    ThePiratebay was and still is legal in Sweden.

    I guess you can keep on arguing that. But they where sentenced and I don't think it's even hosted in Sweden longer so well. Make what you want out of that.

    Swedish text-tv had information yesterday/at night how Warner would cancel Spotify.

    This morning however there was a new entry saying they where not and all their streaming services would remain.

    Hey, it was an Apple product*. I don't know which one is worst but it's not like it wasn't doomed in the first place.

    * Rewrote mac into Apple product just because macs used to be nice and was (together with the OS) one of the interesting products from Apple. Nowadays I wouldn't give the hardware any merits but I still don't want to pretend like macs have always sucked or that I have anything against them by default.

    It's Macintosh.

    And is that really a fact or something made up just because it happened to work?

    I for sure use it as a short for macintosh.

    ... and btw.

    Some kids gets bullied more than others, so if it only was the bullies which where dicks then wouldn't all other kids become bullied of them in a somewhat equal amount?

    For some reason they seem to choose their target.

    Though I think it's not totally fair to put all the blame on the victim and only see them as the problem and not ask oneself why the bullies have to behave like dicks in the first place, not all kids do.

    That's not the answer they give.

    And even if you're not bullied later in life (eventually mostly because you're so alone ..) the lack of understanding social situations may still affect many aspects of your life.

    Other interesting (I hope) articles they had linked from the same page:
    Understanding the 10 Most Destructive Human Behaviors
    10 Things Schools Don't Teach Well

    If you (the reader) got bullied in school go ask yourself how well you master the following skills all from the article above:
    * Listen to others.
    * Follow the steps.
    * Follow the rules.
    * Ignore distractions.
    * Ask for help.
    * Take turns when you talk.
    * Get along with others.
    * Stay calm with others.
    * Be responsible for your behavior.
    * Do nice things for others.

    Speaking for myself I know which ones I would had rated quite low.

    That won't change any of the "omg we don't need to care about the environment, our energy or item consumption or make things greener, because, look at China!

    I stand that there are advantages to global economy but as usual there are disadvantages, we better know the two sides of the coin before jumping to quick conclusions.

    And since when is an equal society a disadvantage? Who would really want to say that a majority of the people should suffer and be poor for the benefit of others?

    And the more advanced the poor countries get the more productive do they become. Which mean more items produced for lower prices.

    So in the end the people at large get richer and more equal.

    Oh the horrors! We deserve to be the only rich über elite!

    Lack of land, water and food will be a different story though. Better stop relying on the bigger next generation to pay for the elders and thereby increase the demand for more and more young people.

    Or we can just fight for it and die off from diseases instead.

    The protectionism crap is, well, crap.

  14. Re:Excellent. on Vimeo Also Introduces HTML5 Video Player · · Score: 1

    Why should there be freaking codecs in the browser in the first place?

    Just let people build firefox with gstreamer or whatever if they want to get video support or without it if they don't care.

    (Multiview on the Amiga showed whatever (exceptions?) file you had a datatype for.)

    Personally I would had been fine with the tag supporting ANY video format and then put the responsibility for actually having a codec for it in the hands of the user. But I can understand why they don't do this (though now the user may have to be able to understand how to convert their files instead, which may be equally or even more complicated.)

    Anyway, sure a free format would be nice but do one really want one if it looks much worse at the same bitrate? To use Theora just because it's free even if it sucked would, well, suck. (And to demand that the videos will be H.264 now and forever suck to, but I guess they will follow up with H.265 and so on to.)

    And in the end neither of GIF, JPEG or MP3 was free? Right? Would free ones had been better? Probably, but if they aren't popular who cares?

    Seriously if you are turned on by a thing do you believe that some therapy can cure that?

    Make you understand that it's not accepted by society and that you shouldn't do it, sure, but lose the attraction?

    Also there is an issue with age, over here in Sweden you are allowed to have sex with 15 year olds, in some countries it's 18 afaik. But don't plenty of people reach puberty at say 12-13 or such?

    So even more normal men who are just turned on by fertile females may still fall into what people see as pedophilia.

    Should they be protected against the monsters which are men? What do I know.
