Remember WHO is doing this to you and don't BUY any more CRAP from them. (Don't know why anybody DID buy their CRAP in the first place, but that's a different conversation...)
Screw the RIAA and now the ISPs too.
When they stop making money, they'll get rid of all these bullshit policies.
How about Facebook paying ME a $100 fee for every time I have to be exposed to some fucking nonsense app, add, or other bullshit I can't get away from. How about Facebook paying me for all my PAIN and SUFFERING for having to even KNOW that FACEBOOK exists in the world.
I would pay $100 bucks though to see Zuckerburg SHOVE the ENTIRE FACEBOOK up his ASS without lubricant.
You know, there IS an alternate method by which an AI could win the Turing test.... when the people judging become dumb enough they can't tell themselves apart from chatbots.

One wonders if this would have covered all of those "Campaign Promises" made by politicians in their zeal to get elected... or any of the other spewage which regularly emanates from their persons...??? If so, this law might have had a useful purpose after all. What would it take to get such a law enacted in Washington D.C.?
Heck, If you have coconuts, all you have to do is wait for a big tropical storm and then use a string of perls to cut through the international telephone cable that will inevitably wash up on the shore. Then you can use jungle vines to place a call for rescue. Of course, none of these skills are of any particular use for patching a three-foot hole in a boat...
I just don't watch the crap. I don't care one iota what movie is coming out or which Hollywood blowhards are "starring" in it. Sometimes I turn on the TV and if there's something on that seems tolerable, I'll watch it. Same for the movies. The MPAA / RIAA and their scorched-earth tactics have completely turned me off to the idea of TV's, Movies, "Records", DVD's-- the whole bit. I haven't bought a Record, CD or DVD in probably 20 years, unless maybe I did it as a gift for someone. I can't recall when the last time I bought a movie was either. In any format. Movie theaters have priced tickets so far into the stratosphere that its just not worth it to go spend the megabucks on tickets, more megabucks on crap food and drinks, just to sit in a theater full of noisy brats to watch the visual equivalent of post nasal drip on the big screen. Which is usually out-of-focus anyway and accompanied by over-amped speakers. What's the fucking use? MPAA / RIAA-- Fuck 'em. Who needs 'em.
Even if the article is entirely correct-- why is it only GUYS who can "connect" with women? Why, say-- just supposing here-- couldn't the WOMEN "connect" with some guys? Its really ridiculous how all these articles and "findings" perpetually paint women as sweetness and light and guys as sex-crazed hormonal maniacs. For every (straight) porn-crazed male, there is a FEMALE busy providing product. They can't ALL be "exploited"-- after all, prostitution is regarded as the "oldest profession". Humanity ain't gonna crumble. It's made it this long and PORN and VIDEO GAMES are just the modern incarnation of the age old desire for sex and entertainment-- same as it ever was.

I think it is idiotic as all hell.
Suppose you do get more email than you can read in a day.
Just fucking ignore it, it'll go away.

Makes sense. Now that Steve's dead, there's nobody around to PAY OFF the patent office.
The theory assumes rational actors at the switch. When you try to apply the rule to guns and rednecks you're missing that 'rational' part.
Territory, wealth and pussy. That pretty much sums it up.
Capitalism is an extremely flawed system. If there were sufficient profit in it, a good capitalist would happily unload his nukes.
Best Buy is the only company who can lay off 650 of its technical support staff and have its IT competence remain exactly the same.
Buzz off.
Buzz word. Buzz saw. Buzz kill.
Yes, that's true. So tell me about your Mom?

Absolutely. Way to go Comcast.
Nah, that's just a vagina with hare.
Yes, that exactly.
Personally, I use the Start button and the Start Menu all the time. And I kind of like having it.
"The other choice is just to throw up our hands and say, 'Let's just go on as usual and see what happens."
We're doomed. Congress won't even be able to agree upon whether or not to throw up one hand or both...
How to Find a Roaming Black Hole...
Look in the Red Dwarf District.
At the Safeway on the other end of the island.

And a piano.

Perhaps with a bit of lemon and butter?
