That's the crux of the matter. The root cause is that half of Americans are okay with such courts.

Imagine how far a game company could go if it employed only 18 year-olds at minimum wage.

It seems that age is superfluous to your argument.

Good story. It'll be easy to see if the NSA's survelliance programs continue, just check if the parking lot is full at their Utah data center: http://nsa.gov1.info/utah-data-center/

Few people are willing to do what it takes: ostracize everyone who supports it, and boycott the supporting businesses. In WA state a turning point for gay marriage was http://whosigned.org/ : "Coming soon: A Facebook ap

Translation: Obama is getting hammered by wealthy people harmed by the PRISM backlash. He'll consider renaming the surveillance programs.

Which he swore an oath to do, lest he become an enemy of it.

That's me. I need to replace a desktop PC but won't use the current version of Win8 and don't want to pay extra to downgrade to Win7.

Yes, and especially that the US toppled its democracy to install a brutal dictator. The Iran hostage crisis was largely in response to that.

It's a US-only list, so I believe that alternative would work.

US citizens are almost as worthless. Our comments might at least get us on the no-fly list. People find out at the airport that they aren't allowed on the plane. They're not criminals, yet are still forbidden from flying for the r

No point in learning how to code unless you think you can keep your interest level up. If not, take the second path, especially if you can pay someone to code it. If not paying, the idea should be very compelling to a potential partner who

They shouldn't of course. The point being made was that Pandora isn't laughing all the way to the bank.

Yep. We elect bad guys in large part because our democracy is flawed. At a minimum we need approval voting to loosen the stranglehold the two major parties have on us.

The kids should be taught about the Constitution and that they should support and defend it (especially the spirit of it) against all enemies foreign and domestic, even the President. That would mean rejecting any obvious wrongdoing and ign

That's a much more telling stat.

No, I wouldn't either. It's a safe bet that most everyone in the discussion of a mega space project like this one assumes the US gov't will (borrow to) pay for it.

It's easy to not be profitable, though. Just pay large-enough salaries or invest in future growth what otherwise would've been profit.

Let's not forget too that the US toppled 2 democracies and thwarted another.

It's cause & effect. Pledging allegiance to a flag rather than the Constitution promotes a 1984 -like outcome.

Maybe that's for international protection as someone else reported in this thread. It seems that it's only in the US that NASA's works can't be copyrighted.

Great post! For posterity: On #3, change "wats" to wants. On “reason these programs were secret”, looks like unnecessary quotes.

Wonderful. So the US gov't can issue a take-down request for any of its works on the interwebs.

Interesting. I suspect what really happened is that the Zazzle owners feared being put on the no-fly list, or worse.

Yes. However, what's novel is subjective. The patent clerk may not care and has only a few hours to look up prior art. Once you've got the patent you get a jury in Eastern Texas to decide; that's where many of the cases end u

Most possible system/standards are already covered by multiple patents. "A system for electronic transfer of information", for example. I made that up, but there are many super broad patents like that.
