  1. Who cares? on The Challenge of Web Hosting Once You're Dead · · Score: 1

    It's rather unlikely that I'll care what happens to my domain after I'm dead.

  2. Lawsuit incoming? on How To Set Up a Pirate EBook Store In Google Play Books · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Unless every single pirated work is free on their store, Google is in for a massive lawsuit and probably criminal charges for profiting on copyright violations.

    you don't see anyone calling an end to the madness there...

    Are you new here?

    Or redefine it such that you don't meet the requirements and they bring in an H1B. Stay on topic! :-)

  5. Contract on Ask Slashdot: How To Own the Rights To Software Developed At Work? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Get a signed contract, written by a lawyer. Don't expect anything else to hold up in court.

    H1Bs aren't immigrants. They are foreign workers here to take jobs that no one wants. That's the "theory", anyway. In practice, they are used to import indentured servants at the cost of US citizens.

    What fucking planet do you live on?

  8. Re:They trained their replacements on FWD.us To Laid-Off Southern California Edison Workers: Boo-Hoo · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Given current business practices in the US, the rational thing to do is train your replacements incorrectly, but in such a way as their lack of training is only noticeable after you are fired, or long enough after the training has taken place that it can't be tracked down to your specific instruction. This way, you either harm the company who fucked you or you give them an employee who can't do the job, showing that H1Bs aren't worth the effort.

  9. Re:US South on Interactive Map Exposes the World's Most Murderous Places · · Score: 2

    Funny. I see teens and young twenty-somethings carrying semi-automatic weapons everywhere. On the streets, in the mall, on buses and trains. Even occasionally in synagogues. Yet, somehow, Israel is not particularly high on the list of murder statistics. Perhaps guns themselves have little to do with it?

    Detroit, to my knowledge, is the only city in MI with its own income tax.

    Detroit killed itself. It did not need, and indeed did not want, help from anyone else, including its own suburbs.

    This is why it's morally OK to fuck over corporations.

    His system isn't even that good. In his world, the better armed or more vicious people get justice. Everyone else is just a victim.

    ...people can have perfectly fine private systems to deal with criminals, with murder, theft, breaches of contract and any type of harm.

    Right. It's called vigilante justice. It doesn't require proof, because who do you have to prove it to? That means that when we come and rape your mother and your dog and then rip your balls off with a pair of pliers, you can't do anything about it because it was justice for some crime. No need to involve authorities, right?

    I hope your car is totalled by a refrigerator falling off the back of one of these trucks while you're driving at highway speeds, and that you end up in the hospital with several broken bones and a perforated artery.

    Then you can come back to slashdot and tell us all about the sickening law that would have paid your bills for you, instead leaving you destitute.

    Don't say that. Your terms are perfectly acceptable to them. And they will help your fingers become cold and dead.

  20. Re:Waste of Time on James Comey: the Man Who Wants To Outlaw Encryption · · Score: 1

    Actually, you're a complete and total moron.

    The difference between encryption and encoding is that encryption is designed to hide the content from those without specific knowledge of the encoding. The standard such as Unicode, ASCII, etc. are designed to make the content available to anyone who receives the content. It may be only a matter of intent, but that makes it different.

    The AI issue is irrelevant because it's never going to happen. It's certainly not going to happen within a few decades. You might want to consider not looking like a complete and utter moron.

  22. Re:Hmmm ... on Defense Distributed Sues State Department Over 3-D Gun Censorship · · Score: 2

    Sincerity is irrelevant to the law. Either there is a specific law forbidding specific (types of) speech, or there isn't. There is a law, HIPPA, which forbids disseminating patient information. Prior to that law, it was legal. Prior to anti-hate speech laws, it was legal. Get the picture?

    It is currently legal, based on the first amendment, to disseminate plans for printable gun parts. If there is a law which covers it, it is the State Department's burden to prove that in a court of law.

  23. Re:Hmmm ... on Defense Distributed Sues State Department Over 3-D Gun Censorship · · Score: 2

    How about: if you can't point to a law forbidding it, it's not forbidden?

    Publishing certain private information can cause harm to the person, therefore a law was created to limit dissemination. But the point is, it was legal until the law was written and approved.

    If the State Department feels disseminating plans for printable gun parts should be illegal, they can ask Congress to pass such a law.
