    Don't worry folks, the dose was at approved homeopathic dilution.

  9. Re:Freedom of Speech? on Federal Bill Would Criminalize Revenge Porn Websites · · Score: 1

    "The only freedom which counts is the freedom to do what some other people think to be wrong. There is no point in demanding freedom to do that which all will applaud. All the so-called liberties or rights are things which have to be asserted against others who claim that if such things are to be allowed their own rights are infringed or their own liberties threatened. This is always true, even when we speak of the freedom to worship, of the right of free speech or association, or of public assembly. If we are to allow freedoms at all there will constantly be complaints that either the liberty itself or the way in which it is exercised is being abused, and, if it is a genuine freedom, these complaints will often be justified. There is no way of having a free society in which there is not abuse. Abuse is the very hallmark of liberty."

  13. Re:New Mac Pro sans Windows 7 on A Call For Rollbacks To Previous Versions of Software · · Score: 1

    Where I work, we have 5k OSX users and most, if not all, have a VM running Win7 (Out of ~35k users) -- including myself on one of my MacPros (The other is too old to effectively do it). I also have two windows machines (desktop and laptop).

  14. Re:Why? on Bitcoin Inventor Satoshi Nakamoto Outed By Newsweek · · Score: 1

    You need to find different contacts, an assassin should cost you .5 BTC at most.

  15. And I mean, really, really hard. on Oregon Withholding $25.6M From Oracle Over Health Website Woes · · Score: 1

    Fuck Oracle. They wasted our money.

    At work, I go across the street to smoke -- and there's Netflix and Oracle, and I just want to see a nice big bomb fall out of a Oregon Nat'l Guard plane and blow it to shit. No foul if Netflix's Cust Serv center there takes any damage.

    (Why do I not like Netflix? They fired me for pointing out a security hole on their website -- and 3 years later, it's STILL there.)

    Switch to tea and be civilised. Anyone for a bunch of DRM coffee going into the harbor?

    "No? Because that is how netflix is being "throttled" today. They just don't have a large enough pipe to them to satisfy all the requests."

    That's a straw man at best; Netflix has offered to install servers inside their network for exactly that reason.

    You assume the Universe uses base 10.

  20. Re:It's about time. on Death Hovers Politely For Americans' Swipe-and-Sign Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    Let me know when you get Bank of America to co-brand their credit card with my Credit Union's debit card... so I only have to carry the one card. I don't think "catching up to the world" means what you think it means.

  21. Re:Buck feta on Mac OS X Bitcoin Stealing Trojan Horse Called OSX/CoinThief Discovered · · Score: 1

    "Do you mean WinXP or Win8?"

    Yes.
