Well, I am past the stage of being angered by such evilness. Let them go ahead, it will only make more people aware of the totalitarian tsunami we are experiencing since 911. And hopefully some of them will realize that this machine has to be stopped.
Drop out of the system before the system eats you.
So, can't wait to play Spore:))
Mmmm, I'm skeptical about this one. As a lawyer, why would you do such a thing? You'll make your client and yourself very impopular, anyone could tell that in advance. So, he must have got damn good reasons. My guess is he wants to prove that she gets paid by Bayer (and after reading some articles on her blog, she probably does). I have looked into HPV and the massive lobbying that is going worldwide to install mandatory vaccinations and I have seen how, in this case, Merck, has had blogs put up to promote the idea and has paid bloggers to write about the dangers of HPV and the connection with cancer. So, think twice before crying wolf.
While I was out today, I was probably filmed 20+ times. Not by Google ofcourse but by a multitude of public and private cameras.
So why is Google Street View the problem then? It isn't, it just shows us what it means to live in the 21th century.
Isn't it a bit suspicious that at a moment financial markets (stocks, loans, currency) are having serious problems, a new "virtual" market springs up, the carbon offsets market. Sorry but where there's tons of money involved, I tend to get a bit critical about the "facts" they base their decisions on.
Or one step further, stop delivering the vaccine. Members of the Rockefeller clan have stated in the past that the world population has to be reduced by a couple of billion, so what better way to do it.
Wake up and smell the genetically altered coffee, boys and girls.
"the next level of the dungeon is complete, we'll release it, public domain, when we receive $X in donations"
I don't know about this one, people could end up spending money without ever receiving something, if I donate money but the limit is never reached the content will never be released.
But maybe there is a future for user-supported games, just like there are internetradios that get their funding from listener support (http://www.radioparadise.com/).
Fucktard, my thousands of *good* (not fillers) digital photography.raw needs so much more than just a CD. And i don't want to lose *any*.
My art ain't random numbers filled.
You're right, the DMCA was introduced during the Clinton administration. That's why I proposed you changed your political system, because frankly I don't see many differences between the Dems and the Reps, both are reigned by their sponsors. So in fact, it's the big companies that run the country, not the people.
PS: I live in Belgium and although I like living here, the political situation isn't optimal either. So you probably right to state that I should shut the fuck up, until I fix the situation overhere.
Hey, yanks, please wake up for a moment and fix the shitty state your in.
But first things first:
1) Impeach Bush 2) Roll back the fascict laws, introduced by the Bush Administration (Patriot act, DCMA, and the likes) 3) Change your political system, 2 parties just aint enough, it's like choosing between bad and worse... 4) Read your constitution, it isn't that bad, you should follow it instead of abandon it.
I used to have a similar problem. Because I used to do quite a bit of system building for family/friends/friends-of-friends, I consequently got alot of support calls and felt obliged to take care of "my systems" (I still don't know why). But after some time this became a nightmare, I was getting so much calls that I almost quit answering the phone and was afraid to go into the pub for fear of bumping into a friend with computer problems. I had to do something.
So, I did this: the first time someone contacted me to come by and fix the PC (some of them didn't really ask, they almost demanded it), I said sure, if you drop off the pc at my place, I will check and fix it and you can pick it up next week, so I can fix the pc when I have some spare time.
You know what? Since then (2 years ago) I only fixed 1 pc, because almost all of them don't want to be missing their pc for a whole week, so the go into some shop somewhere and I have my spare time back...
So, we're on Slashdot. But with a story which is probably the biggest troll in/. history.
This has nothing to do with freedom of speech. Mr. Verstrepen didn't follow FCC rules and broke Belgian law and now he gets fined. End of story.
In Belgium we have a law that doesn't allow political parties to have radio and/or television stations. Why? Because we think that you have to be careful when you mix political parties and mass media. Take a look at Italy and Russia if you want to know what I mean.
And don't worry, Mr. Verstrepens and the Vlaams Belangs views and messages are getting through. Some days ago, Mr. Verstrepen told the world that he hates paying parking tickets and really enjoyed almost running over a parking guard.
I'm not going to tell the Vlaams Blok/Vlaams Belangs history here. I was born in a Flemish-nationalist family, so I witnessed the rise of this party and some of it's members closely and I don't like them. Partly because I don't agree with their right-wing ideas, partly because their just plain incompetent. But as a real democrat I do defend their right to organize and speak out, but of course, following our laws.
And/., why did this get posted? If you can't read the original document, which you probably can't because it is in Dutch, don't post it! You stupid ignorant yankee. So, that's off my chest.
So, a sad day for Flanders/Belgium and yet again a/. troll. I really wonder why I still come here.
I was thinking about why the hell they were doing this when I suddenly remembered something. In 1998 when I had my first cell phone, some friend showed me how you could turn a music score into a ringtone. So I found a music score for one of my all time favourite tunes ("Girlfriend In A Coma" by The Smiths, for those interested), turned it into a MIDI-file and converted it with some tool to the format of the Nokia phone. In those days they didn't sell any ringtones, but now ringtone-versions of popular songs mean big money.So I think the MPA-slimes figured out there was a backdoor and they are trying to shut it.
Don't know why they go after lyricssites. Maybe to prevent illegal karaoke-versions... "And next is Kenny with 'Romanian Balcony' by Quinn"
The rights regarding freedom of speech that you are promoting are American law. You can argue all you want that they are universal human rights, but they're not. They're part of American culture and the American legal system
Yep, and the French Revolution never happened...
It still amazes me how egocentric Americans are. They really think they invented hot water.
Slashdot Mirror
How do you Americans put up with paying for RECEIVING textmessages? You don't pay the mailman for the letters he brings to your door, do you?
oh, but wait...
Thanks, I had a great laugh. Don't know what should be the problem. Please, enlighten me.

So you have to opt-out? Great, so once in place, the Austalian Governement will have a list of all people who want to watch porn.
so, tell me, why do you hang around here then?
Well, we all know how they got rid of the Catch-22 back then...

That's like saying: "Let's talk about the teams competing for the upcoming Superbowl. But only about the Patriots, the Redskins and the Cowboys."

None.
I don't beleive in gravity, only in intelligent downward pressure...
Why do you save your pron pics as .raw?
It's dead, I say, DEAD!

Sorry to say but the MPAA is right on this one.

OK, off to jail with you! You just violated "The Movies" copyright...
Just wondering, is that painful?
