    Well, fuck **YOU**. This means you have something extra to do for your minimum-wage buck, and if your boss ain't gonna happy about it, though fucking noogies, boy, 'caus if he wasn't trading in defective goods, it wouldn't happen.

    Now, if everyone would have a shit-fit at the cash whenever they find that their b0rken CDs are crippled and it really gives bad vibes through the stores, maybe the record stores would not sell b0rken crippled CDs.

    That oughta give a message to the record companies.

    Republicans on the other hand can probably come up with some idea why this is a good thing.
    If you seriously believe that the Democrats wouldn't do the same, you need to wake up and smell the fucking coffee. The scariest thing is that the dems are MORE LIKELY to do that kind of thing than the reps.

    It's coming. The more it goes, the USA acts more and more like nazi-germany prior to world-war II. Abolition of democracy, curtailment of free-speech, military occupation of other countries.

    Within 10 years, there will be a war when the world turns against the USA to stop it like the world did against nazi Germany in 1939.

  16. Re:Why chilling? on Europe, Free Speech, And The Internet · · Score: 1
    Why would this have a chilling effect? It just ensures the powerfull and rich people can't bash and blaim poor people, without giving them a chance to defend themselve. Journalists have way too much power, and that power should be regulated so it isn't abused.
    Indeed. In fact, it should be extended even to advertising; but the right-of-response would not be given to the competition, but rather to organizations fighting some kind of product.

    For example, Mc Donald ads would have to post rebuttals by health groups, or car ads would have to post rebuttal by public transit organizations.

    The idea is to have a fair balanced information available to citizens (and/or consumers).

  22. Re:Get used to it. on Black Box in Speeder's Car Helped Conviction · · Score: 1
    The ability to move about freely is a right, and the right to drive is an extension of that right. It's clear that the state has the right to detain people for various reasons, and giving the dangers involved with driving, the state has more right to stop people from driving. But that doesn't change the fundamental analysis.
    BZZZT !!! Totally wrong. Thanks for playing.

    The right to move about freely in no way entails the use of an automobile (even if public transportation systems have stupidly been gutted to the point of rendering life impossible without an automobile). You are as free to move by foot or on a bike as you are to take public transportation. Operating an automobile implies that you have to obey very specific rules whose aim is to insure that you do not endanger anybody else's life or property.

    Since ignoring those rules all too often result in damage or injury or death, you will have your driving privileges removed from you if you do not behave responsibly towards others. You won't be able to drive an automobile, but this will not prevent you from moving about freely, as long as you don't drive a car.

  23. Get used to it. on Black Box in Speeder's Car Helped Conviction · · Score: 2, Insightful
    3 years ago, I was attending a IT project management class. The (night) university I went hires teachers with day jobs, so they're sure that their skills are current. Our teacher is a senior project manager for a popular federal police agency.

    During the class, we had to prepare a law-enforcement project schedule, and then present it to police top-brass (in our case, it was the third in command) at the federal police academy.

    When our team was selecting a project (we all did it with the teacher's assistance - so he could weed-out lame projects early), I proposed an event recorder for cars which could be downloaded by police so they could ticket drivers more accurately (or even if they weren't there to watch).

    The teacher became livid and said that we should do something else because "that was coming to be eventually"...

    GET USED TO IT, folks. Driving is a PRIVILEGE, not a right. And the State has the DUTY to enforce laws as fairly as it can. And what can you find a better cop than an electronic one who follows all your moves?

    This is only "unfair" to those criminals who run red lights or speed or drive dangerously, and threaten the lives of innocent bystanders.
