    >Some people are so one-sided, makes me sick.

    bit like you then, completely ignoring privacy issues.

  2. Re:Keeping Up With Technology on DVD-Watching Driver Charged with Murder · · Score: 1

    also, I have control of my DVD player. I do not (unfortunately) have control of pretty women on the street.

  3. Re:Is French a big language? on CeCILL: La Licence Francaise Du Logiciel Libre · · Score: 1

    that's fine, if you want your open source project to be distributed binary only, with modifications or source not available anywhere. that's not the GPL.

  4. Re:Abstention? on Dutch Parliament Reverses Software Patent Vote · · Score: 2, Informative

    there were 2 motions. the motion to abstain (by PvdA, dutch labour party) made it, the motion to completely reverse the decision (done by SP, the socialist party) was turned down.

  5. Re:Its a dangerous precedent on Dutch Parliament Reverses Software Patent Vote · · Score: 1

    they had time, but the first decision turned out to be based on false information, delivered by minister Brinkhorst. it was decided to look at the case again, based on correct information

    they didn't call it satan. NATO did.

  8. Re:Kids these days. on Supreme Court Rules Against Anti-Porn Law · · Score: 1

    actually... yes. interest in sexuality is quite normal for a child entering puberty. better they see some porn than go about their wedding night saying things like "Oh, what does this button do?"

  9. Re:Your Prius - your neighbor's Land Cruiser on EPA Fuel Economy Myth: Too High, Too Low? · · Score: 2, Informative

    not only are SUVs more dangerous to other drivers, they are a LOT more dangerouss to pedestrians and cyclists. normal cars are designed to minimize damage caused to a person. an SUV is not.

    it's called Wateremu

    or at least, it is for me, with FireSomething extension

  11. Re:Underlying assumption still wrong on The March Towards Micropayments · · Score: 1

    let's face it: people already pay a fee for access to websites. it's just that the fee is payed to the provider, like I pay the library fee. so access is already paid. add to that the fact that even more revenue is earned by the overabundance of marketing on the web, and it's clear that publishers should ask money from ISPs, not consumers. the consumers have already paid to access content.

  12. Re:For those of you about to defend this... on Reverse Graffiti · · Score: 1

    > Popups and commercials pay for the material you're viewing. In that way, they've 'earned' their right to be there.

    in the old days, sugarcane was harvested by slaves. in that way, they keep the costs low, which justifies the existence of slavery.

    some things are unwanted, even if they do offer a monetary reward. so I make sure that in my realm, there is no slavery or popups (which I consider to be theft of bandwidth and attention)

    every language?

    your definition of every seems to be flawed.

  16. Re:The Guy Who Delivers Your Paper Already Knows on Turning Up The Heat On On-Line Registration · · Score: 1

    it's not about delivery, so the info isn't needed. the newspaper has everything they need to show me what I want, and it's automagically supplied by the browser. mainly what's needed is the IP address. I see the same offline: people don't put their name on store loyalty cards, or enter a fake name.

    online registration is the same as a store loyalty card, and by law, companies are required to give you the card even without any personal info.

  19. Re:There is a fundamental problem with email on Russia, China World's Biggest Spammers · · Score: 2, Informative

    it's not about individuals we dont want to hear. it's about artificial entities we dont want to hear. people merely want what they also have in the offline world: commercial messages should be regulated. ads on tv are regulated. ads in newspapers are regulated. bulk snailmail is regulated.

    be aware that commercial messages by companies do not fall under freedom of speech (or at least not in my country. freedom of speech is only for people.)

  20. Re:Licence was only the last straw on Mandrakelinux Goes X.org · · Score: 1

    open source means someone else can easily pick up support. not so with closed source which usually doesn't allow maintenance or development of the source code.

    >Child porn is universally wrong. Show me an upside.

    is it universally wrong? consider: 2 15 yr olds having sex, and using appropriate protection. this is legal in many (most?) countries. now these kids record it with their webcam, and put the result on the net.

    there are no victims here, it's not universally wrong. but it IS childporn.

    >When you buy the camera, what are you paying for? The advertised set of features.

    no, I also buy it for other features, advertised or not. in order to be able to make a good choice, it's necessary that all features are known. the manufacturer should have no say in the features that are known, that's needed consumer information.

    it's not about best product. it's not about best price. it's only about making the most money.
