  1. Re: Finally, the gloves will come off! on Twitters Says It Will Ban Trump If He Breaks Hate-Speech Rules (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree. You can offend anyone but that doesn't make it hate speech. Fuck Twitter. We should create our own version of it.

  2. Sensationalistic drivel!! on Trump Will Get Power To Send Unblockable Mass Text Messages To All Americans (nymag.com) · · Score: 1

    Bush and Obama have both had this "power". You're probably leaving out those details and using Trump's name because you didn't vote for him and you're trying to stir up controversy. Quit being a liberal snow flake!!

  3. Flash Networks Layer 8 product? on Developer Draws Legal Threat For Exposing Indian Telco's Net Neutrality Violation · · Score: 1

    This looks like their Layer 8 product: http://www.flashnetworks.com/L... The Layer8 platform helps mobile operators engage with their subscribers as they browse the web, and to offer them information and services that generate new downstream revenues from over-the-top affiliations. Layer8 is a clientless solution which appears over web pages on smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Does anyone know if the javascript was archived somewhere? I'd like to see it.

  4. Re:Is it just me... on Microsoft On US Immigration: It's Our Way Or the Canadian Highway · · Score: 1

    Ok, so let's give them that one. However, what they didn't define is what KIND of jobs are created for American citizens? Barista's at StarBucks? Burger flippers at McD's? Housekeeping at Marriott? Waiting tables at ______? I DID NOT list those jobs because I think I'm better than people who hold such a job NOR do I think any less of people in such jobs. My point is, I expect that these "created" jobs are no more than minimum (or barely more than minimum) wage paying jobs. They are jobs, not careers like what the H-1B Visa workers have.

  5. Re:Can someone explain on Disney Pulls a Reverse Santa, Takes Back Christmas Shows From Amazon Customers · · Score: 2

    I've actually had a purchased VOD title removed from me. I contacted Amazon to investigate and was told the the movie studio decided to pull the license from Amazon and go else where (probably an exclusive). I understand their desire for that type of licensing deal, however I had already purchased it and should still be able to watch my legally purchased license. What they should have done was after a certain date, you can no longer purchase it from Amazon but can still view your purchase. I complained about the "theft" of my video and Amazon was more than happy to refund my money. I don't know if it's a limitation of their system or fine print in the licensing but the government should step in and stop this practice. That is why I've started bookmarking ALL of my VOD purchases just so I can keep track of them and know where it was purchased (Amazon, Vudu/Ultraviolet, Google Play, Target, etc.).

  6. Um, Sony? on Microsoft, Apple and Others Launch Huge Patent Strike at Android · · Score: 1

    Maybe Google should have licensed the use of Android with an agreement that parties will not sue each other or Google over (questionable?) infringements. I'd guess that they're all sueing because if you add up all their market share together, you'd probably have 10% of the market. Sore losers. Just another reason why I'll never own a Microsoft, Apple, Sony or RIM phone.

  7. Re:jerk on Georgia Cop Issues 800 Tickets To Drivers Texting At Red Lights · · Score: 1

    This is the first time I've logged on in years. I had to log on to just say how right you are!! It's not the letter of the law, but the spirirt in which it was written. Yes, this is exactly why us peons have to pay huge (extortion) retainer fees for what should be simple appearances before a judge.

  8. Smart move! on Mark Twain To Reveal All After 100 Year Wait · · Score: 1

    So he proposed a scheme that the pharmaceutical companies use today; take a protected work (drug) and modify it just enough as to make it a (derivative) new product and enjoy the benefits of the new span of copyright protection.
