  1. Re:Your Movie Rights Online. on Canadian Fined For Videoing Movie In Theatre · · Score: 2

    Well he wasn't recording the movie, only the light absorption patterns on an otherwise blank screen. Where else is he going to do that?

    I wish Canadians would stop valuing corporations over science, like here in the states.

    How do you keep the government out, but the courts in?

    I dunno, Hitler may have said he was a socialist, but he didn't throw very many parties. I'd say he wasn't a people person, but I did not know him personally.

    They play their winterland fantasy game and it just so happens they are real soldiers that have fought in real wars?

    Hard to evacuate soldiers in a one-person dune buggy that needs to take off horizontally with a 'shute that tangles on street rubble and powerlines.

    As long as we can round up a hardy crew of misfits and renegades and train them to be astronauts, we can handle anything!

    I admit, I laughed. But instead of mocking hollywood, maybe we should be constructive and learn the secrets of SAW, Jaws, and Rocky.

    Humans, however, have colonized the greatest variety of geography.

    The areas of Earth where life exist are predominately water. We don't live very well in water. So, when you say variety of geography, aquatic life forms laugh.

    This move is evidence of poor competition in the marketplace. If the market were truly competitive, decisions would be in favor of lowering prices and enticing users.

  17. Re:Doctrine of first sale on Vital Parts of Games As DLC? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sure it's lame, but I don't think this applies. You buy a product with an included key that can be consumed once. You can turn around and sell this product to a game store or friend, but if you consume the key, the product is nearly valueless.

    It's synonymous with food, well rotten food anyway.

  18. Re:They're insane. on Vital Parts of Games As DLC? · · Score: 5, Funny

    This article got me thinking. We should really shut down sites like Ebay and Craigslist. It's unfair that people are able to sell their assets without generating any profit for the manufacturer.

  19. Re:Duh. on Press Favored Obama Throughout Campaign · · Score: 1

    Barack Obama is an American bastard. Neither parent was a citizen at his birth, and the circumstances surrounding his birth are both questionable (why is his birth certificate, a public record, locked up?) and transient.

    Maybe it's a conspiracy, maybe it won't affect his presidency. But it should have been explored in the press.

    Barack Obama admitted to using drugs. Why did the press not explore this? I think all of us would've been interested in what he has to say about the current war on drugs, medicinal use, and legislation given that he used illegal drugs. And when I say drugs, I mean marijuana and cocaine. I call it cocaine, Obama called it "a little blow". Why did not a single member of the press ask Mr. Obama, "Senator, did you use illegal drugs during your terms in public office, and do you use them today?" That sounds like a pretty obvious question for the press.

    Barack Obama's mother divorced his father because she had discovered he was already married to a woman in Kenya. This was done after he had abandoned them in Hawaii. Yet in Obama's hit book, his father was a hero and victim of racists, which was the ultimate cause of his parents divorce. His hit book is making him millions, but is full of fabrications. Why didn't the press ask him the tough questions about discrepancies in his book? As a citizen, don't you care if this man is a liar? Why didn't they ask, "Senator, are these stories lies?"

    Parading free speech as the press is why we have such a corrupt set of "news" outlets.

    Good luck implementing your "white list".

    What happens when, inevitably, another problem occurs? Do you clear your white list and start building a list of "trusted" websites all over again?

    Also, don't tell anyone, to prevent AVG from changing it.

    Especially not any popular websites.
