  1. Re:Make it convenient for me and I will pay on Peter Sunde: the Pirate Bay Should Stay Down · · Score: 1

    Shocking ignorance for the 21st Century.

  2. Re:Silly backwards lobbyists and authorities on Peter Sunde: the Pirate Bay Should Stay Down · · Score: 2

    If i could get a DRM free copy of Guardians, i would have bought it. If there was a way to pay for it and add it to my Plex server I would, but there isnt. Optical discs suck and are obsolete, and the current online services (HD digital) all state they only hold your content for a few years, after that no guarantee you will be able to stream product you paid for.

  3. Re:Silly backwards lobbyists and authorities on Peter Sunde: the Pirate Bay Should Stay Down · · Score: 2

    Copyright as it is currently implemented is fundamentally flawed. Until such a time as it is fixed, piracy is the wedge used to keep focus on the issue. Copyright is too strong and favors too few to keep in its current form. I dont mind paying you for your labor, what i mind is the idea that you think you have the right to sell a license for almost a century, to people who havent been born yet.

  4. Re:Sony needs to invest in their IT on Sony Hacks Continue: PlayStation Hit By Lizard Squad Attack · · Score: 2

    SO does my Fire TV when i turn on ABD mode.....just saying if someone is on your local network, LOTS of things become very vulnerable. The security for the device is supposed to be YOUR FIREWALL.

  5. Re:America, land of the free... on Ask Slashdot: Can a Felon Work In IT? · · Score: 1

    The problem is that we give felonies out like candy for things that should be misdemeanors.

  6. Re:America, land of the free... on Ask Slashdot: Can a Felon Work In IT? · · Score: 1

    DO you remember what happened when England said 'too bad no votes for you' to the colonies? Permanently disenfranchising a citizen is absolutely wrong.

  7. Re:America, land of the free... on Ask Slashdot: Can a Felon Work In IT? · · Score: 1

    A second misdemeanor of the same type can be charged as a felony in some states. Shoplift once, its a misdemeanor, shoplift twice, hello felony.

  8. Re:No on Should IT Professionals Be Exempt From Overtime Regulations? · · Score: 1

    And we are telling you guys its time to knock that shit off. Very few people need to be working more than 40 hours per week. You dont have time to be a good citizen and family member if you work more than that.

  9. Re:USA is slow on The Sony Pictures Hack Was Even Worse Than Everyone Thought · · Score: 1

    The last mile problem is like looking at the life expectancy of 200 years ago. The number is so low because INFANT mortality was so high that it heavily pulls down the top end. I have 100 mb at my house right now, my friend has gigabit, but most people dont, so overall it makes us look like shit, but your assertions are jsut straight up wrong.

  10. Re:Over what time interval? on The Sony Pictures Hack Was Even Worse Than Everyone Thought · · Score: 1

    Jackson would carry around raw LotR footage on an ipod for transport.

  11. Re:USA is slow on The Sony Pictures Hack Was Even Worse Than Everyone Thought · · Score: 1

    Dude, America has BADASS, world-class trunks and backhauls. They put in special lines from NY to Chicago jsut to shave milliseconds off of trades.. Its the LAST MILE shit that we utterly fail at and keeps us lagging behind other nations, not the core infrastructure.

  12. Re:Freedom of assembly on New Effort To Grant Legal Rights To Chimpanzees Fails · · Score: 1

    I hate this argument. The PEOPLE of the corp can act as individuals, they should not be allowed to pool that power into something that is more than the sum of its parts.

  13. Re:good on New Effort To Grant Legal Rights To Chimpanzees Fails · · Score: 2

    The fact that we are having this discussion is all the argument that is necessary.

  14. Re:Stable enough? on Windows 10 Adds Battery Saver Feature · · Score: 1

    I want to add that my gaming rig is maintained in a super stable state. I dont even browse on it. It jsut plays games. I dont even allow stuff like input wrappers so i can use third party controllers on PC.

  15. Re:Stable enough? on Windows 10 Adds Battery Saver Feature · · Score: 1

    Depends on what im going to use it for. I know XP inside and out. There is nothing wrong with XP, its a perfectly useful OS, with some strings attached. Its not dead, its not even fully deprecated.

  16. Re:Stable enough? on Windows 10 Adds Battery Saver Feature · · Score: 0

    NO. Its stable enough to be used as a TEST rig, but nothing more. Using preview versions of Windows will only bring you pain.

  17. Re:Profit? on Chinese CEO Says "Free" Is the Right Price For Mobile Software · · Score: 1

    What exactly is entitlement mentality to you?

  18. Re:Bail terms - no more money making on Kim Dotcom Faces Jail At Bail Hearing · · Score: 1

    Wrong. the 'law' is what prevents individuals and groups from attempting to gain control of 'monopoly on violence'. Without the law you would be some warlord's bitch or dead. Be grateful for 'law'

  19. Re:Bail terms - no more money making on Kim Dotcom Faces Jail At Bail Hearing · · Score: 1

    Kim Dotcom's wealth is as legitimate as Bill Gates' wealth. Both ignored and manipulated that law for profit.

  20. Re: i don't think so on The Driverless Future: Buses, Not Taxis · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many hours a day the average person has to work to pay for their car....

  21. Re: Stress on The Driverless Future: Buses, Not Taxis · · Score: 1

    This doesnt remove the problem of human ego in driving. Also, I dont want to provide a job a robot could do. A human driver is a waste of a human in a world with robotic conveyance.

  22. Re:i don't think so on The Driverless Future: Buses, Not Taxis · · Score: 1

    Why are you in such a hurry all the time? Is 5 minutes at the bus stop really wasted? Is you life so busy you have to account for that 5 minutes?

  23. Re: i don't think so on The Driverless Future: Buses, Not Taxis · · Score: 1

    A 12 minute drive with a BIG price tag attached to it.

  24. Re:Eliminating the bus driver is Pareto-stupid on The Driverless Future: Buses, Not Taxis · · Score: 1

    The buses where I live are clean, efficient and go everywhere. As an American its a fucking shame that more people dont ride the bus. Its not shameful or dirty, and its costs WAY less than a car.

  25. Re:Eliminating the bus driver is Pareto-stupid on The Driverless Future: Buses, Not Taxis · · Score: 1

    Then why arent you petitioning your government for more public transport to alleviate the crush?
