No, your stupidity didn't make me think at all. Nor did i even bother to read the rest of the post.
There is a difference in what i said and the obscene garbage you spewed, and the fact you cant figure that out means the rest of what you had to say was not worth my ( or anyone else's ) time.
So what? If you can't take people calling you on it, take it out of your sig. Freedom of speech is a two way street. If you're going to have it in there, people are going to call you out.
No, i said it was OT to discuss here.. There is this thing called a journal on slashdot that would be the correct place to discuss something of a OT nature like this. Another failure, idiot.
1 - its OT here. 2 - It was designed to make people think about how relative all these labels are and how we judge people. If the south had won he'd be considered a war hero. He's no different then Washington was to the british during the war of independence. Or if you want a more modern angle, use Osama with the radical muslim. They lost, so he's a terrorist. If they won, he'd be herald as hero.
3 - you failed the test related to #2. Have a nice day.
You don't seem to understand the percentages, and how the big picture works.
Let me try to help:.0001% of your hardcore customers find a way around your DRM and you lose a few cents at most.. While the actual paying customers are locked in to their changes and continue to feed the beast that makes it harder to get around and buys more laws.
They really don't care if a few hardcore tech types get around it. Really they don't, since you end up viewing ads in the process anyway and STILL make them money..
Doesn't currently apply at the border, which was recently expanded. Don't agree? ( i don't either, just for the record ) the only choice is to get the Supreme court to take the case and rule officially. Until then, federal 'orders' still apply.
Separate out your personal work on an encrypted VM and let them pay for the machine. Be sure there is no fine print and you don't have to turn it in, or repay any of the funds if you leave employment.
Last i heard WE the people do, paid for by our taxes. Now they want to tell 'government employees' ( ie, tax paying citizens ) what they can and cant do with it? ( forgetting the fact the are totally out in left field about being illegal just for a moment.... )
Now, I'm going to go off and download some free music at a "band site" that gives away their stuff and lives off donations and show revenue. Come arrest me, idiots.
Dont ever forget the FCC is part of the federal government, and can not be trusted to do what is in best interest of the people. If they do this, there is an angle we arent seeing.
Slashdot Mirror
Aren't all governments afraid of their citizens by definition?
True, there isnt one big red button, but a few well placed calls/demands with backbone providers would serve the same purpose to most of us citizens.
Also, id argue that the president already had these powers, during a state of emergency.
Often are the best.
And they 'clicked here'
Figures that they would find the ONE legit free gift out of all the scam.. But then again, if you are scam to the core, you can see one a mile away.
Your sig is moronic, so go ahead and leave it there if that's what you want people to think of you.
Do you think i really care what you personally think of me? If so, you failed the test even more grandly then most.

Hey, you got the meaning.. congrats!

In the end, they win. Hell they already have.
Make it too hard to view the garbage they put out these days and they will just lose more customers.

It depends, some companies specifically allow 'reasonable personal use of computer equipment on breaks'.
I hope you are happy.

Bring back fairness in advertising and unlimited use :)

I am surprised ( and disappointed ) that FreeBSD has a similar inherent limit.
No thanks. Next they will try to put a cup holder in my car.
Will this ever end? When do they bring back ATT and Berkeley to fight again as collateral damage?
While true, the O has been accelerating the process, not helping to slow it down or reverse it.
So you are against capitalism? Sounds like you and O will love the new socialist world he is working towards.
Oracle relies too much on java to give it away. Expect it to be forked, and then closed, with the previous open version left flapping in the wind.
Or something like that.
A sad day.
