  1. Re:Anbody want to on Oregon Senator Stops Internet Censorship Bill · · Score: 1

    Agreed, but lets not forget that the Senate was meant to represent states rights/interests - as defined by the rest of the Constitution - by the states electing two members of the state legislature to represent them in the federal government. The people were supposed to be represented only by the House.

  2. Facebook and Content Blocking on Facebook Messaging Blocks Links · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I don't engage in gross copyright infringement, nor do I share links that condone such behavior. That being said, I do offer legitimate torrents via Demonoid (legitetorrents is a crappy tracker). If I were to share a link to my legally shared content and I was blocked, or I couldn't share links to sites like Jamendo or ClearBits, I would very much be up in arms over this. Since I do not use FB messaging, I cannot say if such services are blocked.

    The article is right, though. If FB wants to seriously become a player in the online messaging world, this content blocking garbage must stop.

    The fillibuster is an essential mechanism in Congress to keep the government gridlocked. That's a much better scenario than a government that's free to do as it pleases.

    guess that makes sense.

    I never claimed anyone had to be programmer, just curious as to how you're supposed to build from source. I didn't realize the "source" distribution included a perl file, amongst other things. Just shows I'm unfamiliar with the package.

    Is this an acceleration or computing speed measurement?

    I'm not interested in Fedora, nor was I previously aware of how sqlninja was created.

    Not everyone is a programmer, but you don't need to be to run commands like "make".

    well that works too. (:

  14. Re:Because it's impossible to install from sources on Fedora Project Drops SQLNinja 'Hacker' Tool · · Score: 0

    so how are you supposed to install from source? If it's GPL'd, the license forces the source to be made available. I guess that doesn't include a makefile? If that's the case, that's retarded.

    I guess someone doesn't realize just what sort of despicable garbage we in the U.S. have to defend (as someone mentioned earlier, protesting funerals) just so garbage like what is happening to this guy doesn't happen here (not saying our judicial system is perfect, far from it), but with Free Speech protections, it's a lot harder for the prosecution to win.

  18. Re:Google on TV Tropes Self-Censoring Under Google Pressure · · Score: 1

    Actually no, I'm not a socialist but I wouldn't mind doing away with laws that in essence force companies to look away from true customer service if it doesn't serve the bottom line. There is nothing wrong with taking care of your investors, but if that becomes you're driving force at the company (which is the case in 99.9999% of companies that trade stock on the market) then quality and customer service take a nose dive. I have no problems with companies making money. I have a problem with sticking it to the consumer as those same companies do make money.

    I can say I've never fallen victim to any of these scams. I find them always to either be too good to be true, or they use so much incorrect grammar and spelling that it can't possibly be legit, though the one you quoted would at least have me in thought for a while.
