  1. Re:"Single greatest" = "sole remaining" amirite? on Obama Backs MPAA, RIAA, and ACTA · · Score: 1

    RECORDED HISTORICAL FACT...

    Has been copyrighted, and Texas couldn't afford to pay the royalties.

  2. Re:Wild West Internet will be gone on Obama Backs MPAA, RIAA, and ACTA · · Score: 1

    Don't underestimate the power of your ISP. No internet for you!

  3. Re:Another un-winnable war. on Obama Backs MPAA, RIAA, and ACTA · · Score: 1

    The war isn't meant to be "won". It is meant to be perpetuated.

    ...you can't tell me that he would even think about supporting ACTA.

    They would all get the same offer, either their signature or their brains will be on the contract.

    If all our life support and entire infrastructure is entirely mechanized, why will we need jobs? Are we going to have to pay the machines?

  6. Re:Way to go on Venezuela's Chavez To Limit Internet Freedom · · Score: 1

    Chavez censors his media. The Americans take a more direct approach.. in other peoples' countries no less. While back home they obsess over Janet's titties..

  7. Re:The same kind of policies... on Venezuela's Chavez To Limit Internet Freedom · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Obama's a noob...

  8. Re:Lawyers on Why Are Digital Hearing Aids So Expensive? · · Score: 1

    "What the market will bear". The average couch potato couldn't care less. Making a fuss simply takes too much effort.

    You guys still like David Hasselhoff over there?

    Follow that cab!

  10. Re:Lawyers on Why Are Digital Hearing Aids So Expensive? · · Score: 1

    Fire ALL the lawyers.. We don't need them . Give us judges.. that will settle a dispute based on the facts, and the wisdom that's supposed to come with the job, not how it is presented. If tort reform means policing real fraud, like those fancy discounts the insurance companies get from the hospitals, labs, etc, and forcing open the books for all of us to see, real competition on insurance, then yes, I would be all for that. The kind of tort "reform" being most talked about here, and elsewhere though, is designed to protect the medical and allied industries, protect its politically connected officials(private and public), and continue bad practices, the same way bankruptcy "reform" protects the banks while doing nothing about predatory lending. We don't need more lawyers. We need to simplify the law.

  11. Re:Medical... on Why Are Digital Hearing Aids So Expensive? · · Score: 1

    The two big things that drive the cost of a device up are the FDA and lawyers.

    Then fire the lawyers...

  12. Re:If you take the man's money ... on JPL Background Check Case Reaches Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    Same should apply to welfare too.

    Yeah.. Start here..

  13. Re:Damn intarweb! on Texas Approves Conservative Curriculum · · Score: 1

    It works better if your read the page out loud with a thick Russian accent.. while using a ridiculously long cigarette holder.

    Now we catch moose and squirrel..

  14. Re:Game of Chicken on China Warns Google To Obey Or Leave · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The belief that censorship is wrong is not very wide at all. The first amendment would have no chance of passing anywhere in today's world, including the US. That whole part of "no Law" is a real stickler. Despite the supreme court's weasel words stating otherwise. The majority, and especially the middle class is very authoritarian. Nobody wants to rock the boat during sweeps week.

  15. Re:A great excuse... on University of Wyoming Studies Video Games · · Score: -1, Troll

    Exactly.. What is there to study? Of course the games mold mushy minds of children, especially without the proper counter influence, precisely the same way advertising does to adults, politics being the best example. Jeezus! Every dumbass marketing agent knows how it works.

  16. Re:X-ray impervious? on Hollow Spy Coins · · Score: 3, Funny

    My girlfriend's a magician. One night I was driving down the highway, she touched my leg, and I turned into a hotel.

  19. Re:What a Tragedy and No Charges? on Accidental Wii Suicide · · Score: 1

    I agree... It's about time we take all that junk food and soda pop off the shelves.

    Well, the alternative is to learn how to avoid getting caught. You can probably Google it...

  24. Model numbers? Pfffft! on Making Sense of CPU and GPU Model Numbers? · · Score: 1

    Just look at the price and the wattage consumed. The higher, the better, right?

  25. Bad DRM on Ubisoft's Authentication Servers Go Down · · Score: 1

    That sounds highly redundant. I mean, has anybody invented "good" DRM yet? Didn't think so. Let's try to be a bit more concrete, eh? I believe the only way to describe DRM is to say, "effective" and "ineffective". And only one of those really applies at this point.
