    I saw a peice on this on some morning show. Ok, whetever, I don't know if he's bone-dense are clever like a fox, but I do know that he looks like a lesbian in drag. Swear to God.

    Ok, I've heard of these stories, but I've never had my GPS unit (which is my phone) steer me wrong. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I seriously have to wonder HOW often. If it happened often enough you'd think that the units wouldn't be marketable, and they clearly are.

    This judge will be held up as an example in all Texas courts.

    He *should* be, I doubt *will*. This is a state that is still having debates on weather or not to include evolution in school curriculums.

    This is why it is important to not run your life (our country) based on other peoples views of you.

    If you think that's how it's really run you're an idiot.

    Yes! Will the Bluths still be as hideous to each other after an 8 year hiatus? At least George Michael will look exactly the same.

    The bigger sacrifice would seem to be that of cellulose film.

    ...and a media that sacrifices itself automatically is of *what* value? (You are aware that there is a very expensive rush on to save the last century of cellulose film archives that are fading away into oblivion simply becuase they are cellulose...)

    Basically corporations have yet another carte blanche to sue whoever they want for whatever reason.

    Well, "basically" (the superfluous "basically" make the user look like an idiot by the way) anyone can sue for any reason whatsoever, and they do. My wife, who works for a silicon valley court system sees this all the time. The from high powered corp lawyer to the crazy cat lady living in a shopping cart. Corporations don't own lawsuits as you appear to be implying.

  13. Re:What the hell on Will Donglegate Affect Your Decision To Attend PyCon? · · Score: 1

    Taking away someone's speach, no matter how much You don't like it is rash, immature, and really rather dangerous. Its also typical of people who don't their own dirty laundry aired in public. Nor does it actually adress a problem. It merely sweeps problems under the rug. Hear no evil, what? Political correctness is the worst travesty to ever have been foisted on western thought Ever. But your ilk lap it up like honey. What a joke.

    "Donglegate" doesn't rise to the level of a gate. Its not even a page three scandal. Its a mindless distraction.

    Funny, that doesn't seem to be the situation in US Law. Intent appears to make a major difference there. Why must people be held to a higher standard in their personal lives? Oh, yeah, the all-important political correctness thing...

  24. Re:Like Politics on Post "Good Google," Who Will Defend the Open Web? · · Score: 2

    Free Market companies have one overriding interest; to make profits for their shareholders, that is the only reason they exist. To try to paint them as activists or expect that they "do the right thing" or anything altruistic is "doing it wrong". I'm frequently shocked by the number of otherwise intelligent users on this board who seem to believe that companies MUST have altruism in their mission statements. A little activist philosophy is fine until it gets in the way of the main function of business institutions. An enterprise's sole function is to make profits as quickly and efficiently as possible.

    Rule by committee is incredibly inefficient for the profit goal, but it works great for regulation; this is why the federal government's main function (should be) regulatory matters. Governments by definition cannot make a profit, this is not the function of government. What they do is regulate, and they do it well.

    A consortium of various interests (as has been the way, more or less) would seem to me to be the best way to go here. Leave businesses to make profits, this is what they must focus on. Instead let them have representitives on an open standards committee, as well as anyone else who has an interest in the open web. This is how its been done up to now, and its a good system. No one for-profit org should be in charge of this.

    It gets a little old to hear over and over again about institutional & "enterprise-level" operations not getting digital security, or being lazy about it. I guess things like this can be mitigated somewhat on the client side by not simply trusting the first CA the client hits, but going up the chain a bit, so clients have their part to do as well.
