Well, in a roundabout way (and I'm sure the person you are replying to didn't mean it this way - they're probably just dumb) but since the U.S. government can and has granted monopolies to certain businesses, the voters can grant a monopoly by voting for representatives who would perform that action.
Probably Sony would claim that a violation of the DMCA would have to take place to go from DVD to PSP. Of course, that just highlights how bad the DMCA is.
You actually think I'd give out this UID to someone who was recruiting me for a position? I would tell whomever asked that I find Slashdot to be lacking in a number of ways (one of which being competant moderators) and that I choose not to participate in the groupthink mentality pushed by Slashdot. The fact that you think there are "good comments" on Slashdot tells me all I need to know about you. The only comments that ever get modded up on Slashdot are ones that conform to the prevailing opinion. You can't recognize this because you are smallminded and are not able to take a step back and see the larger picture. Of course, if this were the automotive industry - you're nothing but a used car salesman while I'm an engineer. In other words, you are stupid and beneath me.
"When someone replies to your ad, ask for their Slashdot ID. That and a Slashdot subscription will give you access to all their comments. A good way to judge the maturity of a candidate is to see how he or she communicates in casual circumstances like a Slashdot discussion."
Slashdot ceased being someplace where the intelligent took part in the discussion long ago due to Rob Malda's shitty moderation system. Asking someone for a Slashdot UID is basically saying, "We hire from the bottom of the barrel and assume that that is where we are pulling you from. Give me your UID so I can read your diary and we can post dirty talk to each other."
I am 100% sure you do not have a graduate degree and have never actually hired anyone.
"I live in northeast ohio and the closest center is about an hour away in Cleveland, so I figured my responce time would be pretty good. And it was, at least for the first 1.5 months. I'd get 3 DVD's in the mail, I'd rip them to my HD for encoding and backup (to watch later), and send them out the next day. The day after I sent them Netflix would confirm that they had them and send out the next ones. Everything in my queue had the "Now" availablity and I always got my top 3. Every return envelope was also addressed to PO Box in Cleveland (their closest dist. center)."
Well you're a criminal asshole so shut the fuck up about your problems. In fact, I wish the FBI would break down your door, kick your mother's teeth in, find you in the basement, and sodomize you until you can't take anymore.
"actually, my finace and I decided to a couple days ago and just haven't gotten around to it yet"
What the fuck does that have to do with anything? This isn't your fucking faggoty ass web-diary you stupid shit. No one gives a fuck about your fiance. I'm sure you're very proud that you finally got to touch a cunt but keep it to yourself. I also guarantee that she is an ugly twat and that you can't even satisfy her with your pathetic skills. I will be sending out my squad of 15 black guys to fuck her silly so that she decides not to marry you and becomes the true street whore that we all know she is.
Next time, keep the personal bullshit that no one cares about out of your comments and your whore won't be fucked by black guys - okay asshole? I hope you get diarrhea today.
So you think that the only time a red cross on a white circle should ever be drawn is on a noncombatant giving medical care during a conflict? Guess what bozo - it's a pretty fucking generic symbol. I'll draw it on whatever I like.
That garbage you mentioned about protecting international treaty is moot because, and hold on here, INSIDE A VIDEO GAME IT IS NOT A REAL LIVE FUCKING WARZONE YOU DICKLICKING ASSHOLE. The Red Cross should prevent armies from putting their symbol on combatants but it's not fucking hurting anyone in a goddamned video game. Shove a big black dick straight up your ass, pass out from the pain, and I will be around to make a red cross symbol on your forehead. I'll be using my jizz for the background and your mom's period blood for the cross.
"From a consumer perspective I want my google results to best reflect what I am looking for. If google has to delist fraudulent web sites to improve my search results, then they are just doing a good job."
The corporate website for a company should be the first listing returned when the search term is that company's name. Go suck an egg you fat fuck - you're 300 pounds of donut oil.
Ever notice how assholes who don't drink are so proud of the fact that they don't drink that they bring it up in every conversation even remotely related to drinking?
"I know several computer languages, including HTML, Perl, and the TeX typesetting system. I also have extensive experience with Adobe Photoshop."
Oh my goodness! You know HTML??? And Photoshop?? Tell me, and this is for all the marbles, are you proficient in Microsoft Word and can you send email??
GET A CLUE JACKASS, YOU'RE UNEMPLOYABLE BECAUSE YOU'RE STUPID!!!
Pleasantly surprised? It was fucking stupid you asshole. I can therefore conclude that you're fucking stupid as well. Grab a piece of fat and slide off you piece of trash.
Ignoring your blatant anti-American slant, the poster you replied to overstated the situation. The couch was previously available in the store for $2000.
You're stupid. How about that you stupid cocksucker?
Some of us are smart enough to use proper grammar without having to think about it. Sadly, you're not smart enough to use proper grammar but you've got just enough going on so that you can sometimes recognize proper grammar. You're the worst kind of scumbag because from time to time you can actually disguise your stupidity and fit in with us. I hope you rot in hell.
Nice job not answering the question. Just repeating your belief that Nintendo will sue doesn't make an argument. What law do you believe is being violated?
"There are still plenty of people playing the game online, and by this time, most of the morons have given up and moved on."
So there is a larger percentage of "morons" in the group that buys games early on upon their release than in the group that buys games much later? Anything other than anecdotal evidence to back that up?
Slashdot Mirror
So there's some news for you.
Only a moron actually believes something like that.
Tell me - would you rather have the Bush administration in power or the Ayatollah?
Actually, there is something wrong with it. Faggotry is disgusting and immoral.
Probably Sony would claim that a violation of the DMCA would have to take place to go from DVD to PSP. Of course, that just highlights how bad the DMCA is.
I would not hire you.

SUCK IT FAGGOT!
I hate that.

If being homosexual wasn't wrong, then homosexual acts would be able to produce offspring. Speaking of it as an evolutionary trait, it is a dead-end.
In some civilized countries, morons like you are drawn and quartered. I hope you fucking rot you piece of trash.
Pleasantly surprised? It was fucking stupid you asshole. I can therefore conclude that you're fucking stupid as well. Grab a piece of fat and slide off you piece of trash.
So I'll tell you what, go fuck yourself asshole.

(Please note: I hope you get diarrhea for being a worthless piece of shit.)

What law is being violated by the emulation of a NES? Please, let's hear what you think is being violated.
Sorry, I don't lease my video games.
