    Whoever made those posters is a big fat asshole.

    I thought those were called coupons.

    Cession from the union requires congressional approval.

  4. Re:The Patent Claims Sender Not Message Context on Company Claims Patent On Spam Filtering, Sues World · · Score: 1

    I would like very much if Gmal allowed you to specify custom filters, which include the option to REJECT mail instead of just spam filter it.

    In particular, any mail that fails either an SPF or DKIM check is automatically either sender-forged or tampered with mid-transit, so it's bogus by definition.

  5. Re:make sense? on Facebook Wants Ownership Case Thrown Out · · Score: 1

    Right, so I should completely ignore everything NewYorkCountryLawyer says...

  6. Re:When elephants fight... on Google Spent $100M Defending Viacom Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Simple.

    You pay a shitload on legal expenses even if you have to pay a judgement.

    It's the difference between 100 million and 200 million.

    Connivance.

    It's possible GP was talking about the book deal instead of Viacom v. Youtube.

  9. Re:A possible fix: on Google Spent $100M Defending Viacom Lawsuit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, the US legal system is wonderful...if you happen to be a lawyer.

    And guess the number one profession of pre-election representatives to be?

  10. why? on Murdoch's UK Paywall a Miserable Failure · · Score: 1

    Why don't I pay for content behind a paywall?

    Well, apart from the selfish adverseness to paying up common to every other greedy human being, I find micropayment based paywalls to be nothing but a major hassle.

    A flat monthly subscription fee combined with one time login would be much more attractive.

  11. Re:"Leaks" on Latest Version of ACTA Leaks · · Score: 1

    Such regularity suggests that the ACTA negotiations might very well have a mole.

  12. They had to know... on Cisco Says Vegas Conference Attendees' Information Was Leaked · · Score: 1

    it was a gamble.

  13. Re:Rights Holder on UK Royalty Group Wants ISPs To Pay For Pirating Customers · · Score: -1

    It should be.

    However, ISPs that have knowledge or notice of infringement should be on the hook as well.

    Copyright infringement is a federal offense, and as a criminal act it is a common enemy of society that all entities share a responsibility in mitigating.

    No SHIT sherlock...

  15. Simple. on Given Truth, the Misinformed Believe Lies More · · Score: 1

    People don't like changing their minds, and spamming them with truth only makes them dig their heels in deeper.

  16. Re:One maybe bad aspect of IPv6? on Spammers Moving To Disposable Domains · · Score: 2, Interesting

    To make a TCP connection both ends have to have routable addresses.

    Sooner or later either they'll all have common subnets, or they'll cause a noticeable spike in routing traffic.

    ZOMG MARK OF THE BEAST MARK OF THE BEAST!!!1!!

    Seriously, do you know how many tin foil hatters would scream bloody murder if the government even tried something like that?

    That's called liability insurance.

    Life isn't fair because the money men running the show make it that way.

  22. Re:Two oddities on Long-Term Liability For One-Time Security Breaches? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The problem is that identity theft is profitable for more than just the thief.

    The credit bureaus make shitloads of money from identity thieves taking out loans and triggering credit reports.

  23. Re:Is it fair? on Long-Term Liability For One-Time Security Breaches? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not everyone has the choice to "man up".

    I could go on numerous examples but the biggest would be mandatory disclosure of information to an incompetent government.

    And don't even think of telling me that "I could always choose to go to jail" when doing so means I get my prints and mug shot forcibly taken anyway.

    You have to wonder what's going on when having a broken out of date IE6 is considered a feature in corporate environments on account of how badly it breaks facebook and youtube.

    Politics is never easy.

    Especially when the various members have a way to profit from making things proprietary at the expense of everyone else.

    The recent wrangle on a standard video codec is a prime example with everyone pushing their own pet patented algorithm.
