    . ....Anyday.

    I'll take my chances here, just so long as every time they hit us here, the miserable filthy rat bastards that plan, finance and harbor these immoral vermin get it back 100 times over.

    Use all the daisycutters and hellfires you need, we'll make more.

    You know...If the Copyright laws wern't so f'ed up, chrisd could actually POST some of his stuff, so the rest of us clueless morons could appreciate just what a great man this (possibly) was. When you're dead, your stuff should go into public domain, period.

  17. HuuuuuuuuuuHHHHH? on How The DMCA Is Enforced · · Score: 3, Interesting
    .



    BayTSP tracks for the FBI the global carriage of kiddy porn. When a big child pornography bust takes place, it is generally on the basis of evidence gathered by BayTSP.



    HUH? What, EXACTLY, is the legal basis for BayTSP to search for and to hold Kiddie Porn? How is it that they are exempt from these laws?


    Only sworn law enforcement officers should be permitted to perform this evidence search and digital duplication(collection). Contractor personnel are not subject to that very necessary body of laws that deal with "Abuse Under Color of Authority".

  21. Shhhhhh! Don't tell the RIAA! on AMD Makes 10-Nanometer Transistor · · Score: 3, Funny


    Once the RIAA gets news of this I'm sure they'll find some hack think-tank that will make the proclamation that according to their data, there is a direct correlation over time between "Transistors Per CPU" and "Music Piracy". Lawyer parties will follow.



    (When I started typing this, I was making a joke. But now that I've read it back a few times, this looks more probable than improbable.)

  22. In other news... on Bruce Perens Canned by HP · · Score: 4, Funny


    Yesterday, Carly Fiorina, CEO of Hewlett-Packard, came out in support of the 1633 house arrest of Galileo Galilei during an address to industry executives.

    "Pope Urban the Eighth had every right to do this.", Ms. Fiorina exclaimed. "Mr. Galilei knew that this 'Sun belongs in the Center' heresy was dangerous stuff and he should have known better than to go around spouting off about it. If I were Pope, I would have canned his ass much, much sooner."
