  1. Re:Industry moving forward on Alternatives To SF.net's CompileFarm? · · Score: 1

    Exactly. See how I simply upload this audio file to a server which then decodes it and sends it back to my speakers...

  2. Re:Lazy parents. on Connecticut Wants to Restrict Social Networking · · Score: 1

    I have a daughter as well, and I want you to keep your bullshit laws off my children. Just because you're a lazy parent doesn't mean you get to tell me how to do my job.

  3. Re:So, let's actually read the article... on Homeland Security Offers Details on Real ID · · Score: 1

    Yet...

  4. Re:(-1, "Orientate" isn't a word) on Scotland Building Wave Power Farms · · Score: 1

    Perhaps, but find someone who actually uses in that context rather than simply a bastardization of the word 'orientation' instead of using 'orient' as they should.

  5. Re:Interesting idea - definition of a library on Is "Making Available" Copyright Infringement? · · Score: 1

    I happen to agree, but the person arguing with me seems to find Pirates of the Caribbean to have no educational value.

  6. Re:Interesting idea - definition of a library on Is "Making Available" Copyright Infringement? · · Score: 1

    Then why did you even bother to bring the educational value of material into the argument? You stated that Pirates of the Carribean is not educational, and therefore not protected. I simply stated that thousands of fiction books are not educational either, yet still seem to be loaned out by libraries without being sued by publishers for infringement. If that's not part of your argument, why did you bring it up in the first place?

    As for making a copy, every time you view a page of a book, you've made a copy of that book on the back of your retina. It's only temporary, but it is a copy. If someone only downloaded shared files to a RAM drive, would that be protected? It's as temporary as that copy in your mind is.

  7. Re:Interesting idea - definition of a library on Is "Making Available" Copyright Infringement? · · Score: 1

    So those shelves filled with thousands upon thousands of fiction books are educational? If the test is "Is this materials educational" then almost every public library is committing copyright violations daily.

  8. Re:splicing together different takes ?? on Don't Believe What You See at the Movies · · Score: 1

    Yes, plays aren't spliced together afterwards. But I'll warn you up front, those little kids on state aren't really English ragamuffins. They're only pretending. I know, I was as shocked as you are, but plays aren't really real either.

  9. Re:It doesn't matter who develops it on A Criticism of Race Portrayal in Games · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Suge Knight is pretty white.

  10. Re:i think... on Google Radio Ads Experiencing Early Troubles · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Read the whole quote: "one on one personalized service"

    Perhaps you're looking for the word "personable" not "personal". Hearing a voice on the radio could be considered personable, but there's definitely nothing "one on one" or "personal" about it.

  11. Re:i think... on Google Radio Ads Experiencing Early Troubles · · Score: 1

    That was the first thing I thought as well. I had to read it a couple of times to be sure I was reading it correctly. It is backwards.

  12. Re:If congress is getting into it... on Congress Tackles Patent Reform · · Score: 1, Funny

    Actually we'd be better off if congress would all do what Sonny Bono did.

    Yeah, yeah, tasteless. Mod me down if you must.

  13. Re:The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin... on RIAA Admits ISPs Have Misidentified "John Does" · · Score: 1

    There doesn't necessarily have to be a master file with instructions on how to rebuild it from the pieces. Some format similar to a doubly linked list where each piece knew which one went before and after it would be enough to rebuild a file from many small pieces.

  14. Re:say your depiction were 100% correct on Web Censorship Proposed For Norway · · Score: 1

    Where'd you get the notion that libertarians care about nothing but themselves? Libertarians simply believe that maximum individual freedom is how you care for people. Not authoritarian edicts.

    You're just making up shit now, you're not even attempting to discuss anything resembling reality.

  15. Re:libertarianism on Web Censorship Proposed For Norway · · Score: 1

    Yes, liberals and conservatives care so much. They're so caring that rather than get drug users help for their problem, they throw them in prison.

    Liberals and conservatives care alright. They care about money. They care about power. They care about being re-elected.

    Peddle your bullshit elsewhere, I'm not buying.

  16. Logic in America is going down the shitter on Teens Prosecuted For Racy Photos · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Sorry, that's all I've got.

  17. Get real on Army of Davids Beats Pentagon Procurement · · Score: 1

    Do you honestly think that government agencies continue to exist beyond their usefulness because the hordes of paper shufflers are scared of being poor? Let's get real. Those agencies don't self perpetuate due to the nameless masses employed by them, they do it because of the people at the top of those pyramids love the power they wield.

  18. Re:Yeah on Cartoon Network CEO Resigns Over Aqua Teen Scare · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because, ya know, poor college kids never plaster advertisements around big cities. I've never seen thousands of concert flyers for some little indie band glued to buildings and poles. Doesn't happen. It's just the evil corporations that litter and advertise.

  19. Re:And yet... on University Professor Chastised For Using Tor · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The free market does take care of itself. The problem is that we haven't had a truly free market since the government started choosing economic winners and losers through tax laws and business subsidies.

  20. Re:How long does this need to go on? on German Past Haunts Gamers' Future · · Score: 1

    Then maybe you should see about getting a referendum started to raise taxes for your local schools. I learned about Japanese internment camps in high school. There was no sinister cover-up.

  22. Re:Imagine it were a McBain movie on Court Rules GPS Tracking Legal For Law Officers · · Score: 1

    As long as we're treating real life like Hollywood, why can't we just ask McBain to fly through the air like Neo and catch the fleeing criminals in the act. No GPS required.

  23. Re:I'm disappointed at /. readers on this story. on Aqua Teen Hunger Force Brings Boston to a Halt · · Score: 1

    I have it on good authority that MtViewGuy is a terrorist planning to blow something up. Now, I'm not 100% positive on that, in fact I could be completely wrong. But we can't take any chances can we?

    You're exactly the kind of idiot that terrorists love.

  24. Re:At $500,000... How long to pay back the cost? on Solar Power Eliminates Utility Bills in U.S. Home · · Score: 1

    Total cost of ownership? What the fuck are babbling about? Does a hybrid somehow go through fewer wiper blades and tires? The only way a hybrid will save you $14,000 over five years is if the damn thing uses NO FUEL OR OIL.

    This is my last response, and I only replied this time just in case anybody happens to read your bullshit and think it's any way factual. I feel compelled to expose bullshit when I see it. But arguing about this further with someone of your stunted intelligence is just an exercise in futility.

    Enjoy your "savings" on your hybrid, dipshit.

    For what it's worth, my wife and I both have our computers in the same room. :P
