  1. Re:Misdirection on Missouri Republican Wants Violent Video Game Tax · · Score: 1

    I thought so too, but they can simply track when you're not home so they know it's actually safe to enter.

  2. Re:can someone please explain to me on How Verizon's 'Six Strikes' Plan Works · · Score: 1

    I stand corrected then :)

    I'm not referring to your ethics/morals in general, but to your mode of making a living: "But I make my living from producing copyrighted works."

    Everything I release is either Creative Commons (BY, NO$, SAME) or simply put to Public Domain; what I don't do is make a living off of copyright.

    And next you'll be telling us about how your grand-dad ran horse-drawn carriages. The world evolves. Talk about a entitlement complex - it's no worse to think you're entitled to the works for free than you are thinking you're entitled to make a living that way. Fair bit of hypocrisy on both sides.

    The cake'd be a lie anyways.

  6. Re:Yay on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    Madmen attack schools for the same reason fur activists fuck with old ladies in fur coats, and not bikers. They know they're unarmed, and can't fight back in a gun-free zone.

    "Gun-free Zone" is shorthand for "First person to walk into here with a gun, owns the place."; in the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king; in the kingdom of the disarmed, the man with a 9mm and plenty of ammo is king - even if he illegally owns it, and technically, shouldn't have one if he was a law-abiding citizen.

    Do Australian police have the duty to protect citizens? That may be the biggest difference about self-defense as US LEOs do NOT have to protect citizens (SCOTUS said so). Shame when a criminal has the right to kill you IF he can get there before the police can.

    And then scrap ALL that when you can print one out at home...

    Always nice when you know where defenseless people are. Takes all the hard work out of crime.

  10. Walled Garden, coming up on White House Must Answer Petition To 'Build Death Star' · · Score: 1

    Give the contract to Apple. That way the X-wing fighters have to agree to give 50% to the store, and besides, think how cute iDeath Star will look in gift shops.

  11. Re:Store your data someplace else on Raided For Running a Tor Exit Node · · Score: 1

    If that's all I can pump through, sure, it'll do.

    I've always heard 'ping", but just prefer as separate letters myself.

    Yes, just look at an election map.

  15. Re:As a classic car enthusiast... on Massachusetts "Right To Repair" Initiative On Ballot, May Override Compromise · · Score: 1

    Nothing fits, with that state's name.

    It's for their mother-in-law's car, I think it's a 70s Pinto.

  17. Re:Sadly on UK Gov't Official Advises Using Fake Details On Social Networks · · Score: 1

    "He said names and addresses posted on social networking sites "can be used against you" by criminals".; while that can probably be applied to FaceBook around here, I'm pretty sure that was not his *intent*. Nice red herring though.

  18. Re:Net energy? on Scientists Turn Air Into Petrol · · Score: 1

    Or LG Spectrum :)

  19. Re:A truly heafty fine on FTC Offers $50,000 For Best Way To Stop Robocalls · · Score: 1

    Simply put, the risk has to exceed the reward. If fines cost more than profits, you've got them.

  20. Re:For great justice... maybe? on Teen Suicide Tormentor Outed By Anonymous · · Score: 1

    Actually I have been. My charges dismissed were on page 6, buried, months later, while my arrest was headlines. DNA didn't even match, came up with a different racial (I'm White, the DNA results indicated "Black").

    There is NO way in HELL I would EVER say they took free speech too far. Not. Even. Close.

    How about the howl of someone who's actually been through that? People with your attitude scare me more than the police.

  21. Slave wages indeed... on Hiring Smokers Banned In South Florida City · · Score: 1

    When the job pays me for 24 hours everyday, then they can tell me what to do during those times. This is nothing but admitting you're a slave under a pretense of freedom. Only slaves get controlled 24/7/365.

  24. Don't shout if you want to keep a secret on Judge Rules Sniffing Open Wi-Fi Networks Is Not Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter if someone's intent is to keep things private; if they shout it out, it's public.

    I am a disaster responder. Get your ham license if communication is an issue, I did. Maybe drag your fat butt out and pass a 35 question test...
