I think that to retain the protections of a copyright, you should be forced to keep the protected property comercially available. Copyrights are to protect your economic interest in something, not to remove useful ideas or information from the public. So if you don't make it available to the public at market prices, after so long (5 years?) it should devolve into public domain. This would expecially be useful for software. If you don't sell
No oil in Tibet! All about the money! BAH! Somebody want to explain to me how we were/are expected to "liberate" Tibet? Parachute our troops in? Look at a map! In those mountains? How to support them? How to supply them? How to defend against the tens of millions of Chinese infantry? How to evac our wounded? How to support the civilan population while doing this? And what exactly should we do to make the Chinese quit carin
I still believe in Santa! I didn't have a problem with my parents "lying" to me about Santa. I came to understand what Santa really is gradually. When I was young, someone suggested to me that Santa wasn't real, but a spirit. Hmmm, that explained a lot. How he made it everywhere on Christmas Eve, how he got into houses that didn't have chimneys, and so on. As I got older, I came to understand the true nature of this spirit. The real "spi
Hang in there Tex. I don't know the details of what you're up against, but from what I've seen, everyone has the holliday blahs this year.
I'm hoping for an all PA Bowl. Just as long as the Steelers can win out the season to take home field throughout. I don't know if we can take the Pats in Foxborough.
It's probably more than likely that the Eagles and the Patriots will be the ones in the Super Bowl this year. Sorry, can't just let this go by. Why not Pittsburgh? The Steelers have beat them both already. We've waited a long time for the "one for the thumb".<img src="../images/smiles/smile.gif" bord
Good to see ya back, Tex
Hang in there LL. It's a rough job for anyone to see suffering when they care as you do. Just know that what you do makes a difference.
[ Reply #2 By: ParaTed2k - 12/8/2004 2:24:59 AM ... What was the difference??? This was the first time I went through it all without a TV. You just might be on to something there. This is the first year I followed it heavly with the Internet along with the TV.
Reply #1 By: Danny Bassette - 12/8/2004 2:22:09 AM I tend to avoid heated political debates anyways, so I can't say that I've noticed. But I have noticed a more general something or other that sort of sounds like what your describing. Personally I think everyone has gone mad. Which means those of us that we
Welcome aboard!
I don’t know what it is. Post-Election burnout? Emotional overload? Lack of anything compelling in the news? Maybe the Christmas season? Bah Humbug! Can’t be that. Whatever it is, I just can’t find a thing to say about politics right now. Not current events either. I don’t even have any interest in commenting on someone else’s blog. I can’t stand to
Nothing fancy here. It goes back to an old computer game, Civilization. When you started a game, it would fill in a leader’s name for you. One time, it filled in Genghis Khan. So I started deleting the name to put my own in. I got to the “han” and realized that Khan was an anagram for Hank. So I started playing as Genghis Hank. I thought about it. Genghis means “great” doesn’t it? Great Hank! I kind of liked that. I’m the only Hank I
Have to add these two: They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.
Osama Been Forgotten, OK, I pretty much disagree with the whole attitude of this article, but I loved this line. Maybe other's have heard it before, but I haven't. Cute.
I want to thank everyone for taking the time to answer. There's some good food for thought here. It seems that most of you agree that extreme or overly arguementative articles are out? That's fine by me. Reply By: little_whipPosted: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 im drawn by lurid headlines..... <BR
What articles make you want to post in the forums? What types of articles are you most likely to reply to? Articles you agree with? Ones you disagree with? Serious or funny? What categories catch your attention the most? Is a well written article more likely to draw a response, or one that takes an extreme position? Genghis “I wanna be a points whore
Fnord!
Worry when the ACLU goes after the LDS, after all a vast plurality, if not a majority of all boy scout units in the US are at mormon churches. Sorry if this is taking things off topic for a second, but - HUH? OK, it's been 20+ years since I was there, but I don't remember this one. I was in 3 differen
How about "native born american"? Hmmm, have to think about it Still, wouldn't it be better if "American" was enough?
“What are you?” In today’s era of multicultural awareness, you get asked this from time to time. “What is your family? Where do you come from?” You see, everyone must come from somewhere. By answering, you show how you embrace diversity and are a sensitive and caring person. I always answer the same way. “I’
Come home soon Major D!
Yo!
The problem, as I have said before, is that these Congressmen and women represent their constituents. JU is but a small sampling of some constituents. Even our small sampling cannot agree on sacrifices to make...whether long term or short term....everyone has their "pet" programs. I am not so sure it is our Congressmen and women
