    If im around a marijuana farm, law enforcement is the least of my worries. Its the farmers that are the true concern.

    Under your scheme shouldnt the cops be charged with illegal activities as well?

  3. Re:News for Nerds? on Senator Rand Paul Detained By the TSA · · Score: 1

    Its news because the Constitution EXPRESSLY forbids detaining a senator except under very specific circumstances, none of which applies here. Lets try to keep in mind the Constitution is supposed to be the supreme law of the land.

    Vengeance and Justice are not mutually exclusive and both are completely dependent on your perspective. Two sides of the exact same coin.

    American cuisine is CHOICE. We dont have anything 'unique' because we take the best of everywhere and incorporate it. That is what "American food' means.

    You really dont understand the concept of LLC do you? Disallow corporations from the political process and strip citizenship should be more then enough to roll back the most heinous of corporate offenses we are seeing now.

  8. Re:Foster Creativity By Shortening Copyright Lengt on Y Combinator Wants To Kill Hollywood · · Score: 2

    Its not hypocritical to call out when one side is abusing their part of the SOCIAL BARGAIN. No one is denying they make products we want, what we are saying is we are continuously getting the short end of the BARGAIN we struck. Copyright isnt intended to be a free pass to print money, its meant to incentivize the creation process for a LIMITED time. Its hypocritical of you to say you hate the laws these industries have gotten passed, yet you support their right to rigorously defend wholly immoral extensions of their rights and diminishing of The People's right to free culture.

    Yeah, because the alternative would be for them to just continually raising house taxes to cover their spending. They are going ot spend either way, at least we have SOME protection against government waste. Fuck you for thinking you know better than The People. The Direct Democracry thing is doing jsut fine in CA, we are still here, still 5th largest economy in the world.

    I live right by a Fiskar dealership, yet i never see any on the road, EVER. I live in So-cal, so its not unusual to see very high end cars all the time. You would think i would see at least one by now. Ive seen multiple Teslas, A Reventon, R8s, Murcilagos etc etc.

    The REASON it has it own audio assigned jacks is because audio doesnt always have to come from HDMI. I wont buy a HDMI monitor/TV without the ability to pipe in a separate audio stream to at least one HDMI port.

    Why do you feel for them? They bought something from the People and then turn around and say 'We know you said we are only supposed to use it this way, but we are gonna use it this way, problem?" They brought this on themselves.

    Lightguard's allocated spectrum is supposed to be for SATELLITE use, they want to use it on the ground which was not included as part of their licensing agreement.

    A better phrasing would be. Apple doesnt focus on the enterprise anymore then they do the general consumer. One ring to rule them all, as it were.

  20. Re:Shouldn't Do Obviously on PS4: What Sony Should and Shouldn't Do · · Score: 0

    3D video gaming is pretty sweet man. Some game types are way better then others for 3D. For example, any driving game or FPS (Halo CE:Anniversary) is jsut going to be 'ok' in 3d. It basically reminds of the 'movie' style of 3d like in avatar. its neat, it works well, but nothing to get too excited about.

    Now, start playing some God of War (origins is in 3D) or Batman Arkham City and its a whole other proposition. Moving your character around in 3D space is really awesome and immersive. Watching Kratos' blades flailing around in the 3d space is really cool.

    Valve is milking the fuck out of it. The only thing i can think of now is they are going to tie it to hardware somehow. Be it when the new consoles launch or steam rolls their own hardware ( this i what i think the secret 5 year valve plan is)

    It was a non-insignificant factor in my decision to drop $600 for the device. To me, at least $100 of the purchase price was justified by it being able to run linux. I was really hoping we would get RSX access in Linux eventually. Considering how pretty hands-off they were about PSP, I dont think anyone thought Sony would go to the nuclear option about it.

    On a single player game like that just make a local GFLW account. And I agree that particular issue is very frustrating (Shame on netflix for allowing MS to put their service on the gold tier instead of free like the other 599 devices that can run netflix)
