  1. Re:Yeah... on CNET's in-depth Coverage of IT security · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How is this insightful?

    I disagree. There's tons of stuff that I (and many many others) don't feel my taxes should go to.

    Here's the neat thing: if you don't feel you're paying enough in taxes, donate your extra money! There's plenty of charities that will do much more with your donated money than the government would. A good place to start would be to look for orginizations that help provide quality jobs for lower income families.

    I don't think you quite have a grasp on what "derivative" means. It's close to what you think, but not quite:

    Definitions:
    Obtained by derivation; derived; not radical, original, or fundamental; originating, deduced, or formed from something else; secondary; as, a derivative conveyance; a derivative word.

    A derivative work, based for example on a XM radio broadcast, would be if you were to take the content of that broadcast and use it to make your own production or broadcast. Creating derivative works is similar to covering a previously recorded song, or sampling a song to use in your song (see Rap).

    A MP3 != a derivative work.

    He speaks eight languages (the eight that you listed) fluently, although one would guess his mastery of all eight might have slipped in recent years due to his age.

    The church in that statement is saying that some people's churches practices have defects, not the people themselves. Sort of like how America's justice system has defects, but that doesn't make each American 'defective'.

    He is also one of the first popes to apologize for previous actions of the Catholic church (especially during WWII) although his terminology was limited due to that whole "infalibility" they're still unfortunately clinging on to (this coming from a Roman Catholic).

    Wasn't it Linus who said that the open source model works better for OSs than for WPs?

    Yes, because, since Microsoft Office is a closed source project it is much more difficult to steal source code from it than from, say, SCO Unix.

    Yes, we all believe you really were a geneticist. I mean, look, you almost spelled your former job title correctly! And "daffodils" you got wrong, in two different ways!

    Your story makes absolutely no sense (why again were you splicing the genes of a daffodil with that of algae) and why was a beer maker doing GM work on chickens in the early 80's.

    Nice try though. I'm sure you'll get up to about +4 Interesting until some mods actually ready your little tale.

    You have a stable society when some nut guns down a schoolyard and the law doesn't change.

    Or are you under the vastly unwise and mistaken impression that continued law breaking is not evidence that more law is needed?

    So, it is unwise and a mistaken impression that continued law breaking is not evidence of more laws being needed? So, it must be the wise and correct impression that continued law breaking is evidence that more law is needed.

    So, which one are you implying? That continued law breaking (like robberies, murders, etc) means we need more laws? Or that those criminals represent a very small minority of the population and therefore we should not increase the number of laws restricting the freedom of the rest of us "do-gooders"?

    I swear, Americans are about as dense as the depleted uranium they are busily firing all over Afghanistan and Iraq.

    Thankfully we have idiotic cunts like you to put us in our place.

    I may be a "stupid american" but I have learned one thing: People like you are usually the most unintelligent, worthless, misinformed, wastes of good hydrogen that inhabit this earth. Someday you'll get a little "wake up call". But don't worry about my opinion, because I'm just a "complete moron".

    I was born here, I live here, but I still can't figure out how the rest of you

    Why should a 6 or 7 month old fetus have any rights? Perhaps because, if birthed at that point, they would easily survive.
