  2. Great cowboy. on iPod: This Season's Must-Have for Muggers · · Score: 1

    Pity in most parts of the civilized world that is not allowed.

  3. Burning bridges: so what? on Fighting the Forced Ranking of Employees? · · Score: 1

    Hernan Cortez, the conqueror of the Aztec Empire, burned all his ships to ensure nobody could be tempted to abandon the enterprise and return to Cuba.

    As they say , the rest is history.

    Sometimes it is indispensable to burn bridges, the world is small, but it is not that small.

  4. So much rubiish in so few paragraphs! on PIRATE Act Introduced in Congress · · Score: 1

    -There is not such thing as "social evolution". People that mix evolution and social sciences understand neither.

    -More efficent this, more efficent that. Define efficent in terms of a society.

    -"Strong flourish, weak fail" : same pseudo evolutionism applied in a field in which it does not apply.

    -"About corporate power? We can do nothing." Oh yes, as people did not do anything about kingdosm (French Revolution), Nation States (I will not elaborate, it would be ludicrous not to assume enybody moderately educated can come with his own examples).

    Regarding corporations there are many things we can do if we don't like the status quo, the most important is become active in matters one is passionate about.

    Stop delegating, start assuming responsibilities. The immense political apathy is the greatest indictment about how much we could do but how little we are prepared to do it.

  5. Who modded this insightful? on PIRATE Act Introduced in Congress · · Score: 1

    Patriotic fluff...

    If you are consuming a product or service you are a consumer, this is completely independent of your status in regards to the country you mention.

  6. Moralist patronizing bullshit. on WTO Wants USA to Gamble Online · · Score: 1

    I have gambled, many times.

    Guess what, I spent 20 or 30 bucks a night and had a great deal of fun. Like going to the theatre, the movies or any other kind of entertainment.

    Just because you think you could not handle it does not mean all the rest of the world is so completely hopeless to handle adulthood responsibly.

    Your medieval views in gambling are frankly laughable.

  7. My hope in humanity yet again dimished on WTO Wants USA to Gamble Online · · Score: 1

    "Lust is bad not because it's abusive to the body. The body is something that can be healed with modern technology. Lust is bed because it wears away the ability for people do decide not to be lustful."

  8. Really kemosabee? on What Would The World Be Like Without Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    Honestly, the logic sense of some people is non existent.

    Of course it can happen, but ut is less likely to happen, which is the frigging point of having a code in the first frigging place.

    Frigging. What a nice word.

  9. Tollificus! on DOJ Calls EU Microsoft Decision "Unfortunate" · · Score: 1

    Good rant!.

    I will not point the obvious (why the US would comply with WTO rulings, as it has done in the past), but just congratulate you for an sterling work of missing all the points at once.

  10. Why is Samba required? on DOJ Calls EU Microsoft Decision "Unfortunate" · · Score: 1

    What is stopping the OSS world for creating a new protocol to share disks and or directories, or using an open one, create a client and a server for Windows as well as for any OS required (i.e LINUX, Solaris, MacOS or whatever it is called)?

    It baffles me the well intentioned stubborness of the Samba team. Why to dance at the tune of MS if we could make our own music?

  11. 2 pieces of spam? You are clearly joking. on Yahoo and Hotmail Filter Flaw · · Score: 1

    I signed with Yahoo in 1996, from no spam at all I am now receiving 100+ messages a day.

    The irritating thing is that at least 5 or 6 make it to my Inbox that could have been clearly filtered.

    Also false positives are common, so I am forced to check the last page of spam for legit messages before removing the full lot.

    Very dissapointing, specially since early adopters like me, that got a yahoo.com address have to pay for POP3 access (the people sying you don't have to are clearly uninformed). WIth POP3 I would take care of spam myself.

  12. Is not people like you that worries me. on Yahoo and Hotmail Filter Flaw · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Since obviosuly you have half a clue about what you are doing.

    For the people that have got not a clue, the recommendation of the poster preceding your post is timely and accurate.

    Otherwise you just look silly.

  17. Not again. on Microsoft To Be Fined E500M By European Union? · · Score: 1

    In which way, language, pictoral expresion, monogram, do we need to explain to people like you, obvisouly with weak powers of logical reasoning, that once a company achieves monopolic position in a market the rules that apply to it are different?

    It does not matter if the people are willing (as many obviosuly are) to give anything to this company in order to be infected by the latest worm or virus, and pay heftly for the benefit (junkies). No, what matter are this company practices, which are not only immoral but have been found to be illegal.

    What to they need to do in order for people like you stop defending them?

    Despair, frankly, despair....

    Unadulterated anty OSS zealotry at its worst.

  23. Sigh. on Microsoft and EU Talks End · · Score: 1

    It is obvious even to the most blithering idiot that the rules that apply in a normal competitive market do not apply in a monopolized one.

    The actions that are kosher for Apple or Linux distributors are not necessarily so for MS.

    The car analogy is so idiotic that I don't understand why blithering idiots keep using it.

  24. Really? on Microsoft and EU Talks End · · Score: 1

    So is it better to be hostage to a single company that dictates prices and terms and conditions of service as they see fit?

    Somehow you asked the correct question:

    "But is anti-trust law really good for most people in the long run?"

    And then you got the wrong answer, in spite of reasoning close to the real issues.

    If millions of costumers are benefitted by lower prices and the price to pay is the livelihood of a few thousends of people in the IT industry, then the cost-benefit balance is on favour of curbing the monopoly without the shadow of a doubt.

    In industries and services where a monopoly is allowed to dominate, it is a well known fact that innovation is replaced by bureaucracy, prices spiral upwards and customer service suffer.

    The coziness of a few geeks is not worth preserving if the price to pay is to keep the industralized world hostage of a few unescrupulous companies.
