    What the fuck does that mean?!

    I think the point is that he's selling copyrighted material (the patterns) without the copyright holder's permission...

    You don't need the copyright holder's permission to sell. You only need permission to copy, perform, or create derivitive works.

  3. Re:Better pics on New US $20 bills Released, Colors & Layout Change · · Score: 1

    Yeah, freedom is so embarasing. I'm embarased that 227 years ago men gave up their lives in a fight for freedom. And the government putting a symbol of that freedom on the nation's currency, well, that's over the line.

    I know it won't cause as much destruction as possible but I've forgoten how to for loops in Basic. Besides, everybody knows gotos are funnier.

  6. Why does Microsoft have these in the first place? on Microsoft Pirating Their Own Software? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why would Microsoft print CD's that they then label as unlicensed and illegal. What does Microsoft do with these discs? When you buy a license can you cross out that part of the label and that will somehow hold up in court. Why make the discs in the first place if they are just going to label them illegal.

  7. My hamster died on Computer Made From DNA And Enzymes · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't think I'd be responsible enough to remember to feed my computer.

    NO! Then they might start releasing music I like instead of the stuff they're pushing now.

    There are 2 kinds of people in the world. Those who understand hexadecimal and those who don't.

    For some reason people don't get it...

  10. Re:Others more important? on ACLU And Others Weigh In On CIPA Injunction · · Score: 1

    All the freedom of speech clause says is that the government will make no law abridging your ability to express free speech
    Preventing people from listening to me does abridge my freedom of speech. The first admendment says freedom of speech not freedom to speak. If no freedom to be able to listen there is no freedom of speech.

    It is perfectly legal for the government not to help other people hear your speech
    Yes but censoring me prevents others to listen to what I have to say. I'm not saying the government should direct people to my site but it shouldn't hide it from them.

  11. Re:Others more important? on ACLU And Others Weigh In On CIPA Injunction · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would think that "the freedom of speech" involves two things: the freedom to speak and the freedom to listen. If one of these freedoms is not allowed you can no longer have a freedom of speech.

    If I stand on a soapbox in the town square and start saying things the government doesn't like they can't stop me. I have the freedom to speak.

    Now, do you think the government should be allowed to prevent people from litening to me? I start ranting on a soapbox and the police come in and anounce if anyone comes within 200ft of me while I'm speaking will be thrown in jail for the night. If thats allowed then there is no freedom of speech. What good is it to speak when no one is allowed to listen?

  12. Re:Others more important? on ACLU And Others Weigh In On CIPA Injunction · · Score: 1

    First Admendment:
    Congress shall make no law .. abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press

    I would think filtering or censoring public internet access would violate this.

    The United stated may not be a democracy but it is democratic. If he said 'The Democracy is dead' then his comment wouldn't be valid.

  14. Able to revoke citizenship? on PATRIOT II Legislation Leaked · · Score: 1

    The 14th amendment says all people born in the or naturalized in the US are citizens. Congress only has the power to grant naturaliztion. Where in the constitution does it give power to Congress to revoke citizenship? Are there any laws now that alow for the revoking of citizenship?

  16. Re:Hmm. on OptimumOnline Bans uploads to P2P networks · · Score: 1

    Its not everyone else's bandwidth. Its the person who's paying for the service bandwidth. If the ISP doesn't have the means to give the bandwidth they promised to all of their customers then that's their fault.

  17. Not the only game with nudity on Top Ten Most Collectible Video Games · · Score: 1

    Bubble Bath Babes, the only NES game with nudity

    There are two other games for the NES that contain nudity. There's Peek a Boo Poker which, as the title suggests, is a strip poker game and there's Hot Slots which is a stip slot machine game. Roms of all three of these games can easily be found.

    Here! Here!

    My house is right next to the local whale based power plant and every time they throw another whale in the fire it creates a really awful smell. I suggest we get rid of all of the power plants that burn whales and use only ones that burn dolphins and baby seals. They are much easier on the air.
