or wrong. "Sure, see what I did. Note the "Update:" at the end of the article."
Meh. Don't believe anything you read on the web, isn't that the old saw?
The fact that your gov't and its institutions are no longer under control (if they ever were) is not my problem (yet). It's yours. Our problem (outside the USA) is that our governments are falling into the USA's trap and helping it get away with such travesties. That makes me angry. We don't need to be part of Five-eyes. Every minute we are just makes us look like valid targets for your many enemies. I don't recall any of our elected representatives campaigning on the many wonderful benefits of becoming a vassal state of The New Roman Republic.
The fact that the NSA is screwing over US citizens as well at the same time is tragic, but irrelevant for us. You've allowed it to happen to yourselves, and it's none of our business to interfere. All I want for us is to cut off that diseased limb (our gov't helping yours) so it doesn't end up killing us.
He's a petty tyrant, he doesn't understand what "elected by the people to govern, or run the government" means, and I suspect he slept through all his history classes. "L'etat, c'est moi!" "Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?" Our existence is tolerated so long as we pay the bills. Democracy is doomed so long as the electorate continues to fall for BS like him.
I'd prefer to just shoot the politicians and lawyers who let them get away with this. I'd love to be able to carry around my $10,000.00 worth of books with me everywhere I go, but that's infeasible. An e-reader could let me do that, but Amazon won't let me. Why? Because they insist I remain in their walled garden, ignoring my personal reasons for purchasing it.
I resent their intention to interfere with my personal affairs which are none of their damned business.
