Your command of the language is dismal. I shouldn't have to read a short comment like yours three times to figure out the lame-brained meaning you intended. Being from a rural area is not a valid excuse for a diminished ability to communicate clearly.
It took me a few seconds to figure out the title. At first I thought we were supposed to jump for joy that Jesus was making a comeback in June. Oh I don't know...which is more exciting?
So, like yeah, it has to be said. So now Apple will start using Orange Utangs (sic) to make they're shit so is they dont have to deal with the fall out from the FoxCon suicides an bad conditions and all a that. I feel sorry for the Chinese workers. But not mush. But if they can get the ape folks to do the manyoufacturing in the USA, USA, USA, then I'm all for it. WOOHOO!!!! WOOHOO!!!! WOOHOO!!!!
and I resent all these comments so far. You guys are just down on me because my user ID is so recent. Really I just want to chill in my cage and look at pron and if facebook is useful for anything, maybe I can guilt Eastwood into sending some friggin' bananas to me. Bastard left me hanging. Never answered my calls. At least I don't live in my mom's basement like you guys. I have my dignity! And before anyone says it - I am Ookokook - I am Ookokook - I am Ookokook. Yeah, even us apes know the jokes...
I live in New York and can't find a convenience anywhere when I need one. Uncivilized dump that it is. Why should I pay $2.00 when I can just pee anywhere. What?
Panties definitely not in a wad here, thanks. The joke doesn't work on face value and the explanation just makes it more lame IMHO. And it is not a matter of 'taking' a joke. I 'get' the joke but it is not funny. I couldn't give a crap about political correctness and all of that bollocks, so don't get me wrong. Better luck next time. At least you still have your score of 5 intact and my opinion is relatively irrelevant!
I think a lot of companies have been lulled into the (becoming outmoded) notion that this legislation is all about protecting their physical products from being copied and flooding the market with knock-offs that devalue their precious originals (hence the inclusion of the Rolex, Este Lauder etc. on the list). What is wrong with this notion is that the person who wants that 'premium' brand has enough money to pay for it, and those that don't have that kind of money and want to feel like they do will buy the knock-off. Everyone should be happy with that. No lost sales in this equation.
What is a real issue - from my limited knowledge and understanding is that the long history of 'knock-offs' is being conflated and equated with file sharing, which is just plain incorrect, no matter how you look at it. You surely, in logical terms, can't have legislation that equates physical goods with infinitely reproducable files.
A film or a song is not a handbag or watch and there should never, ever be any legislation that postulates that they are somehow equal in value. It just defies the most basic logic.
I can't think of anything else to say except that SOPA is just terribly wrong. WRONG!

It is fixed in the article now. Maybe it was just the summary that was incorrect.
Why are you even mentioning Word? Word has nothing to do with typography.
Not much. What's snu-snu with you?
What? Like Texas?

It's the eighties all over again.
How is Netflix 'better service' if the selection is limited? You are contradicting yourself.

I used Skype a few times. Then I evolved.

So all Asians are the same , huh? George Takei is Japanese American. How is this relevant to the Chinese space program? NOT funny.
Smug bastard
So you're an engineer and you wait tables? Huh? That ain't much!
I meant to say, a film file or a song file. No intention of demeaning the creativity or inherent cultural value of any of the items mentioned.

But his house has gold and platinum and diamonds and ground unicorn horn mixed in with the mortar so it is only increasing in value. So there. What?
as soon as I read 'yada, yada, yada' I stopped reading. What terrible writing. Stop this dreadful descent into Seinfeldism.
There have been stories about this kind of thing happening before. Nothing new.
