    It's obvious! So that you're ready for when the evil Kythera Mechanism shows up!

  2. Re:So what do we do about it? on AFL-CIO and Big Content Advocate For SOPA · · Score: 2

    Exactly. The "Wasted Vote" argument can continue to be extrapolated reductio ad absurdum to say, "If you didn't vote for the winning candidate, you wasted your vote."

    If I write in my site's ToS that all spam is unauthorized access, can I get Jeff Bezos thrown in jail every time Amazon sends me another coupon I didn't ask for?

    Of course not. Laws are not intended to be used against the rich.

  7. Re:Good for B&N on Barnes & Noble Names Microsoft's Disputed Android Patents · · Score: 2

    Doubt it. B&N got on the Internet bandwagon early, with a decent strategy.

    Borders botched their initial online presence (I think they either went through Amazon(!) or Target), and never really recovered.

    B&N has both internet dead tree sales, as well as their brick&mortar. They're not dying anytime soon.

    8 chars? Why back in my day we had only 6! And we were glad to have them too! How else would be we able to tell between julia and julian without that sixth character?

    And we had to walk fifteen miles to see the sysadmin to get the username, too. In a raging snowstorm! Uphill! Both ways!!!!

    Italy makes it clear that Europa is female. It's clearly a woman's boot.

  24. Re:SCO = Herpes on SCO Zombie Creaks Into Motion Again · · Score: 1

    Because when this whole fiaSCO started, they paid a lump sump to their attorneys to cover the ENTIRE suit through all appeals.

    They're NOT paying their attorneys, they've already been paid.
