  4. That's to bad on The NFL Wants You To Think These Things Are Illegal · · Score: 1

    I liked the idea that just describing the game to a friend was against the DCMA. That would make so easy to break the law. I could commit a felony almost every week. How Fun?

  5. Re:inflation embiggens numbers on Apple Posts $18B Quarterly Profit, the Highest By Any Company, Ever · · Score: 1

    and also if thats the issue, why are there talks about increasing taxes on gas now that the price has finally dropped to a reasonable level? all they are gonna do is continue to demonize big oil, while taking the money themselves.

    What do you mean reasonable level? The oil companies started the inflationary spiral with thier fake oil shortages. It should cost 30 cents a gallon. Capitolism is a ponzi scheme.

  6. "Default encryption has created a zone of lawlessness" That is the best news I have heard all day. The law exists to keep the common people in line, and the powers that be in power.

  12. Re:How many times done anything helpful? on White House Responds To Petition To Fire Aaron Swartz's Prosecutor · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The ACA was announced and pretended to be in operation before the software was ready: How Obamacare's epic fail exposed our government's biggest tech problem. Whoever is at the top of the U.S. government was obviously completely incompetent. (Often a U.S. president merely pretends to be in charge, hiding what is actually happening, and who is arranging it.)

    The President is very much a figurehead - he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it.
