  1. Re:The court is right on YouTube Ordered To Remove "Illegal" Copyright Blocking Notices · · Score: 1

    There is a big condition, spelt out in the very word "speech".

    Crying FIRE in a theater is not speech. Talking with co-conspirators about a crime is not speech. Telling your henchmen to kill someone is not speech. They are spoken words, but they are not speech as the First Amendment is talking about.

    On another note, the freedom of religion does not allow human sacrifice to appease the gods. Are you against that interpretation as well?

    Good response, AK.

    Teenagers these days. They think that because they have the entire internet at their beck and call, if they don't know something it doesn't exist.

    Which really invalidates the reason of having the internet at one's beck and call in the first place.

    I've been an M$ hater for many years now, with just cause, and will never change. They had their chance. I liked win3 - 3.11, then came win95

    Ever program on a Win95 system? After spending an hour typing code, you go to save your work, only to see the system lock up and crash .. and you lose a pile of good starter code. I quickly learned to save after every line of code. Purely asinine ..

    Then you had a bad system. I'm an old school hater of M$ as well, but have to side with them on that issue. If your system was that flakey, it was bad hardware or third party drivers. I worked on many computers that were flakey just from dust buildup or cable connections that needed to be re-seated. Crappy drivers and installed programs caused many issues too. But the main OS was stable enough to be on all day with decent hardware and software installed.

    How long does the cult leader have to be dead before the cult can be recognized as a religion?

    That depends on whether it was a natural death (i.e. old age), a death from the hands of his enemies, a death from disease, or simply an accident. Since Job's death was from disease (cancer), the prescribed period is 1147 days, which is just under 164 weeks. The weird coincidence is that Steve Jobs didn't actually like apple pi.

    The local Fish & Wildlife office here in Florida has a freezer in their meeting room that is specifically for storing dead bald eagles, if they ever happen to find one in the wilderness, or if one is killed by a vehicle on the road.

    I read the page of instructions of how they are to be handled and preserved, and which agency they call to collect the remains, for them to be distributed to the Native American tribes. Everything was very detailed, which was weird considering they are talking about roadkill.

    I didn't know that Jerry the Mouse had a last name. But I'm not surprised that it is "Smith". Better duck back into your mousehole before Tom sees you on the owner's computer. :^)

    Also, I think your rant out birds of prey is from a personal point of view, Jerry. The only bird you liked was the little yellow duckling. I loved your show by the way. Keep up the good work.

    For the record, I don't have particularly strong ties to any of the political or economic systems in use today, and would not miss them a bit if they all simply vanished and were replaced by Kang and Kodos.

    You're right. We'll never get the CO2 out of the air. Once it's in the stratosphere, it's there forever.

    Oh, wait a second. I think they did invent something that removes CO2 from the atmosphere. Do you have any "CO2-Removal Plants" in your area? You should talk to your village elders about getting some.

    You aren't allowed to make that argument on Slashdot. There is a posse of moderators who hate people that point out the truth that the US is not identical to Europe, and what works in small and (I'll say it) densely populated countries will work in a large country with people living spread all over thousands of miles.
