    What's so special about those years? a side from Twitter and myspace not existing :)

    No, the Nazi influence is strong in this one.

    What liability?

    If someone is in front of your car running them over is an act of self defence even more so when it's a whole mob.

    Self absorbed?

    The only person being self absorbed here is yourself it is arrogant pricks like you who think they are better than everyone else that cause problems, not those of us who are going about our daily lives.

    "if you have to drive 50 miles one way to get from your home to your place of business, you're doing it wrong."
    Excuse me for having a job, 50miles is hardy long distance, the closest I have ever worked to home is probably 40 miles, if you give me the money I will happily buy another house closer to work.

    However the commercialisation of the internet has fuelled it's development at a phenomenal rate.

    Actually they are important, my car is used to get places I need to be with a busy timetable.

    Who are you to say what is or is not important?

    Yes, there is some questionable logic if somebody drives to a gym to use a bike especially since they then pay an expensive membership to use it to go nowhere. But many of us do not have any alternative but to drive our own cars, myself included.

  8. Re:Can't pay for your car? Ride a bicycle! on Cellular Repo Man · · Score: 1

    But some of us actually have important things to do and places to be.

  9. Re:Used car salesmen use the same thing on Cellular Repo Man · · Score: 1

    Sounds like those devices would be pretty ineffective, People can easily remove them and start the car, or simply install a new starter since they arn't very expensive to begin with.

  10. Re:All countries are equal on the slippery slope on UK Libel Law Is a Global Threat To Web Free Speech · · Score: 1

    how do you think shows on FoxNEWS, MSNBC, Comedy Central, and the internet as a whole would have held up in the US without a strong love for the 1st amendment.

    Probably the same way things are going in Australia.

  11. Re:implications on UK Libel Law Is a Global Threat To Web Free Speech · · Score: 1

    Worse yet for you, if I sue you in the UK and you don't even show up I can get default judgment against you, then enforce that in the US. This is quite a common scenario with foreign defendants.

    So much for the right to a fair trial.

  12. Re:Here are some other sources: on UN Attacks Free Speech · · Score: 1

    Thinking doesn't make someone intelligent.

    My dog can think and contemplate things. Mostly whether or not to chase the cat, he normally won't when I'm watching but he also knows when dinner is due. This demonstrates his ability to think, but he is not intelligent compared to a human.

    The notion of a god is totally absurd yet Catholics still believe in him.

    So my previous comment is still correct.

    I forgot to add, religion is defamation of logic and reason. Which is why it would also have to be outlawed.

  15. Re:Here are some other sources: on UN Attacks Free Speech · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Defamation is free-speech.

    So is religion, if your going to outlaw one you must surely outlaw the other.

    You have to be on something for the UN to make any sense.

    If $30 for a movie is unreasonable to you, there are plenty of other ways to see the movie without violating the law. You could go rent it at Blockbuster. Or you could get a Netflix account and get it there.

    Or you can go to ThePirateBay which is certainly the best option.

    The website doesn't contain any illegal material.

    But anyway would it really matter if the MPAA knew you had a connection with The Pirate Bay, they can't sue you for it. Also it is in fact not a crime to download copyrighted content, if it where the police would have some involvement.

    We can thank our lawmakers who force us to take drastic steps to defend ourselves. I few years ago whole drive encryption was almost unheard of, now it's a must have in order to keep your data out of the hands of private corporations.
