I did that. It got me arrested. :(

Did you even read the article? One of the examples is young people taking pictures of themselves, which makes them child pornographers in the eyes of the law. Is that reasonable? How is that in any way exploitation?

And to discourage anyone else thinging of starting a leak site.

Since ATI and NVidia don't seem to be listening, couldn't this be included in something like the open source Noveau drivers? I know the 3D is still seriously lacking, but hopefully, some day, they will be up to speed and then adding something like what you suggested should be relatively simple, right?

Rick Falkvinge comments. It seems CETA was written sometime in february when ACTA looked like a done deal, so it is natural that it contains the same language. But it is true that we can expect the European commission to try to bring ACTA in through the back door, so we should keep our eyes open.

The N900 has a much preciser screen than any capacitive I've yet to try. Though I admit, I have never used a capacitive screen with a stylus. To me, the N900 resistive screen is way better, precisely because it can correctly interpreting me pointing with a nail, which is orders of magnitude more precise than if I would have to use my fingertip.

The other things I can agree on, most of them natural since the N900 is already many years old.

You are right. You have to wait 10 turns before you can declare war again after making peace.

This is only true if the market absorbes all the lemonade you are collectively able to produce. If not, then you lower your prices in order to attract the customers (and thus not have to take your unsold lemonade back home when the day is over), which creates competition on price.

Of course, the oil market absorbs all it is given, so in this context, you are right.

Name a better way. I'm all ears.

Usually I'm not a fan of taxation, but in this particular case I think some government regulation is just what the doctor prescribed.

Absolutely. I'm a finn and I intend to submit my idea for an intellectual property tax (that I linked to in another story a few weeks ago) once this project is online

That must be why nobody cares to steal them... Oh, wait!

Thank you! This is almost exactly my idea, with only some small variations in how to ensure companies report an honest value for their IP. Nice to know someone else has been into the same lines of thought. And someone from Berkeley, no less!

Now on to getting the idea into law. Should be a small matter...
