    Isn't the human brain a quantum computer? Isn't that proof enough that it doesn't work?

  5. playing chicken before the egg on RIAA Wants To Scrap Anti-Piracy OPEN Act · · Score: 1

    groups like the RIAA and MPAA shouldn't exist. IP is a sham, especially when it comes to art.

  8. if the internet were tangible... on Ask Slashdot: How To Inform a Non-Techie About Proposed Copyright Laws · · Score: 1

    The internet is like a bridge, SOPA would give the authorities to shut down the bridge indefinitely if there's a jay walker crossing the road the wrong way somewhere along it.

  9. Re:At first glance... on Aging U-2 Will Fight On Into the Next Decade · · Score: 2

    So did I and I only clicked the link because I highly doubted what the headline was suggesting.

  18. Re:prisoners in general on Google Donating $11.5M To Fight Modern Slavery · · Score: 1

    I don't agree with putting people in prison for invalid reasons. My only law would be 'do no harm'. But every one has to work and in the end I don't think everyone *can* choose exactly what they want to do, that's not how societal life works. Sometimes the jobs that need to get done aren't necessarily the jobs that people want to do. I wish we could set wages that way, that would be fair. All I am saying is the concept of a prison is that remove the dangerous people from society, but they should also have to work, and compete at that work for benefits. Some could even like their jobs, it would teach others responsibility, hierarchy and that together individual men can live and work together to achieve something. And damned are we if we don't force that on them!

  19. wait... on Software Bug Caused Qantas Airbus A330 To Nose-Dive · · Score: 1

    is this article about driverless cars or software for an airplane?

  20. in the end on Meet the Strange Bedfellows Who Could Stop SOPA · · Score: 1

    regardless of law, people are going to do what people are going to do, and that will never change no matter what bills are passed, copyrights/patents are awarded. You can't stop anyone from doing anything, all you can do is threaten and extort. Human nature will eventually win out though. STOP trying to prevent people from engaging in activities that cause no direct harm, you are wasting time and money and holding back a society that desperately needs to move forward. First order of business, stop preventing people from moving forward.

  21. prisoners in general on Google Donating $11.5M To Fight Modern Slavery · · Score: 1

    As opposed to tax payers just paying the bill? Every one HAS to work to make ends meet, why should prisoners be treated any different?
