    Maybe Dick Cheney would have had less control, or at least failed more often if Bush were there to fuck things up.

    Someone has to pitch the tea into the ocean and tar-and-feather the British stamp tax collectors.

    It's Ayn Rand; I'm glad you mentioned her, as it saved me the time of reading the rest of your post.

    You go to a restaurant. Your food taste terrible. Do you not complain even though you have no plan to replace the chef and his recipe?
    The first step in fixing something is recognizing that it is broken.

    Indeed. Opera Mini for the iPhone comes in at, like, 3MB, but the flashlight app that does nothing by turn the video camera light on is almost 7MB? What the fuck?

    No, it isn't. You just want it to be because it shatters your little world where

    big brother spying on you is absurd and paranoid.

  7. Re:has TOR addressed this yet? on Tor-Enabled Browser For the iPad, and Easy Tor Nodes on EC2 · · Score: 1

    The same could be said for any network. I bet more than a few people have shared CP over Starbuck's Wifi. Should they be held responsible? I also bet that every ISP in existence has had a few CP users as subscribers, but I wouldn't think twice about starting an ISP, if I were so inclined.

    And this isn't unique to anonymous networks anyway. Remember limewire? Ever look at the incoming searches? Full of filth.

    AT&T, and all the other little baby Bells, have had over a hundred years and massive subsidies to build their networks; Apple would have to start from scratch.

  10. Re:Not in every field on Is American Innovation Losing Its Shine? · · Score: 1

    Things take time to develop. Under your 3 year plan, there would never be any iPhone, because you would never have the foresight to invest in anything that wasn't immediately profitable. You lack vision, and ultimately the ability to innovate, and any company you own will stagnate until dead.

    Look again, it will do that a few times, but eventually it just Truncates the message.

    They care about keeping data usage down.

    Not at all, another 64KB is nothing. Absolutely nothing in the face of everything else, like internet radio and youtube that come installed on the phone. That's like trying to only save the pennies from a burning pile of one hundred dollar bills.

    That is what happens when the realities of being an advertising company win against the ideals of being a tech company.

  13. Re:Bad sumary much? on Google Pulls the Plug On BlackBerry Gmail App · · Score: 1

    I think that the best thing about the Gmail app was that it didn't truncate your email after 32Kb of HTML like the native email client did. Christ RIM, it's 2011, I can torrent on other phones and you want to cut me off at 32Kb per email to save bandwidth? It was bullshit like that that made you lose me as a customer.

    It prevents codec bullshit, or at least minimizes it. That makes it great.

    The vast majority of people are fine with paying $30/month or whatever Netflix charges so they can whimsically watch whatever they want on demand rather than searching for a good torrent, waiting 30 minutes for it to download (with a good swarm), then watching it.

    Sure, this is positive regulation, but let's not forget: it's still regulation!

    Stopped reading right there. Your unstated premises that `all regulation is bad' - and presentation of that as an obvious fact- was a signal that you are just a shill and I could safely ignore anything you might have said.

    keep in mind he is a judge and has an idea how the law might work...

    Haha, nice one. The judges here in Texas are the biggest dumb fucks you could find outside of the legislature. They are elected, with parties, so he was probably chosen on how well he would enforce the will of the Republican Party, then everyone just voted party line. These dipshit idiot judges are outmatched in stupidity and ignorance of the law only by the jury. It's better in the higher courts, but district and below may as well be run by a vigilante lynch mod.
