I couldn't agree more, and I'm sure most of the/. users agree as well. They are just plain greedy and there is nothing that will ever change that. Money makes every person on the planet greedy, it can make anyone evil. I hope Jobs succeeds at rejecting their pressure.
I have lost all urges to play stupid games like Blackjack or Euchre. Now I found CHICKEN SHIT BINGO!!!! It's the most intelligent thing in the world, the chicken shits, I make money. What could be better? Certainly not midget pole vaulting!
Learn something about how a computer works, download a FREE distro of SUSE and install all the FREE software that comes with it. Then, if you still feel this way... you can sit here and tell us how windows is supreme dick sucker of the world.
Until then, get a life, get a girlfriend, and stop wasting your time as well as ours you fucking loser.
Good to see that our elected officials are actually doing something to protect the people that put them into power. I seem to recall a PSA about a kid checking a book out and these agents come grab him and haul him away for checking out that specific book. Once the kid was gone it said: "What if America, wasn't America?"
The government funded the PSA so I sure hope they don't change their minds on what America is.
Why the hell would we need proof of who we're electing to run our entire existance? That's just insanity, whoever thought of this should be forced to wear a sign of what religion they are and herded into camps to be exterminated!
Let's see... I'm brainwashed because I believe that corporations (mostly people trying to survive, let alone make a profit) that deal in IP should get protection from the law just like everyone else?
We're talking multi-million dollar corporations here and super-rich singers and songwriters, not poor ma n pa down the street running a cafe. If the shareholders don't want to invest their money in record companies then they don't have to.
Fines aren't scary enough.
Tell me... if you got fined $20,000 for downloading a few mp3s would you keep stealing music? I sure would. Why don't you think about this happening to you for once, 3 years would seem unfair as hell if you were ever in prison.
I have but one more thing to say and I am done.
Corporations are not people, they are merely composed of people that could all choose different jobs. This fine country has different laws for each of them... remember that!
Have a nice day.
Listen to yourself, you even used the word bribe. If you don't see anything wrong with bribing an elected official, then go read a history book. If you think that it is justified to send a pimple-faced teenager to jail for three years for downloading a $16 dollar movie from the internet then you have bad judgement. What is wrong with just fining these people that download? No, we need to throw them in prison for three years to get killed or raped. That sounds like a fit punishment to you? If so, I feel sorry for you and your soul.
What about politicians that steal hundreds of thousands of dollars and get away with it everyday with a slap on the wrist? This country is being run into the ground by brainwashed idiots like yourself that keep voting for Republican or Democrat because they think there is a difference.
Another piece of evidence that THE PEOPLE don't have any control over THE ROBOTS that they elect. We will keep having bills like this passed until people stop voting for politicians that support lobbying. Our elected officials are being legally bribed by every corporation that is looking to make a few bucks.
The majority of this country doesn't have the money to buy every cd to see if they like one or two songs. These bills are being passed by people that get every cd they want for passing legislation like this. If the corporations are tired of losing money on cds and movies, maybe they should lower the damn price since a blank CD costs them around 30 cents and a blank DVD costs around 60 cents.
I have personally taken a role in not ever buying another DVD or CD simply because they do stuf like this. If you tell a kid not to eat a piece of candy, they're going to eat twice as many pieces. This country is going to crap very quickly, thanks to the two-party system.
Most people are too stupid to know how to uninstall messenger. Why is this installed to begin with anyway? Cant the user decide what software they want to install, not MS?
It is broke, we dont even elect our officials now as it is! If you dont believe me check out this lady's website, she specializes in trying to make voting more secure and efficient and has plenty of evidence that people try to make loopholes in these machines with no record except a database file that can be altered however the tech sees fit. There are plenty of approved machine that produce paper copies in the case of a recount. I have donated money to her and I suggest you all do the same!
This country wont elect a single representative for themselves until we go back to normal counting of paper ballots! I dont see why we wouldn't do this, it can only help. It is much more reliable and fool-proof and it does nothing but help our economy by having to hire people to count the ballots. In today's world the tech that made the machine is the one who oversees the counting process, not a trustworthy judge that cannot be bribed like it was back in the day.

And anyone else with their eyes set on world destruction by utilizing its Nazi-like ways just like MS!
When is somebody going to step up to the plate and sue these companies for defacing personal property? They get away with it every day and there are laws against it. Plain and simple they are destroying people's property without their permission, at least not any signatures that would hold up in court. All it will take is for one company to sue these companies, and others will follow...at least our company will!
This just in...Microsoft has announced it will begin to make a new line of deli sandwiches which will five times tastier than subway or quiznos. The sandwiches will contain small amounts of cocaine to keep people eating them since they taste so shitty nobody would ever touch them. Microsoft has also announced in the same report that the amount of cocaine in each one will slowly fall so that the company can continue to make the profit that it so badly needs. The FDA has said nothing about the cocaine; some insiders say they are ignoring it because everyone in the government is in Microsoft's pocket....never saw that one coming!
This is our lives...and nobody seems to care. We need to do away with electronic voting, especially the ones that produce no paper trail. Think about it, who is it going to hurt? I will just tell you who it won't hurt: EVERYONE! Why are we so rushed into making the whole country a electronic vote? I'll tell you why, it makes it easier to cheat, anyone who doesn't see that is having their rights stripped away and doesn't care...and that is UNAMERICAN!
I don't see anything wrong with having a Judge on site to monitor the election process instead of the guy that runs the machine with no legal bindings or any laws that restrict him from taking bribes! Even hiring people to hand count the ballots is a better idea than and all electronic system with no paper print out whatsoever. There will never be a 100% secure way to vote but the least we can do is put forth all of our effort to make it as foolproof as possible.
This will make it much easier for me to ditch my drugs when the cops pull me over...until the cops install butterfly nets to the front bumper of their flying cars.
