  1. Re:Hrm on DVD-Audio's CPPM Circumvented · · Score: 1

    You should have just gone straight to Nazi Germany and lost the argument.

    But, there is something you don't know about me... *I* am not left-handed!

    Fine, I'll do your homework for you:

    When someone reminds you that you forgot to cite your research, just say thank you. Pithy, eh?

  2. Re:Hrm on DVD-Audio's CPPM Circumvented · · Score: 1

    So where exactly is it stated that fair use means having a perfect digital reproduction of the copyrighted material you own?

    Nowhere is it stated what type of copy you are allowed to make. It just states you are allowed to make a copy for backup/archival purposes. Now, unless this is Soviet Uzbekistan, that implies by default an identical copy, regardless of whether there was such thing as binary media when the law itself was invented.

    It has already been ruled that fair use does mean getting an entire, digital copy of media.

    Making such a statement without a reference is really reaching.

    Go ahead and record the audio coming out of a DVD-Audio, there's nothing in the encryption that can stop that.

    In the end, you are correct. One bitwise copy of an analog capture can be the parent of perfect bitwise duplication. If that's the worst case, why bother with encryption at all?

    If you're going to be stupid enough to sign an already-credited/non-anonymous post, shouldn't you at least make the signature match the username or else be something entirely different?

    As an (yes, American) OCD nerd who appreciates order, why would one place the US first and then strive to put the rest in perfect order?

    Just an observation.

    Kelvin is capitalized to differentiate it from kilo.

  10. paying for piracy on Software Piracy Seen as Normal · · Score: 1

    I was a little thrown by the apparent willingness of people to pay for pirated copies of it.

    Mom and pop, yeah. But when people who know what's going down start throwing around money, they're not paying for the copies. They're paying for the labor. They could spend their time tracking it down and testing it and burning it. They just don't feel like it.

    Wrong.

    "The cat lost its teeth." is the only correct way to write it. "The cat lost it's teeth." is completely wrong and no English teacher will tell you otherwise. That would mean "The cat lost it is teeth."

    Yes. Google does, in fact.

    The cache for the page, Linked here, has a link to the executable. The link still works. Get it while it's hot.

    In fact, I think every person that makes a google utility should make an executable version for this very reason. It would save you bandwidth, it would save me loading time. Release it GPL and someone can make a multi-utility. Sounds great. Get to it, programmers!

  19. Re:Einstein's brain was flawed, too... on Study Links Genetic Diseases to Intelligence · · Score: 1

    A genetic variation does not necessarily constitute a "defect." Are blue eyes a defect? Generally, the term defect is used when there is some kind of significant pathological consequence.

    An entire common portion of one of his most vital organs was missing. If you were congenitally missing an eye, and your other eye could see in the dark to compensate, it would be a positive result, but also a genetic defect.

    You're the 5th guy I've seen so far (probably missed a few too) who was too stupid to understand an otherwise perfectly legible sentence because of something as trivial as a misplaced apostrophe.

    Understood it just fine. Are you too stupid to realize that?

    And modded up no less!

    Because by and large, the intelligent people here are rewarded for their intelligence by being modded up. Eventually they get moderator powers. If the people modding are by and large intelligent, and they mod up a post that jokingly poitns out a stupid mistake, then you are most likely not intelligent if you disagree. But there are always exceptions.

    but please, spare me the grammar nazis!

    This is a written medium. To intelligent people, stupid mistakes are like holding a conversation with a retard. Painfully annoying. Some day, when you're intelligent, you'll understand.

    It's petty

    If nothing was done that was petty, very few things would be accomplished.

    considering how a lot of the grammar nazis make plenty of error themselves, it's also hypocritical.

    They are raked over the coals. How is that hypocritical?

    Yawn.
