Guy was a crackhead not a terrorist, a man with no plan other than death by cop. If he wanted to shoot up Parliament he wouldn't have shot the soldier.

Nobody would listen to him so he came up with some topical way to make them.

it is my understanding, rightly or not, that you need grub2 for uefi boots my magaeia 4 uses grub and the linux mint uses grub2. grub can't see the mint but grub2 can the mageia.

Why do people keep mentioning winrar in a linux thread, you can't find unrar in your repositories? Winrar is a proprietary package only useful in windows.

Obviously what American people need to do is clone themselves in low tax jurisdictions and have all their earnings paid to their clones. Isn't that effectively what the big corporations do?

They ought to know that after it has all been built out they can just install their friends into the city councils to privatize it all for peanuts.

So if I work for a Jew or Muslim owned company and I get sick from eating bad pork my insurance coverage should be denied? After all eating pork is forbidden by those religions.

Seems to me that by ratifying this Canada can no longer support the extreme measures reported of the TPP. South Korea is apparently interested in joining the negotiations on that deal too. Then again, consistency has never been a politician's friend. Their friends in Big Business rely on the inconsistencies for maximum payouts through lawsuits.

Slashdot poses scenarios to further profile their users to generate more data sales.

Is it just me or does anyone else think this is a bit screwy? What happens to your copyright if you never die or due to medical breakthroughs live for 500 years?
How long before these laws get tweaked so that corporations get lumped in with humans, can they die? Are they like the Borg with smaller companies getting assimilated into the collective and thus never dying for so long as some other company is prepared to buy up the parts still valuable?

Earth rotates, the moon not so much, so while there is a high tide and a low tide in the oceans of the Earth due to the moons orbit, the gravitational pull of the Earth on the moon is always in the same direction. There may well be some stretching in the moon from centripetal forces and indeed there are other forces not being taken into account such as the rotation of the Earth-Moon system around the sun or the Solar system around the Galaxy.

I don't think you know what you are talking about any more than I do. :)

I would hazard a guess that if the core is more liquid than the crust then the Earth's gravity might tend to draw it towards the near side more when it gets hit on that side than the far side. Hits on the far side might be more restrained as there is not as much expansion pressure. Over millions of years the effect could become quite pronounced.

Just talking through my hat, of course, and probably full of it.

I threw it on the fire when we burnt Alexandria.

Can I claim that anything I do on my Ubuntu computer is published by me and thus covered by copyright? I do not own the operating system and the company can access what I do in dash so isn't it like I am publishing my activities to them and their clients? Hit them with a take-down notice.

I admit this thought is not well formulated buy it is the germ of an idea, no?

I never liked Ubuntu from the getgo and like it even less now but I have to admit that it has produced some benefits to the Linux community.

Don't tell me who did it, I want to figure out who killed Laura Palmer all on my own!

What I want to know is when the politician are going to start legislating the con-committal responsibilities that go with these so called "rights." I was taught that being granted rights meant there were a whole range of responsibilities that went with them. Let us come up with a few for Copyright. 1. If a protected work is out of active circulation (new copies promoted for sale in a currently readable format) for 10 years by any distributer who has purchased the right then the copyright returns to the author. If the author (or his heirs or assigns) is unable to offer the work for sale for an additional 10 years the work falls into the public domain. 2. Should a corporation owning copyrights outright through works for hire be guilty of any serious infraction - environmental, securities, labor, etc. - such work are forfeit to the public domain. Settlement of such charges without any admission of guilt shall not be deemed sufficient to avoid the penalty. 3. Format changes must be updated for similar platforms. If the content is electronic then the producer cannot create a new format for the sole purpose of reselling the content. Product support for older formats must be maintained. Other idea or refinements?
