  1. Sure. Me too.

    Then try do something else. Like open iexplore.exe and browse to a webpage.

  2. Have I been coming off as pro-corporation here?

  3. Hiding evidence of a crime does not mean that no crime was committed.

    They should probably hire some friends to work with him, so that somebody doesn't shoot him while his hands are busy doing computer stuff.

    Maybe I'm not familiar enough with their procedures but it seems ridiculous to me that a forensic expert would be doing any of his work in a location that has not been secured.

  5. "the illegal act is the dishonest or bad faith contract."

    Yet it's not illegal to write such a contract if you never try to get anybody to sign it.

    It "is" illegal to write your holocaust denying manifesto, no mater what.

    It's bullshit to say that they have too much information, too many leads, and them getting a stranglehold on the internet will only make the situation worse?

    I don't care about this individual.

    The government agencies apparently don't either.

    They want more and more information and they're doing fuck-all with the information they have. ...Which elaborates on the semblance of a point I was not really making in my first post.

  8. That escalated quickly.

    And yeah. Fraud isn't fraud if it's not fraud.

    The illegal act is the harm or attempted harm caused by the fraud, not the words used.

    Holocaust Denial laws make the speech itself illegal.

    And sure, it's a sliding scale with lots of gray areas. Taking somebody shit through deception should be illegal, whether you use words or not. The specific words used should not be illegal.

    Also, if Somalia is not my paradise do I have standing to sue you for fraud?

  9. I'm the bank account inspector. I need your account and passwords to check them for financial lice.

    I have committed no crime. You didn't believe me. No harm was caused. Free speech.

    The Holocaust never happened.

    I have committed a crime. No free speech. I should probably stay out of Europe for a while.

  10. Ignore the names.

    A democratic republic is not a democracy, and the People's Republic is not a republic.

    I'm not terribly invested in it and mostly wanted to make a clever quip that absolutely nobody but myself would appreciate, but democracies and republics are specific things.

  11. "Banning one, very specific, type of speech does not mean "there is no free speech"."

    Well, to be pedantic, that's exactly what it means.

    The list of allowed speech may be quite extensive, but it is no longer free speech.

  12. "And while democracy has it's flaws, every other system is even worse."

    Even a republic?

    How many people do they have 20 separate reports for?

    How many little old ladies are calling in these reports daily on everybody that isn't blonde-haired and blue-eyed?

    How many leads do they have to follow up on from their ever expanding stranglehold on the internet?

    How many more will slip through as they get even more false leads from tightening that strangehold?

    My understanding is that if they "don't" make a Spiderman movie often enough, the rights will revert to Marvel.

    So every few years they dust it off, release some crap that's guaranteed to pay for the movie and a few years of hookers 'n blow, and shelve it until the best-before date again.

    No real care given to the character, just making sure they don't lose control of him.

    No, it didn't.

    The "Avenger's - Civil War" Spiderman is getting a dedicated movie soon.

    Unless you meant the Spiderman reboot before that, and not the reboot before that reboot.

    They should really number these things.

    "Spiderman Universe 3 Movie 2"

    I'm personally staying out of it all until SU4M7E13P2.

    I hear Uncle Ben dies in that one.

    Are you having a stroke?

  22. Since it was announced (has it been over a year now?) I have learned exactly two things about Discovery.

    1. The cast will be diverse. Before there was a director, scriptwriter, idea, anything, this was established. The cast will be diverse.

    2. It will live or die or CBS All-Access.

    Diversity should be one of those quiet aspects of the show. Ideally, it's never brought up at all. It just "is" diverse, and everybody accepts it because it flows seamlessly and isn't forced. That is not the case with Discovery.

    As for the CBS thing, well, a moment of silence in advance for this doomed Trek-like show.

    So maybe they didn't match up 100% of accounts.

    Do you think the number of accounts they didn't match up is much more than a rounding error?

  24. Sure, when they say that they can't do something that they can easily do, know that it can be easily done, and then do it easily.

  25. I have no stake in the racial makeup of the cast, but I still have no clue what the show's about.

    From day one, all I've heard about this show is that they were looking to check all the appropriate diversity boxes. Long before they had a premise, director, scriptwriter, etc, they were damn sure it was going to be about a certain mix of races and genders.

    And that's really still all I know about the show.
