"I think that Firefox is the best browser out there, but declaring that its 100% secure is quite foolish. Mozilla/Firefox is built around a complex cross-platform framework that few people really understand well... and there's bound to be bugs."
but does anyone really claim that Firefox or OSS is 100% secure? IMHO, that is a straw man made up by MS partisans, in an attempt to discount claims by OSS people.
OSS: "Our stuff is more secure and has a better track record of security."
MS partisans: "Look they are claiming that their stuff is 100% secure, that's false!"
I think at best it would be a small handful of hacks, who would be best ignored that claim OSS is 100% secure... either that some a purposefull exageration.
Nah i see him well enough. I think it's more a case of soemone who knows what he knows, but is resiting learning anything new... at least as long as it's easy enough for me to do it for him.
spelling and grammar? don't bother me with triffles. i have a world to conquer! *heh*
you're right about that though... come to think of it, i get fustrated with my GF a lot too, when it comes to computer aid.
The worst part about my father though.. is he's NOT computer illiterate. He was writting in basic back in our C-64 days. Even wrote a program that a doctor was using for his research. He's built his own box before, does video editing and everything... i just get fustrated when asked to help him do something as simple as connect his PC to the printer on the home Router... gah.
I did something similar. When in colledge, i tried to run it as a business... that was terrible. It's more work than the money is worth it. In the end, i just ended up helping people for favours in some way or another. A doctor friend, once gave me a ride on his boat and lunch for fixing his PC. It works out well... especially in those cases where you help someone who's a really good cook.)
The funny thing is, the people i hate to help the most are my parents. I dunno if it's a mental block of soem sort, but i seem to get most irritated when they do stuff to their computers.
Criminalized copyright infringement? You have heard of the Pirate act right? It's there...
As for fansubs.. if it were not for these guys.. the US translation studios would not enjoy half the success they do now. These fans built the industry for them. They built the fan base.
um... have you actually seem most men when they are in an all male (or the only females are paid to be there) situation? 13 is being nice.p
I had a friend who was just a cocktail waitress. One day i asked her why she was sad. She said somehting about how i was possibly the only guy in the club that hadn't felt her up that night.
Also, ever been to a male review? i think women are more wild sometimes (but then again, they are usually encouraged to).
Yeah, that would be irritating, but do i have a legal right to have him arrested if his only offense was making jokes about me?
I don't know, it would be up to a judge and jury to decide.
you're f'n kidding me right? As far as i understand it, slander, is when i tell lies about a person. A stupid joke is not a lie. As for the racist remarks.. chances are you'll get your ass beat... and deservedly so. Either way, it's NOT slander... they didn't get arrested for slander.
All i am saying is that the got arrested for disrupting th ecourts, but th earticle makes it sound like they didn't really disrupt the court... just offended some lawyer. Sorry.. but that's not against the law. Heck... i could even call the president a moron if i wanted to, it's not illegal.
What the fuck ever. I'm sick of this lefty redefinition of freedom of speech. You're free to say whatever you want, but not WHEREVER and HOWEVER.
This is the part i find funny, cause i could have sworn i was taking this more form the rightist point of view of, "i'm sick and tired of people taking political correctness too far. people just need to get thicker skin sometimes."
But in this day and age of massive lawsuits... do you really want to risk false arrest as a cop? Even these guys could find a lawyer to defend them for the right price.
Maybe i need to reread the article, but i thought the person who pressed charges, just heard them and was offended. Even if they were talking to him directly, unless they were talking ABOUT him and tried to make what ever they were saying sound factual, it's still not slander. it's just being an ass.
I've told Engineer Jokes to Engineers... should that count as Slander?
When it boils down to it, the real deal comes on whether or not they were disrupting th ecourts function or not, which the article isn't as clear on as i would have liked.
Is it really slander or libel if they are not telling lies about a specific person? I figure if i can deal with the stupid jokes about being a computer geek, they should be able to deal with the lawyer jokes.
I have no problem if they were truly obstructing the court's function, but th earticle isn't that definate on it.

but it doesn't matter, because my schwartz is as big as your schwartz AND i don't play with dolls...

yes.. and turn it into a "death star" with a giant "la-ser."
wow... how cute and stupid.
you do realize that many men who ARE married or with soemone still look at pr0n? heck, i should not leave women out of the picture too.
the simple point is i don't want government siding with lazy parents over my right to see what i want.
ISP's are required to block sites on a certain list? WTF?? isn't that what 3rd party software already does? Buy a friggin' blocker software yourself.
now, if only they'd also show outtakes in #d as well (rumour has it, that thing had a hard time staying on) *grin*
anyone can enjoy it.

don't you think Queer Eye would be a much better example of how to critique someone's wardrobe?

naaah.. everyone HERE uses p2p for perfectly legal stuff
it's the people on other sites that use P2P for illegal activities.
yeah! [/obligatory "me too" post]

According to Steven Toulouse... about 2011
ooops.. i missread that part as fed into a pretzel... ooops...
well yeah, but i can accept that since that could amount to terroristic threatening.

i am just wishing there was some more detail about what happened.
But they they really interfere int he operation of the court or were they just being obnoxious?
had his own special way to make physics problems interesting... he combined cats and kenetic energy...
*sigh* you are probably right...
