  1. Saddam on RIP: Leonard Zubkoff · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Stiffed the World

  2. Yeah Democracy works on Spielberg on Privacy, Minority Report · · Score: 0

    Only if you can go along with the tyranny of numbers. Successful politicians know this cos they know how to do the vote-gaining number-crunching equations better than your computer. If PRIVACY is an issue for you I suggest you chill out and de-intensify your territorial instincts. Lots of stuff out there that can give you a chemical buzz without too many side-effects.

  3. The Golden Rule (modified) on David Bowie on Music, Copyrights, Distribution · · Score: 0

    "He who has the Gold MAKES THE RULES FOR THOSE WHO AINT GOT ANY GOLD AT ALL" Sony has GOLD, Bill Gates has GOLD but he aint gonna share code (OR GOLD) with any loosers who come here to read /. The best things in life are FREE and in Bill Gates case he stole stuff according to Eric Raymond. I guess the best things in life are free even if you HAVE TO STEAL THEM from some poor sod who doesn't realise he has created something VALUABLE...some poor sod who has no GOLD AT ALL. Now that FREE DISTRIBUTION of music is the flavour of the month I say go 4it cos not many people (in terms of world population) own a computer or can even afford BROADBAND. Which raises the subject of CAPITALISM. There is no SHORTAGE of GOLD, or FOSSIL FUELS. CAPITALISM simply *CREATES* an articficial scarcity, either with warfare or the Coporate Application of the GOLDEN RULE. Right now the Telcos have *created* BANDWIDTH (artificial) SCARCITY with unlit optical fibre, known as DARK FIBRE NETWORKS...Conspiracy by Default? or THE GOLDEN RULE of CAPITALISM? Ask Bill Gates.

  4. a corporation IS a person on David Bowie on Music, Copyrights, Distribution · · Score: 0

    If only a fictional character. A corporation is a LEGAL FICTION or FICTION of LAW...therefore has rights & responsibilties as a composite (non-corporeal)body EQUAL UNDER THE LAW to a single flesh & blood PERSON. It results in INEQUALITY though especially when CONSUMER NEEDS are not met or when a number of consumers, or even 1 single consumer is disadvantaged by BAD CORPORATE PRACTICES. Copyright abuse in my view has engendered EVIL CORPORATIONS such as Sony is trying to be. But David Bowie KNOWS that GOOD will ALWAYS PREVAIL OVER EVIL...it wont happen overnight...it MAY take 10 years...but it WILL HAPPEN

  5. Re:Ha on The Myth of the Lone Inventor · · Score: 0

    Not only horsefeathers...but the very term "intellectual property" is Bullshit unless you can sucessfully sell your invention for a one-off inflated payment to a Corporation. Most innovative blokes prefer 2B wankers than sell their soul down the river. At least techno-wankers get their jollies outta a quasi auto-eroticism which happens in the privacy of their own keyboards.

  6. Re:Darwinism on How to Own the Internet In Your Spare Time · · Score: 0

    hi there Hi There. I dont think I have left Governments and Corporations out of the SURVIVAL equation. The ligitimate function of Government is to protect its population...its individual citizens. The problem emerges with CORPORATION$ and the Law-Making process. Corporations are a regional, national or international FICTION of LAW...registered under the Companies and Commerce Act as LEGAL FICTIONS. Distortions occur when Governments infringe upon Human Rights and when Corporations act against CONSUMER INTERESTS. Lots of folks with Outlook Express are being shat on by Billy Gates. SKRIP KIDD3s simply bring it to our attention & I salute them for that. The "appropiate parties" you refer to are *fiction characters* acting as bully-boys protected by a LEGAL FICTION. Again, IMHO, fictional characters need no protection because they aint flesh & blood people. I myself personally (tortology acccepted) aint a fictional character cos if ya thump me I will bruise and if ya cut me I will bleed regardless of the National Economy.

  7. Re:Darwinism on How to Own the Internet In Your Spare Time · · Score: 0

    DARWINISM is a dogmatic belief in SURVIVAL. Owning the Net brings responsibilities of OWNERSHIP. Bill Gate$' $URVIVAL IN$TINCT$ guide him to OWNER$HIP of the NET. Linus Torvald has survival instincts too. Both Linus and Bill are on record as having said that there would be no purpose of them ever meeting in person cos they are at opposite ends of the spectrum. What both of them fail to recognize IMHO is that their reluctance to face it off with each other is the ESSSENCE of DARWINISM. Therefore IMHO survival of BOTH SPECIES will PREVAIL. Casualties (or examples of Non-$urvival) will continue somewhere around the middle of the spectrum

  8. Re:BUT not only *TRUST*??? on How to Own the Internet In Your Spare Time · · Score: 0

    BETRAYAL of TRU$T brings reactive behaviour which contrast$ with unqualified & unconditional TRU$T. Which to my way of thinking is NAIVITY. The evil sods in human society, by default, engender the NEED for TRUST to be actioned by those who are more polarized towards GOOD rather than EVIL. Think of your own personal situations where someone you have loved & *trusted* has betrayed you. Then you can understand why LAWS need to be enacted to protect the NAIVE because it is the innocent folk who benefit most from ORDER rather than CHAOS. The capitalistic system has now extracted every last $ out of the silly buggers that trusted Microsoft as the best thing since sliced bread. Therefore malicious script kiddies have an emotional investment in CHAOS cos when you are destitute you have nothing else to LOO$E...as a result of BETRAYAL of *TRUST*

  9. 2 Tits and a Cunt on RIP: Stephen Jay Gould · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    In the Holy Bible (the Jewish book of *creative* history) Jehovah put Adam to sleep in Chapter 2 of Genesis in order to *create* Eve outta Adams rib. Jehovah took pity on Adam cos he was alone in the Garden of Eden whilst all the other creatures had mates of the opposite sex. When Adam woke up he feasted his eyes upon Eve who was perfectly formed and he didn't give a toss about her not having a navel. Remembering back to my own wet dream fantasies I would have preferred 3 nipples on 2 breasts than a nice rounded belly with no navel...but that's only me...i just like my wimmin to be born of other wimmin than *PERFECTLY* created by God. Any other younger geeks feel the same way as me on this subject? Cheers from www.bellybuttonland.com

    I was nearly the first to make a comment. Love ya church girl.

  11. Bastards, try Gooogling it on Worst Buy · · Score: 1

    Do a Google search. Type in Best Buy Ate my Balls. Best Buy actually threatened him in his guestbook. This poor guy has been seriously stressed out & BALLESS since 1997 and Anglefire have taken down his homepage but ya can still get it off Google. Or try typing the url in on the WAYBACK machine...Cheers GeriatricGeek

  12. Best Buy Ate my Balls on Worst Buy · · Score: 1

    Dont complain until you've been disabled by this testicular bad experience involving a digital camera. This poor sod has been making a worldwide search for his balls since 1997 AD. http://www.angelfire.com/il/AteMyBalls/bestbuy.htm l
