  3. Re:Good luck getting BitTorrent installed on At Universal's Request, YouTube Yanks News Podcast Over Music Snippet · · Score: 1

    Firstly the method of distribution can be different from the method of discovery, you can post a link if G+/twitter etc. Regarding clients, I have no clever ideas, however at some point computers did not have web browsers, and later web browsers did not have flash. Is a decent solution was found the software would be written and distributed. The current solution to streaming videos is insane and doesn't scale well, its only the big players who can afford to support streaming (even they struggle to provide a decent service) and they like the barriers to entry. I had high hopes for the original iplayer method of distribution however that seems to have died now.

    Thats some great circular logic there. We allow corporates to donate because corporates fund our politicians.

    You can take your threats of violence and shove it up your ass. Do you really expect to force people to take an action and expect to get a positive result out of it. When deciding to use force on a group of people you better have a bloody good reason for it. I see no proof that using violence will provide a positive outcome, there is however evidence that using violence (or threat of) causes harm.

    There is this new technology called bittorrent. I hear its great for distributing large amounts of data.

    Why the fuck do you allow corporates to donate to political parties?

    "Without Christ I would have no morals," Doesn't that make you rather pathetic?

    Perhaps, but being able to sometimes perceive more that the surface meaning of a post makes me feel a little better.

    I don't understand the AC either...

    I would assert that the people that constitute the government and the people are one and the same, not separate entities. If a new government really was a proirity for the people of any given country then the existing government would be swept away, foot on the throat or not.

    Without Christ I would have no morals, have nothing to live for, and nothing to look forward to after I die!

    There's this little thing called Ethics which people use to try and live good lives. Might be interesting to you. Personally I don't need to look forward to the day my conscience vanishes, or I meet an old man in the sky. I'm having plenty fun right now.

    I'm not convinced that the world would be a better place if the sick people did not have religion.

    crazies will be crazy, with or without religion.

    Thats my point, how can you be sure the crazy people would not be worse if they didn't have religion? I'm not even sure there is an effective or ethical way to study this...
    And isn't ethics just religions cousin.

    If the people really wanted a new government then a few guns wouldn't stop them. The people with the guns are part of the people, not a separate entity.

    You're salaried. You're paid to do a job, whether it takes you 20 hours or 80 hours a week. If you want, I'll pay you an extra 50% of your hourly wage when you work more than 40 hours a week. Your hourly wage is $0/hour, here's $0.

    Sure, I do. Don't you?

    I don't understand this new fangled achievements thing that most new games seem to have. It makes me think the game designers have given up on making a compelling and engaging game and gone, fuck it lets just use some cheap tricks and hope the pidgeons get addicted.
