  1. Re:Vista just not worth the cash on One Year Later, "Dead" XP Still Going Strong · · Score: 1

    Macs are cheaper than their dell equivalents once you add the price of Vista Ultimate + Virus Software & subscription.

  2. Vista just not worth the cash on One Year Later, "Dead" XP Still Going Strong · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Vista is not worth the cash. OSX is $129 when Vista is $300+ thats a giant WTF since OSX is so much better.

    On my non-mac PCs I run Linux because it gets the job done. My mac hardware runs OSX (obviously) with a vmware-windowxp. I would upgrade my vmware image to vista if vista was reasonably priced.

    The study showed that underweight people were 70 percent more likely than people of normal weight to die, and extremely obese people were 36 percent more likely to die

    Well you would be wrong, according to the article underweight people have a 170% chance of death while very fat people have a 136% chance of death.

    regularly received kickbacks from commercially-run prisons

    <quote>juge is against drugs biases him against you having or not having drugs how exactly</quote>

    His taking kickbacks from people who profit from an incarceration is exactly how. It doesn't matter if a person is guilty or not if the judge makes a profit from a guilty verdict.

    It's on the same level as political incarcerations that only the worst of states practice.

  18. Re:And how is th different from the RIAA and MPAA on Sothink Violated the FlashGot GPL and Stole Code · · Score: 0

    That depends on your definition of theft.

    You can either see theft as
    1) taking what is not yours. (eg stealing a kiss from your buddies girl)
    2) depriving someone else of what is theirs. (eg theft only requires a loss - an anonymous coworker throws out your lunch from the cafe fridge - your lunch was stolen)
    3) both. (eg theft requires both a loss and a gain - getting your buddies girl to dump him and date you - you stole his girl)
    4) either. (eg theft is either a loss or a gain or both a loss and a gain)

    defining copyright violation as theft implies that the definition of theft is 1||4. (taking music, movies, patterns of 0s and 1s)

    defining copyright violation as not theft implies that the definion of theft is 2||3. (owner still has their copy)

    Most people view theft as #4, but a valid argument can be made for #3.

  19. Re:And how is th different from the RIAA and MPAA on Sothink Violated the FlashGot GPL and Stole Code · · Score: 0

    The difference that you are not seeing is that:
    in one case the theft is occurring for personal non-profit use, in the other, the theft is occuring for profit.

    Its the difference between downloading a movie from the internets to watch at home, and downloading a movie on the internets and getting people to pay to come over and watch.
