"A deeper point is this: do we really want to live in a world where lies and deception are regarded as the norm, and where all opinions are automatically worthless simply by virtue of their being opinions?"
I probably should've phrased that better. I don't use IE by default, thus, I disable scripting in an attempt to keep other programs from loading it up as an embedded/external browser (WiMP does this) and using it maliciously. Just a minor precaution. Also, take a look at NoScript https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722 it disables all scripts by default but then allows you to whitelist/blacklist on a site by site basis. It's simple and works really well.
This is absurd. From reading TFA it sounds like the best buy manager took his new hard drive away from him. This is absolutely criminal. I hope best buy learns from this after they get posted all over the internet. Oh wait, they just did!
If you don't want to give your customers service then you really shouldn't be accepting customers.
Also, shouldn't this be "Your rights Offline?"
I hate to break it to you guys, but this is amusing, yet adds nothing of any meaningful value towards bypassing WGA. WGA has been broken for quite sometime now. You can install commonly available cracks to get your pirated copy to validate as genuine.
So what's the big deal? Like I said, this is amusing, but MS has bigger problems in the piracy game.
Flaming dragon shit?! Now that would be cool! But alas, I think Norton internet security suite is more like the experience of falling face-first into a cow pie.
You're treating this like the room is REAL.
It isn't. You can't compare rooms that can be created/destroyed/copied ad infinitum on a whim to real life situations.
Honestly, you're looking for logic where there is none. You're trying to sell a bright new day to the blind, and I really hope they all die off for it. It's getting to the point where people can handle content creation (And certainly distribution) by themselves. Who needs em?

...I hate to burst your bubble...
..But I didn't know "Plugging it in and using it" was considered an exploit.
Considering his facebook group has over 1.2 million as of yesterday, I think he can get 10k sigs if he needed to. :)
Which is funny, because I read his joke with a Russian accent in my head. No idea why.

I am in shock. But seriously, people wonder why I disable all scripting in IE as soon as it loads and then use the NoScript extension in FireFox.
And sparklers taped to the sides.
Oh my god! They killed Bell Labs!

12 Years ago it sucked. That means it sucks the same now. In the future no improvements will be had.
One which I would pay good money for :)
A virus dedicated to the eradication of symantec? Sign me up! ...I suppose I'll have to turn off AVG first...What then?
Clippy is dead. Long live Clippy!

I think this article is directly related to that. I certainly know I managed to get away with kissing a few girls and it involved lots of champagne. :p
