  1. A simple solution on Breaking Google's DRM · · Score: 1

    Here's a simple solution; don't use it. Those mega-crops will stop dishing out crap if enough people boycott the copyprotected medias.

    One more thing to add, Bush used the same reasoning for concluding that Saddam had WMD and was planning on using it against US. Think about it, Saddam had WMD research problem before the first war, and it's no secret that he hated US, and thus Bush concluded that he was developing WMD to strike against US, even though he didn't have a solid proof that Saddam had WMD. And because Bush didn't have a solid proof, I didn't buy his story just as I'm not buying your story.

    Your Rove proof did show that a possibility but it's still not a proof of what happend. For example, in the court of law, the prosecutor simply can't say that since the defendant has stolen in the past, he must have comitted acts of thief in the present.

    Personally, I wouldn't be suprised if what you claimed turned out to be true, but there's also danger in blindingly believing without proofs.

    I find it totally predictable that a Bush apologist would get behind this Republican terrorism. Have you taken all the shots you can?

    They are very liberal, and like all intelligent, well informed people, they are very rabidly anti-Republican.

    I forgot to mention... I don't think that any truly intelligent, well informed people stereotypes. Because someone does not agree with you doesn't make them wrong or stupid.

  11. Re:Indymedia != Independent? on Indymedia Server Raided by FBI · · Score: 1

    That sounds about right. I thought that they were portraying themselves as politically independent just as Fox News portraying themselves as "fair and balanced".

    Personally, maybe with an exception of Fox News, I don't think that because the owners are right wing, all their news are right leaning all the time. Those mega-corps are about profits and it doesn't make sense to alienate half of your "customers".

    As for Indymedia getting raided, I think that they brought it on themselves because non of the major media outlets would've gotten away with posting personal info on DNC delegates.

  12. Re:Indymedia != Independent? on Indymedia Server Raided by FBI · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the clarification. From looking at the articles on their site, it seems that they tend to be leaning to the left just as much as Fox News leaning to the right.

  13. Re:my 2cents on House Passes Another Spyware Bill · · Score: 1

    unless I am reading this wrongly, home computers are given no protection under the bill. Why is that?

    I'm wondering if it's because they didn't want to prevent the parents from installing spyware on their kids' computers.

    And its "your rights online" because it appears you cant maintain a legal website expressing views contrary to the political establishment (of several nations) without it getting taken down.

    My your logic, Slashdot would've been taken down a long time ago.

    You do have a good point here. Also consider forming an LLC or corporation (yes, you can be a one person LLC or corp) for limited liability if you are planning on doing this on regular basis.

    Those rich folks are better targets for independent geek contractors as we have less overhead than those mega-chains and thus can charge less. Believe it or not, many of them built up wealth by spending money wisely by finding bargins. The hard part is letting them know that you exist.

    For example, I've set up a wireless network for a family friend who also happend to be a sucessful small business owner. I didn't charge him anything as he was a family friend, but he gave me $100 anyways and told me that Best Buy charged $250 for the same deal.
