Jumping In On The Lessig / Adkinson Copyright Debate

An Anonymous Coward writes: "LawMeme has an excellent response to William F. Adkinson's critique of Larry Lessig's ideas on copyright reform. What I found most interesting about the article though, was the link to this paper by Ernest Miller (of Yale's Information Society Project) and Joan Feigenbaum (editor-in-chief of the Journal of Cryptography) that says we should take the copy out of copyright."

      pardon me good sir, but can you please explain what a "grit" is exactly? I have often heard that the negroid race regularly consumes a foodstuff of the same name. is the "grit" of negroids the same as the "hot grit" of slashdot and if it is, what is it?

    You can feel my cock in your mouth. You haven't lost enough blood to lose consciousness. Your eyes still have the shine of life, the spark of fear, the glaze of terror that lets me know you're still with me.
    Your legs are warm with your piss, your innards hanging down from your slit stomach each foot long length bearing a turd that you will never shit. Your shit-to-be will be excavated by the medical examiner while you lie cold and lifeless on the stainless steel table in your local hospital's basement.
    The greatest indignity will be not knowing the custodian will come in during the night and grope your dead balls only to be caught by the nightwatchman who will lick the dried blood from your limp, dead penis.
    You won't cum.
    You're too busy burning in hell.
    Each demon's face is twisted into the visage of my face, your tormentor in life and now in death and then your afterlife for your eternity. Intestines twisted around pitchfork tines like spaghetti for a giant Italian's dinner. Sulphur sprinkled liberally over your exposed guts like parmesian cheese. Your agony will not be legendary. Your agony will simply be tedium for the unborn punishers who want to move onto greater things like working the huge vat of boiling diarrhea for gamblers, rapists and gluttons because they believe they have the next big thing and you aren't going to get them anywhere with your sins.
    Your sin is deriding people for not using linux.
    Your sin is deriding people for thinking for themselves rather than bending to the will of self-important, self-described nerds who believe they know what is best for the once-burgeoning computer culture.
    Your sin is begging to be raped in the handicapped stall at E3 by Richard Stallman, if he went by Dick he would be aptly named, because polyamory is the ultimate in open source.
    Your sin is eating shit and liking the taste. The texture. The scent. "Your stomach didn't digest the corn but my stomach sure as hell is going to give it the old college try" is what you think as you scorn those who lack your intestinal talent. Your salvation and sanity in hell will be the memories of walking through the downtown park early in the morning before the rising sun had a chance to burn away the mist like last night's dreams. You spy the treasure resting gently between the green blades. The pile doesn't steam having since lost the warmth of its birth to the cold unforgiving night. A tear runs down your cheek when you feel the longing to give that turd love, to give that turd a home, to reintroduce that coil of poo to your special womb. You want to relish its taste. You want to play your little game of "What did they have for dinner?" You don't dare smile in the face of your tormentors lest they become agitated and step up your punishment. Still the thought of smiling is still there when you had the happy moment to realize that firm craplog was formerly kibble instead of pizza pie.
    After a while you could tell the kibbleshit's brand. Eukanuba has a tangy taste, firm and chewy while you dislike the whole experience of a Purina shit.
    A single tear flows down your cheek as I finish raping your mouth. The back of your throat is coated with jizz. Your chest is afire with pain as you feel my knife rape your chest again and again letting your heartblood spread the pool of gore at your knees.
    As the life slips from your eyes you can feel me cum again, dribbling down your forearm.
    The last thing you do before your soul falls into the bowels of the earth is rub your ring finger against the pool of cum in your palm lovingly, gagging the words "It's GNU/Linux and it's the kernel!"

  5. america sucks by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    let's face it America sucks. Everyone on Slashdot knows America is evil, shit that's all you guys talk about all day.

    The best solution is destruction of America and Israel and the creation of a world wide Islamic state and recreation of the Caliphate.

    Problems solved.

  6. Jumping In On The US Flag Debate by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    As noted on the Smithsonian Institution's site, the first official American flag had thirteen stars and thirteen stripes, each representing one of the thirteen original states. The flag icon for Slashdot's 'United States' section is missing its first stripe - the stripe that represents Delaware, the first state admitted to the Union. While a simple oversight could be forgiven, it should be known from here on out that Slashdot is in fact aware of the missing stripe, and even worse, refuses to do anything about it!

    This vulgar flag desecration and rabid anti-Delawarism must be put to a stop. Let the Slashdot crew know that we will not accept a knowingly mutilated flag or the insinuation that Delawarians deserve to be cut out of the union. I ask you, what has Delaware done to deserve this insolence, this wanton disregard, this bigotry?

    This intentional disregard of a vital national symbol is unpatriotic. Why, the flippant remarks CmdrTaco made about our flag border on terrorism! I urge you to join the protest in each 'United States' story. Sacrifice your karma for your country by pointing out this injustice. Let's all work together to get our flag back. Can you give your country any less?
