    I think you're confused if you think they even try to be non-biased.

    I think you have Wikipedia confused with something that provides 100% non-biased factual information.

    Pretty much any colo where you have a box should be able to announce it for you.

    They also need to understand words have meaning. It's fine and well that they can say one thing and mean something else, but they need to understand the rest of the world will judge them on what they say and do not what they thought they implied.

  8. Re:We should follow the example of Stephen Colbert on PS3 With 3.50 Firmware Jailbroken Without Downgrade · · Score: 1

    I guess in the since I created it myself it was free. I was thinking "free entertainment" referred to pirated games, because of the use of quotes and LOL BACKUPS after it.

    I broke my wii for homebrew. Guess what I did. I made a simple game for my daughter. It had nothing to do with "free entertainment".

  14. Re:what's the point? on iSwifter Brings Flash Games To the iPad — Sort Of · · Score: 1

    You must not have bosses or a marketing department that demands pretty graphs for pointless meetings.

    Peter Gibbons: But you can already do that. You don't need a million dollars.

  16. Re:Absolutely on Does Anyone Really Prefer Glossy Screens? · · Score: 1

    My macbook is primarily used in my office (with all the external stuff hooked up). I bought a macbook instead of an iMac, because sometimes I don't want to be in my office and coding from my bedroom / front room is nice. Right now I'm not at home (traveling), but have all my files, apps, etc still with me.

    So they're trying to force Oracle to give them a liaison by threatening to cut their own throats? Great move I'm sure Oracle will get exactly what they want.

  18. Re:Other countries should start policing Internet on US Pirate Movie Site DNS Seizure Fail · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Nothing gives the US that right. I'd say a fair amount of people here feel the same way I do about that (at least I hope so).

  23. Re:Gold Farming History on Cory Doctorow On For the Win, Gold Farming, and DRM · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not to mention that, but the reason people hate gold farmers isn't about racism. It has 0 to do with race and everything to do with the fact they get their "lot" by stealing from people.

  24. Re:How come... on Anti-Speed Camera Activist Buys Police Department's Web Domain · · Score: 1

    Which is unfortunate. It shouldn't be a privilege when entire cities are designed around being able to drive a car.

    Which is complete BS. He shouldn't have to buy business class access to receive what they advertise.

    If I buy ad space on a website and the ad directs people to a website that tells them they can loose an unlimited amount of weight in 1 month the FTC would be all over me, but for some reason it's okay for ISPs to say you have unlimited bandwidth. You can say "oh the fine print they sign says so". Well the FTC recently cracked down on all the diet rebills that were going crazy and are now prosecuting people. They told people about the price just like ISPs do, in fine print. While I'm happy the FTC is cracking down on those people they should also attack the ISPs that fraudulently sell unlimited internet access.
