Let us raise our glasses in toast to these people and hope that they will be successful, and that their success will cause more to follow in their footsteps.
Maybe a class action lawsuit against all of the record companies for conspiring against the artists and their fans.
That said, it's also true that governments will keep secrets for the wrong reasons. But, I am not sure we should applaud every person who exposes secrets.
For a really good explanation of why Assange is doing what he is doing see this.
Do you happen to remember when democrats had [...] a super majority in the Senate[...]?
The Democrats have never had a super majority in the Senate, that would almost be impossible. For the big 'D's (should be 'P' for pussy) to have a super majority in the Senate they'd need to hold 100 seats, and only then would it be a super majority if the Vice President was a Democrat as well. Well, that and ALL of the fucking lobbiest had decided to take a vacation.
He barely calls out republicans for stuff like "House Republicans have already promised to oppose any solution put forth by FCC chairman Julius Genachowski."
Good hell! He won't call out Republicans for the hypocrisy of how they won't extend unemployment benefits because they'll add to the deficit, but want to extend the Bush tax cuts to the rich without any mention of the deficit.
Not that dems have never ever done this but Obama ran on a platform of ending this kind of thing and only seems to bend over backwards continuing to let republicans to run him over.
I think that you have the way he bends opposite of the way he really bends, and I think that you have the length of time that Republicans spend on top of him and what they do there wrong. Hint: it doesn't involve lube, although it should.
What does the FCC have to do with this, again? Last I checked, internet was not transferred directly over the air like traditional television, so they have no more jurisdiction over internet than cable TV.
God damn there outta be an IQ requirement to post here! What part of "Federal" or "Communications" or "Commission" equates to only "over-the-air"?
Here is a formula for figuring out whether things will pass in the US: Does it pander to a moron's sense of morality? pass Does it benefit only the super-rich? pass Does it look like it benefits the middle class but really does nothing or actually just benefits the super-rich? pass Does it do something to really strengthen the US? fail
Ask yourself: what does not having net neutrality do? It benefits the super-rich. Net neutrality laws will fail. No matter what you do. No matter what you think. No matter how many "middle class" do-gooders you have on your side. It will fail. The super-rich will somehow convince the silent majority (morons) that it is somehow in their best interest that net neutrality does not succeed. Don't believe me? Just watch.
Let the people die, it's why we were born in the first place.
It's called Stockholm Syndrome. There is nothing fucking positive about death. Let me repeat: there is NOTHING positive about death. Rationalize all that you want, it will not change the fact that death is pure destruction.
...because it's fairly easy to hit bottlenecks either in the application or in the kernel that will limit scalability. Most common workloads are already seeing... [CPU limit reached. Reboot? (Y/N)]
You have to question why a security expert with the NSA compares fighting computer crime from a nation with a GDP comparable to the state of Texas with the old real threat of absolute destruction from a foe that had a little over half the GDP of the US at the time, but had a larger population, larger land mass, and a larger workforce... along with a whole bunch of US destroying missles.
This is why Slashdot (News for Nerds) is "news" like Fox News is "news" - it's not.
Maybe. But you'll never see a correction to an overblown sensationalist headline that Fox News put out hit the front page of foxnews.com. That's the difference.

Thanks for your candor and seriousness. I hate when I post something and then realize that I misunderstood either the summary or the person to whom I was replying. I agree with what you are saying, and I believe that the person to whom you were replying was saying something along similar lines, albeit with a bit of sarcasm that might not have been immediately apparent (unless you're normally a sarcastic bastard like me, and if you are, excuse me for assuming that you're not;-) ).
My dad had high blood pressure. In spite of efforts to control it through diet and exercise, he foolishly took drugs to control it, thinking that he could improve upon his natural system to regulate it.
WTF are you talking about here?
Sarcasm. We're talking about sarcasm.
I mean, some people run 10 miles or more a day; surely that can't be normal
Wow, that is surely one of the most retarded statements I have read, even trumping your drug phobia.
Wow, that is surely one of the most retarded statements I have read, even trumping your lack of sarcasm.
I will personally beat to death the first Stoner that injures one of my family members because they were driving while stoned.
You seem to be implying that no one drives while stoned right now because marijuana is illegal, and that if it is legalized people will suddenly start driving while stoned (which is illegal right now and would remain so). If you've taken a class in logic I'd ask for a refund. See this. Unless you were trying for this, in which case I missed it.

Because this whole recluse bit is really fucking up your world view.
If not being a recluse didn't fuck up your world view, what did?
Meg Whitman? Wow, tinfoil hattery shows no bounds.
Posted anonymously because they are after me.
They might not want to piss us off, but it's better not to piss off [Big Brother].
I'm usually against the FTFY thing, but in this case I think that it really gives clarity to what you are saying.

The reason the US invaded Afghanistan was for their refusal to extradite Bin Laden, not for any Taliban-led attack.
Which was, and still is, proper.

Is there also a tag for the news source that properly edits it?
Where have all the true grammar NAZIs gone?

Yes, an while we are at it gat a working EMH/ECH(star-trek voyager) and a mobuile emitor :)
Or a working spell check program ;-)
How about we focus on the real issues?

I thought the government was for the people by the people.
It is a fucking joke, but only the rich are laughing. It is government for the people by the super-rich. The top 1 percent of Americans owns 34 percent of America's private net worth[...] The bottom 90 percent owns just 29 percent. Yep, that's right : in the U.S. out of a random 100 people on average there will be one person who owns more than ninety of the other people combined.
I'm not a Mozart guy at all. I'm under 250 years old.
I knew Wolfgang Mozart. Wolfgang Mozart was a friend of mine. Beatle, you're no Mozart.
Don't ask what I was doing when I was supposed to be previewing. :P
Building up your right forearm muscles since you had learned that they could now compensate with stem cell injections in the left?
That's because you're too young to be able to see what an effect the Beatles had on music and indeed, society (actually, societies) in general.
Yeah. Now get the fuck off his lawn!

Researchers have devised a theoretical quantum computer that could function even if one in four qubits were missing.
I think that this quote is apropos: In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is. Yogi Berra
