    You want a meaning?
    The figure is LOW, if anything, but slashfags need their weekly circle jerk about how the government is evil, copyright is unjust, piracy isn't stealing, and information wants to be free.

    It's Friday and we needed to get the nerds off before the long weekend. It was the best we could come up with.

    We'll make up for it on Tuesday, though, with some drudged up FUD about some company doing something that nerds can rage over.

    99% of the time it's a code monkey from India who desires to simply get a job for Visa status, wiggle into a role of writing/supporting web applications in 1, 2 languages tops, and then do a mediocre job of it due to lack of actual knowledge and prior experience.

    "So basically you are implying that average people are idiots compared to this person."

    No I am not.
    In fact I imply the opposite - I am citing his errors as evidence while I point out the absurdity of his claim.

    You are correct when you say that not committing those errors would not imply intelligence, but the converse (that committing them implies a lack of intelligence) holds true, if only due to the high correlation between intelligence and the mastery of common systems such as grammar, math, logic, etc.

    It was an example, dipshit.

    And if people DID revolt in large numbers, the government wouldn't be using tanks to stop them.

    If they were dumb enough to try that, they'd splinter the military. You'd have supporters of the revolution in the military,

  13. Re:Hm. on Educause Announces Plans To Sign .edu TLD With DNSSEC · · Score: 5, Informative

    The itnernets is a freeway.

    DNSSEC is basically a signature on all the freeway signs.

    becomes

    school.edu - 5 miles

    This way those punks at pornschool.com can't put up their own fake freeway signs that say "school.edu - next exit" in an attempt to make you get off when you don't want to.

    Nintendo has some harsh official restrictions, sure. (They even demand you have an actual office.)

    No. "Meta" is the most overused bullshit term ever.

    It simply means "about".

    Any "mata" data has to be external.
    You can't have an object with internal meta data (about itself) because that data's existence (regardless of it's content) alters the object, and is part of it.

    Even if it were self-referential, it's not meta.
    And even if you want to use the word meta to describe it, the shape of a physical object is certainly not meta data. If we're referring to an object as data, then the entirety of the object's physical state must be described as such.
