  1. Re:Lies on 60 Minutes Dubbed Engines Noise Over Tesla Model S · · Score: 1

    Every professional editor in the world would add engine noise to a shot of an operating automobile. It's one of those things that you do without even thinking about

    Kind of like the way the halfwits always seem to insist on adding the tire screech of locked-up wheels to footage of cars with ABS? Fuck those morons.

  2. Re:Suing customers instead of manufacturers? on Details You're Not Supposed To See From Boston U's Patent Settlements · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Patent law says: Whoever without authority makes, uses, offers to sell, or sells any patented invention within the United States, or imports into the United States any patented invention during the term the patent therefor, infringes the patent. You know how long that statement has been in patent law? Since Thomas Jefferson wrote it.

    "Accordingly, it is a fact, as far as I am informed, that England was, until we copied her, the only country on earth which ever, by a general law, gave a legal right to the exclusive use of an idea. In some other countries it is sometimes done, in a great case, and by a special and personal act, but, generally speaking, other nations have thought that these monopolies produce more embarrassment than advantage to society; and it may be observed that the nations which refuse monopolies of invention, are as fruitful as England in new and useful devices." - Thomas Jefferson

    Are you sure about that? It's quite clear from the historical record that that's exactly what "we" wanted then (the Axis were extremely reluctant to drag the "sleeping giant" into the war, at least until we forced their hand in Indonesia) and it's well understood that Washington had advance knowledge of the impending attack at Pearl and didn't warn the Fleet...

    Do you really think things have changed so much that T.P.T.B. would be able to resist another opportunity to manipulate our nationalistic sensibilities so effectively? Me thinks not. ;)

  7. Conservative?? on CISPA's Author Has Another Privacy-Killing Bill To Pass Before He Retires · · Score: 4, Informative

    to start a conservative talk radio show

    It amazes me how, in this day and age, a demonstrably-fascist douchebag like this asshole can disguise his obvious big-government, Hamiltonian (i.e. classic textbook "liberal") nature by calling himself "conservative." Then again, considering how dumbed-down and ignorant the populace has become, I guess it should come as no surprise that the electorate (particularly the senile, white-haired contingent) has absolutely no idea what "conservative" is supposed to mean. Hint: it's correct usage (at least in America English; it has an altogether different meaning in the UK/Europe) implies that one is in favor of Jeffersonian ideals, which run completely counter to Alexander Hamilton's Federalist (i.e. "liberal") beliefs...

    You think pineapple on pizza is bad? In Japan, they put yellow corn and mayonnaise on pizza.

    Tell me about it; I grew up there. :) A particularly insidious combination of ingredients (typical Tokyo coffeeshop fare in the late 70's/early 80's - don't know about these days) was a hotdog bun with spaghetti in it, topped with whipped cream and mandarin orange slices. I shit you not...

    I can certainly agree with this and, I might add, we can start by deleting all traces of any online recipes that call for (*shudder*) fucking tropical fruit such as pineapple as a goddamned pizza topping.

    On an slightly less sarcastic note (note that I wasn't completely joking about the fucking abomination that's pineapple pizza, BTW), someone please bash in the skulls of these stupid fascist puppet fucks. Now.

  21. Nice work, morons.

    If their goal was to obtain an iron-clad judgement against the alleged offender, they've presumably failed. However, I very much doubt that they give a shit about that. If their goal is something else entirely (which I strongly suspect it is), then there's hardly anything moronic about what they did. Unconstitutional and un-American, definitely... immoral and lacking integrity, certainly. But moronic? It's a bit moronic to make assumptions about their goals, IMHO..
