  1. Re:Seems like an over generalization... on How DRM Won · · Score: 1

    No, the genesis lacks the power to emulate SNES, nor does it have a method of loading that binary.

    No, your reasoning is silly. H.266 would not be DRM encumbered, just waiting for some to write a player.

    That is a huge difference.

    Because those carts and tapes could not be made compatible.

    Linux has many software players that could handle it. The software could be made in minutes quite likely. This is not a hardware limitation.

    Those were not limitations of DRM.

    Comparing them makes no sense.

  4. Re:EMusic and Bitrot on How DRM Won · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not at all.
    I am just presenting one current option.

    Keep your backups on something like ZFS and odds are it will never matter.

    I personally do not keep collections of media, I own a little bit and do not intend to add to it. I don't tend to watch anything more than once or twice, nor do I want to listen to the same song over and over.

    Many are upset because generally those services only work on OSX and Windows. I don't remember rental stores have DRM that failed to work on other operating systems, what sort of thing were you renting?

    Amazon lets you download the music over and over.

    You can simply download it again if it gets corrupted.

    Sounds like you should hate your home internet not the streaming content.

    That all sounds like you let them access to just what they need over just those circuits or IPs.

    You are not fit to make any judgement as you clearly don't make them.

    That seems like one option, but I still can't figure out why you would even do that.

    Vendors sell you stuff, why do they need to see your network? Can't your employees give the vendor the data they need?

    You asked. If you did not want to know don't ask.

    In this situation the GP clearly meant a boss like that one, since they are pretty common.

    So then you think anything should be fine? That sounds far more simpleton to me. I really do believe their are some absolutes, simply because the alternative is thinking that things like honor killings are acceptable.

    Even if they are distressed, that is not the gay persons problem. I can imagine a lot of things, even painfully stupid things like you are describing. I cannot however accept them as reasonable.

    Actually that culture would be bad. Cultural relativism is stupid.

    Gay marriage does not cause distress to an observer, I have been to one. Everyone seemed pretty happy. I noticed no distress.

    Any human who is distressed when they see gay people has a problem, not the gay people. I don't like peanut butter, in fact I hate it. I simply don't eat it. I do not attempt to prevent others from eating.

    They might be arbitrary, but so is everything. Like it or not I can still call some better than others.

  15. Re:Really?!? on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 1

    I am not supporting forcing them to enter into gay marriages. I am adding an option anyone can have, not limiting marriage to a select few.

    I am doing nothing to them. Unless they are gay, gay marriage does not impact their lives.

    If you really can't see the difference I am afraid I cannot help you.

    Preventing you from raping someone is not oppression. To even compare pro-rape to gay people is pretty fucking horrible.

    Read your own quote.
    Nazism supported the outlawing of strikes by employees and lockouts by employers, because these were regarded as a threat to national unity.

    That sound leftist to you?

    Nazism rejected the Marxist concept of class struggle

    How about that?

    Spin the part they are installed in, before the rocket is assembled. Sure you have to spin one sub assembly, but at least not the whole thing.

    You move the rocket in a known way, as in lift it, then read the outputs.

    Advocating a law designed to oppress a minority is exactly that.

    This is a republic not a direct democracy. For good reason we protect minorities from the oppression of the majority.

    No, not because he has a different opinion, but because he wants to force that opinion on others. If he wants to speak nonsense, but not use the force of law more power to him. If that was his position I would have no problem going to his movies.

    You can't be so dense as to not see that fact.

    I prefer the X/Y axis of left to right and authoritarian to Anarchism. Since you can have Left Libertarianism and Fascism both on the same chart and still make sense.
