  1. Re:Oh, Canada on Canadian SOPA Could Target YouTube · · Score: 1

    I prefer the term "media cartels"

    I think Content Lords more accurately describes their attitude of being better than everyone else - including about 3,000 years of jurisprudence.

  2. Less of a threat on States Using Cloud Based Voting System For Overseas Citizens · · Score: 2

    than the GOP trotting out their 'must be this rich and white' voter ID laws wherever and as quickly as they can. Poll taxes are back.

    When demographics give you racially impure lemons, destroy free and fair elections as you see fit.

  3. EU could become solvent again on New EU Legal Privacy Framework: We're Not Kidding · · Score: 2

    if they offered citizenships overseas for say, $100 a year. The additional rights and privacies would more than pay for the fee - and maybe get you out of NDAA Gitmo without passing Go.

  4. Re:HAS TO officially respond? on MPAA-Dodd Investigation Petition Reaches Goal · · Score: 1

    ...chuckle-fest in the back room over brandy on the rocks.

    Wow, the situation is Washington is worse than I ever feared.

  5. Wow on Supreme Court Rules Warrants Needed for GPS Monitoring · · Score: 0

    Did both Roberts and ThomasScalia forget to show up that day? This ruling is completely at odds with their pro police state belief set.

  6. Re:Electric Charging Stations on The Coda Electric Car at the Detroit International Auto Show (Video) · · Score: 1

    Yes, I'd rather walk from the back of the parking lot, too. Plus, my hooptie is less likely to get scratched that way.

    And much more likely to go missing or come up a catalytic converter and air bag or two short. And for women and the elderly, there are other obvious issues too.

  7. I don't get it on DoD Using Plant DNA To Combat Counterfeit Parts · · Score: 1

    Isn't now child's play to replicate DNA and put it where you wish (also coming soon to corrupt cops near you)? They may even be qualitfied vendors, but rubber stamping a component doesn't mean the innards are what they should be (including ghost circuitry lovingly crafted by PRC military hackers).

  8. or on Megaupload.com Shut Down, Founder Charged With Piracy · · Score: 1

    we all stop buying (and stealing) ALL music and movies, along with no longer watching television (most especially sports) and radio. Make your own music, read books from a lending library or used book store. Do something else with your and probably drop 40 pounds in the process. They can't put us in their prison if we completely stop funding them.

  9. remove and replace on Sir Tim Berners-Lee Speaks Out On SOPA · · Score: 1

    Freedom of communication, speech, association, congregation are corporate rights.

  10. Don't ignore the real threat on Sir Tim Berners-Lee Speaks Out On SOPA · · Score: 1

    A bill still wending it's way through the corrupt halls of Congress would require anyone registering (and I bet renewing) a domain to provide a real, meatspace-verified identity so they can be easily found by the MAFIAA and the State's security organs (some duplication here).

    You can't have a free society without privacy and we're still on track to prove it.

  11. Nerds love guns too on NYPD Developing Portable Body Scanner For Detecting Guns · · Score: 1

    but I doubt many have used them winningly in a Meatspace Hero boss fight, nor faced the consequences. If you do shoot someone to 'save the day', try to make sure they're friendless orphans with no gang affiliations.

  12. Downside on Town Turns Off the Lights To See the Stars · · Score: 1

    Once they switched the lights back on, everything except their telescopes had been burgled.

  13. The ghost of Tom Pendergast on Google Fiber Work Hung Up In Kansas City · · Score: 1
  14. Facebook on SOPA and PIPA So Far · · Score: 1

    Fucking cowards. They could have killed these babies in their corrupt MAFIAA bassinets with the flick of a switch, as helll hath no fury like grandmothers cut off from their grandchildrens' pages.

  15. So its on June 6 Is World IPv6 Day 2012: This Time For Keeps · · Score: 1

    the catch is that they won't serve you those as a response unless your /32 is on the list of vetted ISPs.

    So it's more like ipVIP6.

    /Champagne Room Router

  16. One-time Pads on June 6 Is World IPv6 Day 2012: This Time For Keeps · · Score: 1

    made up of IPv6 addresses...

  17. Re:Summary is wrong on Hackers Steal $6.7M In Bank Cyber Heist · · Score: 1

    42m Rand is not 6.7m USD, it is more like 5.2m.

    And no doubt falling like a stone on this news.

  18. Not in Texas on Apple Intends To 'Digitally Destroy' Textbook Publishing · · Score: 1

    Unless Apple is willing to only sell high school textbooks that state Jebus rode dinosaurs to church (yes: Church, not temple), they won't be selling iBooks nor iPads there nor to most of the Southeast US 'public' schools.

  19. Sad on Koobface Malware Traced To 5 Russians · · Score: 2

    We (US-ians) can croak known terrorists on foreign soils without much in the way of permission, but we can't get these guys?

  20. Re:More things to patent.... on Microsoft Announces ReFS, a New Filesystem For Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Sounds like they're due for a refresh so they can get some new patents on their filesystem to make sure all the device makers need to continue to pay them money.

    Dunno why this was modded to Funny; based on their Android blackmail scheme (and ARM devices), this is exactly what they will be doing.

  21. Extra-governmental entities on Copyright Lobby Wants Canada Out of TPP Until Stronger Copyright Laws Passed · · Score: 2

    The right-wing always frets about the dreaded UN wanting to control the world. But about the MAFIAA and Standard & Poors (who made money in the sub-prime pyramid scheme) being allowed to literally threaten and destabilize entire governments, they say not one harsh word.

  22. North Korea on Statisticians Uncover the Mathematics of a Serial Killer · · Score: 2

    Makes you wonder if this might be fertile ground for (non-government sanctioned) serial killers as well, given that people no doubt disappear all the time and no one is foolish enough to ask about them. Chikatilo might turn out to be a piker.

  23. Blow Free or Die on Drone Guides Fuel Shipment to Alaskan Town · · Score: 1

    Might turn out the only future enclaves of freedom and privacy in the US will be where there is near-ubiquitous wind.

  24. Perfect match on BASF Moves GM Plant Research From Europe To US · · Score: 1

    with the moving of infectious animal disease research from Plum ISLAND to Manhattan, Kansas - in eye sight of the football stadium, basketball coliseum, and rec center of Kansas State University. Pork-barrel projects: WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

  25. You're missing on Is E85 Dead Now? · · Score: 1

    the key component: water. IIRC, most US corn production is not dry land, but irregated, so add in the energy required to pump water we really can't afford (deeper and deeper wells, chasing rapidly dropping water tables).
