There are a lot of bad bus systems in the world. However that isn't the fault of the but. There some great bus systems proving it can be done.

Trains are nice, but the common bus is the workhorse of all transit systems in the world (or almost all - I know of no exception but I don't know everything). For most people a simple frequent bus and useful bus routes/transfers would solve most of their transportation needs. Trains are useful for the core trunks that have a lot of people on them (which also need to be the places roads get too congested for a bus anyway)

Will they allow building good alternatives or find reasons to also oppose building them? HSR would compete well in many more markets, but it needs a lot of political support to get it built.

3 homemade tractors that my mom's uncle made before he died (IIRC in 1984). 1.5, 3, and 12 horsepower, so not really useful machines for any work, but they have meaning. If anyone comes across a "Pearl" tractor let me know, there are about a dozen out there (if not scrapped) that he made and I want the rest.

He also set precedence. A few more cases like this can the cost of going to court becomes cheaper for everyone.

That is part of what a phd can argue about....

I would argue that the registration cost is just a tax and you own it. But remember I'm arguing as a philosopher and not someone who can't see both sides or even thinks there needs to be one correct side.

You can/should write your congressman (or equivalent in your country). Just the threat that if OSS can't use HDMI congress will open up the laws will get action. In a democracy voters have more power than big money when they care and vote like it.

The city of LA should not get a .com name. They might have a case that la.com should not have a .com either (they look like a tourist .org though if they are not acting like a .org they are scammers) - but this would be a very hard sell in court. The city of LA should have a .gov (which won't allow them) or .us (which is not organized well - something they should be mad about and pressure to get fixed) name.

Why not? You can't hold it, but why should that be a limit?

Note, phd's can easially be written on this subject defending either side. Some of those will say things like domains are not generally property, but for some situations we should treat them like property and in other situations not. I'm not expecting a response. I'm expecting everyone to think about the question.

He only adopted the moniker after failing to get Lamborghini to pay the very high price he wanted for the domain. If he wanted the domain to adopt the moniker he wouldn't have tried to sell the domain in the first place.

I will defend anyone when they are in the right, even if I otherwise hate them. I require proper due process for murders and other criminals who have done worse things that large corporations (most large corporations have committed murder - or at least not done it in a way that I can prove beyond any shadow of doubt)

if we are going to capitalism

Nobody is for capitalism, except as a derivative of classical liberalism. Capitalism might be useful as a tool in economics, but so is the "spherical cow" useful in physics - you can learn a lot but need to be careful as it doesn't apply to the real world.

Since nobody is going full capitalist we can ask what liberalism things - and that is a branch of philosophy much more complex than just pure economics. In this case Lamborghini is entitled to their property, which we know is their property because the Lambo guy was acting like it was - in many other domain cases there is at least some doubt.
