  1. Re:If users understand text files, they do on The Pirate Bay Co-Founder Starting P2P-DNS · · Score: 1

    Are you retarded, or is your business selling host files? Maybe tech geeks know what host files are, but the average computer has no idea and no desire to know or utilize them. If it doesn't take them to youtube, google or their favorite homepage, then it is not important to them. So instead of preaching about how great they are, why not develop a FF plug-in that allows them to be used easily, reliably and unobtrusively?

    And I do install stuff like NoScript and ABP. If someone gets this p2p DNS thingee working and installable at the same level of ease and lack of problems as ABP or NoScript, I will install it on mine and my relatives' computers. But, unless it is that simple, I won't. I am "pro-microsoft" I guess, as I refuse to use apple stuff and Linux stuff still lacks the plug and play ease I like. But fact is that unless something is stable, non-obtrusive and useful, most folks like me ain't going to install it on their friends and families computers. Personally I am all for anything that allows rerouting blockages and attempts to stop the spread of information. If they get it up and running and develop a plugin for FF, then I'll be good to go.

  3. Re:HOSTS files are superior to AdBlock & how/w on The Pirate Bay Co-Founder Starting P2P-DNS · · Score: 1

    Or better yet, WTF are host files? Non-techs can sort of understand ABP, as it is an add-on that stops bad or all ads. Host files, no way an average computer user would understand them or utilize them.

  4. Re:Lack of Adoption ... Again on The Pirate Bay Co-Founder Starting P2P-DNS · · Score: 1

    I disagree. When it gets to a point where it can be installed as easily as ABP, then it will get used. I am not a tech geek. But I use ABP/NoScript and it is installed in my mom's computer, my sister's computers, my brother's computer and my uncle's computer, simply because I am the one who sets them up and maintains them for them. If there is a way to install a p2p DNS thingee as easily and securely as ABP, they will all be hosting it.

  5. Re:Who have they ever caught? on The Sensible Body Scan Alternative · · Score: 1

    Oh three or four big bags topped off with gaily wrapped xmas presents, left unattended for a moment or two by the Santa picture booth. That would hold enough plastic explosives and shrapnel to kill all the little kiddies and their doting parents. A smart terrorist would have a couple f four strategically parked cars in the parking lot near the blast site too, in order to take out the emergency responders. A really smart terrorist would have a sniper or two set up also, to pick off any bomb squad members or high ranking targets that show up at the blast site. In fact, a small terrorist squad of 10-20 terrorists could paralyze the nation by planting a few bombs throughout the nation under interstate bridges and train bridges. Set off a few, report the locations of a few and claim to have 200 more planted at different sites. There goes a total and complete shut down of the interstate highway and rail system until every bridge is checked for bombs. That would make holiday travel fun.

    An education is a piece of paper from a recognized institution saying you have been educated. Knowledge comes from self-learning, done for personal satisfaction.

  9. Re:The source of the problem on Shadow Scholar Details Student Cheating · · Score: 1

    Correct. There is a company in town who spent a couple thousand per tech to have them all "certified". And surprise, surprise, surprise, they all managed to get "certified" by the national organization, so now the company can make the advertising claim their technicians are "x" certified technicians. Only problem is that their techs are morons as are their installers and their calculation manager who designs the systems. I go out to their jobs about once or twice a month as a contract company tech/troubleshooter for one of the manufacturers and these morons are at fault every time. Sized wrong, designed wrong, or installed wrong. But they all got that fancy piece of paper.

    Maybe get rid of humanities? WTF do I need to know about 14th century Art if my major is Social Work or EE or Psychology? I personally pay to go to college for an education in my chosen field, not the fucktarded shit losers who have no skills think I should learn to be "well rounded". If I wanted to be "well rounded" I get a job as a college professor and sit on my ass all day getting fat and being lazy.

  11. Re:Before I even clicks the links in summary... on Internet Blacklist Back In Congress · · Score: 1

    Actually the congressional earmarks are a few drops of piss in an ocean of piss. The executive offices of the PotUS has a lot more money for earmarking than congress. And even then, still a mere 1/4 of a cup of piss in an ocean of piss if you combine them both. Military, SS, Medicaid/Medicare, those are the hogs of the budget. Good luck in getting them sliced down to size. And yes, I believe all politicians are scumbag fucktards who should be shot right after taking their oath of office. Yep, even your pet politician of whatever party who you think is "oh so special and different".

    I get plenty of great RIAA and non-RIAA music at the best price point possible. There is this site (several in fact) where kind folks put copies of their music up for anyone else to share, for free. Since I would not buy a CD or any other music, and I can listen to it all on the radio or the internet for free, I believe it is morally OK for me to get copies from other folks.

    I have downloaded songs and never listened to them or shared them (yes I do leech at times)just because it was easier to DL an entire discography than hunt through and try and find the few songs I actually wanted. So by that standard, should I be held liable for damages when I did not use the song, or share the song? Where is the damage in DLing but not listening or sharing said song?
