Ha. It was I who was referring to "fuckpuppets" and I meant not our fellow slashdotters, but the RIAA who impose such ludicrous and blatantly false "anti-piracy" trailers on us all.
Luckily for you, I do not have mod points today.
And then the utter fuckpuppets go on to say:
"Buying pirated DVDs is stealing."
This really gets my goat. Buying pirated DVDs is buying pirated DVDs. Stealing pirated DVDs would be stealing.
Cnuts.
Isn't it weird how news channels in the USA translate "Zionist Criminals" as "Israel"?
Luckily for all of us, people in the rest of the world are able to distinguish between a government and a population.
I do work in the movie industry, and I think the studios will be MUCH better off with the BT distribution.
Here's my estimated cost and profit comparision. Sorry for the dodgy layout and utter lack of punctuation Slashdot keeps rejecting my nice layout with the old Lameness filter. Lameassed lameass filter.

Slashdot Mirror
A snot-rag is surely a handkerchief rather than child?
Even if they do get to the point of turning out something "weapons grade", they won't actually be using it.
They're not that stupid.
so when the Iranians get nukes and the Israelis vaporize them in self-defense
...
What, like the 'merkins vaporized the Iraqis in "self defence"?
Gah
Ha. Just wait until you have to shell out £199 for a new PSU. £299 if you want ot keep the old one...
FFS. That is fully NSFW.

Indeedy. When your country is run by gangsters, you can't expect justice.

I believe they may still be considering the actions the USA took against them in the 1930s and 40s. Bon chance.
90% of the content is illegal? Pffftt! torrent files aren't illegal surely? Just like gun manuals aren't illegal?
You only get the better features in Smoothwall if you pay for the corporate version.
You could try IPCop instead, a fork of smoothwall.
I use IPCop instead of pfsense for some installations as it has support for the Bewan PCI ADSL modem.
Leave them alone. They're not trying to make a move on you.
"market can bare" hehe
You're a towel.
They'd train the dogs to detect only pirated DVDs.
Exactly. They're jokers.
They should just do like we've been asking for years, and make DVDs (and CDs) £4.99 a pop.
