  1. So...illegal things are criminal? on A Push To End the Online Gambling Ban · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Illegal offshore Internet gambling sites are a criminal enterprise"

    AKA: Illegal (things) are a criminal (thing).

    No kidding! If it becomes legal, then it's no longer a criminal enterprise now is it? He needs to give a better reason why it should remain illegal than just because it's illegal now.

  2. Re:Not a viable defense on Judge — "Making Available" Is Stealing Music · · Score: 1

    I didn't RTFA, but were the MP3s in question illegal? Your analogy breaks down if the people ripped the music from CDs which they bought.

  3. I Smell a Meme... on In Australia, An Ebay Sale is a Sale · · Score: 1

  10. Re:flexible? on Finland Adopts New Copyright Legislation · · Score: 1

    i think the summary is trying to say that the old laws were flexible, and these new ones much less so.

  11. Re:Worse than "M-Rated" on Jack Thompson Tasked With Writing Law · · Score: 1

    ...after all Hollywood doesn't get dinged when someone underage makes it into a theater. Or when someone underage buys alcohol

    They dont? Well then, i propose new legislation as well: fine hollywood for every sale of alcohol to minors in the US.

  12. Re:Umbilical Cord Stem Cells? on Stem Cells Restore Feeling In Paraplegic · · Score: 1

    precisely. in TFA it states theyre adult stem cells (in this case which came form the umbillical cord), which are not harvested from living embryos and because of this dont require an abortion or any other ethically-debatable things to happen.

  13. Re:Uploading VS Downloading on Eight Charged in Episode III Early Release · · Score: 1

    It's much easier to catch uploaders in the act, since with most P2P networks their shares are publically broadcast/distributed/whatever you want to call it.

    to catch a downloader, you need to actively catch them when they're doing the downloading (in the case of distributed p2p networks like kazaa and such) which is much more difficult to do. when theyre done downloading, the evidence vanishes unless they go ahead and share that file as well.

    oops, i forgot to ask everyone to not mod me funny on my parent post

  18. Re:Don't take your GPS "everywhere" on Best Setup for Mapping in Undeveloped Countries? · · Score: 1

    was the parent modded funny because he said not to?

    heh.
    if so, here's a comprehensive guide i've written on how to word your posts here on /. so that you get the moddings you want:

    Step 1. for any troll/flamebait/whatever posts that could be modded down, say "i'll probably be modded troll/flamebait/whatever for this, but..." to get modded the opposite.

    Step 2. for any other post that might just fall into obscurity, say "dont mod me funny/interesting/informative/insightful/etc" to get modded what you said.

    Step 3. ???
    Step 4. Profit!!

    what i never understood was the scientific reasoning behind how a "long time ago" in a "galaxy far far away" a species identical to humans (so much to be called by the same name IIRC) evolved and is technologically superior by probably a few centuries to a millenium to us. Anyone have any ideas?
