  1. Re:Thanks a whole fucking bunch on Konami Cuts and Runs From Iraq War Game · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It was too close to real life. How can the Army recruit kids if the kids realize they don't respawn at the end of the round?[SEE:America's Army]

  2. Re:USA-style solution: on UK Government To Monitor All Internet Use · · Score: 1

    The reason is, is because there are many rights.. By their very nature, they are not supposed to be able to be taken away. By writing them down, the thought was that this enumerated *all* of the rights a citizen had, which would lead to the government trying to work around them. By not writing them down, this was supposed to ensure that if a government ability wasn't enumerated, the right was reserved to the citizens. That same conflict occured in the formation of the US of A and the signing of the Constitution. The Federals did not want them written down, because they feared that by doing so, the government would assume the non-enumerated rights and wittle away at the enumerated rights. But a comprise was made for the Constitution...and we have the Bill of Rights(a list of supposedly the most important ones). Profact: The Constitution and then-established laws were originally a limitation on the ability of the government. The intent was to say"If it's not here, it's reserved for the States or the people". You can thank Abraham Lincoln for shitting on that idea.

  3. Didn't they on FCC Seeks To Improve US Broadband Access · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Try this already? What..with the billions of dollars given to them already...and monopolies given to them..the tax breaks...etc. This is just buying some CEO a new boat.

  4. I present on Fairpoint Pledges To Violate Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    the first of many. and not comments. I mean Fairpoint communications. How soon until it no longer matters whether or not someone wants network neutrality and the ISP's just don't follow through anyways?

  12. The one problem on FBI Renews Push for ISP Data Retention Laws · · Score: 1

    I see today is that most people just.don't.plain.care. Most of the people I've talked don't really care that they have no privacy. They say "So? They'll get a list of porn sites and tech sites?" I know anecdotal evidence doesn't prove much, but I fear that most people just don't care enough.

    not another victory for this POS product. I have to use it for my own studies and half the time *I can't even log in*, let alone do anything useful. Arbitrarily laggy with random disconnects. And most of my professors use it minimally, if it at all. Stupid POS.
