Broadcast Flag in Trouble
pdqlamb writes "USA Today reports an appeals court was not amused at the FCC's broadcast flag rule. Sounds like the judge bought into the argument that the FCC does not have the authority to dictate device design. The broadcast flag isn't quite dead yet, but at least it's in trouble."
It seems that /. could use people who don't even fucking read the blog they're in charge of.
Why is it cool to post the same story 3 times in the same day, but a cook who grabs the crap from yesterday's garbage gets fired?
Most often heard from Slashdot editors wives, girlfriends, boyfriends or inflatable toys:
"This again?"
Seriously, take a moment from inspecting your own balls, and DO YOUR FUCKING JOB. Really.
Or go get fired from McFuckingClownBurger. This site is full of people who do more than you appear to do in the first 5 minutes of their 10 hour day. Is it too much to ask of the editors that they actually read, scan, or glance at the site enough to be called 'editors'?
A gas station toilet has a better story queue than you worthless bitches. Is it really TOO MUCH to READ SUMMARIES OF 12 stories? IS IT? If so, I suggest special ed tutoring. Perhaps you'll learn something from the fucking tards that can at least tell me if they've seen the goddamn puppy in the book before.
Why 'edit' this site at all if you're going to masturbate on donuts all day? Fuck, I can do that, and I don't even have a degree.
You know what really blows my teensy mind? That there was four hours between the time you posted your first story, and the time you posted the dupe from yesterday. What where you doing? Playing Minelayer? Eating samitches? Posting to Fark? Please tell me you do this for free, and that OSDN doesn't pay you to smell your fingers for hours on end.
Yeah, I amy be drunk, but I can still recognize a stupid dupe on the front page of the site I edit. Which is not this one. Which is probably why I'm not working there.
(Please note: I am not drunk this time)
Too bad this story didn't have a broadcast flag on it.
It's only fair, after paying for other people's kids schooling for years..
"(damn baby boomers)"
Exactly and they screwed us twice. Not only are there more of them, but they decided to have fewer kids! So the "pool" paying for their asses is smaller yet.
Social security is leeching off yourself. Your SS Insurance premiums are a lower yield investment than, say, the stock market, when they pay off - odds favor the casino. Because they're vastly lower risk (near-zero), they yield less per investor, but every investor gets ROI. Which is the point of SSI: that no American should be so poor in their old age that they starve or go homeless, or actually leech off their poor children so much that their poor grandchildren don't have the resources to get out of the cycle of poverty. Which is how America was back in "the good old days" before SSI.

"The only problem I can see is if a generation was SMALLER than its parent generation"
Exactly, baby boomers had fewer kids then previous generations. Birth rates in the US have been declining for a long time.
And I still don't whine about paying my SS taxes. Funny that.. I thought charity was a Christian virtue, and here I am, an atheist, daring to give because someone else needs it. I guess keeping 60 year old ladies out of the gutter is a left wing conspiracy, but giving fortune 1000 companies money to outsource jobs overseas is apple pie and motherhood.
King George tried to implement the Broadcast flag? Wow I never knew that...glad it didn't happen back then as I wouldn't have had time to pick up a broadcast flag ignoring hdtv card!
