  1. Re:Holy God.. on Chinese Firm Helps Iran Spy On Citizens · · Score: 1

    Either way, the citizenry had an effect. Not so much a direct effect on the legislature, but on Google and the other large corps. Without the support of the citizenry, Google and other large corps have no power (or money.. same thing, I guess). Regardless, the end result was the same.

  2. Re:Kind of shady? on Meet the Hackers Who Get Rich Selling Spies Zero-Day Exploits · · Score: 1

    LOL! I noticed that too.

    Just do what the rednecks to, and use 'yer' - nobody questions 'yer'.

    As to the complaining parent, maybe the bitch should just stick to Dr Suess? Oh, she'll probably think Cat in the Hat is porno, too.

    No matter how good something is, someone is going to say it's utter shit.

    Well, we all know what 'Green Eggs and Ham' references. If thats not porn, then what is?? If only parents knew they were responsible for the booming porn industry by reading Dr Suess books to their kids at young ages.

    I'm pretty sure you could argue, that if the husband was indeed dumb enough to have sex with another woman in their bedroom, that the expectation of privacy is zero.

    If she did it in a hotel room, or some other place besides their bedroom, where the husband took the mistress, then she would probably be guilty not only of invasion of privacy, but also any other laws that prohibit video without permission.

    As if there isn't enough identity theft already, and now they seriously want me to enter in cc information into my phone?

    Fortunately, these phones are totally secure and cannot be hacked. Not only that, the app is 100% secure.

  6. Re:Genius. on Campaign Urges People To Send MPAA and RIAA Copied Currency · · Score: 2

    That's kinda the point.

    That you missed.

    Now who's the moron?

    I'm still missing the point, then. Is this not an attempt to make a statement that copied money is equivalent to copied files? Please explain what I've missed, since I'm so stupid and you're so smart.

    It's making a statement that by the way MPAA & RIAA considers virtual copies of a film/game/song to be worth as much as the original, you might as well put the same logic to currency. Which doesn't make sense the same way that virtual copies of a film/game/song being worth as much as the original.

    I can get the same entertainment value from a copy of a movie or song as I can from the original. It can even be argued that a copy is even more valuable than the original, because it's easier to use on whatever device I prefer due to lack of DRM. I didn't enjoy the movie or song any less because it was a copy since the quality of the experience was the same or better.

    I can only use a photocopy of money to wipe my ass with since I cannot even buy toilet paper with it. I do not enjoy the copy at all because I couldn't use it as currency and all it did is hurt my ass.

    How are those two things at all similar?

    I think the point is more along the lines of copies of an already purchased game should be worth as much as the copied currency. If I buy a game, say, at full price, and when I am done I give it to a friend, he should be able to install it and play it, since it was already purchased. At least thats how I see it. What I am waiting for is people to send in copied currency, and for the feds to bust everyone for counterfeiting.

    Have you ever put tinfoil in a microwave?

    Want to bet where the two injuries came from?

    Just one question about your post. Would you really put a 'self-destruct' mechanism into this remote-controlled aircraft carrying a nuclear weapon?
