if enough legitimate users rise up, doesn't it throw the entire position of megaupload only "existing for piracy" into question?
Labouring under the false assumption that the MAFIAA and their lapdogs care about the rule of law. The tipping point was Mega readying the launch of a streaming service.
it really is; glad they're around, but you ever notice they never have a cure? Not even if it was half a mil for a one-time cure; their business is repeat customers with literally life-long lock-in.
Big Pharma: drug dealers in every sense of the phrase.
Seriously; we need a way to keep track of the personal finances of everyone ruling against FOSS with no real, valid reason given. From junior patent examiners to international jurists; are they and their families living beyond their means with no honest, visible means of support.
I will say one thing about Mormons... of all the people I've met of different religions, Mormons were by far the nicest and most genuine people. They actually try and live the tenants of their religion. I'm an atheist, but if I had to pick a religion to follow because I wanted the culture, I'd pick being a Mormon. I hate alcohol anyway.:)
You might not have a choice, just like his ardent atheist Father-in-Law. After he died, the Romney clan (having already indoctrinated the rest of the in-laws) had ol' father-in-law posthumously baptised and added to the Mormon roles - COMPLETELY against his explicit wishes. Citation? Gawker (yeah, I know, but doubt they made it all up)
How do you think the concept of Separation of Church and State would fare under President Romney? How about your rights to be left alone even after death?
Finding a way to unlock and defeat H1N1, et al will continue to be massively underfunded because drones are cooler and my taxes are just too damn high.
Other than the Taliban, there cannot be another movement more out of sync with real Rock n' Roll attitudes than the GOP. Hell, they're even against the act of what that phrase originally referred to.
If there were any poetic justice in the world, the Republican party would only be allowed to use empty, jingoistic, might-makes-right music - known more commonly as Country.
If you've embraced the hide-bound, misogynistic, corporatist world-view of the right, you are not allowed to use the cool music. No. Not yours.
Imagine what a bunch of motivated, reasonably intelligent people with good communications and technical skill could do.
Unlike their right-wing counterparts, so willing to check their individualism at the party door and march in lock step, we leftys, believing in the rights and privacies of the person over the state, end up self-fracturing along niche ideological lines and end up as effective as a herd of cats. Example: 'Screw the Democratic machine, I'm supporting Ralph Nader'.
does this too. I always assumed it was for them to spout 'if you can find a lower price, we'll match it' horseshit without fear of ever having to pony up.
Did anyone else picture this guy throwing a tantrum and raging like a toddler when they read the summary? I think that's a fair description of what's going on here.
And a chillingly-accurate description of an average American CEO. They may teach ethics in Business School (more as comic relief, I'd wager), but there is no way they even broach the subjects of selflessness and maturity.
Whatever the Engineers (Creators) are paid, it will always be less than the salesmen (type-a conmen) - sometimes to the point of of an ipecac-type response.
(1) You are bigoted against creationists? Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Hindus?
Yes I am, given that as movements, they're all guilty of theft, murder, rape, and genocide, all justified In The Name Of... and have turned what could be a paradise of enlightenment and progress into a living hell of violence and proud ignorance. Oh, and misogyny; never forget their common ground of misogyny.
'States Rights' as in: a State's right to enslave, punish, or persecute the minority races, religions, or sexual orientations. That's the main problem with Libertarianism: the chant of 'get government off our backs' frequently harbors some very evil motivations.

Oh, by all means Ralph; vote 3rd party so we can have another Florida 2000.

To quote Greg Proops vis-a-vis China becoming the dominant world power: 'Oh, you're going to miss US when we're gone.'
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could that they didn't stop to think if they should. "
If the US launched an explicit military attack on Iran, about half of those flags would disappear - along with their flag poles.

How about passing a law that says if you believe you have nothing to hide, you are forbidden from wearing clothes. Ever.
