Yes, that's exactly what he's saying.
Way to add a lot of value to the thread.
OK, so how else am I supposed to interpret the statement? If the masses aren't able to dictate what individuals are allowed to do, then how can we have laws against murder, or any laws at all?
If you think I'm not adding value to the discussion by asking obvious and logical questions, then that's fine. But I think it's of less value to make meaningless statements in the first place.
If the text says, for example, 'Virgin Killers is an album by [X band]...' you can guess the page is going to be legit. If it says 'cum see the hottest ch1ld pr0n0 & k1ddi3 pix...' well... you can guess what's going to be in there.
A 21-year-old porn actress doing boring generic porn, that's mislabeled in the hopes of grabbing attention?
Oh yeah, "The Free Market is the solution to everything!" A real sharp bunch of people believe that. You'd have to be hopelessly naive or ignorant to believe that libertarianism has a chance of working in the real world.
How many of you, when you see a cop car go by with someone in the backseat, think "hmmm... I wonder why that innocent person is in the backseat of a police car?" How many of you think "I wonder what he did?"
Neither response makes much sense. Why would you assume him innocent, or guilty? I would wonder "What happened?"
You trigger the event randomly, and have the observers press a button when they "see" it happen, and determine if there is any correlation with the photon meter.

Of course this was before corporations became powerful as Thomas Jefferson warned about.
So, your solution is to make them even more powerful by implementing libertarianism? Again - real sharp, logical thinking right there.
He is by the way a staunch conservative/libertarian
How the hell does that work? I don't think it's possible for someone to be simultaneously a libertarian and a conservative.
The point of open formats / protocols is that anyone can use them in their software including closed, proprietary products.
Not according to Richard Stallman, one of the pioneering advocates of F/OSS.
Because individuals are not the subjects of society. The masses should not be able to dictate what individuals can or cannot do for their own needs.
So, individuals should have the right to murder other people, if it suits their needs?
I won't bother going into the philosophy or economic arguments. Those posts are becoming unpopular on /.
You sad fuck, you won't say something because it is unpopular? You imply that you're a libertarian. How does that square up?
People will behave the same no matter what system they live in.
Which directly contradicts your libertarian ideals.
But insofar the government hasn't mandated us taxpayers to fund closed-source development, either.
You must have missed the couple of decades of the government almost exclusively paying for Microsoft software, on your tax dollar.
Librarians? Do you really think those book nerds have the backbone to run our country?
I use AmigaOS, you insensitive clod.
Well, you should have had the Intuition to realize that there was a problem, without being told.
What the hell does this have to do with the International Weightlifting Federation?

All mouth and no trousers...
So, it isn't pants, then? I'm confused.
You must be new to ubuntu.
Isn't everybody?
Actually try to cuddle a koala and it'll bite you, claw you, and shit on you.
Yeah, Karma's a bitch, ain't it?
port it to the Android.
...and she says, "That's not my expantion slot." So my friend says, "That's not my gold-plated 22-pin connector!"
Those who use demagoguery and not reason are the douche bags.
Exactly! That perfectly describes libertarians.
I bet you're actually an assistant (to the) professor of physics.
And they make better glam-hair-rock that's themed around launch vehicles.
Um, didn't they say that there would be NO ICE on the north pole in 2008?
No, but thanks for playing.

So far, that strategy worked for Apple ;-)

If this is the case, then how do large companies that have TV, print and radio advertising use Google for advertising?
Yes, but you miss the part where libertarians are douchebags who aren't to be taken seriously.
You trigger the event randomly, and have the observers press a button when they "see" it happen, and determine if there is any correlation with the photon meter.
