  1. Freedom is great isn't it on FSF Suggests That Google Free Gmail Javascript · · Score: 1

    Freedom is great isn't it, people are free to write code then choose what they do with it and how it is licensed.

    Seriously, if you don't like not being able to see, audit, or use Facebook's code, don't use Facebook.

    And while your at it, stop loaning RMS your phones! If he doesn't want to pay the money, or own a device with unacceptable software on it, let him do without.

    And people who don't wish to agree with a license are also free to do without.

  2. Re:Ah, the Republican Party ... on Congressman Wants YouTube Video Covered Up · · Score: 1

    Don't believe for a second he actually paid 28% of his federal income on taxes. Also he also doesn't pay social security on income over 106K.

    How about those nice freedom loving Republicans who sent their brown shirts, AKA State Police, to collect the missing Democrats?

    I know my rates were going up and coverage was getting going down long before Obama took office. In fact it nearly doubled about 5 years ago.

    Do you actually believe that if it were repealed immediately your premiums would drop by 20%?

    Not a chance, your coverage would drop to previous levels, but your premiums certainly wouldn't go down.

  5. Its like jackass with cars on Tesla Sues BBC's Top Gear For Libel · · Score: 1

    The subject pretty much sums it up.

    Except Top Gear is entertaining, at least the Brit version. The US version is more like Jackass, i.e. a bunch of annoying shit-kickers. And yes even the Tanner seems to have turned into a shit-kicker; I guess it was the time he spent as a stunt driver on the Dukes of Hazard.

  6. Re:Really? on California Healthcare Provider Wants Illness-Predicting Algorithm · · Score: 1

    That's what they're going to say. But insurance companies are going to maximize profits, so you may or may not get the early treatment depending on what the insurance company thinks is most profitable for them. But your insurance premiums will also go up because the actuaries will categorize you into a higher risk group.

    When it comes to insurance, the worst case is usually overly optimistic.

  7. Re:As I and many others pointed out yesterday on Amazon's Cloud Player: We Don't Need a License · · Score: 1

    The music cartel would prefer that you have to buy a separate license for each kind of use.

    Actually they prefer a metered pay per play model, but they haven't gotten that one, yet.

  13. Wrong on 12-Year-Old Rewrites Einstein's Theory of Relativity · · Score: 1

    Yes, when someone is a Genius reward them with more work.

    That is really ignorant. When I was rewarded with more work, I just stopped doing it because I didn't appreciate getting to homework till 11:00 at night when I was in grade school.

    The kid will learn that the less he did for them, the less they would ask him to do. And to more time he has to do other fun stuff.

    I had to work my ass off through grade and middle school, doing extra work because I was smart. Then I said screw it. Went through HS, and college doing exactly the minimum and life was a lot more fun.

    I was hated by many because I coasted through semiconductor physics breaking test curves while never doing any homework.

    I thought the teabaggers, (who happen to be running Congress), were against a bigger, more intrusive government?

    If the omnipotent magic man in the doesn't like something, he can say it outright. But guess what? he hasn't said anything in thousands of years. And even then there's no evidence that he actually said anything then, there's nothing actually innovative at all in the bible.

  16. Actual evidence of the FSM on Sludge In Flask Gives Clues To Origin of Life · · Score: 4, Funny

    Perhaps this so called 'sludge' is not really sludge at all. I believe that is is actually sauce, sauce from the Flying Spaghetti Monster itself. And being a sauce, this gives us believers in the FSM more actual evidence for its existence, than the magic man in the sky.

    Glory to the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

  17. Its a done deal on Why the AT&T and T-Mobile Merger Is Bad For Consumers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    They haven't denied any of the other mergers that became the current AT&T.

    They didn't deny SBC when they wanted to offer long distance service either.

    They're not going to deny this either.

    I'm rather surprised they didn't buy Comcast.

    But of course, they might try it even before this deal completes.

  18. But its good for Verizon and others on Why the AT&T and T-Mobile Merger Is Bad For Consumers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It is certainly bad for customers.

    But its good for Verizon and others, because there are a lot of T-Mobile who are: "Anybody but AT&T".

  19. Most lawyers don't make that kind of money either on CS Prof Decries America's 'Internal Brain Drain' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sure a few of them make that kind of money, and a few geeks become Accenture partners and CIOs and make that kind of money as well. But the average lawyer doesn't actually make that much.

    http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Attorney_%2F_Lawyer/Salary/by_Practice_Area

    And those numbers don't seem too far off from my personal experience either. I know a bunch of lawyers, and I make more than most of them. And I'm not even the highest paid geek I know either.

    And I don't have a advanced degree either, so no MS or JD to pay for either, that counts as well.
