  1. Re:Buggars! on Assange Loses Latest Round In Extradition Fight · · Score: 0

    you really think the fight would be this hard for just asking some questions?

  2. Re:Pepper-spraying sitting protesters on Police Using YouTube To Tell Their Own Stories · · Score: 1

    the are public servants with extraordinary powers that are constantly abused by bad actors in their ranks. The more transparent the better.

  3. when riaa lobbyist manipulate the laws on Listen to the RIAA's Appeal In Jammie Thomas Case · · Score: 1

    they can get what ever they want. You never hear about abuses like hollywood accounting needing to be fixed and if anything the actual music and movie makers and US Taxpayers are being hugely cheated from it.

  4. Re:Pepper-spraying sitting protesters on Police Using YouTube To Tell Their Own Stories · · Score: 3, Interesting

    police officers should have to wear personal recorders that stream their actions to the police station. This video should be available to the public on request.

  5. did not buy diablo 3 on Diablo 3 Banhammer Dropped Just Before RMAH Goes Live · · Score: 3, Insightful

    the more I hear about it the more I am glad I didn't. Sounds boring and a constant money grab / drm crap fest.

  6. government should be working to make books cheap on Patent Granted on Mandatory Digital Keys to Prevent Textbook Piracy · · Score: 1

    a highly educated workforce trumps any short term profits greed book makers can make. The fact that many subjects like Calculus have not changed in a very long time should make them at cost for printing the material. If book makers are not willing to do this then maybe the government should, it is in the countries interest.

  7. I know of Carnegie Mellon, Carnegie Hall, etc on History Will Revere Bill Gates and Forget Steve Jobs, Says Author · · Score: 3, Interesting

    But I also know that andrew carnegie was a jerk. And I expect that is how gates will also be remembered. You cannot buy your way into heaven.

  8. Re:12.5% Corporate tax? on Taxes Lead Angry Birds Maker Rovio To Consider Move To Ireland · · Score: 1

    It is not in a businesses interest to create jobs. It is in a businesses interest to get corporate welfare and unfortunately they can get it easily under the guise of creating jobs.

  9. just like mainframes on Researcher: Interdependencies Could Lead To Cloud 'Meltdowns' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think it is funny that lessons learned years ago with mainframes are being presented as new by just changing the word mainframe to cloud.

  10. so regular CDNs are failing in the marketplace on Netflix and Google Make Land Grab On Edge of Internet · · Score: 1

    that is all this is really saying. If they were making their Customers happy and standing up for their interests like net neutrality then they would not be moving to protect their businesses.

  11. Re:And people wonder why the US holds it so tightl on UN To Debate Taxing Internet Data · · Score: 1

    The US is no longer the bastion of freedom it was.

  12. hollywood accounting is stealing on FBI Used FedEx To Sneak Dotcom's Hard Drives Out of NZ · · Score: 1

    I look forward to the quick action of the US government to put an end to it.

  13. Re:What about Comcast? on Netflix Launches Its Own Content Delivery Network · · Score: 1

    that does not make sense to me. If Netflix puts their hardware close to the Customer and is willing to peer for free then it is arbitrary (ie greedy) that comcast would count that on their data cap.

  14. Re:Division of labor and specialization on Netflix Launches Its Own Content Delivery Network · · Score: 1

    it is about control of their destiny. If they outsource they don't really control the outcome.

  15. Re:Developers, developers, developers on Steam For Linux Will Launch In 2012 · · Score: 1

    after watching how ea treats their Customers for years and years on a sucker buys games on origin.

  16. problem with a business lock-in business model on DirecTV CEO Scoffs At Competition From Apple TV · · Score: 1

    is that people will dump it the first chance they get.

  17. hollywood accounting is stealing on Hollywood Agent Ari Emanuel Wants a Magic 'Stop Piracy' Button · · Score: 1

    why didn't ari comment on how he thinks that should get stopped?

  18. I look forward to the localization movement on Microsoft's Office 365 For Government Heralds New Google Fight · · Score: 1

    right after all the money is made moving everyone to mainframes ... uh, I mean the cloud, I expect we will see a new movement to move everything back to local environments. Everyone totally remembers all the problems with mainframes, right?

  19. Re:If my work inbox is any indication... on What Would a Post-Email World Look Like? · · Score: 1

    something that I use every single day and effectively communicate with dozens of people is not broken.

  20. hollywood account is stealing on Cost of Pre-Screening All YouTube Content: US$37 Billion · · Score: 1

    where is the big push to enact laws to stop it? And it is not just stealing from people like directors and writers, it is stealing directly from US Taxpayers.

  21. this is why it is stupid to spend on military R&am on Iran Reverse Engineers Cobra Attack Helicopter · · Score: 1

    everyone will just copy whatever is developed.

  22. developers, developers, developers on Free Desktop Software Development Dead In Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    guess that mindset is gone.

  23. Re:Fairly well known issue on New Music Boss, Worse Than Old Music Boss · · Score: 3, Informative

    your example is the music industries reactionary response to itunes and the rest of the online music migration? There are lots of services that are not just more of the same from the big music companies where the artist gets a fair share like http://bandcamp.com/

  24. Re:How does it taste? on Kim Dotcom Demands Access To Seized Property To Defend Himself · · Score: 1

    actually his crime looks more to be trying to start a music service that would compete with the riaa approved ones.

  25. Re:I fucked up !! on Axis, Yahoo's New Browser · · Score: 1

    maybe he's CmdrTaco's older brother
