  1. Re:Ummm... on FCC Dodges Pointed Questions On US Broadband Plan · · Score: 1

    Betamax died because it couldn't record the two hour long "NBC Saturday Night at the Movies". The lack of high speed internet is purely political.

    In other words, People...

  3. Re:No, we are not on FCC Dodges Pointed Questions On US Broadband Plan · · Score: 4, Informative

    If I remember my grade school geography right, the Scandinavian Peninsula isn't exactly flatland...

  4. Re:UGH! When are you going to learn?? on Google Chrome Extension Steals Login Details · · Score: 1

    The reasons make no difference. They are censoring.. Oh, and fuck copyright! Its sole reason for existence is censorship.

    Fanbois to the rescue...

  6. Re:We're #4! on Google Chrome Extension Steals Login Details · · Score: 1

    Guess you didn't notice the red question mark over China. That's what we call censorship at their "request".. Relevant now? And it all goes back to my original premise that Google cannot be trusted with anybody's privacy, unless you happen to have the power of the state backing you up.

    *sigh*

  8. Re:UGH! When are you going to learn?? on Google Chrome Extension Steals Login Details · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They ARE censoring their search results. And they are doing that everywhere, not just China. What makes you think they aren't? Because they say so? Please... stop

  9. UGH! When are you going to learn?? on Google Chrome Extension Steals Login Details · · Score: -1, Troll

    Chrome is NOT safe. It is delusional to believe otherwise.. Can you say "keylogger"? Jeeze! Talk about a trap and you suckers are falling right into it, in fact you're jumping into it... Trusting Google to protect privacy is so very naive.. Just look at how they appease the Chinese government to make a buck. And everywhere else, all their spying is "inadvertent".. Uh huh... Riiiight

  10. Re:Nonsense on After a Decade, Digital Radio Still an Also-Ran In UK · · Score: 1

    The US also has Sirius/XM, Satellite radio systems that, like the digital radio systems, have proven to be wildly unpopular.

    I suppose if it wasn't for Howard, it would be completely dead.

    The biggest previous failure was AM stereo, precisely because of letting the market decide which format to use.

    FM wasn't developed by the government either. But it was adopted as a standard. And then look what happened to the inventor.

  14. Google does not oppose Chinese policy on China Renews Google's Content Provider License · · Score: 1

    They never did. They only bluster to pacify the rest of us who do. It's all about appearances.

  15. Re:Well, really... on Open Source Music Fingerprinter Gets Patent Nastygram · · Score: 1

    They were tyrants in '94 also. And they've been trying to pass laws similar to the patriot act since long before then. And much of the patriot act was written by a then democrat named Joe Lieberman. Just goes to show... I don't differentiate between democrats and republicans (they're merely two factions of one party). Contrary to what most people think, they are not in any real opposition. That's just pure show. They work as a team to stay in power. So as far as that angle is concerned, you can save your breath for those who still believe. Read up on "rotating villain". It's a very common practice within each faction and between them. And it is proving to be very effective in creating and maintaining confusion amongst the voters. For instance, despite what happened during the last decade, they're going to hand it back to the republican side. Thus keeping the incumbent party in charge.

  16. Re:Well, really... on Open Source Music Fingerprinter Gets Patent Nastygram · · Score: 1

    Ah yes.. The Telecommunications Act which included the Communications Decency Act... That congress also strengthened the atrocious Cuban embargo, expanded the death penalty, gave us the Defense of Marriage Act, Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, making it more difficult for investors to prove they were defrauded, a loophole filled Lobbying Disclosure Act... That's just the easy stuff.. and That economic "boom" was a bubble, more like a lead balloon, though its propaganda value is priceless.

    Yeah, a real good bunch they were... The bones they threw not withstanding. And the the congress of 2000, considering the previously mentioned reelection rates, wasn't all that different, damn near all the same people were still there.

  17. Re:Well, really... on Open Source Music Fingerprinter Gets Patent Nastygram · · Score: 1

    We've turned over most of congress a couple of times now...

    You call 95% reelection rates "turning over congress"?? Goddamn people would reelect Reagan's cadaver if it was on the ballot.

    ...they have no case against his blog.

    That doesn't matter if he have no way of defending himself, and the call for reform, or better, abolishment, is virtually absent.

    Yeah, I suppose Lee Iacocca, of Ford Pinto fame, is your hero too.

  21. Re:this is stupid on Doctor Invents 'Zero Gravity' Radiation Suit · · Score: 1

    Anti-gravity would come under the category of "marketing hyperbole".

    Considering its lameness, the category of "idle" is good enough.

  22. IF you outlaw information on Germany Takes Legal Steps Against Facebook · · Score: 1

    only outlaws will have information. They say they are protecting the public. This is only setting precedence to protect the state further down the road. We are responsible for protecting ourselves. If you want to keep it private, don't be giving out things you should keep to yourself. The old adage: Trust no one

  25. Re:Is this new? on Google's New Scheme To Avoid Unlicensed Music · · Score: 1

    Personally I think whatever it takes to provoke people into finding something besides youtube is a good thing. Sorry, but it's time to kill off these kind of monopolies. Let them hang themselves. I'll buy the rope.
