  1. Re:That's not the real reason on TV Tropes Self-Censoring Under Google Pressure · · Score: 1

    He/she is talking about an ArchiveBinge. For the record.

  2. Re:gnome developers what? on Ubuntu Dumps X For Unity On Wayland · · Score: 1

    So you don't know Foresight Linux users.

  3. Re:The web is public domain? on Cook's Magazine Claims Web Is Public Domain · · Score: 1

    Actually it compresses nicely.

  4. Re:The web is public domain? on Cook's Magazine Claims Web Is Public Domain · · Score: 1

    But isn't this the principle under which archive.org operates? One can argue that this is not different than a public library lending books and such, why I understand the desperation many have to enforce "IP" personally I can understand this, if I find a recipe on the web, can't I save it to disk? Can't I mail it or SMS it to my mom? Can't I have my home network scrape such recipes and present them in an custom format in the kitchen terminal?

    Isn't then scrapping websites for TV listings ilegal? There are all sort of conveniences and freedoms attached to just respecting attribution and coping the hell out of the web around. Copyright is seem like such a massive deterrent to innovation... it makes baby Jew Jesus cry (Aryan Jesus is just dandy tho)

  7. Re:Looks on VLC Developer Takes a Stand Against DRM Enforcement · · Score: 1

    No big deal, I have a Windows netbook which is used almost exclusively to watch youtube and play a dozen indie games.

    Though that "make some ideological deal of that" is part of the problem not the solution.

    People have to understand that "ideological" is just "long term pragmatical"

  8. Re:Looks on VLC Developer Takes a Stand Against DRM Enforcement · · Score: 1

    Though you have to accept that the main problem is buying a Mac, I know, once you've made an investment the only recourse you have is whine and protest, but what we really should be doing is buying from open source friendly hardware manufacturers, or even better open source *hardware* companies.

    Just look at what Firefox did to the web browsing world, from shitty IE everywhere including Macs, to Apple and Google making their own browsers and MS picking up the slack with browsers that actually render PNGs, is there really anything that your MacBook does that couldn't be done with a System76 for instance?

  9. Re:Oh, I think I see the problem on Facebook Adds Friend Stalker Tool · · Score: 1

    And that's exactly one of the things I love about NOT being on facebook. Geez I don't even use the same skype/msn account to every workplace I've gotten. It's incredibly awkward to bump into somebody I haven't talked to in ages -- and have no interest in talking to ever again.

  10. Re:Cheap -- to Replace! on Time To Rethink the School Desk? · · Score: 1

    I learned about chopping trees in minecraft, try it! It's the closest thing to actually getting outside, or so they say.

  11. Re:Oh, just great on Researchers Find a 'Liberal Gene' · · Score: 1

    No silly, you get modded up for criticizing the enemy, not for praising their side, trash both and you a winner is you.

  12. Re:ridiculous story on Are Consumer Hard Drives Headed Into History? · · Score: 1

    It's even more ridiculous than that, the story goes like this:

    OMG Steve (your highness) Jobs did something (actually kinda old but for them) new! Are the everybody else doomed? (I mean, of course yes!)

    Nobody said "Yahoo Answers-grade" was the lowest grade of stupidity available for comparison, now excuse me while I compile my kernel.

    - Google Crap

    * By Microsoft.
    ** Now called LibreCrap.

    Of course it's iCrap because it is made by Apple! Otherwise it would be Krap, GCrap or MS Crap.

  16. Re:Headline Is So Very Wrong on How Google Avoided Paying $60 Billion In Taxes · · Score: 1

    It goes along the lines of:

    I pay a higher fraction of my income to keep the country defended, the streets safe, the laws enforced, the mail moving, the homeless sheltered and the children educated than does companies like Google.

    And I'll add, this in spite of the fact that I have much less to gain from military invasions, road maintenance, public education and law enforcement included but not limited to copyright and trademark enforcement and myriad other public services, than these same companies.

    No I didn't! Is there a new kernel release :D? Where? Where?

    I suspect /. has been infiltrated by CIA astroturfers, that or 12 years old rednecks. Could be both.

    MacOS it's not UNIX, in the sense that the MacOS marketshare and the UNIX marketshare only negligibly overlap. MacOS could be built upon Haiku for all that MacOS users care.
