You might think so, but not really. There's nothing past A. So while more people might be getting "B" and "A"'s, a "B" is still a "B" and an "A" is still an "A".
"Comment Quality" is related to the purpose of the website. I was under the impression that Fark's goal was humor. So I would say that Fark's "Comment Quality" is better than that of metafilter or reddit when it comes to funny posts. It's certainly better than Slashdot.
Actually - that's a great idea. Griefers will grief, it's what they do. But if your anti-griefer measures are t ogrief the griefer, they might actually get tired of being griefed themselves and stop griefing. i'd liek ot see this in a MMO. Where someone corpe camps a much lower character and GM's show up and corpe camp th griefer! haha.
There is a lot of content on the web that requires flash. For some people, they will not purchase an iPad because it does not have flash, and will not allow them to view all fo the content they normally view. For those people, having flash certainly is a selling point.
What seems more ridiculous is that devices like the iPad don't support flash.
I think his point was that he was bringing in the "think of the children" mentality and maybe using public hysteria over child porn and whatnot as a means of destroying this intrusive and questionable method of security.
That's a great idea. Hmm which will win? unrational fear of terrorism or unrational desire to protect children at all costs?
At least now it takes 41 members to call a filibuster and bring Congress to a hault. Previously a single member of Congress could bring Congress to a hault.
You're suggesting most artists aren't Democrats? Demographics don't lie.
Never claimed that. I have no clue. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that most artists are Democratt; but I don't know.
Steal is a serious misnomer here. Someone linked three articles accusing McCain and Republicans of "stealing" music. They were playing music at a rally. They weren't broadcasting over the air. They weren't putting it in ads. They weren't selling it.
If they were "stealing" songs, then so is everyone on the planet who ever plays music at any type of rally. Have you ever been to a corporate or political convention?
You're focusing on the wrong part. I used steal to mean "use without my permission". I was not drawing a correlation between copyright infringment and stealing. That is not the focus of my argument. You're focusing of the difference in the analogy and not the similarities. All analogies will have differences; you're suppose to notice the similarities.
The focus of my argument was that the owner of the copyright for the song gets to choose if they want to press charges or not and that of course they are not going ot press charges if it is used for a cause or by someone they support. Much in the same way that I would not press charges against someone I like/support takign my car.
I attribute this to the majority of musicians, filmmakers and artists being Democrats. When a Democrat uses a song without paying for it from an artist who is a Democrat, they're not going to complain.
Baseless claim, but I will respond.
That is the artists choice. IF they want to let someone they like use it for free, they can do so.
Car anaology:
If my sister takes my car without asking; I'm ok with that and will not press charges for stealing my car.
If joe shmoe takes my car without asking; I'm not ok with that and will press charges for stealing my car.
Coolio turned him down. However, Coolio's song was a remake itself and Wierd Al had already recieved (paid) for permission from the original artist. So, Colio did not have the ability to stop him.
Slashdot Mirror

Good thing CEOs do not do the work. He will have an employee write the paper.
I personally enjoy the pop culture references. And yes, like most of the world, I can laugh at a good fart joke too.

Personal attacks on him or his website does not refute the "wisdom" of his words. Your post is in no way "Insightful"

This is probably the only comment that this article needs.
End fine if you poke the bear with a lot of sticks, sticks that also happened to have sharp points too.
Hmm a sleazy company is willing to take your money even though they might not be able to provide the service in the near future? Shocking!
Well, that's how they coded it.

There is a fine example of why we have more than one Justice on the Supreme Court.
As John Paul Stevens said: I didn't move the the left, the supreme court moved to the right.

Sure there were small sects that existed. But the major Orthodox/Catholic church was together until the schism of 1054.
And who gets to define this "true definition of a Christian"
