  1. Re:MS hate on Microsoft's SkyDrive Drops Silverlight · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Actually, there is no hate.

    It's more of a Ha-Ha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX7wtNOkuHo to the developers that dared to try to make $ on a MS technology.

    Almost every company that has worked with MS has gotten stabbed in the back.

  2. Re:I think we just have it labelled wrong here on Linus' Other Gift to the World · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I thought it was RMS, too.

    That being the case, Linus' real "other gift" is providing proof to the world that RMS' idea was valid and possible.

    And this is why you should not allow Newspapers to own TV stations/networks to own production monopolies to own Congress and vice-versa.

    But what do you expect from a Corporatocracy?

    SGU's "cylons" come out in Season 2.

    They were known as "drones" and "command ships"

    Why bother for hardware moving around.
    He's waiting for a way to take an actor's face and voice from the old movies and somehow use them to make new movies, *convincingly*.
    Just capture the gestures from unknown, easily replaced actors that are paid peanuts and voila: big budget look and feel without paying the talent.

  6. Re:Prohibition on US Senate Committee Passes PROTECT IP Act · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It worked so well for drugs they decided to try it on personal freedom that you now get groped and you can't say shit.

    This goes after online communications.

    Soon they will be tapping every phone and steaming open every letter and parcel.

    Congress: do as we say, not as we do (via FISA, HS, TSA, etc)

  13. Re:Clever on The Chemical-Free Chemistry Kit · · Score: 1

    It should be banned anyhow.
    It it is every revealed that chemicals exists in homes the government will have to be called in to clean them out.

    Just because they are useful doesn't mean they are safe.

  14. Meanwhile the FBI... on FBI Says Wire Fraud Scam Sending Millions To China · · Score: 1

    Meanwhile the FBI spends more time chasing after pot heads, their dealers (because it's illegal and all), people that copy music and movies, and spy on US citizen because the FISA act says they can.

    Chinese people scamming people here? Those 2 over there take care of it but one's on training to learn Chinese and the other is on maternity leave.

    Who says a member has to want to sue or not.

  16. Re:Fake DMCA = illegal, right? on Dropbox Attempts To Kill Open Source Project · · Score: 2

    According to an anonymous comment on the blog:

    The perjury provision (17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3)(A)(vi)) applies to persons who submit formal complaints to service providers. It does not apply to informational messages that service providers may send to their users. So even if DropBox had intentionally lied about receiving a DMCA takedown notice (which it didnâ(TM)t; see Arashâ(TM)s comment noting that the DMCA message was mistakenly autogenerated in response to banning the file), it would still not implicate the DMCA perjury provision.

    IOW: If you can get ISPs to be your puppets to send "kind" emails to their users, nobody is at fault regardless of the damages done by the emails.

    DMCA: Best draconian law you can buy!

  17. Re:GOOG isnt so sure anymore on Google Announces WebM Community Cross Licensing · · Score: 1

    What about the trolls at MPEG-LA?
    Their "Raison d'Ãtre" is to make $ by suing.

    Can you actually see MS or Apple telling MPEG-LA to back-off?

  25. Re:My fox is on fire (on windows?) on IE9 Released, Media Has Opinions · · Score: 1

    If you are running Windows, wait 3-6 months for bugs to be worked out and you should install it. Even if you don't use it, C:\WINDOWS\system32\mshtml.dll gets updated with IE 9.

    If you run QuickBooks, Nero or a .Net App, you are using IE.
    Don't believe me: remove your account's rights to C:\WINDOWS\system32\mshtml.dll and TRY to launch QuickBooks or Nero.
