    I'll buy that when I can press charges against the library for distributing porn to a minor. This isn't about First Amendment free speech. There isn't a law that says you can force me to pay for public library in order to provide you with material to get your jerk on.

    Actually this is a highly accurate explanation of the problem with his ideas.

    Far be it from me to say someone so much more educated than I is a complete idiot that doesn't understand no one WANTS to stop using operating systems because they are what PAYS for the technology.

    Yes, even Linux is supported because people are willing to pay for the server space and bandwidth. These people, and universities, are getting something out of their association with Linux.

  5. Re:NASA on NASA Wasting Time and Money on Moon Landing Doubters · · Score: 2

    I'd imagine you could shoot 50 or 60 of them out of a rocket, find them with the lasar, and at least ONE would be on the moon's surface unharmed. Then you'd just say you only put one there with a person and here are the coordinates.

    Of course, the 50 or 60 would get lost in the miles of dust covering the moon's surface that we all know is REALLY there, disproving the clean smooth surface NASA faked.

    Talk to us again once they get to censoring everything Hollywood puts out for sexual content and violence.


    That'd be the point. See, the same people that are preventing you from watching DVDs on linux because you might steal them are preventing THEM from buying copies of "The Green Mile" with all the 'damns' changed to 'darns'.

    The London Bridge has fallen down several times. I believe twice by fire, and once by poor contruction. The phrase, however, comes from people selling BROOKLYN bridge in scams to gullible BUSINESSES with forged documents proving their ownership. The idea was to trick the greedy business into thinking they could charge tolls if they had documents proving they bought the bridge.

    That was my point, you have the right to question the government, you have the right to ASK questions. You don't have the right to ask questions using information that you obtained illegally, and asking that question is illegally revealing that information to others.

    The government also has the right not to answer. Perhaps I'm mistaken, I read that as "media demanding information" not as "media voicing dissent."

  20. The word is treason on Want Freedom? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    the media shouldn't be allowed to question the government in times of war

    I don't know of anyone that thinks the government should be required to be entirely truthful about ongoing operations in times of war. If a reporter discovers classified information and shares it, it is not a matter of the first amendment. It is a matter of treason, as if they'd discovered documents and sold them directly to a foreign power.

    Just because you belong to the press corps doesn't make you above the law.

  24. The LIST on Politicians Seek Spam Loophole · · Score: 2
    But the broader point remains. When a political candidate sends a voter an e-mail, that recipient can choose to delete the message without opening it, unsubscribe from the list, read it or even reply and engage the sender. That choice should belong to the voter -- not to anti-spam advocates whose efforts are better focused on commercial e-mail. Political candidates should be free to communicate with voters as best they can, and let voters decide what to do with that information.


    It's like they believe spam lists are some big list hanging in the supermarket window that you can walk by and cross your email address off of. Are they honestly so clueless they think people that subscribed are the ones that are complaining? If people subscribe to spam, it isn't spam, it's a mailing list and even if it accidentally gets red flagged, you can white flag it with any decent filtering software.

    And that isn't even covering the you can delete it without opening it ignorance. Look up POP3 sometime. Maybe people don't want to pay your connection costs to access their email. Some people pay alot, even voters to access their email from hotel phones, wireless PDA services, overseas phone lines. Excellent way to anger consituents.
