The difference is that this is designed specifically to prevent you from paying it back. This isn't getting a loan from Regions; This is getting a loan from A+ Title Loans and Pawn. I don't believe in paying for music for this reason. I'd pay $30 an album if there was some way I could guarantee it actually made it to the band. Maybe they should start posting a PO box on their albums that we can all start sending anonymous checks to.
Oh god, I'm so relieved. For a moment I was afraid someone got the password to the internet!
Actually, to be honest, when I first saw the headline, I thought to myself, "When asked to stop revealing people's passwords, the tool put his oakleys on, popped his collar, and then nah "Nah, bro," before walking away.
I'm jealous in a lot of ways. The percentage of pirates here are probably about 75% of the population. The percentage of people who would support the idea of a pirate party if it were to exist: 1-2%. Americans are lazy and disinclined to take up real causes until it hurts them directly and in a guaranteed manner. Even then, if the news doesn't draw attention to it, people would just assume it was always that way and move on.

Fair enough. I'm at work so I'm edgy about digging too deep, but I'll check it out later. Either way, even if it is true, I can't in good conscience side up with the ASCAP/RIAA/MPAA. After all, they might as well not be paying the artists either.
Funding from ads != profit. Or did you not know there are operational costs incurred with running a website? If that's your best scrutiny of this issue, then I'd say you should probably try harder to find something else.
I shouldn't feed the trolls, but have you tried talking to a normal person about the conspiracy against them? If so, were they an American? They listen to you talk for about five minutes and then the eyes roll back into their sockets and if you're really lucky they continue to sit there pretending to listen to you even though they're just praying for something, anything to actually make you stop going on and on, especially since American Idol comes on in a half hour and all they want to do is run down to McDonalds to pick up a 50 piece McNugget meal before it comes on so they don't have to miss any of it. An individual can't make a difference in this country until they get on the big glowy box the people here venerate like a god. America the Proud, indeed.
Yeah, that would be the logical association to make. Only thing I can think is that it must have been that I just clicked on "Mozilla Firefox" and just free associated the F with fire.
When I got this on my RSS ticker in firefox, it said "SCOTUS Nominee Kagan on F...". For some reason, I genuinely thought the next word would be fire, and I excitedly clicked on it. I think my disappointment should be obvious at this point.
Actually, I was referring to V for Vendetta, not the actual historical event. But when you're that pissed off, you can't really expect all your decisions to be rational and well planned.
Indeed. It appears as though the gauntlet has been thrown. I'm concerned over where everything will be when the dust settles. It seems like every time I think that the oligarchy that governs us can't become any more absurd, they manage to discover the most creative way to strike that all-time new low. I give it five years before it's time to start passing out the Guy Faux masks.
Joe Lieberman is a republican mole in the Democratic party.
Hey! We don't want him either. He's like a mysterious festering lump. No one knows when exactly he got there, we're all pretty sure we want him gone, but he won't just go away on his own.
I can't see the use for trying to educate them; for one, it's a waste of effort, for another, who will we get to work 3rd shift at Jack in the Box? Besides, they're just SO softcore. I mean, real sonsofbitches listen to Whitney Houston. The worst thing is trying to figure out which album I like more...
So, I haven't gotten mine yet (should by end of month), and I'm completely new to the Android scene. Couldn't you just chmod 000 the directory and be done with it?
Your mom, or dad, or grandmother. Real people. Do you think Joe Whitetrash walking into Wal-Mart to get himself one of 'dem printer thingys knows fuck-all what a firewall or IP whitelist is?
I agree with the hacker and sysadmin comments, but if you're buying a printer like this for use in a corporate environment, you're doing it wrong.
By Accepting this License Agreement (hereafter referred to as "The Hosejob"), you hereby tell us to print out that add and thereby set up your printer to do such. HP (hereafter referred to as "Corporate Oppressor") is not and will not be consider to be infringing on your rights to your property because you no longer have rights, having willfully and in sound mind signed them over to us. If you disagree with any portion of this EULA, feel free to return this product to your retailer, where they've been instructed not to accept the return due to the fact that the software provided with this printer has had the seal broken on it.
Or, you know, you actually pay thousands of dollars minimum to fight it in court, all the while HP is bleeding you dry through court costs and still continuing to spam your printer.
I feel there was a grievous crime committed here. Atrocities like this should not be able to be perpetuated. I demand immediate and the most severe punishment for all those responsible for this. AT&T should not be allowed to continue leaving sensitive and vulnerable data available for anyone who happens upon a server.

Cool story, bro.
Seriously, keep the stupid out of math.
That's the most horrifying thing I've ever heard. Silent majority, right there, everybody!
I didn't vote them in.

Yup, too bad it got wasted on a Obama troll.

The political and business elite don't consider anyone who would be harmed by this to be people.

All I have to say is that I saw this one coming a mile away.
Obviously.
