  1. Re:I live in Slovakia on Newspaper Articles Not Copyrightable In Slovakia · · Score: 1

    That's why you have to organise and donate to the politicians first. Keep track of how much was donated and use that info as amo in case the US Media lobsters start to pay them off OR you could gather all the politicians and threaten them with mob and pitchforks.

  2. Re:Taking a cue from on Data Hogs: the Monsters Carriers Created · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Nothing wrong with overselling and many companies can do it right but when your greed doesn't want you to reinvest the profits into the system its just easier to point the finger at those who use what they paid for and call them hogs. As a consumer I don't give a flying fuck that I'm causing your system issues when I use what I paid for. I'm not a charity...

    >But assuming it's true, who's at fault?

    Oh its the Internet users. Its always the 1% that are the hogs and the poor Internet providers must provide data caps to make their oversold lines work for the rest.

    Cry me a fucking river. Maybe just maybe don't sell your packages when you now your network wont handle them.

    Back in Poland in the early 1980's my mom and me used to run between building if we were out past curfew and saw the ZOMO in the area. So yah run and stop using public transport or any transport that TSA can inspect. Enough people do it i'll eventually collapse from no money.

    >... Dress sharply at all times, and keep a business-like posture and demeanour. Playing bully with a peon is safe enough, but harassing an (apparently) wealthy and influent person is a career-destroying move. You don't mess with the Ruling Elite, so might as well camouflage as one.

    Its would have been easier to just say "Game Over"

    The Harper Government - yes they want to be called The Harper Gov instead of Government Of Canada will do no such thing, This will pass. Why? Well look what happened after the Wikileaks cables shwed that Canadian politicians where working hard to let the US see early drafts of our bills and OUR politicians were asking the US to put US on the 301 list. This hit a few news sites but NOTHING happened.

  10. Re:DSLR on Ask Slashdot: Mirrorless, Interchangeable Lens Camera Advice? · · Score: 1

    I'm not a professional and even though I don't like mirrors cameras (too small) I do own an Olympus EPL-1 and Panny GH1 also E-1/E420. The only thing that might be slow on those cameras would be the lens speed but that's really not an issue and if anyone says so they are full of shit and only look at the spec sheet.

    You can't go wrong with any of the cameras these days unless you can't get past the spec sheet and realise it doesn't mean as much as you think in real life. Also look at used gear. Oly EPL-1 and EPL-2 can be had dirt cheap as can lots of other dslr's

    but for people like me losing those services will not be noticed. I think SOPA is insane but except for google I don't use any of the other services and google is not the only search shop in town. I can see mostly parents who rely on youtube and facebook as baby sitters being affected.

    Why not just de-list all the SOPA supporters from Google and see what happens.

    Sorry to tell you there are enough idiots out there that want to save $.50 on a domain name to keep GoDaddy afloat long enough for the rest and new comers to forget what GoDaddy did/does.

    This would be like car manufacturers bitching about rental companies maintaining their own fleet for too long because the regular maintenance keeps the cars from falling apart too fast and keep the rental companies from buying new ones more often.
