Texas Sues Sony BMG over Rootkit
Mr. Sketch writes "According to Yahoo!, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott 'filed a civil lawsuit on Monday against Sony BMG Music Entertainment for including "spyware" software on its media player designed to thwart music copying. [...] Texas is seeking civil penalties of $100,000 per violation of the state's Consumer Protection Against Computer Spyware Act, which was enacted earlier this year. "Sony has engaged in a technological version of cloak and dagger deceit against consumers by hiding secret files on their computers," Abbott said in a statement.'"
They are getting sued in Texas ...

Oh-ho sony, texas TORCHED your ass, man! Texas TORCHED your ass!
I have this really funny quote that I like to put here. Unfortunately, there's this really annoying thing called a char
"Part of me died when he died," Garza said in an interview with the Chronicle. "You've got a 17-year-old who went to his grave for something he did not do. Texas murdered an innocent person."
So the kid who refused to come forward until AFTER the execution says Texas murdered this kid?
I'm not a big pro-death penatly guy. On my list of conservative causes I care about it's, no wait, it's not on the list. Innocent people have been killed, I don't think that's a fair trade for killing any number of serial killers who'd already been caught. But still, this kind of soppy blame-the-state, all-individuals-are-victims reporting is just obnoxious.

He's not stupid, he's JUST JETLAGGED, OK?
Now, who moved the exit?
Oh-ho, the Bush bashers get modded +5 funny and the Clinton bashers get -1 offtopic. And they say ./ isn't partisan.

"You hate French people, which you have already admitted to."
Then quote me. Cut it and paste it, and I'll come over and wash your car and paint your house.
I NEVER said I hated the French. Why do you find the need to lie?
See, this is why people like you disgust me. You try to make the point that your morality is somehow better, but then you openly LIE, and still expect to have any credibility.
You're embarassing yourself. Next time, you might want to bother actually reading what you're responding to instead of opening your mouth and jamming both feet in.
"The fact that I lump rascism into the same bucket as all the other trends you seem to adore means nothing."
NO, that's just what you tell yourself so you can feel superior. The truth is that you are not smart enough to see the subtle differences, so you ridicule those who do because you're ashamed of your shortcomings.
Just because you aren't intelligent enough to see the differences, that is no reason to pretend there are no differences.
"No, the war wasn't going anywhere and it was having a MASSIVE...BLAHBLAHBLAH"
Who quit first and why? Germany, and because they were incapable of continuing. You can look it up, but you won't because you're about looking right, not actually being right, and that's just sad.
So do us a favor, educate yourself, take a rhetoric course, and STOP BEING SUCH A LIAR. Your family won't have to be ashamed of you anymore, and you won't have a trail of idiotic posts to remind you how you got outsmarted and embarrassed. By an AMERICAN. THAT IS CONSERVATIVE!!! AND WORST OF ALL? You know it's true, and you'll still try to deny it.
any sufficiently idiotic Presidency is indistinguishable from magic.
