Be quiet. The fact is that Linux would be a more popular OS if people could get more things on it, that need DRM or actually, that studios want to use DRM on.
Good question.... that is an argument that has never been made in a court of law thus far, that doing this stuff might be in violation of wiretapping laws.
The colleges aren't allowed to 'eavesdrop' on your phone conversations just because you are using their phones.... why should this be any different?
Ah, but the Arizona law forgets that ONLY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT may make any law related IN ANY FASHION to immigration or immigration enforcement according to the Constitution.
Basically, the localities and even states don't have the right to 'copy federal law' in this case because the Constitution says that they cannot.
Microsoft is NOT making their software secure, but rather covering up or trying to patch design deficiencies (some of which come from Microsoft's "Run Anything on our OS!" point of view) with their OWN offering.
There is some argument to say that since Microsoft knows where the holes are AND has the source code, they are better able than say.... Symantec to be able to offer solutions that use less memory and CPU power.
Making an example or 'sending a message to others' is not supposed to have any part in our criminal justice system. It is supposed to be about the CRIME YOU DID, not the crime that someone else might commit in the goddamned future.
True. It's at this point that the whole 'overthrow of a tyrannical government' becomes just even according to our own Founding Fathers in the United States.
Punishments are not to deter crime. They are supposed to fulfill societies right to 'justice'. Even the Founding Fathers said that our prison system was supposed to be about REHABILITATION of 'criminals', not deterrence.
Not his problem. I've double posted before, it's just a matter of hitting submit twice because you think you didn't hit it right the first time and BOOM! Double posting.
Re: No gov't official gets rewarded for showing sense.
Unfortunately, true in England and the United States today. The fact is that our 'justice system' has been moving away from serving justice and instead, giving people ridiculous sentences for challenging the 'elite' and corporations for the past 20 years or more.
Re: Re: Re: I have no problems with the Revenue Generation
Good point, Any Mouse. My one relative was a smoker, and he died from an illness today UNRELATED to smoking, and the doctor still tried to put on his autopsy (he had one because it was an illness that most don't die from) that it was 'smoking related' until his relatives made a big stink about it.
That is actually true. The local police are NOT suppose to enforce federal law. If they find someone doing something wrong AND is also illegal under state law, then they can contact the feds and the person can be tried for the crime in question both in state and federal court.
If something isn't illegal under state law that they find someone doing? They are just supposed to contact the feds and let them handle it, if they even wish to.
Wrong. The fact is that our Founding Fathers said numerous times that Jury Nullification IS a means for a jury to refuse to uphold a law that is unconstitutional or otherwise wrong in their opinion.
They do have to be in use or you lose them after a certain amount of time. The problem is that 'in use' is a very vague legal concept when it comes down to it.
This is absolute stupidity. I could state some of my views on this and the child pornography laws in general, but I would probably get banned for doing so.
I will be blunt here: children are MORE than able to protect themselves from sexual encounters with adults that they don't want, simply by yelling and screaming for someone if they don't want the sexual encounter.
There is no reason to wait even two WEEKS after the so-called 'abuse', and at that point I think it's more a case of 'fucker's remorse' where the child was willingly involved in a sexual interaction with someone or allowed nude pictures to be taken of them, and wants 'revenge' on the person in question.
Actually, in a lot of these AP classes today, they are open book and open notes. There was a lot of complaint from the parents of children who were intelligent enough for these classes, but had poor memories, so in our school 12 years ago they switched to open book everything.

In my hometown in the United States, speeding over 10 miles over the speed limit is a felony.
I know MANY people who do that, so yes.... they are committing a felony.
