  2. visually impared irony on The State of Linux Accessibility · · Score: 2

    It has tons of accessibility features for the visually impaired if you know where to look.

    I get this same feeling every time I lose my glasses. The bitter irony of having to look for your glasses...

  3. Re:Offer people what they want on Who's Pirating Game of Thrones, and Why? · · Score: 1

    I pay for HBO and I have a Tivo. It's still easier for me to just grab the torrent and watch it some time during the week. I've found torrents easier than Netflix (paying account unused several months), Hulu+ (paying account unused several months), cable TV (paying account partially used daily) or renting from Redbox/video store. Plus it's stored on my 3TB USB drive that I can access at any time.

    I'm arguing that you don't have permission to utilize it which would also include the copying.

    Aside from copy it in any way such as installing it on something. You are 100% correct. Without a license you don't have permission to make copies even the first copy of installing though. Otherwise enjoy your Frisbee, coaster or signal mirror.

    Easy, they were backing up the disk to the hard drive.

    The Bill of Rights didn't grant those rights, it merely enumerated them as specially protected rights.

  9. Re:Gillette Razor Model? on Wozniak Calls For Open Apple · · Score: 2

    It is hard to tell the guy backing up the dump trucks full of cash into his drive way that he's doing it wrong. If you're ideas are better, why aren't you backing the dump trucks of cash up into your driveway.

    If you're making buckets of cash of their produt, pay for the upgrade and quit bitching...wow.

  12. Re:Tax on Profit vs Revenue on NY Times Apple Tax Article Flawed · · Score: 1

    On one side, I don't think corporations are people so they shouldn't be taxed. On the other side the Supreme Court thinks they are people so yes they should be taxed. At some point those profits have to be paid out to an individual who will then pay taxes on it...again.

    Anything not in the US is correct and factual. The US is always wrong. Even when they are right, they are wrong. Come on you should know this by now.

  14. Re:No alarm clock here on 'Social Jetlag' May Be Making You Fat · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I noticed this after I had an accident as was in recovery for about 9 months. I noticed my best feelings were if I was on a ~30 hour day with 10 hours of sleep and 20 hours of awake doing stuff. Still wish I could go back to that schedule.

    My photos are stored on my droid x phone, dropsync sends them to my drop box account. Also syncs them to my xoom tablet. Drop box on my PC then stores a copy locally on my hard drive.

    This is true of any technical ability. You can only increase your productivity so much as an individual. At some point you have to be able to direct/motivate/drive multiple people to accomplish higher productivity. Even the best widget maker in the factory can't produce as many widgets as we well run team of people producing widgets.

  24. Re:Not sure about this on Bethesda Announces Elder Scrolls MMO · · Score: 1

    I've always thought the draw of ToS games has always been the scale of everything. In Dagger fall I remember just heading out into the woods in a single direction for hours, exploring caves and not even making it very far in the world map.

    If they continue that type of scale into MMO so it's almost impossible for one person to visit everyplace of interest in the entire game they could spread the adventure out more and still keep some of it's original charm.

    "The constitution was never meant to enumerate rights."

    Yes, but it does had all things not mentioned, first to the state, then to the individual. This is the state exercising it's rights.
