There were no cuts on his knuckles.

There was a small abrasion in the ring area between knuckles.

SYG had no more to do with this case than did Maritime Law just because it was raining that night.

Florida 776, their Justifiable Use of Force law, has several sections, a couple of which (776.012 and 776.013) get into SYG, but the immunity section (776.032), which was what prevented the police from arresting him absent evidence that it was not a case of self-defense, is separate from the SYG sections and not dependent on them.

The argument for a "not guilty because he was acting in self-defense" verdict in his trial was exactly the same as if the SYG provisions had never been incorporated into Florida's law.

And if Martin had been white, the media would have made Zimmerman Hispanic right away.

The MIRACLE of legacy .DLL code!

Next Stop? Linux NT! Hooray!

BTW. This thread is dominated by a bunch of humor challenged sour-pusses. They'd NEVER have survived at Berkeley Computer Labs if the idea of "funny" began and ended with recursion jokes.

300? I think you are stretching definition of "property" to meet your ideology.

You will never see a black man upheld by SYG. No in the south. Not in KKKUSA. Never.

I remember Bobby Seale. I remember Huey.

Much like Windows 3.11 the GUI in GUN/Linux isn't a core part of the OS - but a graphics server with window managers on top and all the real work being done by the OS under the manager.

That is true, but the similarity doesn't go much further than that. If you look at the capabilities of the OS underneath, there is a major difference between Linux and DOS. (Even to this day some of the limitations inherited from DOS are still found in modern Windows versions. The last Windows user I came across wasn't able to open a command line window more than 80 characters wide.)

Imagine same situation with a black Zimmerman and a white Martin.

Case closed in less than 60 seconds.

Instead, the jury just announced it is "open season" on young black males, if there'd been any doubt...

We're up all night for good fun.

We're up all night to get lucky.

Just eat a sammich, Girl!

If inequality is the engine of progress, then you should live under Hitler or Pol Pot, with equanimity.

You will find, on only casual study, that excessive patent term extension kills progress, innovation and discovery - leading only to extractive rent-taking.
In the current, modern economy, wealth is created through POLICY. Not through innate virtue, or luck of evolutionary/social chances.

"Intellectual Property" was not even a term in the language 25 years ago. Extension - into near perpetuity - of copyright and patent protections is a perversion of policy to grant "intellectual" fiefdom.

All this article advocates is the removal of artificially created policy constraints, that grant near-feudal extraction concessions to those already privileged and benefiting.

I dimly remember that whole affair. HST? Certainly!

"Elite" access to BBS and the lot...
