Your funny but that probably is what he wants. He wants knowledgeable, accredited comments. Its print, you dont want every joe everyman reposting the same stupid viepoints over and over. I can kind of see it, it wouldnt work though. Accreddited people want to get paid. Go to any online newspaper site and the comments are generally horrible. 50% is just politics, or spinning every story politically, semantics arguments, etc...
"However, after twitter got himself down to karma hell, instead of addressing the reasons for which the community punished him by taking away his karma, he went off and created a little army of sockpuppet accounts, which he uses to actively game the moderation system."
Wow how interesting! Can you go back to emo drama land please? how much could you care about one idiot poster? do you follow around people you hate irl, talking shit about them? are you some kind of highschooler or *shudder* college student...
find out where he lives and k-line his ass or quit bitchin. people you dont like dont deserve to know it till the last possible minute, by then its far too late.
I read slashdot anon a few times a week from various locations. This new "feature" of sensoring all buy +5 comments when not logged in is HIGHLY ANNOYING. one does not always want to login exposing their username and password.
I also hate the stupid new round buttons instead of reply to this text link
They are passing it off as their own. The two issues are not remotely similar. IF someone writes a song and then someone else copys the lyrics and takes credit for it, then that is wrong. P2p music, very few people are passing themselves off as metalica. The huge obvious other difference is that this is an advertisement. If you were making money off someone elses music, ie selling burned cds on a street corner for profit, there is probably not many on slashdot that would support them.
Copyrights tricky. Of course its alot easier to stereotype and misunderstand the issues.
"I haven't had a virus since Blaster. Most of the time I don't even bother running an antivirus program"
How can you be sure of that if you dont run an antivirus program? Im still tricked by the odd torrent or something every 6 months. Not even considering if you have multiple people using the computer, say at a party or other time when your not paying attention to it.
Thats imaginiary though, the piece of wood still exsists and you do not have it. money is just like little contracts, and im not entirely sure it actually exsists outside of computers anymore.
Be happy someone wants to play your game enough to pirate it. And here you have some free publicity as well.
seems like they are doing you a favor. They arent directly profiting, or taking credit for, your creative ideas.
Who says people have a right to profit off of something thats easily shared? You did release the game to the public right. . . Should the poor be denyed a sunrise? Maybe someone will make a kick ass level for your game that makes it a gigantic hit. I guarantee more people have heard of your game now than before you posted this little "hey wait im getting screwed so its no fun anymore!" rant. If youve ever pirated an mp3 you know that this shit is the nature of computers since bbs's. They copy shit. Really well.
This is all assuming you didnt post the torrent yourself to seek imaginary property losses and publicity (which i wouldnt put past someone so selfishly intoned, as you are in your above post).
Nope. I have never read a funny comic by him. CmdrTaco seems to really be a fan. I cant imagine why, xkcd is an immature know it all who thinks obscurity and transposed affinity is the height of comic genius. Its kind of like 'cathy does math jokes', theres no sane reason hes funny except perhaps that they have made a pact with the devil.
"Who really uses isp-provided email these days? it's all webmail,"
Why did your parents take the only email address provided to your "household"? You like having 3rd party american companies in charge of all your sensitive documents and correspondences?
It doesnt matter what good he does. Hes escalating the war on drugs. When you do that, you want control at the expense of sanity. First comes the laws, then comes the prisons, then comes THE USA private contractors.
I like him wanting to arm the north, thats a very good idea.
Maybe if they thought it was there responsibility and not that of a national corporation regulated on the national level, they could offline fl.comcast.net.
The point is you dont know how exactly it will play out, but providing ron paul isnt the polar opposite of how he appears - well hes just the only person who is real.
If you were really canadian, you would want ron paul. No more americans tarriffing our natural resources, legalize drugs and USA out of everywhere. The rest I couldn't care less about.
Are you kidding me? try pulling tracks off an ipod, they are mangled to hell. And acc IS drm. Mp3 is the only way and dont you tell me that apple releases everything on mp3s... quite the opposite.

I never got 4chan either. Some anime group but wired said it had to do with somethung awful so who knows. Probably similar to myspace.

Im sure its payed for by the government, therefor a state sanctioned monopoly. Not very free market there.

As funny and appropriate as that is, you wouldnt want people associating open source gpl code with greedy vigalante developers would you?

shooting the methhead. All methheads should be shot.
the problem is that tasers are not treated liek a leathal weapon and thus are substituted where a normal hadn to hand take down would suffice.
its police state as it makes extreme ultraviolence casual
