McCain Releases Technology Platform

Posted by Soulskill on from the version-0.982-beta dept.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "John McCain has finally released a technology platform. Most of it is the same old stuff; lower corporate taxes, protect children from porn, and avoid Internet regulation unless 'necessary.' Alas, in his view, helping the RIAA's War on Sharing is necessary to stop the 'global epidemic' of piracy, while Net Neutrality is something he 'does not believe in.' Ars Technica has a review of McCain's platform." A brief analysis is also available from Federal Computer Week. In addition to the technology policy, McCain has also released a paper describing his stance on security and privacy. We've previously contrasted his views with those of Barack Obama. Obama's technology policies are also available online.

      I don't get it. Who is the amputee and what has been amputated? Also, "third leg" is typically used as a euphemism for "huge dick". Are you saying John McCain has a huge dick? First Post isn't free; you have to be literate and make sense, otherwise people will just ignore you. Better luck next time.

    I'd agree with you, except that right after the blog line McCain said he "would have felt very much at home in the medium", obviously taking a cheap shot at bloggers as people who "dominate the conversation about anything and everything as if they knew the best approach and all others had nothing to offer."

    The original poster very much got his point, methinks.

    Riiight.

    More like YOU have missed McCain's point - which was poking fun at the intolerance shown in online conversations.

    Oh, say, like the intolerance Slashdot shows to those that stray from the pro-Obama groupthink that permeates these pages.
