  1. Re: Don't Ask Don't Tell Should Have Kicked In on Compiling the WikiLeaks Fallout · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Dont ask dont tell is sound?
    Really?

    Idiot.

    Wars of Aggression are war crimes.

  3. Re:A rose by any other name on UK Law Body Targets RIAA-Style Settlement Letters · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Mainly this is lawyers not acting under direction from a client. Which is entirely against the rules that lawyers are supposed to operate under.

    Fingers crossed ACS Law will also get rapped, as they were doing the same using "assets" from DL

    1) They were no longer in his house. So "tough shit" doesnt really apply, does it?

    2) Because "we" already have, and found him guilty of using UNREASONABLE force.

    Do you understand the difference between shooting someone wwho is an immediate, palpable threat to you (which they werent) and shooting someone who is running directly away from you? If you dont then you are a sociopath.

    I really doubt that he would have recieved a "pat on teh back" for shooting people runnning away from you.

  5. Re:All the wrong reason on UK Games Retailers Threaten Boycott of Steam Games · · Score: 1

    Um, why is it pointless? Or are you assuming only USians play steam?

    Idiot.

  6. Re:you know.. im all for.... on Proposed ADA Requirements May Affect Public Internet Use · · Score: 1

    Except you get a larger pool by allowing everyone in, which is why nonsmoking bars didnt work.

    Or do you assume all bar owners were idiots for the last 40+ years of antismoking calls?

  7. Re:you know.. im all for.... on Proposed ADA Requirements May Affect Public Internet Use · · Score: 1

    Except if EVERYONE allows smokers, there is no place for the nonsmokers to go.

    Which was the situation in the UK before the smoking ban. Not a single pub or club banned smoking prior to the ban, so where do you go if you dont want to smell like an ashtray?

    Sorry, if you want to give yourself cancer, smoke outside, let everyone else actually enjoy the place.

    I dont like in the US, so the DMCA is entirely irrelevant.

  9. Re:Not sure that is fair. on Telstra Violating the GPL? · · Score: 1

    Given it is part of due dilligence YES they should have done.

    Either it is negligence on their part of deliberate violation. Ignorance of the requirements is, however, NO defence in this matter.

  10. Re:Not sure that is fair. on Telstra Violating the GPL? · · Score: 1

    You're trying to say they didnt perform due dilligence and so shouldnt be liable for their negligence?

  11. Re:Just because they have branded it on Telstra Violating the GPL? · · Score: 1

    So if you dont perform due dilligence (yes, this applies when buying items to resell) you shoudl somehow not be responsible for the products you sell, claiming ignorance that was entirely avoidable?

  12. Re:describing a family is family unfriendly? on TV Tropes Self-Censoring Under Google Pressure · · Score: 1

    Your "basically" is false.

    Which tends to lead to a false conclusion. Not that you shoudl need telling of course...

    Your definition of "family" is also way off.. 0 /10 for accuracy.

  13. Re:Ahmurkuns 'n Ruhpublicuns on TV Tropes Self-Censoring Under Google Pressure · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, it really wasnt.

    Irrational fear of people who dont stick their dicks where you like to, and atempting to enforce and justify this irrational fear, deserves being knocked back very forcefully.

    Sadly belief in an imaginary being is only deemed "insanity" when it isnt a recognised imaginary sky friend.

  14. Re:Free Video Cameras? on UK Pressures the US To Takedown Extremist Videos · · Score: 1

    That would be "had the nerve to shoot the person who was fleeing his property, in the back"

    That isnt reasonable self defnce. Also 19yr olds arent normally called "kids"

  15. Re:The government is not our father. on UK Pressures the US To Takedown Extremist Videos · · Score: 2, Informative

    Without the rallies he would not have had the support to see the orders carried out.

    N'burg rallies etc are well documented as providing the populist mandate.

  16. Re:Apple is indeed shooting itself in the foot. on VLC Developer Takes a Stand Against DRM Enforcement · · Score: 1

    Um no, thats the law.

    If you sell something you, as the trader, have responsibilities. Failure to exercise due dilligence is negligence.

  17. Re:Apple is indeed shooting itself in the foot. on VLC Developer Takes a Stand Against DRM Enforcement · · Score: 1

    SO they didnt review the application, which contravenes their own rules?

    No, they misrepresented the application by publishing it on the app store.

    "get a clue" from someone who mentioned "took their word for it"

    Classic.

    Nothing stops Apple from restricting application installs in future versions of OSX. Nothing.

    Do you not have any form of Unfair contract terms acts in the US, or anything at all consumer protection wise? What about fraud statutes?

  20. Re:How about "education"? on Aussie Kids Foil Finger Scanner With Gummi Bears · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In that case the system has failed to meet the stated requirements: ensuring attendance.

    UK schools dont rely on this, they rely on teachers actually recognising who they are teaching. Simple method, requires a bit of brainpower from the teacher though.

  21. Re:Holy war on First Pictures of the (Fake?) PlayStation Phone · · Score: 1

    For instance no background tasks unless approved by MS is moronic.

    Having a twitter app on your home page that doesnt actually update until you launch = waste of space.

  22. Re:Good for us Sellers on Amazon Prevails In State Sales Tax Dispute, Thus Far · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Agreed. One of the more bizarre laws the US has that seems certain to incite continual negaitve feelings towards a government you can never participate in.

    Utterly stupid

    Agreed. Essentially legalised slavery (you have no choice in working) meaning the US can "compete" with China on various items, such as military uniforms.

    Horrific idea really.

    Or, knowing that the police have a history of overreaching their authority, perhaps it is just a sing that she is interested in protecting herself?

    Your bias is telling here.
