    No no no, this isn't how it works at all - haven't you been paying attention?

    RIAA: We represent the right holders, this say this guy has broken copyright law.

    Don't be a twit, I said the right to end ONES OWN life.

    By the reasoning nobody should be allowed to do anything (except perhaps you, eh?)

    Which is mostly just bullshit. When they state recognizes the rights of the individual they could require you go down and fill out some forms first.

    Ending your life is a human right.

  12. Important thing missing on MMORPG Subscriptions Taxed In Europe · · Score: 1

    Their inept message says "these changes require that digital services be taxed at the point of consumption i.e. in your country of residence. " - what the hell does that mean? So if you live in the UK, you are supposed to pay to them? How will they know? Will Verant have to send lists to all EU countries every month telling them which people are subscribing to their services??

    You will think about it and unless you are a complete rock you will eventually come to the conclusion that you were incorrect to broadly sum up every drug users reasons as the words - emotional pain.


    Yeah, wrongly chosen words in the head of battle, I suppose better words would be: Psychological problems.

    There are reasons to experiment with drugs that are valid.

    Not really, unless you think a low intelligence is a valid reason.

  23. Re:simple solution on US Cell Phone Users Discover SMS Spam · · Score: 1

    see, the cell phone companies don't want that. They want people to become addicted to SMS like they are addicted to Instant Messaging.

    They want SMSs to cost money so that they can make more.


    SMS's *cost* money in Europe .. FOR THE SENDER. And since all networks work together, millions of SMS are being transmitted daily(And the companies are raking it in)

    Of course new business models are cropping up where you do have to pay to recieve something... like TV stations sending you SMS news, sports etc (or MMS which is the multimedia version), places where you can buy ring tones of the latest hits(ok so its not an sms), but messages of weather forecasts, trafic information, whats in showing in the cinemas etc. Also you can buy things with them; some sites sell different kind of stuff, by the right to watch clips from BigBrother(eek!), or get log on access to a site for 1-2 days by sending an SMS to a specific number (at a price). In larger cities you can pay the parking meter with an SMS: You sign up for a specific account, put a barcoded card in the window. Send an SMS that when you've parked. If a metermaid comes by she scans the code and her computer checks if you are currenly paying or not etc.

    Lots of possiblities but none of the include getting sent shit you didn't ask for and then having to pay for it.

    Here, the one who sends an SMS pays for it. As it should. The one who calls you pays for the call as it should be. Anything else would appear to be a businessplan only embraced by idiots.
