How many more examples do people need before realizing that giving the state the power to force people into compulsory handing over of their privacy GUARANTEES that privacy, freedom, and security will be lost. Stop with the collectivist/slave mentality. Read the laws for your state regarding cars, you will be surprised to learned that they only apply to commercial activities, not to individuals traveling from point to point.

Not sure if you are attempting humor or showing natural ignorance, but...arms is short form of armaments http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/armaments which means weapons for killing people. So, in the intent of the constitution, all weapons are fair game.

Now, it could be debated that there could be a distinction between arms for defense and Weapons of Genocide (chemical, biological, nuclear, etc.), since WoGs are not used to target specific individuals whereas a bullet is, no matter if shot from a .22 pistol or .50 caliber machine gun.

There's no need to "reinvent laws" to match minor changes in technology, the premise for existing laws remains the same. And yes, your hard drive is your property so they should be required to have a warrant to seize and/or do data analysis on it. If you want a current example of this, look up the court rulings against cops using a FLIR device to read heat signatures on houses suspected of being part of a grow-op (a cannabis grow operation for all you cats not hip enough).

Why should TLDs have a purpose at all should be the first question. They're just arbitrary. Let there be a complete decentralization of the domain name space. It's not like names magically gain integrity by having a current address. If that were the case, .gov should be the picture of piety.

Repress the fuckin' - Repress the people.

The Internet could be different if DARPA didn't do what it did, but neither the concept of networking systems together nor the means of achieving it were by some "divine inspiration" only accessible to those who use coercion to achieve it. Besides, pointing to a "good" done by government doesn't invalidate my point, young pup.

As an amoralist, I couldn't care less about abortion, and as a libertarian I wouldn't stop you or anyone else from having one.

Regarding the flag. If you happen to have an emotional feeling for a piece of cloth, knock yourself out. Such tribalism is below me.

Taxation is Theft. Pure and simple.

I'll leave the statists here to justify their servitude.

Electrical and fire regulations are found at the local level, not Congress. That's why people who are inclined to build things generally choose to do so in the rural areas, since there are very few or no zoning laws.

Luckily there are libertarians who are not in support of the bullshit concept of Imanginary Property.

The Mercantilism of Our Time

There's also the story of how Watts sat on the patent for the steam engine, keeping innovation hindered until the patent ran out. Only then did he begin producing steam engines on a large scale.

Whenever I see such posts by those in the 'Old World' I rack them up as more examples of "Euro-Penis Envy".

I would seem that those who judge us over here in the 'New World' are by stereotypes provided by their media. It would be like me, a Texan, to believe that all British are like the characters portrayed by the show "Little Britain".

That's not correct, business' are not require to provide health insurance for their employees. Employer provided health insurance was born as a reaction against wage controls enacted by FDR. Since employers couldn't pay more to attract employees, they got around it by providing other incentives for people to work for them. Before then, "insurance" was a community based function (e.g. churches pooling resources together for the congregation).

There is O3 Spaces that works with MS Office and OpenOffice.org/Star Office, and has a Free Community edition available.

First off, to answer your question: No Motherfucker, she has no right (ethical or legal) to do this. You created those notes, so their your property. Hell, copyright law would even apply here.

Second, it's a sad state of affairs when these sorts of incidents beg the question if they can be done. Society is becoming a bunch of pussies when so-called authority figures stomp all over ("walk" doesn't convey enough malice) people who then ask timidly, "Was I wrong???" God damn, people need to grow some balls and tell these narcissistic meatheads to go Fuck Themselves 8 Ways to Next Sunday. This goes for everybody with some bullshit title; lawyer, judge, cop, president, teacher, etc.

The pussification of Humanity continues uncontested...
