What you are saying is that instead after the most movies made ever, and the most profit ever, the evil movie pirates are destroying their busniess STILL, based on your rigorous statistical analysis and totally out of line reference to the horrible disease, AIDS.
What you are saying is that the Movie Industry made more movies, and more money than ever before, despite their claims of piracy hooligans destroying their business, but that it's all an illusion based on your rigorous statistical analysis, and out of line reference to the horrible disease, AIDS.
You are completely incorrect. See the other posts.
Take a small anecdotal sample. My girlfriend and I, entering a WoW Battleground together, have about a +200% chance of winning it compared to us entering alone. Just us two working together.
Our RNG hasn't changed but our strategy, tactics, and focus have.
If the international community wanted to get tough on Iran and China for jailing "journalists", they would. They wouldn't need some flimsy 3 hoop excuse relating or not relating these journalists to intelligence agencies. The connection, real or not, is of no meaning to international politics.
The international community is not as tough as some people may want about jailing these journalists because they don't care.
Step back and think about the big picture, do we really want brilliant leaders across the nation focused simply on regulatory compliance? What a waste of human potential!
Hi, you've met reality right? 99% of what goes on in this world is a waste of human potential.
I work at a news web site. A while back, we had a troll come through (drenching sarcasm, driven by 90+ wpm). People on our forums started modding him down, reducing his comments to irrelevancy. People, including some from our print group, were marveling at how online participation and comments in the news can provide so much value.
"Try doing that with a letter to the editor," I observed as I walked by.
Name calling threshold exceeded! Activating counter-measures!...
You are consistently an arrogant condescending jerk.
If you don't know this already, you're not looking.
Welcome to the truth.
I'd spank you if you were my son, adult or not I'd make sure you learned RESPECT.
I'll first let you know that I have much education in cellular/molecular biology; I am qualified to explain this rather elementary biological concept.
I will try to keep this simple:
Let me know if this is clear enough. I can reword or dig up some literature for you if necessary.
Intuition and knowledge = answers.
Please don't tell me you're so naive you don't realize these things about business and politics.
Dude, cherry picking articles that are convenient to preserve ignorant opinion won't get you far with me.
And those are just from the first 10 results. I've informed you plenty; from here you can accept new information and begin to learn, or you can ignore it
Stfu crybaby.
lol.. boy are you blind and selfish.
There is an old term called 'think outside the box', though I doubt you've got the vision to truly do so in this case. I'm sorry.
Would it be wrong for me to think you may be insecure?
You are also a raging hypocrite.
The day we stop acknowledging race and sex is the day we will find equality.
Are you hormonal?
cowards/insecure-bimbos
enter the world of manhood.
your manhood rests around 14.
From here I assume you will become irrational so I will leave this conversation now.
What a copout. Quit, go ahead. That way you won't have to prove anything.
So, in closing:
Thanks for being a douche, I love it when you attack me and pretend I'm stupid.
It refers to enemy prisoners of war, left on the field of battle and in possession of their foe. It makes no provision about valid targets or methods of destroying one's enemies.
You suggested to the original poster "Go read the Geneva Convention." I return your advice, with this addendum, "s".
The point I am making is this:
Holy Shit, what enlightened societies are you talking about?
"Hey guys, it's not really ok to kill people, but you know, if you have to, just don't kill the one's who can't kill you back, ok guys?" Fucking rubbish. It. Doesn't. Work. Like. That.
If you want a real "Geneva Convention", I'll set it up for you right now: Don't be a douche bag, don't hurt people, and...
DON"T FUCKING KILL PEOPLE YOU MORONS.

According to your assertions, "enlightened societies" will agree, sign, and be on their merry way. But guess what the only problem with the Slashdot Conventions(Simplified 2009) will be?
THE SECOND SOMEONE IS GETTING DOUCHED, HURT, OR KILLED, THEY ARE GOING TO VIOLATE IT.
OH NOES, the reading comprehension argument...I'll make a feeble attempt to rebut you...
The GP was referring to "Total War", not "War as defined by the Geneva Convention". He was even kind enough to define it for you:
"That's what total war is. Every resource of the nation-state is poured into the war effort. Every resource of the nation-state becomes a valid target." I guess that makes my reading comprehension fine, and yours a little off.
You also have a small problem with time lines. GP explicitly cited World War II and the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan circa 1945. The Geneva Convention was held in 1949 (I wonder what spurred that?). I guess "moral war" (HAHAHAHA) wasn't even defined yet for the referenced combatants or us thicky slashdot neaderthals.
It seems that the only thing irrelevant in this thread is the Geneva Convention.
If you think that there are NO countries, signatories or not, that would violate the shit out of the Geneva Convention should it suit their purposes; you are more than ridiculous; you are criminally naive.
It's a freaking piece of paper, and more useless than most.
I am sick to death of Comcast. Everything about them is terrible, and I have no choice in service.
HD DVR: - Service is occasionally blocky and disruptive to viewing. - The recording software is garbage. - On-Demand breaks nightly. Yes, I have to call every day for them to "turn it back on". They can't seem to find the problem. I'm positive the problem isn't with them cashing my fucking checks.
Internet: - It's Fast. - It resets 2-4 times per night. - Used 3 different modems and 3 different routers, same behavior.
Given a choice, I would have dropped them two years ago.
Slashdot Mirror
right on.
So...
What you are saying is that instead after the most movies made ever, and the most profit ever, the evil movie pirates are destroying their busniess STILL, based on your rigorous statistical analysis and totally out of line reference to the horrible disease, AIDS.
???
Profit!
Sooooo....

ok !
3322 4232... HEY !
tldr
Can you give me the Google Summary (tm) of what you just said?
For shits sake, we need a READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE moderation point, -5. -10 !
Step back and think about the big picture, do we really want brilliant leaders across the nation focused simply on regulatory compliance? What a waste of human potential!
Hi, you've met reality right? 99% of what goes on in this world is a waste of human potential.
Including this post!
You might have point thelsovist, but a word of caution:
kdawson has been known to make inflammatory and unpopular statements.
For what it's worth.
Is that you Steve? Bill and I are coming over to your house, you better has some fucking answers for us.
Nobody leaves [Bloodhound Gang].
Nobody.
Make him stand under the bridge?
Dont be an idiot, the best use of that cash would have been to give it to me ! OBVIOUSLY.
It must be so taxing, no one understanding you.
How do you get through your days? And nights?
Do you think about your mother? Your father?
Does "Ciao." mean you give up?
Value.

I'd hate to know how you cowards/insecure-bimbos take any real commentary or criticism in life
Oh Hypocrisy, thy name is thee.
Nah, he's right.
"Think about it." *is* condescending, and completely unnecessary to make your point. Think about it.
Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way.
Sorry for being belligerent.
You called the original poster ridiculous, and cited the Geneva Convention.
The difference in what you and he said is the difference in what should be, and what is.
Do you mean this 1906 Geneva Convention?
