  1. This is music to my ears on Via Files Suit Against Apple · · Score: 1

    I am just thrilled that the world of commerce is about to whip the delusions of grandeur out from under Apple. They wanted controversy instead of co-operation because they have a sense of entitlement, and now they have it. They want foes instead of friends, and the universe has provided. I'm even more thrilled that all the Apple fan-boys are going to have to work overtime convincing themselves and their burned out temporal lobes that corporate worship isn't a sub-human enterprise.

  2. Re:I Am Amazed on Canberra Police Want Drones To Track Cars · · Score: 1

    You are a goof, STFU.

  3. Re:Why am I so surprised :) on Apple Bans Game App That Criticizes Smartphone Production · · Score: 1

    Purchasing apple products demonstrates a lack of character to begin with. This kind of corporate attitude usually flies right over the heads of people who make these purchases anyway, they aren't grown ups.

  4. Re:Moral of the story.... on After Firing CEO, Yahoo Puts Itself Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    The same way the government does it to us, Tax. The names and titles any person goes by are still public. Including a corporation's.

  5. Re:Musicians on Environmental Enforcement Agents Targeting Guitars · · Score: 1

    I'd venture to say most musicians don't vote, and I can't say I blame them. Who wants to put their name behind the kind of fascism masquerading as democracy these days? People have the government they deserve, and at this point, voting is where it starts. I think Einstein said it best... Something about insanity.

  6. No meter means no development on Alloy Could Produce Hydrogen Fuel Using Sunlight · · Score: 2

    "But will never be made commercially available because it would result in a breakdown of the energy cartel's strangle-hold on the world's economy."

  7. Re:Socialists and/or Fascists on Cybercrime Treaty Pushes Surveillance Worldwide · · Score: 1

    I've been telling people for years now that the Charter actually deminishes peoples rights. Legal Maxim: We're born without a name and number, and are under no obligation to use one. In court, stop using the name, start remembering who you are. Calling yourself a name that belongs to the government puts you in controversy and therefore dishonor. ie. you lose every time.

  8. Social Engineering on What's the Carbon Footprint of Bicycling? · · Score: 1

    The idea isn't to get us to recognize how much we're damaging the earth. The idea is to get us to believe that by virtue of our existence we're messing up the earth for our elite powers that be. Which of course is nonsense, the earth had plenty more carbon floating around before we got here, which plants happily turned into oxygen for us. Plant more trees instead of selling them across borders to make enough government cash to pay your fat pension. Someone should figure out the carbon footprint of government.

  9. Re:First! on What's the Carbon Footprint of Bicycling? · · Score: 1

    What is the carbon foot print of carbon footprint studies? Why don't these savants calculate the reduction in carbon use by using a bike instead of a car every day for a year? Cars take carbon to make too. I wish these scientists and politicians had parents that taught them how to be human instead of cogs in a debt slave construct. For example, its a good idea to tell your kids that if you look for things to bitch about, you'll find them. Guaranteed.

  10. Re:Oh come on on Obama Administration Closing Recently Opened Datacenters · · Score: 2

    "You want to see some really fucked up people? You should come to the debtors support group!" Look at your birth certificate and then look up the meaning of certificate, and take about five minutes thinking about why government does whatever it wants. I'll save you some time. Its because we deserve the treatment. Our parents literally (commercially anyway) give us away, flesh and blood to corporate government. Their house, their rules. End of story.

  11. Re:Security Theater on Science Fair Entry Shuts Down Airport Terminal · · Score: 1

    If I wanted to run the lives of millions of people I'd probably set aside the cash to pay for the reason people welcome it with fanfare. Such as getting a news story printed that claims people might smuggle a bomb on a plane in a printer. It was a story. Like at bedtime. Lets be real, if the brown people we torment were really that capable and motivated they'd be suicide bombing our asinine security lineups. Wouldn't that be a chuckle? What then? If they had separate flights for adults who don't quiver with joy when corporate government takes their rights away, I'd fly on those planes instead. Once I was sure the powers that be weren't bombing those too to whip the processed people into a fury.

