    ....and, Cuba has lots of sugar. But the land of the free is still mad at Cuba for actions 50+ years ago, so the country remains embargoed and impoverished. Russia, China, Vietnam? They're all good buddies now, lots of forgiveness to go around. Cuba? Fuckem.

Granted, both Homer Simpson and Sipowitz have given the dress shirts their blessings, so I *know* I'm in good company, hence the Taliban can go fuck themselves, remaining single, so this decision doesn't affect them....

    Problem is I have a life. My friends use Facebook to organize social events, they won't keep up if I change my phone number ever month or two.

    Problem is, I, too, have a life, and I don't have a Facebook account. Are your Facebook friends all so shallow that they wouldn't/couldn't erm, I dunno, PHONE you? or TEXT you? or EMAIL you? or KNOCK ON YOUR FUCKING DOOR?

  22. Re:$24 on Jammie Thomas Denied Supreme Court Appeal · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but it doesn't seem to be working.

    Isn't it?

    Whilst the "content-cartels" occasionally ruin the odd-person's life, hundreds of millions, if not a billion, people continue to share files, every second of every day. Young whippersnappers under 30 don't even *get* what the fuss is about (or why we even *share* (or own) music files when there's spotify, grooveshark, pandora...)

    And I do think it's tragic, and despicable, that even one person is ruined by the various aa's and their/our bought-and-paid-for politicians/legislatures.

    Ultimately, the few sporadic *gains* by the bad guys pale in comparison to the sheer number of those who don't feel threatened. Or who rightly believe it's an amoral issue unworthy of their attention.

    It's not unlike weed use. Are the anti-weed folks winning? Sooner or later (measured in decades...) common sense does indeed prevail.

    A lot of us may not live long enough to experience it, though.
