  1. Re:screenshots? on Ubuntu 9.04 Is As Slick As Win7, Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Funny

    Some people, you know, just like complicated ancient technologies, like "drag and drop" and "sync" using some free tools (like amarok on Linux, or Mediamonkey on Windows). It makes you wonder if their dicks are as big as yours. Non-confirmist hippies and their refusal to sell their soul. They just don't know the pleasure of bondage, like you and me!

    I call bullshit on you, because they listened to us (the users) on "Anyone remember being able to have multiple queues on your (shared) account with someone? Thrown out, in the name of "efficiency" to much booing.". Go spread your MS hatred somewhere else.

    We are talking about Netflix. Yes, they are a company looking for making profit, but they are also one of the few companies who have a solid record of listening to their customers. I have nothing but positive experience with Netflix. Give them a chance - let's see how they will react to this.

  14. Re:HOORAY! on Half the Charges Against Pirate Bay Dropped · · Score: 2, Informative

    If the artists are represented by RIAA, movies by MPAA and writers by Author's Guild, I have no moral problem with piracy. But at the same time, all the files I have on my computers are from legal source - CDs (older) and amazon.com (newer).

    I believe its good news because TPB prosecution stinks of corporate thuggery. And at the same time, RIAA and their ilk are going after innocent people with countless cases filed every year. They do not deserve anything out of this.

  15. Only matter of time? on Half the Charges Against Pirate Bay Dropped · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Good to hear this news.

    But From TFA: "What has been shown in court today is that the prosecutor cannot prove that the .torrent files he is using as evidence actually used The Pirate Bay's tracker. Many of the screenshots being used clearly state there is no connection to the tracker. Additionally, prosecutor HÃ¥kan Roswall didn't adequately explain the function of DHT which allows for so called "trackerless" torrents."

    So, it is only matter of time they are back later with stronger evidences?

    Sorry, viewing pornography is illegal in India at least since the British. Do some research, for fuck sake.

    http://www.apiap.org/opinions/legal/opinion-the-law-on-pornography-in-india-and-implication-on-cyber-cafe-operators

    The term 'pornography' when used in relation to an offence is not defined in any statutes in India but the term 'obscenity' has been effectively explained in two statutes in India, and these legislations prescribe that 'obscenity' in certain circumstances constitutes an offence. These legislations are (i) The Indian Penal Code, 1860 ('IPC') and (ii) The Information Technology Act, 2000 ('IT Act').

    Although neither the IPC nor the IT Act defines what 'obscenity' is, section 292 of the IPC and section 67 of the IT Act, (which corresponds to section 292 of the IPC) explain 'obscenity' to mean anything which is lascivious or appeals to the prurient interest or if its effect is to deprave and corrupt persons. Therefore according to the law in India, anything that is lascivious or appeals to the prurient interest or if its effect is to deprave and corrupt persons would be considered to be 'obscene'.

    Obscenity as an offence under the Indian Penal Code.

    Section 292 of the IPC comprehensively sets out the circumstances in which 'obscenity' and / or any 'obscene' material is an offence.