  12. Re:I hate facebook but agree with him on Facebook Exec: Online Anonymity Must Go Away · · Score: 1

    Perhaps if you drew yourself a picture, and extrapolated your data to reflect the potential erosion of liberty that typically goes with the involvement of private corporate entities on our lives you could avoid sounding how you have with your rebuttal of [You clearly didn't read what I said, because you don't agree with me]. Save your sanctimony for people who deserve it. If you personally want facebook to verify who you are for your bank before you can get money to sustain yourself, that's cool. Its once the rest of the wal-mart electorate follow suit and it becomes mandatory that I'll have an issue with it.

  13. Re:Prosecutorial misconduct on Online Parody Cartoon Targeted For Prosecution · · Score: 1

    That is because we do not have lawful courts, just ones by decree. That means they have power over us because 999 people out of 1000 will belly up and let the narrow minded people in costumes tell them what their rights are.

  14. Constitution Schmonstitution on Online Parody Cartoon Targeted For Prosecution · · Score: 2

    The constitution diminishes our inalienable human rights, it doesn't augment them. Its purpose is to restrict corporate (ie: microsoft) government which in reality is there to regulate commerce. If anyone needs proof that we're trained from kindergarten to behave like and even claim to be corporate entities (and therefore subject to regulation), they need to read more books. (And not the kind from Chapters either.)

  15. Re:The war on information continues... on First PS3 Jailbreaker Arrested In South Africa · · Score: 1

    Its safe for me to say that the monopolization of thought occurred a long time ago. The public, statistically at least has had its mind decorated for long enough that almost anything that happens, or any 'new' information that becomes available evokes a predetermined and self destructive response. I think its called disillusionment or demoralization; One or the other. To say that the cost to humanity so far is staggering, is a weapons-grade understatement.

  16. Re:I hate facebook but agree with him on Facebook Exec: Online Anonymity Must Go Away · · Score: 1

    You detest facebook, but figure it would be good to tie it in with your bank to avoid a few fees? Nonsense.

  17. Re:Making Piracy Preferable on Ubisoft Considers Always-Connected DRM "A Success" · · Score: 1

    That depends on how you look at it. Humans are part of nature, and that belongs to everybody. Its only by virtue of an assumed good faith agreement that I don't enjoy property or any other product of the earth without permission. Ownership includes both access AND control, and once information is released, these are no longer exclusive.

  18. Re:Men = 10x more valuable. on Chinese Couple Sells Kids To Fund Online Gaming · · Score: 1

    Ha ha, nice one.

  19. No guts no glory on HBGary Federal Forces Aaron Barr Out of DEFCON · · Score: 1

    The measure of a man is the path he takes in the face of inconvenience. Nice try anyway. Wish someone would harden up and do something good for the world. The occult shall inherit the earth, and we'll do nothing because of normalcy bias.

  20. Re:I've learned not to yell anything at cops on NH Man Arrested For Videotaping Police.. Again · · Score: 0

    You should learn not to attack people for having a different approach to life than you do. Maybe you get all poopy pants when you get gawked at, but real men don't, and this cop should have understood that.

  21. Re:Power of suggestion on PayPal Predicts the End of the Wallet By 2015 · · Score: 0

    Touche

  22. Re:A simple solution... on NJ Judge Rules GPS Tracking of Spouse Legal · · Score: 0

    Sounds like a better approach to me. Marriage is a trilateral contract between you, her and the state, and is essentially a bet against your own success, and sincerity of affection (now that women are legally persons). The best solution is not to marry people with a debt-slave mentality, but good luck with that.

  23. Re:Anyone can predict crime, even without a comput on Law Enforcement Wants To Try 'Predictive Policing' · · Score: 0

    Well no offense, but that is a biblical scale lack of foresight and a flat out attack on human rights.

  24. Power of suggestion on PayPal Predicts the End of the Wallet By 2015 · · Score: 0

    "Pay-Pal predicts that by the year 2015 everything will be purchased on E-Bay and people will decide to stop buying and selling things privately" Get a grip. The audacity of these corporations is hilarious.

  25. They can go after whomever they want on US, UK Targeting Piracy Websites Outside Their Borders · · Score: 0

    Jurisdiction is a matter of commercial liability in this day and age, not what we're taught to believe anyway. I think Lawyers say jurisdiction is ensured in most cases for reasons that go beyond precedents or statute, its fear and conditioning that give way to jurisdiction ultimately (I just recently learned about my inalienable right of self determination). I suspect its why they threw the book at that Hispanic mom and her son years ago for downloading an MP3, they knew there was no chance of that debt slave doing ANYTHING about the charges. Theater.
