  1. Re:you need a router on How To Avoid Viruses At Windows Install Time? · · Score: 2, Funny

    We should just put the whole internet behind a firewall. Problem solved. :) On a more serious note, can you imagine the kind of trouble we'll have with IPV6? I'll be arrested because my toaster was hijacked and launched a DOS on army.mil

  2. Re:Odd on How To Avoid Viruses At Windows Install Time? · · Score: 1

    I think you mean incredible, in the sense of being a bit dubious. You and I both, however, are incredulous. It sounds like the first thing the guy is doing after the install is sharing the C drive with full permissions. :)

    Really, it's a brand name, which is used to present an image to the customer's mind before they have a chance to think about the word logically. An image of really tiny software?

  4. Re:Freedom is worth it on EU Pushes to Limit Internet Speech · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They didn't die for a law prohibiting racist speech, they died for the broader idea of freedom. You can argue that it's all on a continuum, but the poster's point still stands. I wouldn't die for a law prohibiting racist speech. It just wouldn't affect my behavior in the least, nor would a law prohibiting any other kind of speech.

    You make it sound like the Special Olympics.

    There's no mens rea in having an open access point.

    Evo didn't seem like environmental nutjob propaganda. It had the whole 'mother earth' hippie type feel, but nothing about the environment, per se. I thought it was a pretty nifty idea for a game.

    If they sell it to someone whom they reasonably suspect is going to use it to build a car bomb, then yes they do bear some responsibility. The router companies that sell to China know that the government will use the equipment to repress their people, yet they sell to them anyway. They are accomplices.

  10. Re:Pornography is *evil*? on Rules for Teenage Internet Access? · · Score: 0

    If there's anything I can't stand, it's people who don't respect other people's right to enjoy pornography...and the Dutch.

    It is every parent's responsibility to teach his or her children the basics of proxy servers and how to clear the cache.

  14. Re:For those too lazy to RTFA on Newest Audio CD DRM Proves Ineffective · · Score: 0

    It seems like the real copyright protection is releasing music that no one in their right mind would want to make a copy of.

    Perhaps a new Lysenko within our midst? You should read Stephen Jay Gould's last book. I'm sure it was people like you who created the first borg.

  16. Re:This is good and all, but.... on Senator Seeks Restrictions to Music Laws, Fines · · Score: 0

    I'm a damned liberal. But it's hard when it's almost consistently the Republicans who are on the right side of these issues. The right to privacy should be supported wholeheartedly by both parties. It's a fundamental tenet of freedom.

    Bob Barr may be right on this issue. But he's still an asshole.

    Jesse Ventura was on Real Time on Friday. That guy is a grade-A moron. He was trying to say that agricultural price controls keep prices from skyrocketing. The economist who was also on the show sighed heavily and pointed out that the price controls are price floors, not ceilings.

    You are damn right. I'm a civil libertarian. But I reject anarcho-capitalism. Competition is the catalyst for progress. Dean in 2004.
