Hey, I know you did it as a joke. The problem is, its not funny. This crap isn't funny on any level, meta or otherwise. The fact that so many people are actually talking about this idiotic news is beyond sad.
This crap isn't news, it isn't for nerds, and it doesn't matter.
Its bullshit for teenage girls, stuff that nobody gives a damn about.
ACLU is a group of idealists interested in a safe and free democratic system in which killing would never be necessary.
NRA is a group of idealists thinking they could actually do something if killing became necessary.
Despite all of that, I wish we didn't have our kids pledge allegiance to the flag and instead had them spend more time respecting the constitution and its interpretations.
Cute, asshole, but your arrogance is awe inspiring! You seem to think that somehow your comments are the single thread we are looking at. The reality, however, is that we're reading vast threads that eventually get so long you can't tell where one stops and one ends. There's a reason its customary to bottom post, as it gives a simple preface to what you're doing. You seem to think that we read the entire quote as opposed to just recall what we were thinking about when we first read the post.
Bingo, thanks. I actually view the firebombings to be one of the many horrific things done in World War 2. That is the shit that happens when two nations go to war, however. Pretty natural I guess, but certainly not idyllic.
In the words of Ron Perlman: War, War Never Changes.
Oh yes, Japanese culture was so harmonious before they got nuked. The occupations of Manchuria and Vietnam were happy frolics. Their soldiers just gleefully raped the Nanking Chinese as nature intended.
Jesus, I don't know if you're deluded or an idiot.
The whole problem isn't stealing it, its the functionality that is lost to prevent you from stealing your own media. In the article a guy wasn't allowed to shift the movie he paid for to a projector to watch it. That is a problem.
I injected caustic stuff in there because down the road the GGP went nuts on some guy who didn't deserve it and I felt like trying to find some flames for his dumbass since he did deserve it.
Regardless, you're right about HDCP but since they were talking about formats I saw a nice hole to make fun of the asshole with.
I still stand by my point however, doing something morally questionable(in a great deal of slashdot's eyes) for money doesn't make you an organization to look up to. It makes you a whore.
Cry me a river, you fanboy. It is only insightful because it fits with your broken little worldview. Read the god damn article; it has nothing to do with Blu-Ray and everything to do with the iTunes Store FairPlay Version 3 DRM.
They implemented this crap because if they say no and stick up for their consumers they know they'll get passed by other parties as a content delivery method. They decided to be evil because it grants increased profits. Deal with it.
Doesn't rightly matter, if the employee is wasting off the clock time you fire them. You don't get to say "Well you weren't doing a good enough job here, so I'm going to not pay you for it."
Graphics are actually one very heavily used thing in congress. Nearly every senator puts one up when they're talking about something and the reps like to put one up and hoot in front of it while throwing shit at each other. One of these days I hope a representative decides to put up a picture of Goatse.
Anyway, I went off on a tangent. Point is, folks use graphs to prove their point all the time in government. Doesn't change the fact that nobody cares.
Jesus Christ! The world is not "left wing" and "right wing". For example, lets call communism a situation without property ownership and capitalism a situation with it. Now which of these needs to be imposed by force of arms? Both!
Get rid of this left wing/right wing bullshit and think of economic policies as just that: economic policies. Then think of social policies as social policies. It is NOT that god damn HARD.
The event could be interpreted as being the development of a plan to break the law, since that was why charges were brought. Even still, the worst damage may not have been done in all cases.
Yep, the only reason the police tell someone their 5th amendment rights is to make sure they don't confess to things they don't have to due to fear of authority reprisal. If you don't know the individual is police, there is no possible way you think they'll put you in jail for not telling them something.
I think the issue here is that the courts shouldn't be legislating from the bench, basically. Folks don't want the navy doing this stuff, they should get congress to pass a law.
While I consider the issue to merit investigation, I agree that the court shouldn't be creating new laws. Go yell at your congresscritters.
The first guy said: "I've never lived in a city which turned off their streetlights for part of the night, so I'm not sure what consumption change would be possible there."
The second guy said: "They don't care what time it is, if it's dark they're on."
The third guy said: "And DST has what impact on the length of darkness?"
The second and the third guy were saying the same thing. You and the third guy have no idea how to read.

Don't think too hard about it.

Yeah, tell that to the kids who got polio.

I'm saying it right now. You can quote me. That will NOT happen.

I drink a ton of diet tea myself, and its all about weighing risks:
1) Eat a bunch of sugar and you get the terrible pains in old age that obesity and diabetes cause.
2) Eat a bunch of vegetables and you get viruses from the water used to irrigate them.
3) Eat a bunch of red meat and maybe get bowel problems.
4) Eat a bunch of chicken and contribute to the destruction of your environment due to a cavalcade of chicken shit.
5) Eat a bullet and dream without worry.
They both have multiplayer aspects, are you crazy?
Trolling is a slashdot tradition.
You must be new here.

If they're wasting ON the clock time, sorry.

Semantics!

Still, its not a subject worth arguing over.

Exactly! What we need to do is trap the carbon it makes and somehow dispose of it. Perhaps in some sort of landfill system.
Information in that sense can be a weapon, but it is only a true weapon when coupled with censorship.
A sort of in-network plan or something might be better for you then, if both you and your wife are on the same provider.
