    I agree, the point was over simplified.

  2. Re:Be alert on EFF Asks How Big Brother Is Watching The Internet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    All the information contained on my buyer card is as legit as the info I give the NYT everytime they ask for a registration. I don't care about getting additional direct marketing offers . . . I just want the price of the food before they jumped the price up so they may offer discounts to card holders.

    My privacy.

    If a terrorist attack occurs killing millions of people, the people would have been wise to reflect upon their actions. What suffering they must have caused to fuel such an attack.

    Facing the idea that Terrorism is just an artifact of the way global politics are handled will be tough for America. Given a seat at the negotiating table, and an honest ear to hear their side, who would choose terror ?

    Taking away my freedom will not change global politics, and will not reduce the root causes of terrorism.

    I expected some redneck to respond in distaste to my belief and lifestyle choices.
    First you attack my moderators, as if they don't know interesting when they see it. Imagine a whole world of interesting things, that you might not enjoy. Now imagine that's the reality of the world you live in.
    blah blah blah, liberals, blah blah blah.
    Because I am different from you,must I have the sad religion ? It's this lack of understanding of anything different than yourself that leads to kids wanting a government sanctioned news outlet.
    Blah blah blah, higher taxes, social programs, big government, blah blah blah.

    I would prefer debian for administration, but it's more of a religous preference than one based on technical merits.

    Good Red State American's don't want freedom . . . they want super bowls, super bowl commercials, and cold beer with a born on date. This life is supposed to suck ass, and the more it sucks the bigger the reward in heaven.

    Freedom of the press, isn't that what leads to disagreements ? Can't we all just adopt the sanctioned viewpoint of our leaders, put this in the past, and look forward to all the great shopping opportunities we have available in this fine country ?

    I can't believe you thought you could bring a bit of truth into the discussion. You would be +5 Insightful if we were talking about a microsoft product released with the same batteries that cost owners a Franklin to replace.

    I didn't think about the 5 II 5 interpretation, and I doubt the market who needs to know "intel inside" would understand the symbol either way.

    Nobody elects the corporations. From cultural frenzy of want, they gathered our cash and spent it against us. No matter who is elected, they have a price the corporations can afford.

    Because laws place boundaries on freedom

    Law enforcement is increasingly anti-freedom. To protect and serve is one thing, a noble persuit to aide a community. To blindly enforce the law, as if the law was written by the god who designed the physics of the universe is another. I see less and less of the protect and serve, while enforcing laws designed to protect the corporations methods of profit continue to climb.

    You don't hate freedom do you ?

  14. Re:Hmm on Price Drops For Mac mini Upgrades · · Score: 1

    I have found apple to be very generous when taking in repairs under warranty. My boss dropped my powerbook down three flights of stairs. Clearly this is abuse, and wouldn't be covered under the warranty. I called them, they sent the box, and I received it a week later in brand new condition. My boss had a motherboard fail way after the warranty expired, again, they replaced it for free, even though the warranty was expired. It's probably just my experience, but it seems that Apple tries really hard to keep their customers pleased with their purchases.

    That great !
    There are lots and lots of products designed for you. You should feel awesome, your in the target market as a consumer of converged electronic devices.

    I just want a phone that makes calls. I don't want to replace my mp3 player because my camera lens got scratch. I don't want to buy a new all in one device because there has been an advancement in phone technology.

    It's a different lifestyle. I don't like being chained to my desk either, thats why I leave my phone and computer at home and go for a hike with my mp3 player. Break the chain, be uncontactable for a few hours, it feels good.

  21. Re:spam will never be gone on The Spam Conference 2005 · · Score: 1

    What if people started responding to spam in droves, would it be possible to cost the companies that use spam as a marketing strategy real money and resources to the point where it was no longer worth their time ? I would think so, but then again the NYTimes still requires registration, and I know how valuable that dataset must be to them.
