    Are you suggesting that capacitive touch devices are migratory?

    Awesome! We did the same thing when my daughter was born. The picture was lousy, but it was really fun.

    That place is gone, now. It was one of the last Drive-Ins in SoCal. Now we've moved back east, and I don't think there's one in the state.

    Yeah, not at all. MSNBC is left-leaning, but it is not so clearly linked to the Democratic party as FOX is to the GOP. There really is no comparison there at all.

  5. Re:The Qu'ran itself contains hate speech on Rackspace Shuts Down Quran-Burning Church's Sites · · Score: 1
    I don't see any thing that would be defined as hate speech in the entry that you cited.

    There were certainly some passages that were critical of some Jews, but I don't think that most reasonable people would consider it to be hate speech.

    As to how it compares to what was on the website of this moron, I'm not an expert, and concur with other sentiments here, that we should let him go off and fuck his goats, or whatever he likes to do, and be done with him.

    In the WIki article you cited, I did see this:

    'Some verses of the Qur'an, notably [Qur'an 2:256], preach tolerance towards members of the Jewish faith...Jews are regarded as members of a legitimate community of believers in God, "people of the Book", and therefore legally entitled to sufferance.'

    Now don't get me wrong, religious dogma is generally a series of lies bound together by evil men to encourage evil, and the three Abrahamic religions all share a history that could only be accurately described as evil incarnate, but the bit that you cite just diesn't seem to support it, I don't think.

    Sorry to self reply, but when I posted, nobody had modded the parent as funny yet (which it is, perhaps the funniest of the year). Now they have, and I get a -1 off topic. Not fair, but I guess that's the way of the world.

  21. Re:Perversion of the law's intent on AU Band Men At Work Owes Royalties On 'Kookaburra' · · Score: 1

    There is a difference between a recording of a work and the work itself though.
    If I recorded the song, I wouldn't get royalties from it *(actually, I might get performance royalties, depending on collective bargaining agreements between complicated jurisdictions. But they are frighteningly small).
    I _could_ make money from selling the CD, but I would have to pay the copyright holder his/her cut.I would continue to do so until copyrights ended (25 years in this hypothetical case).
    After that, re-recording is just like making a record of Bach's music; nobody gets much in the way of royalties, just performance, wich is tiny, and more akin to residuals.
    So the original creator doesn't get to reset the copyright by simply re-recording.

    *As an example, I just got a check from the AFM (Musician's Union) for _performance_ royalties because a song I played on is in RockBand II.

  23. Re:Why so discriminating? on Google To Add Pay To Cover a Tax For Gays · · Score: 1
    Most of the smoking bans that I am familiar with involve workplace environments, which are held to a slightly different standard than simple public places.

    So, a business owner who allows smoking is subjecting his/her employees to carcinogens at potentially very high concentrations.

    I can see that there is a distinction there. Not sure I support smoking bans, necessarily, but it's a hell of a lot nicer to go to a bar that doesn't allow smoking. Even though I smoke.
