The Internet is for Porn

The immortal words of GOB Bluth, https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

It always shocks me how many people can remain detached from their desires when confronted with the actual evidence that children are actually physically molested and yet no physical punishment occurs to the perpetrator beyond jail time. Or, better spoken, why WOULDN'T you want to put a bullet through the brain of a serial pedophile? Maybe you need to be able to think if it was YOUR kid that happened to. Maybe if it happened to YOU. Then you can ask why wouldn't the desire to become a vigilante be natural?

It must be the norm, given the problem the UK had with immigrants grooming underage girls, progressing to basically making sex slaves of them, which affected hundreds of girls, and was ignored for a year because the police didn't want to accuse immigrants of crimes: it's still happening. Oh, the police are finally policing, after the scandal broke, but the problem hasn't been solved. This is exactly the sort of situation where I'd expect vigilante justice:a heinous crime, and the police not helping.

But do realize that's not the norm for pedophiles and molested kids. Almost always, when a kid is molested it's a relative. Vigilante justice is less appealing in that case, except perhaps to the kid.

I say "bravo!" for the Chrome team. Their results are significantly better than the prior test.

in the last test, Edge lasted 70% longer than Chrome. see https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

in this test, four months later, the laptop with Edge lasted only 11% longer than Chrome. If I were the Edge team, I'd be watching my back and not crowing so loudly.

Note that they only tested on Windows 10, because Edge only runs on Windows 10.

It only takes 97% of the 90K Tesla drivers doing the right thing for there to be thousands of Tesla drivers not doing the right thing.

Stupidity and ignorance are two different things. The idiots posting Youtube videos, filmed from the backseat, of driverless Teslas, are fully aware that their behavior is reckless. They were not "tricked" by the name of the software.

every crappy PA comes with BT

BT? We came to drop bombs, calling every man to arms.

Maybe Blender can be a viable alternative?
it has a video editing mode

For any curious:

I personally never watched wrestling, so I had to Google that to verify, and apparently the AC is not trolling.

I think the real question is, since X is just the minimum, do you really want to be the kind of person who only does the minimum?

Obama really had virtually no history. He never really did anything special in the Senate. It seems that more and more having actually worked in Washington is not a good thing to brag about on the campaign trail.

He had charisma and ran on a platform of hope. McCain, who I think is a good man (and I voted for him in 2008) sadly was forced to run on a doom and gloom campaign propelled from the ground up by people who were hell bent in believing Obama was a crypto-muslim homosexual anti-crist funded by illegal mexicans from China.

Obama's win in 2012 was also based on his charisma, and the GOP constituency, rather than learning its lessons, harked back into more doom and gloom that ended up turning off a whole bunch of people. For an example of the idiotic doom and gloom pandered by the GOP during Obama's first presidency, I refer to you to Chuck Norri's 1000 years of darkness warning (seriously, I can't make this shit up):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ud3pK5Wa90

I'm not having a hard-on on Obama. He has committed some serious blunders. And yet, the combination of his charisma and message are/were more palatable than the ZOMG ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE monkey-flinging shitshow that the GOP constituency has embarrassed the country with for the last 8 years.

Obama could have had as much more political baggage as Clinton and chances are he would have still won the 2008 and 2012 elections simply by not being what his opposition was: a horde of shit-flinging monkeys pandering doom-and-gloom piss kool-aid and Orwellian 2 Minute Hate Sessions to the wretches who must find an external enemy to blame for their personal and social shortcomings.

But here we are now, having to select two detestables: Hillary or Trump. One way or another this country, and the imbecilic proles in it, will get the leader it deserves.

Hmmm, I think I saw that episode.

You gotta remember, liberals love to justify bad behavior, by pointing to (often unrelated) ... bad behavior.

You're using that word, "liberals", but who you're really referring to is right wingers who lie to themselves a lot.

It is as if they are four year olds getting in trouble, and saying "but Billy's Mom lets him drink beer/smoke dope".

Did your self-awareness at least tickle a little bit when you wrote that?

You mean, like when Bill Clinton said "Make America Great" is racist, even though he used that same exact phrase a number of times during his own presidential campaign?

Was he being a raving racist moran towards latinos and muslims when he was saying it? No? Then your lazy false equivalency is duly noted.

Actually, there are plenty of benefits that Illegals get, that Citizens don't get. The lack of proper "documentation' gets them a lot of linenacy in criminal situations that I do not get.

Is that what Santa told you? Cuz believing in that jolly old elf is just as rational as this alternate universe you've constructed for yourself. Both cops and the DHS have quotas, and busting anyone they can for deportation helps boost those numbers, even if they have to deport American citizens to do it.

While not "free stuff" there are a lot of Tax Payer resources that are available, expressly for Undocumented people, that I do not qualify for, such as legal support and help.

That was you in Missouri in 2003, wasn't it? Immigrants without documents subsidize your ignorant ass by paying into benefits they will never try to collect on, least they get deported.

And quite frankly illegal immigration is affecting the suppression of wages

Responsibility for which you are laying at the feet of businesses and capitalists eager to exploit these workers, yes?

There's additional bypass methods in the T-Mobile network. I won't discuss them here.

There's also a bypass method in the Verizon Wireless network, which can be used if you can get their paywall. It involves using a certain low-numbered TCP port, which will pass through the paywall to any server, without any modification, and without any data limit.

So, it's OK if I steal your car? I have no contract with you, and never agreed to your terms of service.

