  1. Re:FTFA on Damaged US Passport Chip Strands Travelers · · Score: 1

    SO WHAT? Does the term "irrelevant" mean nothing to you, you anonymous dumbass? They have the itinerary, they checked the passports, and the laws as is - from what I've read = don't require the RFID chip to be functional/valid.

  2. Re:Slashdot's silly double standard on Canada's Online Surveillance Bill: Section 34 "Opens Door To Big Brother" · · Score: 1

    And you're stupid if you think that the moderator pool is any indication as to the existance of "groupthink" or not.

  3. Re:Sugarcoat it all you want... on UK Student Jailed For Facebook Hack Despite 'Ethical Hacking' Defense · · Score: 1

    I don't think that was being called into question by the one you were replying to, but simply that the analogy is not the best in his opinion.

  4. Re:So what now? on Australian Police Spying On Web, Phone Usage With No Warrants · · Score: 2

    It's only the "I want to be able to infringe copyright" party to a moron who slanders instead of looking up facts.

  5. Re:I write software for a living. on Pirate Bay Founders Lose Final Appeal · · Score: 1

    Please, mod this jackass post troll - judged by his gross generalizations and contrived attempts at flaming.

  6. Re:Start at the beginning on Ask Slashdot: How To Inform a Non-Techie About Proposed Copyright Laws · · Score: 1

    Butt hey were too big and fat, so they all died and turned into oil. And then the Arabs came, and they all bought Mercedes Benzs.


    Shit, now I want to watch Airplane!

  7. Re:They won't win on Megaupload Lawyer Says User Data Will Be Held For Two Weeks · · Score: 1

    By bullshit, you mean like the gross generalizations, and dishonest painting of all /. users who post on a particular issue?

  8. Re:Obviously on Tenative Ruling Against Kaleidescape in DVD CCA Case · · Score: 1

    Since when was not ruling against kalediescape and being supportive of copyright laws ever mutually exclusive?

  9. Re:Helpful? on The Web's Worst Privacy Policy · · Score: 1

    Considering ALL godwin says is that the onger a discussion drags on, the more likely the reference to Nazis, Hitler, etc would be made, so what? The law doesn't do more than to point out an inevitability, and I wish SOME of the people out there who scream Godwin would get that.

  10. Re:It depends on Megaupload Shutdown: Should RapidShare and Dropbox Worry? · · Score: 1

    Allowing users to download copyrighted content" in of itself means nothing. Everything is copyrighted that can under current law, and the illegality comes from the sharing ILLEGALLY - as in WITHOUT PERMISSION. If I make a work, copyright it, and share it freely expecting / allowing others to do so, we're sharing copyrighted works legally. In before "you know what I meant" - MOST people don't, and that doesn't make it ok to be factually wrong wither.

  11. Re:This device empowers criminals. on NYPD Developing Portable Body Scanner For Detecting Guns · · Score: 1

    You're law-abiding until you decide to do something against the law, but you can be detained or arrested without actually breaking / or having broken the law.

  12. Re:wow on Anonymous Takes Down DOJ, RIAA, MPA and Universal Music · · Score: 1

    Don't internet tough guys get defined by talking tough and being in real life all bark no bite? Taking down websites en masse like that, being able to hack and disrupt websites, and DOING so doesn't sound, to me, like the definition of ITG.

  13. Re:Why not just pirate it? on Ubisoft Has Windows-Style Hardware-Based DRM For Games · · Score: 1

    Yeah, 'cause you're the absolute arbiter of what reasons are real or not, right. *rolls eyes*

  14. Re:Three hardware changes? on Ubisoft Has Windows-Style Hardware-Based DRM For Games · · Score: 1

    So? If it meets the textbook definition of an operating system, IT'S A FUCKING OPERATING SYSTEM regardless of who uses it or not, or any %s you throw - oh wait, if you had an iota of intellect, you'd already know that.

  15. Re:And they wonder why people pirate on Ubisoft Has Windows-Style Hardware-Based DRM For Games · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Hmm, seems to me you are taking the time to justify the fact that you have nothing more than gross generalizations and hollow arguments to make. Where's the "-1 moron" moderation when you need it?

  16. Re:Someone help me out here - business question on Protect IP Act May Be Amended · · Score: 2

    I thought the OPEN act was meant to be an ALTERNATIVE to SOPA.

  17. Re:If Khan or MITx were to install Slash on Do Online Educational Badges Threaten Conventional Education Models? · · Score: 1

    The way some of my profs talk about it, you'd think they were ready to strangle the people behind Blackboard with the problems it has.

  18. Re:Here's what you say on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Way To Deal With Roving TSA Teams? · · Score: 1

    Riding a subway is not a right. When you enter a subway station you are entering a secure area and anyone in that secure area can be inspected. You can decline inspection by leaving.

    Citation needed, bro.

  19. Re:Constutional rights on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Way To Deal With Roving TSA Teams? · · Score: 1

    Yout "truism" doesn't apply when it is on public property AND/or with GOVERNMENT agencies, or at least, in theory that [should] be the case.

  20. Hope people can do free addons on Microsoft To Offer Flight For Free This Spring · · Score: 1

    I hope that like with the MSFS series before it [having legit 2002, 2004 disks, and having torrented 95 for the hell of it] that even though THIS will be DLC driven that users can still do their own addons [scenery, airports, models, AI, etc] - and that there will be backwards compatability for aircraft models.

  21. Re:How many are hostile to copyrights? on US Survey Shows Piracy Common and Accepted · · Score: 1

    But music, movies, photos, paintings, etc are not ideas, but a combination of ideas. [just nitpicking]. And I personally don't see copyright infringement as complete loss of that control, since one of the features built in is the ability to go after those who infringe on that right... hope those thoughts make sense. I'm not a morning person.

  22. Editing fail on Net Companies Consider the "Nuclear Option" To Combat SOPA · · Score: 4, Informative

    "Alec Liu of Fox News reports that Amazon, Facebook and Google are considering a coordinated a coordinated blackout of the internet to protest SOPA, the Stop Online Privacy Act ... *SNIP*

    PIRACY act, it's the Stop Online PIRACY act. Talk about a grammar failure. /GrammarNazi.

    So, I get a CD as a gift. I got it legally, but didn't pay for it.
    Yeah, if you define it purely on payment or lack thereof when situations to the contrary are bountiful, you need to rethink your overly narrow definition.

  24. Re:EULAs on Sony Sued Over PSN 'No Suing' Provision · · Score: 1

    No ... just no. "you should have blah blah" WELL HE DIDN'T, really, what is the point of subjective opinions like that?

  25. Re:Stop Complaining About The TSA! on TSA Facing Death By a Thousand Cuts · · Score: 1

    Yeah, we should stop complaining about the TSA, the ineptitude, rudeness ,inefficiency, invasiveness that exists all because of a claim you make that doesn't exist logically, in actuality. Right.
