    It's also useful to look at the opinions of people who you respect Ah, but there's the problem, you see. There's not a single person left in this world that I respect.

    so he is less beholden to these corporate interests I wouldn't wager on it. Given that, though, he may be more beholden to people who think they have more right to the sweat of my brow than I do, and I'm not thrilled with that, either.

  4. RTFM, not just a suggestion, but a great idea! on Atari Founder Proclaims the End of Gaming Piracy · · Score: 1

    Mind you Atari had jack to do with this technology. Bushnell hasn't had jack to do with Atari since leaving it in 1978.

    GL Atari, was nice knowing you. Atari has nothing to do with this story. Bushnell was speaking to a bunch of non-techies who, most likely, have not heard about the TPM module.
  5. It's over, kid on What's the Solution To Intellectual Property? · · Score: 1

    The moment you can say "I am a $POLITICAL_LABEL" your mind has effectively shut off. I no longer need to listen to you, and I can just go to Wikipedia or some dictionary of ideologies to see how your self imposed mental algorithm will react to anything. Ideology is the mind killer and breeder of robots.

    I always though an ejector seat and a small, rapidly deploying parachute might help. :-)

    Yeah, thanks, mind if I rescue my mom from the evil prison first???

    I beat the shit out of that old guy every chance I got. And he was invulnerable, which meant I could just hammer away on him until I got it out of my system. I sent lightning bolts right up his ass whenever I visited the Guild.
