  1. Re:Why I don't like Free Republic on Free Republic v. Aldridge · · Score: 1

    Hrm -- well, I haven't seen it. But of course that doesn't mean it's not there. I will say that conservative americans tend to get pretty peeved at the french -- I think there's a feeling that the french suffer from 'lack of gratitude' for WWI, WWII, etc. Especially since the Socialists are such a major force in france -- I think there's a feeling (that I don't necessarily agree with) that the French are 'resting on our laurels,' so to speak. But if it really bugs you, well, don't tell 'em you're french. At least, don't till After they agree with you. The thing about free republic is that it's the most interactive site I've seen. *Anyone* can post articles, and, well, *anyone* generally does.

  2. yah, good call. on Free Republic v. Aldridge · · Score: 1

    Free Republic probably has close on to as many posters as Slashdot does. Just like the only unifying factor here is that people tend to like computers, the only unifying factor there is people tend to lean to the right. Which means you get all kinds. Some religious hard cases. A *lot* of libertarians. Some anarchists. Some anarcho-capitalists. Some lockians. Some fundamentalists.
    would you like people judging /. by just one thread picked to look especially bad? Thought so.

  3. You misunderstand free speech. on Free Republic v. Aldridge · · Score: 1

    The right to free speech doesn't include the right to walk into someone else's house and plaster the walls with pictures of someone's distended rear. People who moderate and run forums have every right to kick out people they don't like, and I'm cool with pretty much any way they devise to do it, including ways involving judges. It's their pad, not mine.

  4. Mark Twain agreed with this guy. on Appeals Court Rejects Copyright Extension Challenge · · Score: 1

    To all those who think this guy is trolling, I should point out that Mark Twain agreed with him. Copyrights SHOULD be permanent -- was mark twain a troll too? Here's a speech Mark Twain gave to congress on the matter: http://www.lightlink.com/bbm/twain.html

  5. Re:Forget P2P! Fabber = Von Neumann machine!!! on Just Slightly Ahead of Our Time · · Score: 1

    well, that presumes your fabber is open-ended, not a container. otherwise, your second fabber would have to fit entirely inside your first, etc. of course, you could probably use the smaller fabbers for smaller parts, etc.

  6. Ya know, what this really means on Just Slightly Ahead of Our Time · · Score: 1

    This isn't about the end of the war on drugs. Far before that, it will mean the end of the war on guns. Guns use maybe two-three materials, max (metal and stock.) The don't need to be all that precisely machined. Ammunition, well, that's a separate issue. . but I have a feeling that once this hits, people will be making full-auto firearms just to go plop tin cans in the backyard. This means the end of All item control. .not just drugs, but anything. Never heard better. ----------------- http://www.AnotherPundit.com
