  1. Re:Intellectual property is a hoax. on WikiLeaks Releases the Secret Draft Text of the TPP IP Rights Chapter · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I have created plenty, and I give it all away. Standing on the shoulders of giants and all that. The difference is i dont attempt to make things just to profit from them. I design with the idea that whatever I make is already owed to the cultural that educated me.

    O look, someone with a vested interest telling us its good for us......

    Which is EXACTLY what the RIAA tried to do to the first MP3 player. Those moments turned me into a lifelong enemy of ALL copyright. I have seen copyright stifle too much innovation for it to be useful to society in its current incarnation. The verdict is vengeance, a vendetta.

  4. Re:Every print magazine left. on How Blockbuster Could Have Owned Netflix · · Score: 1

    Should roads? should schools? USPS is social infrastructure, profit/loss is hard to measure and a bit irrelevant, especially considering our military budget.

    Getting rid of their commissioned sales force is what killed them.

    IN a fully realized system, you will have one big Steam Machine running Win/Mac/Linux and little linux based streamers to each TV.

    Goddamnit, USPS is not supposed to be profitable. Its a function of the Republic.

    The problem is that we want what the consoles have. A LOT more cores, GDDR5 and hUMA.

    This guy gets it. I am doing the exact same thing, hoarding the stuff that greed tries to lock away.

  10. Re:Hoarders on Netflix, Youtube Surpass 50% Mark of Internet Traffic · · Score: 2

    The netflix version of TNG looks like crap compared to the Blu-Ray re-masters. Also, things disappear off Netflix. After King of the Hill disappeared, i DLed the whole series.

  11. Re:Hoarders on Netflix, Youtube Surpass 50% Mark of Internet Traffic · · Score: 1

    I have focused on making sure my video system can patch up any holes in the streamers lineups, rather then a massive bulk collection.

  12. Re:USPS is still important on US Postal Service To Make Sunday Deliveries For Amazon · · Score: 2

    It doesnt matter. Mail service is a function of a Republic. We piss away billions in military spending, start there.

  13. Re:what? on US Postal Service To Make Sunday Deliveries For Amazon · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Fuck you. Reliable mail service to 99% of addresses is the mark of an advanced Republic. I dont care how much money it loses, its a vital piece of infrastructure.

  14. Re:Still stealin... on Next World of Warcraft Expansion: Warlords of Draenor · · Score: 1

    Actually the floor level of graphics is rising VERY fast. Pumping out upscaled 1080p will be trivial for pretty much any CPU once broadwell comes on the scene.

  15. Re:Shockingly Similar on CIA Pays AT&T Millions To Voluntarily Provide Call Data · · Score: 1

    The simple words should be 'I do not consent to search'. What and why could be misconstrued.

    Last i checked, the 4th is still in effect. Electronic comms are CLEARLY to be considered 'papers and effects'. Anyone who disagrees is a traitor.

    Xbox is the ONLY device that does this. Its absurd and you are making excuses for it.

    I saw a doctor for shots for school, and then not once after that until i was at least 12 when i needed stitches. Birth to 18, almost no health care at all.

    That value you espouse is eating the country from the inside. I dont give a fuck how important you think it is, when those that engage it step over the line, its time for sunshine sanitation.

    I am so sick of Google being annoying as fuck. NO i dont want to sign new terms of service, i dont give a fuck about having an SMS emergency contact, no i will NOT provide my real name to youtube and SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT GOOGLE+. In the last year google has gotten incredibly annoying with notifications.

    Dont equate Civil Infractions with Misdemeanors, they are distinct legal things.

    Look man, i know they look fat, but ANY American football player would crush you with his athleticism. There is no room for carrying people in the NFL, its just that competitive. I dont even like football, but holy shit are you wrong.

    It would more accurately match the reality that a human can come up and execute you at any moment, anywhere. Since that is the plain truth, why not be prepared for it?
