  1. Re:In the Meantime on Android Piracy Sites Seized By US Government · · Score: 1

    I'm talking about idiots like you making it extremely easy for the MPAA/RIAA to marginalize people who want copyright reform. They can just point out retarded statements like your own to basically get the lawmakers to ignore the entire debate from the other side. You don't help anyone by being a shrill asshat.

  2. Re:Is anyone surprised by this? on AT&T Defends Controversial FaceTime Policy Following Widespread Backlash · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actaully Apple has nearly 4 times the operating income and 6 times the net income of AT&T. Gross profit is mostly a useless measure.

    Actually most companies accept more payment options than just Visa and Mastercard. Name me a company, not some niche store that 10 people shop at, that many people deal with on a daily basis that doesn't take either cash, checks, have their own line of credit, another payment service like Paypal or things like western union payments.

    It's trivially easy to use full disk encryption with an iPad and for your iTunes backups. Welcome to 2 years ago.

    Apple Wireless Keyboard
    The incredibly thin Apple Wireless Keyboard uses Bluetooth technology, which makes it compatible with iPad. And you’re free to type wherever you like — with the keyboard in front of your iPad or on your lap.

    This took 2 seconds to find. It's amazing how low the bar for 'insightful' and 'nformative' mods is these days. Apparently all you have to do is make ignorant anti-Apple statements.

  6. Re:What a moron on Android Piracy Sites Seized By US Government · · Score: 3

    One can imagine that people who make these statements are purposefully trying to get those who want copyright reform to be marginalized by saying exteremely stupid things.

  7. Re:In the Meantime on Android Piracy Sites Seized By US Government · · Score: 1

    The only thing I'm scared of is idiots like you making it so no one listens to anyone who speaks up about copyright reforms. Trying to claim that not being allowed to violate copyright law is a thought crime is one of the dumbest this I've ever heard. You make it so that the people who aren't shrill become easy to marginalize.

    Because I realize that bitcoin is a giant scam? Because I know that Mastercard is not a bank?

    Competition to what exactly? Assuming it would have taken off Mastercard would have been raking in money off the conversion fees on each transaction.

    It's funny that you actually think bitcoin people actually even know anything about this topic. 99% of them are clueless Internet tards who parrot the "fiat currency is teh bad!!!" slogans they hear from other Internet tards.

    True and it was sourced from a discussion in an IRC channel.

    How does Mastercard have control over the global flow of money? It's saying stupid things like this for why people mock bitcoin and its supporters.

    Which is close to what the submission used which was 'Astronomers catch a star in the act of devouring a planet'. Soulskill was trying to be an editor but did a shit job at it.

    Select 'Plain Old Text'. This option has been there since, basically, forever.

  15. Re:Slightly disappointed on BitCoin Card To Launch In 2 Months, Says BitInstant · · Score: 1

    Credit card transactions that involve currency conversions do carry fees. This is no different.

    Because the question asker specifically asked for a network recorder?

  17. Re:It would be a dangerous precedent. on RapidShare Urges US To Punish Linking Sites and Not File-Sharing Sites · · Score: 0, Troll

    Facilitating copyright infringement is a crime and has been upheld by the US courts. Linking to copyrighted material would fall under facilitation. You may not agree with it, but that's the way it is. Free speech doesn't give you cover for it either.

  18. Wouldn't work on Ask Slashdot: Using a Sandbox To Deal With Spambots? · · Score: 2

    This wouldn't work because spambots don't keep using a single account. If it were that easy spambots would have already been long defeated.

    Except it doesn't teach you anything and ignores the fact that zip ties are used far more than handcuffs for restrainng people these days. It's just another dumb video of timothy wanking around and the editors thinking this stupid shit will somehow stem the tide of user loss.

    What self defense? Motorola was the one who sued Apple first.

    Motorola Mobility is the one who started the fight against Apple not the other way around. So to claim that this is due to Apple attacking them is wrong.
