  1. Re:Execution on How Far Should GPL Enforcement Go? · · Score: 0

    Even something noble, like the GPL, can be twisted by any Lawyer into another route to extortion.

    ftfy (mostly to correct it, and partially to remove your attempt at trolling)

  2. Re:Tards on Is the Earth Gaining Or Losing Mass? · · Score: 0

    I grew up in a very snowy place. Around 10-15 years ago we used to get 7 feet of snow sometimes (just in one snowfall too), usually before December was over. This year, I think total we got 2-3 inches. That is fact enough for me.

  3. Re:Good grief. Religious zealots really annoy me. on Is the Earth Gaining Or Losing Mass? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Congratulations! You've just posted the most idiotic slashdot comment of 2012.

    We've still got a little less than 11 months to go, don't be giving that award out just yet.

  4. Cars? on DC Comics Prevails In Batmobile Copyright Dispute · · Score: 2

    "Although, generally copyright law does not apply to "useful articles" such as autos."

    So we can download a car, if we really want to.

  5. Re:New tax on Oklahoma Politician Wants To Tax Violent Video Games · · Score: 1

    Not that I think its a bad idea, but who decides what is stupid or not? (And don't answer something like "well everything they say is stupid", I'm being serious here).

  6. Re:Code? on Do You Like Online Privacy? You May Be a Terrorist · · Score: 1

    Considering the way most people text nowadays, yes, I'd say it is. It's certainly cryptic enough.

  7. Re:Code? on Do You Like Online Privacy? You May Be a Terrorist · · Score: 1

    Now all we have to do is get congress to write their bills at Starbucks...

  8. Code? on Do You Like Online Privacy? You May Be a Terrorist · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "Suspicious or coded writings, use of code word sheets, cryptic ledgers, etc"

    To the average citizen, most programming languages would fit this.

  9. Re:And that is what really stiffles innovation on Leaked Zynga Memo Justifies Copycat Strategy · · Score: 1

    You do realize that design patents are WIDELY held by many many companies.

    I was not aware of that. Can you provide examples?

  10. Re:We need an amendment.... on Slovenian Ambassador Regrets Signing ACTA Agreement · · Score: 1

    "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

    http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html

    Now, I think they might be able to get him on bribery. But "they" could be got for bribery as well, so that's unlikely. Seems like failing to uphold the constitution should be an impeachable offence, but I guess when it was written they didn't think that the president was likely to fail in that duty.

  11. Re:And that is what really stiffles innovation on Leaked Zynga Memo Justifies Copycat Strategy · · Score: 1

    Likely the large corporations would never have even come about because someone else would have ripped off their designs in their early stages.

  12. Re:And that is what really stiffles innovation on Leaked Zynga Memo Justifies Copycat Strategy · · Score: 1

    "using random chance to determine an outcome" hardly qualifies as "gameplay"

    You do realize that we have a company that has patented a shape, right?

  13. Re:oooooooh on Leaked Zynga Memo Justifies Copycat Strategy · · Score: 1

    Software is something people write and get paid for writing. That should be the complete extent of income from software... that, and maybe income from running said software.

    Are you saying here that the complete extent of income from software should only be enough to cover the salaries for people who write it? Or are you saying that the only income involved with software at all should be programmer salaries?

  14. Re:Meanwhile... on The Hi-Tech Security at the Super Bowl · · Score: 1

    So why the fuck didnt you vote Bush out in 2004?

    Hypocritical indeed

    Maybe he did. The majority of people choose to vote Bush in again. Personally, I didn't agree, but that's democracy for you.

  15. Re:But unlike the West ... on Japan Plans To Merge Major Science Bodies · · Score: 1

    Until the end of the world. This is 2012, after all.

  16. Re:FIrst YAR Post on Pirate Bay Founders Lose Final Appeal · · Score: 5, Funny

    One day I hope you work in a field which suffers from incessant piracy and you remember back to when you thought it was OK.

    Heh for a moment I thought you meant an actual field on a farm, and I was very confused.

  17. Re:Gee, I wonder what Slashdot will think on Pirate Bay Founders Lose Final Appeal · · Score: 1

    Just pointing out, sometimes the very act of protesting is illegal. So how do you protest unjust laws then?

  18. Re:Waitwhat... on Why Linux Vendors Need To Sell More Than Linux · · Score: 1

    Are you talking about a Virtual Private Server, or hosting your own server in a colocation facility?

    The company I work for has Debian VPS slices, so there's that... But if you're looking for an OS X slice... I think you'd have to use some sort of hackintosh for that.

    If it was WoW that got shut down we'd have riots in the streets...

  21. Re:I'm Dutch. on Dutch ISPs Refuse To Block Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    I'd suggest the same thing be done in the US, but I imagine the government would brand everybody involved to be terrorists (because of the damage done to business interests).

  22. Re:Complied? on Dutch ISPs Refuse To Block Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    They should do like shop owners did during prohibition: "Do NOT do this or else you will circumvent our block of TPB"

  23. Re:Is this that creationist place I heard about? on Inside the Museum of Nonsense · · Score: 1

    and it'd have to be perfect ice too, as Genesis describes stars pre-flood, which means it must have been optically clear.

    Oh, so that sort of thing actually exists? All the ice I've ever seen is clearISH, see-through to the point where a thick enough concentration would obscure vision. But if perfectly clear ice exists then I guess that sort of thing would work...

    How many of those are manufacturing jobs?

    I actually own a pair of those. I use them not so much anymore for the anonymous properties (because honestly when you're the only person wearing a pair everyone knows who you are) but more because the design allows me to see behind me while wearing them.
