  1. So it really is just all about $$$ on Hollywood Sees Illegal Streaming Devices as 'Piracy 3.0' (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2

    Spare me to self-righteous moral talk. As if these big shots really value copyright. What the main dispute is is just money. If there's no money in it, would they really care about such things? So don't twist justice for your own gain. Ultimately, is it really your right? You are merely borrowing rights from others and ultimately in turn, someone is giving things away for free at the top of the source. You brood of vipers.

  2. Privacy issue? on Google Removes "Search Nearby" Function From Updated Google Maps · · Score: 1

    Must be the retards from the don't-look-at-my-house "company".

  3. No BBM for iPhone/Android? on BlackBerry Confirms 4,500 Job Cuts, Warns of $950 Million Loss · · Score: 1

    I take it that means the delayed promised messenger for other platforms is off?

  4. Re:But How to I go back to old Private Browsing wa on Firefox 20 Arrives With Per-Window Private Browsing, New Download Manager · · Score: 1

    I forgot I posted in Anonymous mode...hopefully I get alerts on new messages now.

  5. Re:It's now a free for all for all file fomats! Ye on EU Court Rules APIs, Programming Languages Not Copyrightable · · Score: 1

    Next time, when such copyright proposal failed, let's print out in CAPS the main name of the submitter, so we can all laugh at him/her.

  6. Re:My 2 cents on TSA Defends Pat Down of 4-Year-Old Girl · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The very existence of TSA proves the victory of OSAMA. I'm sorry to say this, but it's true.

  7. I'm sure it's fine. on Sony, Universal and Fox Caught Pirating Through BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Just like a cop watching kiddie porn at the 'evidence room'.

  8. Compare this to the debt resolution on Obama Admin Wants Hackers Charged As Mobsters · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How is printing money from thin air not the same as mobster?

  9. Re:enough with the statistics on Coffee Wards Off Cancer · · Score: 0

    Well, what I think is very scientific about it is every time a statistical claim on cancer 'remedy' is announced, there is no subsequent analysis of the case. But I suppose due to the definition of 'statistics', they aren't treated as badly as those in homeopathy.

  10. enough with the statistics on Coffee Wards Off Cancer · · Score: 0

    Why are all hopes of remedy in cancer stuck on statistics and not actual subsequent scientific medicine?

  11. Re:Any time you need to ask the question... on Is Setting Up an Offshore IT Help Desk Ethical? · · Score: 0

    For everything in the universe, there is a balance.
    Do countries really exist? If not what does patriotism mean? If yes is it unhypocritical to promote world peace?
    When the rich are rich, at what point is that a privilege? and at what point not?
    Greed triumphs over ideal, ideal triumphs over selfishness, selfishness triumphs over pragmatism, pragmatism triumphs over greed.
    In the end, balance will be kept. Either nobody wins, or everyone loses.
    Thus, identify your suffering, stop blaming others.
    So go ahead, it's not only ethical to set up offshore business, it will be unethical not to. So some people will learn from hardship, the sweet labor of life.

    A wise man once said:" remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise he bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony."

    I know the possibilities of how he could be caught, but why isn't it being reported? Did I miss something?

    What I don't understand is how did adolf get caught in the first place?

  14. New revelation on Bruce Schneier vs. the TSA · · Score: 0

    I'm beginning to think this whole homeland security fad is just a way for those supposedly responsible trying to blame the historical faults on others such as the lowly security guards and the old speechless security system. Thus, seemingly making themselves innocent, while everyone else either suffers or become more obtuse:

    Directors: Terrorists? Then go do more searches, buy more scanners, get more guards. Not our faults, don't look at us. More problems, then do more of the above and everyone must wear a tracking device at all times, more problems, sure we'll come up with something, but don't ever blame on us.

  17. Re:Baptizing on Pope's Astronomer Would Love To Baptize an Alien · · Score: 0

    True, however, the question is not who can baptize, but what right is one to baptize?

    Alien: I want to be baptized so I can be one of you...even though I don't need salvation.

  18. Re:It'll make great TV on Pope's Astronomer Would Love To Baptize an Alien · · Score: 0

    Pope: Consolmagno, you are to meet the inquisition tomorrow on how you obtained the right to baptize others.

  20. Re:But what created the law of gravity? on Hawking Picks Physics Over God For Big Bang · · Score: 0

    you missed the point.
    I am talking about what created gravity, how is gravity existing.

    That is the topic of this thread. Go drink some coffee.

    I can probably guess how you're going to respond...so allow me to predict my response to that: It's a coward's world.

  21. Re:But what created the law of gravity? on Hawking Picks Physics Over God For Big Bang · · Score: 0

    funny how many willingly stop at science/nature when tracing up the source, but not willing to stop at God.

  22. Re:No brainer on LucasFilm Sues Jedi Mind Over 'Jedi' · · Score: 0

    This should promote Star Wars even more (I know it's very popular), Lucas must have gone wonka these days.

    own up to your mistake.

    I don't trust anyone who has something to hide.
    However, in the fairness of giving ppl the benefit of a doubt, these will be low on my trust list.
