  1. Re:The FCC has no right to dictate terms on Congress Unhappy With FCC's Proposed Changes To Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    In other words, tell the FCC to forget the regulatory creep.

  2. *cough*Rent control*cough* on Congress Unhappy With FCC's Proposed Changes To Net Neutrality · · Score: 0

    There has NEVER been a similar situation that when unregulated goes well for the consumer.

    Basic economics
    Regulation is like salt in the food. Maybe a little, if the ingredients aren't bringing enough on their own.

  4. Re:Silly Peasants on Water Cannons Used Against Peaceful Anti-TTIP Protestors: the Next ACTA Revolt? · · Score: 1

    We can also reclaim liberty through legal means that do not cause more problems than they solve. Takes more time and maturity, though.

  5. Re:(currently) on California Bill Would Safeguard Consumers' Rights To Criticize Firms Online · · Score: 2

    Because the junkie never plans to overdose, right?
    It's not that I think you shouldn't have the liberty to keep on plucking that chicken; my quibble is that those denying Basic Economics, like yourself, have decreed that the rest of us will go with you.
    I promise I'll share some gruel with you while we're huddled for warmth below the overpass, and we review your "pretend fantasyland Austrian economics are valid" notion.

    I daresay were headed toward re-living it.

    What planet were you on, again? The protesters may be scenery, but

    When the negotiations are done, each country can either accept it or reject it through a democratic process.

    Seems kinda funny. Heh.

    Expecting government to be accountable to you, and stuff.

  9. Yeah, I guess as long as we plan to quit cheating on our spouses (someday), then the basic immorality is somehow cool.

  10. Re:Not First Amendment on California Bill Would Safeguard Consumers' Rights To Criticize Firms Online · · Score: 1

    But the 13th Amendment, alas, does not protect us from the economic effects of Congress borrowing you into penury.
    So we can enjoy being the freest debt-slaves EVAR!

    Well worth your time => Euromania

  12. One might be tempted to think that on Did Mozilla Have No Choice But To Add DRM To Firefox? · · Score: 0

    Legal vs illegal is pretty cut and dried. An act is either illegal or it's legal. There's no "sort of" when it comes to an issue of legality.

    I mean, it's a fine tip of the hat to the notion of "Rule of Law".
    But the Affordable Care Act, inter alia, belies the notion. Law is now "that thing we emote about together with an eye toward polls".

    Oh to have a string! All I have is this lone integer, you insensitive clod!

    The way ZFS saved Sun marks it as an über-technology.

    Everything Men Know About Women. They say Knott Mutch is the nom-de-plume for a Slashdot editor, but I'm not sure which one.

    Could you, please, convince me back that my life was not spent in vain?
