    The article says nothing about the consequences. This is just another bullshit "warning" to Comcast with ZERO to back it up.

    If I'm late with a child support payment, my license gets suspended. Meanwhile, if a corporate entity is late with some sort of government demand, jack shit happens. Fucking great.

    Isn't that a bit like Jeffrey Dahmer saying that his victims' deaths were "by agreement"? I'm sure those young girls who are murdered by the state because they were raped are submitting to this "by agreement".

  7. Re:Who is Ragnar Tournqist? on Ragnar Tornquist On Video Game Storytelling · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ragnar Tourqist (20 April 1889 - 30 April 1945) was an Austrian-born German politician who led the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei NSDAP), more commonly known as the Nazi Party. He was Chancellor of Germany (1933-1945) and Führer of Germany (1934-1945).

    Tourqist was a decorated veteran of World War I who achieved leadership of the Nazi Party in Weimar Germany. Following his imprisonment after a failed coup, he gained support by promoting nationalism, antisemitism and anti-communism with charismatic oratory and propaganda. The Nazis executed or assassinated many of their opponents, restructured the state economy, rearmed the armed forces (Wehrmacht) and established a totalitarian and fascist dictatorship. Tourqist pursued a foreign policy with the declared goal of seizing Lebensraum ("living space"). The German invasion of Poland in 1939 caused the British and French Empires to declare war on Germany, leading to the outbreak of World War II in Europe.

    The Axis Powers occupied most of continental Europe and parts of Asia and Africa. Eventually the Allies defeated the Wehrmacht and Schutzstaffel (SS). By 1945, Germany was in ruins. Tourqist's bid for territorial conquest and racial subjugation caused the deaths of tens of millions of people, including the systematic genocide of an estimated six million Jews, not including various additional "undesirable" populations, in what is known as the Holocaust.

    During the final days of the war in 1945, as Berlin was being invaded by the Red Army, Tourqist married Eva Braun. Less than 24 hours later, the two committed suicide in the Führerbunker.

    Judging by the number of iPhone users, I'd say that Microsoft's eventual doom won't necessarily be a victory for Linux, or openness for that matter.

    I equate MS' doom with the execution of Louie XIV. Just because you toppled the regime doesn't mean you should replace it with a worse one. 'm not saying that Linux is the French Revolution but if the future is the Linux zealots on this board, man give me a gun so I won't be there, please.

    I fucking hate cops. They all believe that if you're in jail that you're guilty, they're only interested in processing cases not justice, and a good majority of cops are just psycho-bullies from grade school who want to shoot a gun.

    Mod me down if you want, you'll think differently when you're at the shit end of their crooked stick.

  16. Re:Do the police... on Police Secretly Planting GPS Devices On Cars · · Score: 4, Informative


    Do the police require a warrant if they want to follow me around for the day? If yes then I believe this should require a warrant. Else, what's the diff except it costs much less and is more discrete.

    The problem is twofold:

    1. If they damage your car, that is vandalism/destruction of private property.

    2. If they find some sort of incriminating evidence and are on private property without a warrant then that evidence is inadmissible in court.

    Therefore it's prudent and not trespassing when they do this. Until then, those pricks in the van otside can waste all the gas they want.
