The redesign is very VERY good. Same style, but actually works properly now! For instance, I did this reply in 10 seconds instead of 2 minutes. Thumbs up guys.
It's certainly an under-appreciated art being able to fit a concise, well-developed argument into 140 characters, including a link and a bunch of tags.
Looks like someone is looking for a PR job, haha. But yes, a solid point.
It seems likely though they'd still have to send the C&D for the trademark infringement, as far as my meager understanding of trademark defense requirements goes, so it wouldn't hurt to conclude with "Please see attached legal jargon that explains what I just said, and have a nice day."
Opt-out systems in general are better because those who truly want to opt-out should have to put in the effort, not the rest of us normal people who wish to enjoy life in the privacy of our own home.
If you want a clean feed, be a better parent: perhaps install a proxy, or better still, do some actual fucking parenting, educate your children and supervise them.
Let's see the supporters of the public education system bitch that the private system is abusing public funding to give better services to their students than the public system. They will bitch, and the private system will abuse the funds. Ah NSW.
So you think that it should be okay for your phone to automatically take photos of you and send them away without your permission? It doesn't need to be able to do that in order to be remotely wiped. Nice strawman though.
Most Pirate Parties internationally are for copyright reform, not the abolition of copyright. I'm tired of the misconception. It's like saying the Australian Liberal Party is about freedom. Ha.
Why not just copy and paste selective remarks from the page in question, cite them correctly and be done with it, as I'm sure that would get across the whole point in the first place.
Yes, copyright is fucked, but I think it would be more fun to do both things at the same time. The thing they can't stop and the thing they can, so even if they win, all that happens is the Streisand Effect.
Why is it okay to discriminate against people in such an expensive way? That's like taxing tampons or pads because they know that 50% of people need them. It conflicts with the Christian moral agenda in the first place in so many ways...
It gives me great pleasure when these things escalate, because the more they escalate, the higher chance the media may accidentally make these arguments mainstream, and people might actually wake up and notice how flawed the system currently is.
The Australian Government is surely just taking the piss now. Honestly. What else can they say other than "the binary is COMING ALIIIIVEEEEE"? That would probably be a step up from Conroy's ramblings anyhow.
NBN is a private company funded by the government for now. Once it's up and running, the government will cut and run like with everything else. Trust me, this has very little to do with censorship.
For anyone truly concerned, they never tested any of their ISP-level filtering shit on the fibre networks, because they know it'll fuck up under that load. If anything, the NBN will make any further censorship proposals go away... for now.
4GB is very restrictive. I had the first EeePC, the 701, with the 4GB SSD. Talk about micromanage the OS... You can't even install Windows 7 onto the 4GB SSD and put the rest of your data on the HDD, as it's too small! What's the point?

Maybe if they made 70 hour single-player games the model wouldn't be dead. I still miss the old, proper RPGs like Baldur's Gate.
Then doesn't that mean, by your own admission, that the majority want to see stories like this ?
The issues of copyright are not limited to America. Consider TRIPS or the Berne Convention, or even ACTA. Copyright is international.

Can you scream "privacy issue" so hard that blood is expelled from every single one of your orifices? DRM is pretty bad, but this is just sickfuckery.
They admitted there was an error and as an apology gave them all a rather expensive game. That's pretty good customer service.
This article explains why the above poster is correct.
Who would have thought $99 wasn't due to the cost of packaging? The eyes, how they roll!

If you RTFA, it's not a world ending event. It's just gonna mess up some transformers if they don't turn them off in time.
Anthropologists need something to study too.
Worked for me in Chrome.
I see. Then I must leave.

Aren't all great stories written in reverse?
