When you commit a crime, and get caught, you are sentenced to serve time, and be locked away. Nowhere in the law books does it say that you are sentenced to be locked away with a rapist.
In fact, there are actually laws against this! You may not assault a person in custody, you may not rape anyone ever, and you may not inflict cruel and unusual punishment. Prison is supposed to be unpleasant, thats correct. But it is not supposed to be abusive.
I really hope you get sent to prison for a few days sometime in your life, to see how it feels.
Conservatives elect a "compassionate conservative" and then complain when liberals are compassionate? wtf? Conservatives seem to be compassionate only towards themselves...
Bumblebee Man isn't Brazilian, though I guess the equivalent of him would be Chaves. I don't know if they would recognize it as a caricature of US views of Mexican children's programming or not.
It's not an imagined caricature; actually it's a parody of a real mexican show.
From http://www.newspringfield.com/info/trivia/ "The Bumble Bee character was inspired by the Mexican comedy series Chesperito. That show had a man dressed in a bee outfit talking in comical Spanish phrases"
I saw an episode in Brazil and found that when everybody else laughed, I didn't and when I laughed everyone looked at me like I was crazy. I realized that they were laughing at the cartoon aspects of the show (say, Bart doing something on his skateboard) while I was laughing at references to US culture
Did anyone else notice several (3) typos in the complaint?

Contrary to what capitalists would have you believe about art, more costly != better. Art includes movies, music, drawings, interactive theater, and video games (which are a combination of many forms of art).
The only thing money does to art is to make it shinier and flashier. It does not make it "better," unless you're part of the breed (:cough: american idol:cough:) that is fascinated by and gives high regard to shiney, flashy things.
There's nothing wrong with enjoying shiney, flashy video games (or any other form of art). But you can't discount the entire future of art because the current popular trend leans toward the more expensive shiney, flashy art.
As a previous poster noted; there will always be your nth version of Doom, with more colors and pixels than you can dream of. But there will also, always be the next Tetris.
I didn't rtfa, but I assume it involves lots of goat blood and circles drawn in sand made from the crushed bones of P2P felons. Oh yeah, and Hilary Rosen has to rub her ass in the bone sand, too.
You're a fucking retard who likes to impose his chosen belief system on others, blindly believing that YOUR religion and beliefs are better than those of the billions of non-christians on this planet. Basically, you're a relic. A useless intolerant judgemental fuck who does not understand god's love. You blame your hate on your god, and you ignore his love and his word. Heaven will be a lot hotter than you expected if you do not accept other people's choices with love in your heart.
Except that white blood cells don't usually cause lots of damage themselves. Even a "white-hat" worm causes lots of traffic and can thus bring down networks and make innocent people pay for lots of wasted bandwidth.
Ever have a fever? A fever is your immune system's response to disease; it's trying to burn out the virus. It stresses your body, tires you out, makes you feel miserable; but it gets the job done.
Any network trafic caused by a white-hat anti-virus virus would be worth it, imho.
Mephesto: It's thanks to the wonders of genetic engineering that soon there will be an end to hunger, disease, pollution, even war. I have created things that will change the world for the better. For instance, here is a monkey with four asses. 4-Assed Monkey: [grumble]. Kyle: How does that make the world better? Mephesto: And here, of course, is my four assed ostrich. And my four assed mongoose. Stan: Do you have anything besides just animals with four asses? Mephesto: Oh, uh, I suppose so uh. Oh yes, over here. Here I have rats splice with ducks, and gorillas spliced with mosquitos, and here I have rabbits spliced with fish to make little bunnyfish. Cartman: Heyyy, these bunny ears are tied on with little strings. Mephesto: And over here, swiss cheese spliced with chalk, and a beard.
Hey loser- you may think it is funny to joke about shooting babies, but outside of your close-knit circle of pasty white, pear shaped, stinky nerd friends, that is not funny and it's rather offensive.
Someone should have killed this guy when he was a baby...
FYI, in case google wises up, this is what it looked like:
SCO Execs Dumping Stock Slashdot-17 hours ago By Jeff Heard. Lindon, UT - The SCO Group announced the launch of a campaign to shoot 1% of all babies born in the US. Statistically...
