  1. Stop it. on Threat To Net Neutrality In Europe · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Stop trying to equate network neutrality with stealing. Punishing those who keep stealing/pirating content doesn't have anything to do with NN.

  2. Re:EPA would never let you build them on 12 Small Windmills Put To the Test In Holland · · Score: 1

    The sum total of human history shows you may be mistaken.

    "No-one even THOUGHT about the possibility of a terrorist attack. Makes me glad to live in Uruguay." So you are glad that your politicians are complete and total smegging idiots?

    If pictures of dead or dying kids will not get the anti-vaccine people to change their minds then I doubt simply seeing a windmill will get those who dislike them to change their minds. Most people really hate admitting a mistake.

  5. Re:Just because the wrong word has been used for a on How Piracy Affected the Launch of Demigod · · Score: 1

    If pirates spent half as much time earning money as they spent justifying their actions they would be able to afford to buy the content they are stealing.

    Copyright is directly mentioned in the constitution.

    If you want the content why not simply pay for it?

  11. Re:Gold selling is a good idea on Game Developers On Gold Selling · · Score: 1

    A good analogy is to /. like pickles are to cars.

  12. Re:The problematic truth on Vista Post-SP2 Is the Safest OS On the Planet · · Score: 4, Funny

    I use it (Vista) because it is the best tool for my needs.

    Data Link Control - it is an older network protocol.

    Source for those numbers if you please.

  16. Re:Few companies work as hard to make bad decision on Microsoft Ending Mainstream Support For XP · · Score: 1

    I use Vista every single day, what problems should I be seeing, why aren't I seeing them and how do I recreate said problems?

    What is so bad about Vista on decent hardware?

    Seeing as how I just picked up 3 Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 keyboards for 15.00 each NIB shipped from dell spending 69.00 on a keyboard is too much. Particularly in this economy.

    /. editors don't edit.

  23. Why they did it. on Activists Use Wikipedia To Test Aussie Net Censors · · Score: 3, Funny

    Using wikipedia to prove this point might endanger their donations. Lack of donations equates to not as many expensive dinners out for the higher ups and that has to be avoided at all costs.
