  1. Communist over Capitalist on Yahoo Rejects Anti-Censorship Proposal · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is proof that communist power > capitalist power. Simply for the fact that US corporations always have to yield to money. The moment money can't fix a problem, they are stuck. Will google and yahoo be able to ever bribe the communist party enough? I doubt it. I feel bad for the Chinese citizens who are censored in the middle of all this.

    Well doing 9 to 5 for your entire life for some corporation because some real estate agent capitalized on you..... do beat doing 8 to 12 for the communist party. I honestly believe US want to set the stage to target China after Iraq.

    Sony:Can't wait.

    It is absolutely true that 40,000 people die in traffic accidents. But these are
    a) accidents
    b) not food products sold in a supermarket.

  7. Re:Informed, hopefully on Censorship is Changing the Face of the Internet · · Score: 1

    It's delayed-censored or trimmed down significantly to make it seem minor. First off we report maybe 1 out of every 50,000 animal abuse cases. Your answer will be, oh we can't report all of them. We should have a section dedicated in major news sites just for it everyday. This stuff is censored to protect our capitalist beef/pork/chicken food companies.

    What's released into the public is often private journalism taken on by someone and released into the internet. Youtube should be the last place I expect this stuff, unfortunately it is often the first. What gets reported in major news sites is often way late.

  8. Re:Informed, hopefully on Censorship is Changing the Face of the Internet · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    US censorship is very different. Be sure there are political stuff censored. But it is done under the notion that we can "trust" the government's judgement. We bitch about it, but we know we can't sue the government.

    The stuff that gets REALLY censored is the animal abuse in slaughterhouses, the toxicity of water supplies by water plant companies, radioactive waste leaking into soil. This is the stuff that is much harder to come by, cause they cause so much controversy.

    Nobody said Windows was a bad desktop. It certainly has a great interface. It's just a bad OS. The difference is drawn there.

    I found out Faye Wong sang that Final Fantasy 8 song. After hearing that, I wasn't sure I wanted anymore US music afterwards. In fact I'll admit I was quite curious about what's on the "other side".

  11. Re:Hear, hear! on Online Reputation Is Hard To Do · · Score: 1

    If a government censored something, it is not going into any text. There is a serious problem with only accepting referenced materials. Which basically means, you are only accepting censored materials.

  15. Re:Cry me a river. on British Record Companies Win £41m In Damages · · Score: 1

    .... this is all a conspiracy to regain the money lost since Michael Jackson bought all the rights to the Beatles songs. Damn record companies gotta pick on somebody, HK is a really easy target with deep pockets.

    The part that blows my mind is that the article "ensures British music has a bright future". How is that possible. Will singers automatically make better music? Hell no. But the execs just bought their 8th porsche.

  16. Re:Video link on New Jersey Sues YouTube Over Crash Video · · Score: 2, Funny

    According to the complaint, the offending video has been viewed 19,833 times on YouTube, 189,037 times on LiveLeak.com and 6,933 times on break.com as of May 21. Less than 24 hours later, on May 22, the videos had been viewed 24,346 times, 213,295 times and 16,812 times, respectively. Well I guess by creating this lawsuit, the video will now be unofficially available all across the web and increase the views to 1,194,345,431,456,345,223 times.

    People are looking to making the quick $$$. The market doesn't have any real competitors anymore. It's so sad to see capitalism reach this point really. What if youtube did not get bought out, and it had a 2nd or 3rd product. It leaves you wondering.

  18. Re:I agree on What is the Best Console Controller of All Time? · · Score: 1

    The best of all time is by far the 6-button sega genesis controller. It was BUILT for fighting games with an unbelievable button spacing design and toughness. Even the current PS2 controller which I find to be good, has the x and o too far apart. With the exception of the Wii, all other controllers are overrated.

    If they took all software and computer related patents out into a "separate" system, they will be fine. The existing system is clearly not flexible enough to deal with todays technology.

    You are taking the same easy route as the Bush administration by labeling "ALL" people who immigrate to the U.S as worse than Bloods and Crips. You need to think on a regional if not individual level.

    This unemployment thing is important. I don't want to leave my job to know that I am ineligible because some gang forced the government to piss billions of dollars on some no-work database.

    I don't know about disk backups but I honestly believe tape backup is a fraud past 1TB. 90% of the backup companies don't have any legit instructions for recovery. After that you have to go thru so many tapes by the time you do recover, your business is done.

    I think wikipedia has absolutely blew away every existing encyclopedias ever existed out there. I really hate the idea of oversourcing, as some subjects are so blatantly obvious to even bother referencing. I appreciate all articles but there comes a point when it is obvious the root of all problem is "Vandalism"!!!

    Someone pull the plug on IP editing. They should be required to setup with a legit email and at least a 3 day wait. Users who trash articles with BS comments should have their account deleted right away and make them start over.

    It looks nothing like what I would expect as a transformers fan. The robots don't looks smooth and have way too much wire. They don't look like bots from any of the TF generations. This is going to be a disappointment like godzilla. Hollywood directors don't understand that toys/videogames/anime cult concept. It never had. Look at movies like double dragon, mortal kombat annihilation, street fighter urghhh........ Why is there even an autobot logo. This movie is so far off from any of the animations. Why bother calling it transformers.