Nope. Read the interview with the US Attorney a while back. The "under penalty of perjury" part of the DMCA notifications only applies to claiming to be the author or agent of the allegedly infringed work. It does not apply to whether or not the file in question actually contains the infringed work.
By that logic, anyone could claim literally anything was infringing on their work, without any proof at all.
So what happens? Who bears the burden of proof? The accuser or the accused? I hope it's the accuser, since otherwise the accused could be smothered in an avalanche of completely unfounded claims (I accuse that you put a poem that I wrote in the source code of every program you've ever worked on). Do you have to go through the source, or does a judge, or do I?
Can the recipient sue them for electronic harassment? They've obviously set up a computer program to search FTP servers and harass people automatically. I thought you needed to have some valid proof before you officially threaten legal action with a letter from a lawyer.
If someone names a file ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQSTUVWXYZ.exe, then can any company complain that you're storing their IP in that file, simply because it contains some letters that can be arranged to spell out their copyrihted term? Is there even a copyright on PacMan.exe?
It may feel cool when the police call you a sophisticated hacker now. But as soon as you enter the courtroom, you're gonna have a hard time convincing the judge and jury that you're just some kid who stumbled across the wrong ftp:// address one evening during a pr0n r0mp.
All machines had the same password hard-wired into the code. And in some instances, it was set at 1111, a number laughably easy to hack, Rubin said.
How do you hack it? The number 1111?
Seriously, I can't figure it out. No matter what I try (DoS, social engineering, beating it with a stapler), I can't seem to change that number so that instead it reads llll.
I'd have to be pretty sure that my going on a one way trip to mars would really help out humanity more than if I stayed around and instead dedicated my life to a more tried-and-true cause, such as providing aid to poor countries in need.
I believe there's nothing we'd find on mars that we couldn't find with unmanned missions.
It's similar to why I haven't joined the armed forces here in America. If I'm going to put my life on the line, I'd better be damned sure that it's for a noble and just cause. I am not so sure that the current administration has the right idea, and I could never work wholeheartedly to something in which I don't believe.
The fact that RedHat has to wait for months to get a possible injunction, while SCO & Co keep pumping their stocks and FUD - well.. this is a direct indictment on the way the justice system works(?) in the US.
Well, the Securities and Exchange Commission needs to get involved. An SEC investigation would cast a little FUD right back at SCO, though it would be much more truthful than the crap SCO's spreading around.
The problem with this is that it is very difficult to get people back. This is why it makes sense to have a one-way manned mission. It would be a very worthy trade-off to lose a few lives to gain more information about Mars. Unfortunately, American culture is such that this type of mission is not acceptable, no matter what the cost-benefit is.
If you're American, why don't you volunteer?
If you're foreign, and just blasting America, why don't you get your country to develop a space program and send your own kids on a suicide mission?
SCO's using lawsuits as a business threat? "this may include copyright violation charges!" It feels oddly like mccarthyism, or the salem witch trials, where any skeptics was accused of the crime themselves.
Is it worth buying two cheap-o power supplies that cost less combined than an expensive one so you have a spare?
Would you rather buy a pair of $40 PSU's, have one crash 12 months in, lose all your data due to faulty power to the hard drive, then install your backup (which will likely crash also, as it's in the same system)? Or would you rather spend $120 on a quality PSU, not lose your data, and probably never burn out?
I think a bit of money is worth it because over two years, the extra $40 will hurt you a lot less than losing all your data would.
Ok, our stock markets are filled with lies, greed, and wild speculation. Let's fix that before we apply the same model to something that could take us to war!
"The new approach is to set up, as it were, a `market' in two kinds of futures contracts -- one pays $1 if an attack takes place; the other pays $1 if there is no attack, DARPA said."
I mean, holy shit dude! Rich guys putting bets on whether we'll go to war, then working behind the scenes to make sure it happens, so they get some profit! Christ, every day, I don't understand why I still live here.

Well maybe here's a reason...
