I love how the focus is on the "you don't own copyright Mike" when that doesn't even matter. People don't need copyright to use other people's works. Why are people so thin skinned about this?
Fox news is not factual. It is entirely crap and biased.
To act like the only other option is to be liberal is also full of shit.
Not everyone is as idiotic as some people in treating everything as "rightist/leftist" and failing to notice that republican/liberal are still both corporatist, which is the real issue.
"I can’t help but think Senator Wyden should put his country’s survival before the needs of his misinformed and misdirected constituents.He should step up and do what is right."
Let's do this out of context for this specific statement:
that's right! he's referring to the misinformed and misdirected ones, who are supporting the protect ip act!
sheesh. "cleaning up the internet". What a joke. Someone teach this crazy guy what "international" means.
you forgot blatant 9/11 comparison, outright denial of fact, and throwing in "but the children", tea party, and acting like this a democrat/republican issue.
When we have gotten to "we will bomb a country that a hacker's IP may be associated with" (which we already have), I think that they will only start to actually do this.
A neutral party (such as NIST), is asked to test a single product, and then the company who takes the results tells everyone the product is safe/certified/etc.
Even if the single product results were 100% safe, they aren't representative of the product since NIST obviously cannot verify from a single test that every one of these scanners is the same as they one they tested OR, additionally, that it's even the same as far as "safety" is concerned.
So I wouldn't consider this negligence, this is a: major budget cuts (single test is much cheaper than safety certification), and b: general idiocy.
Why Napolitano would want to fight for the TSA anyway is the what I would like to know. It pretty much shows a general lack of willingness to improve or even look at an obviously screwed up process, aka a bad manager/bad employee.
good CEO's actually do something, in fact a lot for their companies.
Bad ceo's just make money, give themselves bonuses, and don't do shit to help the company. It's really short sighted, because in addition to giving themselves bonuses, their job incentive is quite literally to help the company. So by not doing so, they are putting their career on the line and the same money that they are seeking to earn for a living.
It's pretty much the definition of cutting off the nose to spite one's face.

Also there's a very, very, very clear thing about this entire thing:
not once have they addressed or even acknowledged the prior restraint issue, as well.
