    GoDaddy supports SOPA.

    All it takes is a single infringement by law to remove your domain.

    Do you really wish to play russian roulette with your domains?

    I've thought of a clever solution to the copyright problem.

    Make a law that makes copyright longevity equal to the life expectancy of an American.

    So you wanna make copyright last longer? Raise the standard of living.

    I do wonder if it is the default, though.

    Yes and no.

    No as in when you first load up the new version, you get to choose whether you want the option.

    Yes as in if you use EasyPrivacy it's enabled by default.

  12. Re:Not the way to do this on Anonymous Threatens Robin Hood Attacks Against Banks · · Score: 2

    There are a lot of things wrong with this. First off, for those people whose info gets stolen, they are out money until the banks go through the process of reimbursing them. With the numbers of people that would be affected by this, that could take a while. So, people will be short of cash at a time when they need it most: the holidays.

    This is a brilliant plan if they can actually pull it off at a high enough scale. This forces people to NOT spend for the holidays. Big banks (Visa gets a cut everytime you use your credit card!) and retailers like Walmart take a hit.

  14. Re:Crazy idea, I know... on Ubisoft Blames Piracy For Non-Release of PC Game · · Score: 1

    This is a load of shit.

    First of all, if there was a memory glitch that corrupted a file/code in memory, you're much more likely to just CRASH.

    Second, the chances of it being beneficial are even more negligible. Again, you're just gonna crash and burn, either the OS or the game, or be unable to see something important.

    Third, they have flags and when a flag is arisen they watch you more carefully. They don't VAC ban anyone immediately when you are suspicious, they wait 2-4 weeks after the fact (1. so hackers can't determine what caused it to go off, and 2. to verify you are cheating and not just a random fuckup)

    Fourth, they have made a mistake and not only fixed it by unbanning but also giving out a free game: http://gamingbolt.com/valve-to-unban-steam-modern-warfare-2-players (however, MW games are much more sensitive in that any file modification matters. in a game like TF2 you can replace all the models most of the time and as long as they don't give a huge advantage valve won't actually care)
