  2. genius on The Internet Archive To Pay Salaries Partly In Bitcoin, Requests Donations · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well that's a genius move to getting government attention.

    Get bitcoin mixed up with payroll and the IRS is sure to take interest with regards to income taxes.

    This is going to get interesting very fast.

    That's brilliant. After that all you have to do is look for whoever has a plump red face.

    Indeed, in your case hiring an exterminator might make more sense than hiring a security guard.

    I'd like to know what "accept" means.

    Is it that they have to let their operation get fucked over, or merely that they have to use the airwaves at their own risk not unlike swimming in a river without a lifeguard.

    On PCs we like to call that Trusted Computing.

    Actually, rooting the PS3 gets you sued.

    I wouldn't call that "free" by any long stretch of the word.

    I thought that they were manufactured in Japan.

  10. Re:How have patents helped the world lately? on The Patents That Threaten 3-D Printing · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That would be better than the present state of affairs where patents are used to force monopolies on the market and the small inventors get screwed over anyway by getting bullied out of the courtroom with superior legal budgets.

    The small guy will get fucked over anyway, may as well make it so that the big evil corporations don't get all the windfall.

    I wouldn't mind it so much if H1B's were actually able to shop around.

    Monsanto is a big corporation and a well represented special interest.

    Therefore, they will win.

    I'd rather just say "fuck the chinese" since they're busy ripping us off six ways from sunday and take care of our own damn economy.

    Given enough demand I'm sure that our local farmers can be kept busy making honey for us.

  20. Re:Not a technical solution on Do Not Track Ineffective and Dangerous, Says Researcher · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Wrong.

    Tracking is not a technical problem in the first place. It's an economic and social problem where people choose to track visitors on purpose for the sake of advertising revenue.

    It's not a technical problem because it's working exactly as intended.

  21. evil bit on Do Not Track Ineffective and Dangerous, Says Researcher · · Score: 4, Funny

    Next up, being unarmed and begging pretty please shown not to prevent robberies.

    This is just like the evil bit. Anything requiring cooperation from assholes is doomed to failure.

  22. nt on Is It Possible To Erase Yourself From the Internet? · · Score: 1

    1. You need to vanish from the internet yourself
    2. you need the total cooperation of the admin of every server your info has shown up on.
    3. you need the total cooperation of everyone who could put your information back on

    In short, it's an exercise in diplomacy and social engineering. It has little to do with technical issues.

  23. nt on Is It Possible To Erase Yourself From the Internet? · · Score: 1

    All it takes is one asshole figuring out your real name and bam, they can streisand your identity all over the internet across a bunch of servers.

    And all it takes is one asshole sysop to say "fuck no" to your request to disappear and you're stuck.

    Once your data is on someone else's server, you are at their mercy and they have you by the balls.

    I'd actually be curious how ethanol does versus gas and oil once BOTH sides have all their subsidies removed.

    Subsidies are a pox on the free market.
