Just a fucking pity they can't employ just as sophisticated of an anti-spambot on a tech-savvy website like, oh, say, HERE maybe?
It would be dead-easy to implement, any post with a link repeated more than twice in it cans the post, and 3 of them or more cans the poster. It's that fucking simple. It won't cure all cases but come on, this dickless asswipe has dozens of sock-puppet accounts here and spams nearly every thread here with 2-3 identical copies of his e-xcrement. I'm reasonably sure that the jag-off is doing this on other social media and tech websites too. What's the matter, not getting enough suckers to scam from the TV ads on basic cable?
I realize this forum is based on (almost) complete freedom of speech and not editing or moderating anything, but hanging's too good for this fuckstick.
I think you meant Buffalo Bob. Buffalo Bill was a western show star and celebrity, Buffalo Bob was played by the guy that plays Captain Stottlemeyer on Monk, Ted Levine!
The tale of the contract that cannot be enforced, for it contains the the name that must not be spoken, it is written on the parchment that cannot be seen, and was signed with the pen of ink that does not dry, by mysterious and powerful figures in a darkened room on a moonless night at the stroke of midnight!
No, I'm attacking it because we can't afford it. At least not a government-sponsored solution. Let the cheating lying companies that created the mess be responsible for cleaning it up. I mean our gov is talking about taking away the money it's citizens have let it hold in escrow for all their lives. If this is how broke we are as a country, WTF??
My other point of attack is that our wonderful, dysfunctional government can't seem to pass any legislation that doesn't either back big business or the DoD, at the expense of fucking the common man, so I'm sure somehow someone's rights or assets will be abused trying to "stop the horror". Re: The wonderful, non-functional War(s) on Whatever...
This is just what our broke-ass, can't-find-it's-dick-with-it's-own-hands, defective government needs, another resource drain and another nanny role in which they clearly have no business.
I'm not religious, but I was raised Christian and I remember the dogma.
He's referring to the Divine Trinity, The Son, The Father and the Holy Spirit. The 1/3 he referred to was the Son (Jesus). God is omnipresent due to his existence in all three "states", even though one was in a human form and was killed by men.
If you're going to bash other posters, make sure you know what the poster was actually taking about...
Besides responding to an obvious troll, I'd like to point out that I have a VoIP service (ATT U-Verse), and they do the exact same thing, adding about 10 stupid misc. "government" fees and "equipment surcharges" to the bill. It's just as incomprehensible and steeped in nonsense as the old land-line bills used to be, and the assholes manage to "bill creep" me up about $3-5 more and more every damn month, just like the old land-line. Progress? You tell me...
There are elephants in rooms, and there are white elephants. The two never combine. I know, I read the manual.
The elephant in the room is an unavoidable fact everyone is ignoring. A white elephant is a rarity, something never seen normally. Then there are pink elephants, which are hallucinations no one ever wants to see.
You see, the white elephants never hang around in rooms long enough for everyone to notice, but not comment on.
Sorry, just a pet peeve like "irregardless"... In fact I have several pet peeves, I got my last one from a shelter!
So are all the other bullshit applications of the "Terrist" label these days. They used to call the crimes murder, disturbing the peace, espionage, sedition, arson, being a public nuisance, criminal misadventure, etc. Now we have this new sweeping generic "we don't like you or what you did" set of vague terrorist laws that conveniently allow anyone suspected (not even convicted!) of doing anything the establishment doesn't like to be disappeared permanently or held indefinitely. I agree with OP, this is seriously fucked up, what's next?
Maybe this is true if you're ripping exclusively WAV files, yes each extract should be identical excluding large errors as you said. But the problem comes when compressing - each encoder program is going to do the MP3 crunch a little differently, so the same pristine CD compressed to MP3 will give different results when compressed using LAME vs. say the original Fraunhoffer codecs. I also suspect even the same encoder may cause different rips on the same source due to read jitter, system metadata and possibly floating point implementation and roundoff error differences, etc. So you have at least 4 popular bitrates (128, 224, 256, 320 at least, plus all the possible VBR variants) multiplied by how ever many encoder programs you have out there, multiplied by the number of compressing formats (AAC, MP3, FLAC, etc.) = the _minimum_ number of permutations of the same song you might see in the wild.
What's wrong is that the "disorderly conduct" charge is completely discretionary. It's used for a "we don't like you or what you did, one or both" bullshit catch-all charge when no particular law has actually been broken. If the cop had a bad day and didn't get any nookie the night before, he can have you arrested for no reason at all. It will usually not stand up once you get before a judge, especially if the crime was just pissing off the officer, but that will be small relief after you have gone through the criminal system, been booked and fingerprinted, and got to share a cell with Bubba for a few hours or days. Anyway the problem is it's not society's opinion, it is that of a fallible, human cop.

Congratulations, sir or madam.
You have nearly won the contest for who can be the largest drain on our society.
I do hope you are proud of your achievement, the world is a better place because of you.
Please kill yourself now.

Would that be a "Soy" capsule?
Sorry, couldn't resist...
And if you did, you'd get a nice treat! The victim has some DAMN first-class sweater meat!!!

Really. I mean MAN UP AND GROW A PAIR! Legislating hurt feelings is about the most asinine thing I've heard, well, today, anyway...
He's obviously from the STNG planet where people only speak in metaphor!

Darmok at rest.

Yeah, Right. - haven?
If he phoned it in, then on his worst day, his most half-assed effort was still 300% better than the remakes and sequels without him.

Whoosh...
The comment was about human nature, not grammatical structure.

Reminds me of the Fifth Element scene with the weapons dealer:
Dealer's Associate: (walking away): "Did you tell them about the Red Button?"
CUT TO:
Customer Alien: "What's this Red Button for?" -- PUSH
(Offscreen) BOOM!
Some of us aren't just Old Farts, actually, we've seen the movie and know how it ends!

I know you're right, but dude, you sound like one of those stupid Bing commercials! Read your post in a monotone and see what I mean :)
Yep, I'm amazed I've lived this long too! I'm 49.
