    Have you not seen the millions of /. articles about how the religious right is preventing IMAX science videos from showing, pushing abstinence-only sex ed, etc, in the US?

    If you have a good media player such as VLC (which will become illegal unless software patents are defeated in Europe! Europeans call your reps NOW!) and the video and srt file are named the same thing (excluding the difference in extension), the player will give you the option of showing subtitles. SUB/IDX files also are an option if you want multiple subtitle files.

    Or, as an alternative, you could use OGM or MKV (matroska) as a container for subs and video. Fansubbers do this often with anime and other movies.

    But that's you. Many who commit crimes, upon entering prison, continue to commit them on a regular basis to other inmates, and vice versa. Just because you, a law abiding citizen, would prefer to be separated from the danger doesn't mean that felons would want to be. And solitary is additionally having nothing to do but talk to yourself. It's not easy. It drives men insane.

    Have you ever been in solitary? It is hell -- no light, no room, no socialization. Granted, many /.ers take that situation and thrive in it, but forcing someone to live in squalor will make them wish they were never born. When your choices are go through hell or reform, you reform. You gotta make em cry and wish they were never born. Call me vicious, and I've said this before, but orphans in the USA are treated worse than felons. Where's the justice there?

  6. Re:Controversial? on Running a Website from Your Prison Cell · · Score: 1

    I, like most /.ers, didn't RTFA. I was responding to a post about inmates having internet, and I stated that incarcerated criminals receive more benefits than orphans in the USA. If I ever was president, I would exert so much of my energy towards reversing this; the fact of the matter is, this is a huge injustice we are doing to innocents here. I am for revoking internet, weights, rights, everything, to inmates in favor of diverting funds towards orphans. If we are so concerned with making criminals more "fit for society", we'd better sure as hell be working on making orphans fit for society as well -- many of them become criminals because they were not provided a comfortable environment to grow when they were children. That was my point.

    I don't know what the hell you are talking about, but adultery sure as hell isn't illegal in any of the fifty states. As far as gangs are concerned, I have no idea about Georgia, but there are plenty of gangs in Texas prisons -- the Latin Kings, La Raza (The Race, in reference to Latinos), etc. Gangs are a huge problem in US prisons. Where did you go, white collar "prison"?

    I do acknowledge that you know what it's like in your prison that you went to, as far as torture going on. But to distort things and say someone was in for adultery, I'm sorry, but you lost all your credibility from me at that line.

    You wanna know how to reintegrate them into society? Make their lives living hell 24/7. They'll never want to go back again. Period. Beat them. Put them in solitary. I don't care. Criminals do not deserve more than orphans in the US. If you think otherwise, you are the biggest douche in the universe, and need to visit an orphanage to see what THOSE are like -- they're worse than jails.

  12. Re:not really different from street artists... on The Video Game Pianist · · Score: 1

    Except that you can cover music in performances for free, but you cannot distribute those performances without licensing. This is how live bands can do covers. However, if you buy their CD with a certain cover on it, they most likely paid a license fee, or are just hoping to not get caught. This is coming from someone who has played in live bands before. You can perform copyrighted music as covers for free, but you cannot distribute the performances without paying the songwriter, nor can you reproduce in a paper form any lyrics or music for people to see during the performance.

    I performed in a modern worship band at my church before going off to college, and we were not allowed to lead people in copyrighted songs without paying license fees -- due to copyright, we could perform the songs, but not print the lyrics for everyone else to read!

    Scratch the "the GPL is for software" comment. I am fully aware that you can GPL non-software (docs, etc).

  14. Re:Is this what you might call... on Trent Reznor Challenges Music Norms · · Score: 1

    I often mistake versions 1 and 2 of the GPL and the LGPL. The CC license is included or linked to from the distribution, so it is a fallacy to believe that because they are "easy to mistake one [another]", they are weak. I remind you, the GPL is for software.

    You know that if I want to put something into the public domain, the GPL doesn't do it for me. However, the CC Public Domain License does. To claim that because the CC does not offer a GPL-style license, it is inferior to the GPL is to use the same logic that the GPL is inferior to the CC because it does not use CC-style licensing! This is fallacious reasoning, using what you intend to prove to prove it!

    Need I remind you that the GPL is not free; it does place restrictions on a user. By definition it is not free. I like the GPL, but to claim that it is as free as, say, public domain, is fallacious.

    Because the CC provides a public domain license, it is, by definition, more free than the GPL.

    Use the license that fits the time; if you want to make something GPL, use the GPL. If you don't care to keep the improvements under your license, use something like BSD or CC.

    But can you play the EphPod music on the iPod? Otherwise, the iPod is just a glorified hard drive. I was under the impression that once you put the song on an iPod that could be played via the iPod, you couldn't copy it to another computer and be able to listen to it on that computer (to stop piracy and all that jazz). Is this not true?
