  1. Hulu will never be global. In fact, I don't think it will ever be available beyond the US or Japan.

  2. Re:Depends on China on N. Korea Could Face Prosecution For 'Crimes Against Humanity' · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and as with any lid on the jar, no air gets in, and anyone inside suffocates.

  3. Don't even bother, advertisers on W3C Rejects Ad Industry's Do-Not-Track Proposal · · Score: 1

    Advertisements of any kind are illegal on my screen. Adblock has really made it a pleasure to browse the Web again.

  4. Re:I implemented a teensy WWCB transmitter once on WWVB Celebrates 50 Years of Broadcasting Time · · Score: 2

    The power reduction is 17 dB.

  5. Re: And on WWVB Celebrates 50 Years of Broadcasting Time · · Score: 1

    WWVH doesn't operate on 20 MHz. WWV and WWVH also broadcast on 2.5 MHz, though.

  6. Kursks! on Spain's New S-80 Class Submarines Sink, But Won't Float · · Score: 1

    Foiled again!

  7. Re:I don't want on Adobe's Creative Cloud Illustrates How the Cloud Costs You More · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "Cloud" storage. And I'm not going to pay for it.

    Why would you? "Clouds" can easily disintegrate in a matter of minutes, leaving nothing but blue sky behind.

  8. Re:Simple on EA Repeats As 'Worst Company In America' · · Score: 1

    You really think that message of yours will reach enough people? EA's really just drowning you out, outspending you on advertising.

  9. Re:Why isn't there a precise atomic standard? on Standard Kilogram Gains Weight · · Score: 5, Informative

    The mass of X number of molecules of element Y = 1 gram.

    Like there is for the second:

    "the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom."

    Because we don't yet have an accurate-enough measure of the Avogadro or Planck constants.

  10. Re:Lucky for them bittorrent is uploading on Canada Prepares For Crackdown On BitTorrent Movie Pirates · · Score: 2

    You telling your computer to fetch the data you have no license to and make a copy of it (in memory or on permanent storage) is a copyright violation. Like it or not.

    Sorry, but I don't recognize copyright of any form.

    Period.

  11. Re:The holy grail on Police Raid Home of 9-Year-Old Pirate Bay User, Seize "Winnie the Pooh" Laptop · · Score: 1

    If the people really cared about this issue, they could get it changed via the ballot box.

    Won't work if all of the candidates are in the pockets of Big Money.

  12. Re:What Cox is saying... on Alan Cox to NVIDIA: You Can't Use DMA-BUF · · Score: 1

    Hey, that's why Linus Torvalds himself said, "Nvidia, fuck you!"

  13. It's clear... on Why American Internet Service Is Slow and Expensive · · Score: 1

    Big corporations are above the law. The only thing that can make them accountable may be a violent revolution.

  14. Re:Technically, Apple IS compliant. on iPhone 5 Scorns Standards Promise To European Commission · · Score: 1

    I totally agree they overcharge though.

    "Overcharge" as in money or as in electricity? :

  15. Good... on Astronomers Fix the Astronomical Unit · · Score: 2

    ...Now fix the kilogram.

  16. Re:Distance remains the same? on Astronomers Fix the Astronomical Unit · · Score: 1

    Yes, but the AU was supposed to have been based off the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun over one orbit of Earth around the Sun.

  17. Re:They should mesure it in miles. on Astronomers Fix the Astronomical Unit · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but I don't know what a mile is. And since my brain is hard-wired to the SI system, it's impossible for me to know.

  18. Re:prediction is difficult on Complex Systems Theorists Predict We're About One Year From Global Food Riots · · Score: 1

    Which will provoke a violent revolution against the monolithic companies behind those trollbots.

  20. Re:Outrage!??? on The Algorithmic Copyright Cops: Streaming Video's Robotic Overlords · · Score: 1

    Hasn't big media read Gilmore? "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it!"

  21. I think we've had enough... on Hugo Awards Live Stream Cut By Copyright Enforcement Bot · · Score: 1

    It's high time to just stop recognizing copyright altogether until the big media corporations finally get their heads out of their asses and finally accept the big picture. If they decide to fight instead, then it'll mean WAR.

  22. Re:No matter what the outcome actually is.... on Victory For Apple In "Patent Trial of the Century," To the Tune of $1 Billion · · Score: 2

    And your Pyongyang?

  23. Won't see the mass market on IBM Creates 'Breathing' High-Density Lithium-Air Battery · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Big Oil will just suppress it.

  24. Re:Protest by sending mail without postal codes on Canada Post Files Copyright Lawsuit Over Crowd-sourced Postal Code Database · · Score: 1

    Heck, you don't even need to include city and province in an address. You just need the house number and postal code. If there's a unit number, that can be added as well, but that's all the info you need to construct the rest of the address.

  25. Re:Stop Illegal Postal Code Sharing! on Canada Post Files Copyright Lawsuit Over Crowd-sourced Postal Code Database · · Score: 1

    This blatant and unlawful activity must stop. Every day millions of post items are sent with Postal Codes illegally and unlawfully printed on them by people not under the employ or direction of the Postal Service.

    We must start a campaign to get people to stop placing these postal codes on their post so that the Postal Service can rightfully keep their Postal Code System all to themselves.

    Just like in the 1970s, when postal codes were first introduced in Canada and the CUPW subsequently complained that the use of postal codes would put people who manually sorted mail out of work.
