  1. The goals are *WAY* bigger! on Pirate Party Coming To Canada · · Score: 4, Insightful

    First and foremost, they oppose any kind of censorship and totalitarian government.
    Then comes the goal to move from the imaginary "intellectual property" scheme back to what copyright, authors right and the freedom of ideas once were meant to be.
    They are not for the exploitation of artists. That is what the **AA is for.

    This TFS(ummary) is probably the worst summary of a party program I have ever read.
    Maybe some people are just so used to parties an programs being meaningless because they all belonged to the same industry lobbies anyway, that they do not pay attention to them anymore. :/

    Yes and no. You are absolutely right, that you can just be a con artist, and people will believe when you act confident.
    But what I meant is not, that the people that believe in you are delusional.
    But that you (e.g. Dr. Norton) can be delusional. Meaning that your product is in hard physical reality a piece of shit, but you think it is the best thing since sliced bread. That is a delusion, because it is not reality.

    Of course, because we all learn pretty much everything socially, this then becomes the actual reality for the people that believe in you. At least until they check the physical reality for themselves. (E.g. by actually getting big problems with the product, that you can't overlook anymore.)

  8. Re:Rock and hard place on Symantec Exec Warns Against Relying On Free Antivirus · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I can explain that to you. It's called a delusional dominant reality.

    If you act as if you were the godking of antivirus, you will start to ignore your flaws. If you then are so strong in that belief, that you pull others into it, they will start to ignore them too.
    As you might imagine, this is quite easy with the uninformed masses, who never have seen anything else.
    I mean that "Dr. Norton" with his white doctor coat, his cool name, and all this... He looks so sure of himself. And others have it too. So it must be good. Ever if it is bad there, and there, and there, and there, etc.

    It's the same thing that makes you believe a medical doctor actually had any more competence than a better pharmacist. And him stating "there is no cure" except of "I did not go to a further training for the last three decades, and just don't know a cure, but there might be one, and we still have to find it", does not help it. (This is his delusional dominant reality in action.)

    It is also the thing that can make you good at dating, pickup, etc. (Don't hear to the Mistery method losers and their a million and one imitators. That stuff is outdated for at least a decade now.)

  11. Re:Good on XHTML 2 Cancelled · · Score: 1

    No. I'm saying that we should not teach humans to be ambiguous about what they want. But HTML4 rendering engines allow just that.

    There is an important difference between efficiency (when the computers helps you save work), and simplification (when you do less work, but also get less).

    There is a point to adding that brace here and that thing there. It means something different than leaving it away. And if you know that, you can use it, which will give you more.
    But if the interpreter goes, and interprets them the same, you lose that functionality, and gain nothing. Because you let those stupid lazy slobs overpower your reality.

    Simplification is not the solution. The concept of simplification itself a bad simplification of efficiency. More efficient is what we all really want, when we call for simpler usage, etc.. More easy isn't the whole thing.
    Windows is the best example. The more professional you want to work with it, the harder it gets. You literally often have to think dumber when you use it, to get the problem solved.
    (The oder extreme are things like VI, that are just as bad from the efficiency standpoint, when you do not want to work as professionally.)

    The only ones this "product" (I refuse to call it a lifeform) be "better" for, is "owners" that it will be making money for. ...if that is your definition of "better"...
    Because in the long run, they will be just as fucked from the consequences as we are.
