  1. Messing w/their money is messing w/their power. on Israel Says It Will Treat Online Credit Card Theft As It Would Terrorism · · Score: 0

    Since most "democratic" governments are really corporate states, financial-related theft IS terrorism because it threatens the life blood (money) of that corporate
    state. That is, it's theft if someone in the population does the stealing but not if the power elite does the stealing (ie, Wall Street, bankers, etc).

  2. Re:Not anymore (see NDAA) on Leaked Memo Says Apple Provides Backdoor To Governments · · Score: 0

    "*Health care extended to millions of people who wouldn't otherwise have it"
    A 2000 page bill written by the health care industry, with 400 billion of subsidies for said industry, and an exclusion to eliminate coverage of chronically ill children.

    Obama is a moderate republican who knows who's in charge (Corporations), and serves them as most do. Because we have a Corporate State it's silly to waste time about this candidate or that candidate, because almost all of them serve or will serve the Corporate State. As Chris Hedges says: "There is no way to vote against the interests of Goldman Sachs." Non-violent civil disobedience (which includes boycotts) is the only way we have of changing things.

  4. Re:How Not to be Seen on Leaked Memo Says Apple Provides Backdoor To Governments · · Score: 0

    Money trumps privacy rights, especially when it's their money and your rights.

    And for those who have been asleep for the last 10 years: the gov't filters every electronic transaction/transmission you engage in, b/c everyone is a suspected terrorist.

  5. The other side: on New Tool Blocks Downloads From Malicious Sites · · Score: 0

    what's to stop "the authorities" from using this s/w to prove that you intentionality committed an illegal act on your computer?

  6. Your car has been taken away, on Making Small Steps Against Censorship · · Score: 0

    ...but be glad to get it back slowly and in small pieces.

  7. Talk to the labor board *now*... on How to Leave a Job on Good Terms? · · Score: 0

    Talk to the labor board *now*, rather than after you find out he's not paying you.

  8. Let's get this one thing right.... on Does Your Company Pay For Broadband? · · Score: 0

    The correct grammer and spelling for the executive "bonus" is actually --> "Bone Us".

  9. Re:Real vs Virtual Rides on Lost Disney Rides Recreated in CGI · · Score: 0

    I think you are confusing two different rides into one: the log ride at Splash Mountain and the Indian canoes (with paddles) which are on the Rivers of America....

  10. A retail CD is a gamble... on File Sharing and CD Sales, Again · · Score: 0

    First off, it's a *gamble* to buy most CDs b/c you don't know if the songs are any good. How many times have you bought a CD just to find that there was only 1 decent song on it (or no decent songs)?

    And at $15-20 for a CD, I am reluctant to take that gamble.

    Shared MP3s is a great way to *sample* music: I find out if I *do* want to spend the money for that album (or not).

    But the added bonus for us consumers is that we are hearing all kinds of music we would not have otherwise heard. For that reason alone I have bought CDs of groups I am now newly enjoying.

  11. Real Audio Player sux so much that on Real Will Include Ogg Vorbis Support · · Score: 0

    most experienced users refuse to have it on their machines at all. Just b/c they are including OV doesn't mean their Player won't suck anymore and stop freezing up machines.

  12. I think you are confusing (Walt) Disney with on EFF Releases "The Tinseltown Club" · · Score: 0

    ...Michael Eisner. The two are not the same, even though Eisner lusts for that.
    It's the greed, desire to control beyond appropriate boundries, and self-agrandisment that makes me sick of Eisner and his boot-lickers.

  13. Good Advertising on Eminem #2 on Gracenote... Before Release · · Score: 0

    When will folx realize that p2p music sharing is GOOD ADVERTISING ???!!!
    The industry doesn't have control, and that's what freaks them out.

  14. Something's not right here... on Shakedown: How the Business Software Alliance Operates · · Score: 0

    ...say I buy a car. That night as I'm going through my owner's manual, I discover that I am not allowed to let somebody else borrow my car while it sits in the parking lot waiting for me, because that would invalidate the warrenty which only applies to the purchaser.

    By the same token, you buy software, get it home, THEN get the EULA and find the draconian legaleese. What are ya gonna do? You open it and install it, just like everybody else does.

  15. Flamethrowers would be nice on Hardball Tactics For The Geek Lobby · · Score: 0

    Definately flamethrowers to torch them with, on second thought.

  16. Someone needs to put up a flash game on Hardball Tactics For The Geek Lobby · · Score: 0

    ...(like the Bin Laden Liquors site) using Hollings, Feinstein, Stevens, and Schiff as targets for the "player" to throw mud on, or whatever.

  17. PR for the ignorant on Gates: Say No to GPL, Yes to the Microsoft Ecosystem · · Score: 0

    ...it's all PR meant mostly for people who know little or nothing about IT, but who can influence decisions. Sales pitch--nothing new under the sun.

  18. It's About Greed... on Amazon & Used Books II: Bezos Strikes Back · · Score: 0
    --Why should an author or publisher be paid twice for the same singular copy of a book? Fact is, greedy people can't stand it if someone is making money in their realm and they don't also get a piece of it, much less have control over the situation (think used CD sales).

    --The more people who read an author (including used books), the more exposure he/she gets, and that's a good thing because that promotes or cuts future sales of the author (democratic AND capitalistic).

  19. Nice accomplishment... on Streaming RealAudio From a Commodore 64 · · Score: 0, Troll

    ...too bad RealAudio is the devil.

  20. So we need on Kazaa to be shut down? · · Score: 1

    ...so we need a way to stop them from "automatically upgrading" our software so they can disable it. I'm clueless--is there something perhaps in the registry (win) that I can change??

  21. You're not going to like this, but on Unreasonable Searches When Going to Work? · · Score: 1

    Many federal "rights" do not apply in the employer-employee relationship.
    Shocking, but it has been that way for eons.

  22. Why he is AG-- on DoJ Supports Dismissal of Felten v. RIAA Case · · Score: 1

    >Can anyone explain why this guy gets to be attourney general ?

    It was a buy-off--he was running for President.

  23. Every time the record industry pisses me off..... on Still More 'Copy Protected' CDs · · Score: 1

    ....I fire up KaZaA and leave it on full time so more folk can access MP3s.

    Like someone already posted, do a search of Michael Jackson's protected song & you'll see it's already in MP3 format for download.

  24. And it supports ID3 tags on Nomad Portable Jukebox MP3 Player Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Most harddrive-based models still do not yet support ID3 tags. But at this point in time, this player is the best thing going; but it's too pricy, even on sale. Another problem alot of players have is short battery life. Time and more generations will heal all...