Oh, hi there Chris Dodd, it seems you accidentally taped this to a wall:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

There's case law on this related to theft of cable TV service. If you find a way to watch HBO without paying for HBO, you're guilty.

That's fine, just let me know when there's any law at all that says that hopping on an open wifi without the owners permission is a crime.

I think your ideas on this are too narrow. Instead of procedural planning where every action has an algorithm behind it, think of something more along the line of progression of a CA.

Does he indemnify the users...?

I'm pretty sure he doesn't worry too much about being sued.

Oh No! More White Supremacism!

Trump and Clinton are the consequences of the terrible first past the post voting system more than anything else. That is what needs to be fixed in politics; it always devolves into a battle between two contenders, neither of which are wanted by the majority of the population, but all other choices go away because they have no chance of winning in FPTP voting.

Services like Facebook are so huge that they constitute the de facto "public square" of the Internet. As such, I think that all "public place" rules (such as the protections of the First Amendment) should be forced upon them. Non-participation in a site as huge as Facebook makes you a non-participant in modern society. Unfortunately, this also means that participation in digital society is heavily controlled by whoever controls Facebook, and if they disagree with you or don't like you for any reason, they can eject you from a big part of participation in modern society with no consequences.

Of course, the loud objections will be "They're a private company! Forcing them to abide by these rules is government overreach! How they operate should be entirely their choice!" To those people I would say that if you choose to operate a large social networking website, you've chosen to spend your time and money operating a public square. If you want to be free to arbitrarily eject people from society or force people to adhere to your notions of what the world should look like, don't choose to be the digital public square in the first place.

It's sort of like ISPs being designated as common carriers: anyone is free to build a business that revolves around information passing, but you are not free to arbitrarily control what information may be passed (thereby restricting the freedoms of others) without serious consequences.

And you need to look at this WTC 7 NIST Model vs. Reality It's a two minute video comparing the real footage of the collapse of Tower 7 to the NIST simulation. Can you tell me with a straight face that they match up? The simulation bends and twists all over, while the actual collapse is so smooth that most of the windows even remain intact until the very end.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

And the funny thing is we can use youtube itself to help drive the point home.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Hopefully this one doesn't get taken out by a drone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

> The main problem with the two WTC crashes is: they started both on the top, story wise, for no reason.

There is a very good reason - the floors that suffered damage from the plane impacts lost their structural integrity, and were unable to hold the weight of the floors above. When you watch the videos, you can see the collapse begin at the level of the plane impacts.

All of these. If they have no use, then they'd never have been invented.

I love No Man's Sky. I haven't played it at all, but it's responsible for this, which is probably more amusement than I've gotten out of some games I've actually bought.

That sounds like a slightly electronic version of the two-short-rings used on old PBX equipment to indicate an internal call (i.e. from a co-worker). External calls had the regular long ring. While Grupo Globo may have been using it for 30+ years in Brazil, it's been in use in the rest of the world as long as I can remember (40+ years). If it's associated with "them" in Brazil, I would guess that that's because they probably had a near-monopoly on PBX equipment in your country.

I agree with the court. It's too generic to be trademarked. If you want to trademark a ring, make a ringtone jingle.

Nice link! To Europeans, it might sound a lot like this one, or this one.

Hmmm. No. Just NO.

This is the sound piece in question >> It's called "plim plim" in Brazil.

And that sounds very close to one of the alternative chimes available on PalmOS devices by Palm Inc. (was it the "SciFi" chime ? I'm not sure anymore),
available at least since the early 2000s (on my Palm IIIc back then).

Probably other PDAs have use a similar chime even earlier (could some e.g. Psion / EPOC user confirm ?)

Though trademark law doesn't have a concept of "prior art", it does have something similar to "defend or lose it".
Currently this sound isn't distinctly associated with their branding (at least outisde of Brazil. Maybe there this "plim-plim" is immediately associated with the brand and is never heard anywhere else). It's not a jingle that is specific to grupo globo, it's something that has been heard around countless times.
It's completely generic and the EU is completely right at laughing them out of the court.

Oddly, though, those exact same people will have NO qualms...

Ask any brazilian and they tell you that is Globo's "plim-plim" (thats how we call it). I don't know where the phone related claim comes from, i only know it from TV, not ringtones...

Here it is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

It is decades old (since the 70s) and marks when the commercial breaks start and end. Thats how they used to signal to all regional re-transmitters when to switch to/from commercials. It is a very recognizable branding of Globo TV.

"She stated, in particular, that that mark consisted of a simple and banal ringing sound and that it could not be perceived as an indicator of the commercial origin of the goods. The examiner therefore requested that the applicant submit its observations to her within a period of two months."
Like i said, that is wrong, just because you don't know it doesn't mean it is not their branding...

Brazilian here. This is what they tried to trademark (The last sound in the video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

In Brazil, This is known as the "plim-plim". They have been using the sound for many (30+) years. I don't see how this can be compared to the sound of a ringing phone.

Brazilian here.
Since it's Globo we're talking about, i doubt it's a generic "ring ring" that they're trying to trademark. Globo has a characteristic jingle sound that they've been using for decades and that goes along with all their trademarks, commercials and other stuff. It sounds (and is described as) a "plim plim" and it's hard to hear that sound here in Brazil and not associate it with the their TV channel. You can hear it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

My bet is that this is what they're trying to trademark.
