  1. Re:What exactly does this software buy you... on Zero-Knowledge Ceases Linux Support · · Score: 1

    O.K, I logged in on this computer especially for you. Now why not answer my original issues, that only the freakishly paranoid would even care about hiding their true identity when online?

    You give an example of wanted to be anonymous when shopping online, and yet the idea is proposturous. I've already pointed out that you can't be anonymous, you have to give details about yourself.

    So as far as I see, only the freaks of this world should ever care about "Zero Knowledge" and their ilk. If you're not doing anything illegal, what would you have to hide?

  2. Re:Only in America on Have the Baby Bells won? · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure I understand your statement that "Capitalism doesn't work"? What other system has brought you widespread entertainment from Film Studios? What other system has brought you the technological advances of computing and computer software? What other system has brought the advances of the modern age to Third World countries?

    I have seen other posters on this website arguing for Libertarianism and even Communism, which indicates to me a young person with misguided ideology. No one in their right mind would advocate something as obhorent as Communism, certainly no one with real world understanding.

    Capatilism certainly does work, and it is the only system that works alongside Christ. No one should be forced to live in a Communist society where Christ and God are ignored for a political ideology by misguided people such as yourself.

  3. This is the way business works, kids on Have the Baby Bells won? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it may come as a surprise to some of the younger readers of this site, but this is the way in which businesses work.

    A businesses sole purpose is to grown and obtain market share, and return the benefits of that growth to the investors and share holders. Businesses should not artificialy restricted through government intervention, to do so is in violation of the US Constitution and highly un-American. It's good to see these "Baby Bells" undoing the mistakes of government intervention.

    We should let these businesses grow naturally. Six individual "Baby Bells" is almost too much choice for the consumer anyway.

  4. Misguided on EFF Releases Public Music License · · Score: 2

    I've been reading this site for a few weeks now, after a freind mentioned it. I've seen plenty of conversations that debated the diference between "Free" and "Free". At first, I thought it was simply misunderstanding on my part as to what these arguments were about, but it is not. I've finally come to the conclusion that the people who argue the destinction between "Free beer" and "Free speech" are simply misguided.

    I am personally for free speech (With sensible restrictions, of course). I'm also not stupid, who would turn down free beer? (In moderation, of course) However many people here seem to equate freedom of speech to simply stealing a persons property, which is an abhorent act! This seems to be why we are now seeing "licencses" such as this, which appears to have the soul purpose of allowing college kids to repackage someone elses hard work, and then defend their theft under the banner of "Free Speech".

    "Freedom to steal" is not in the US Constitution, bear that in mind please.
