    You missed the sarcasm.

    No, but you get to drive a remote controlled UAV and drop bombs on a bunch of kids in afghanistan, all from the comfort of your desk.

  3. Re:Too much control on New Copyright Alliance Formed In D.C. · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't think you dispelled anything. I believe you got pwned.

    "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Author and Inventors..."

    What part of this quote says the rights can be transferred away from the author or inventor (to a 3rd party distributor such as a record company for example)? What part of this deals with the simple concept of fair use of media?

    Please look back at your n00bish point 1 and reconsider it.

    Article X: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people"

    The people get the benefit of the doubt. Govt's role stays limited. That is and always was the intent. Now forming laws that effectively allow for the indefinite stay of copyright as it relates to a person's lifetime circumvents the original intent and deserves to go the way of the Dodo. Dodo.

  4. Re:The reason is user attitude on Is Linux Out of Touch With the Average User? · · Score: 1

    No. The real problem is the "blame the user" mentality. It is really comical reading all these quotes that basically rehash arguments that are at least 10 years old.

    Ok, let me recap your point. Oh wait, you have no real point but somehow got modded up.

    Original poster says: Lots of linux names are bad and this is a problem. Look at some of the names in windows world that are better for examples of good names.

    You respond: Wait! You n00b. Lots of names in windows suck0rz 2.

    How about responding to the actual point which is that project naming is a powerful device that can help get people to use applications? It may not be a magic bullet, but what seperates linux distros from windows in useability is in the details. Details that are often poo poo'd by the linux hacker crowd that still seems to have a loud enough voice to keep the "average" user away.

    There was a device in Japan called the love-getty that matches your description.

    How about normalising for production?
