Broadcast Flag in Trouble

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the sink-that-sucker dept.

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."

  1. Why not dupe my post? by teamhasnoi · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    Can I be a Slashdot editor if I promise never to come back?

    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.
