  1. Re:Ads are amazing on Adblock Plus Developers To Allow 'Acceptable' Ads · · Score: 1

    What you're really saying is not that the internet can't exist with ads, it's that the world can't exist without consumerism, and somehow people are "lazy bums" if they don't share this belief... I could easily argue that people who subscribe to this dogma are too lazy to fight for a better way of life.

    Congrats! You've done something which most of us have been doing for years...

    but can you link it to the inverted phase-induced sub-space harmonic protocol analyzer to initiate a modulated tachyon pulse?

    Invisible pink unicorns

    You've just proven my point. You believe, without any evidence to prove it, that invisible pink unicorns do not exist on this world, or any other. To me, that is religion.

  8. Re:Obligatory turd in punchbowl on Fighting Mosquitoes With GM Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure mosquitoes are working on a GM human that also has flightless offspring.

    I think when you close your mind enough to not even acknowledge the possibility of something, you have stumbled into religion

  10. Re:observing a lack is not proof on Is There an Institutional Bias Against Black Tech Entrepreneurs? · · Score: 1

    A car will not, except for prodigy reverse engineers, be enough in itself to provide an education on rebuilding engines. Unlike cars, computers can, in themselves + internet, provide all or nearly all the information necessary to build them (even from a circuit level), program them, network them, whatever

    Well, if you're going to include internet in the computer category, then you might as well include driving to the library in the car category, which would make them equivalent... You could easily drive to the library and learn all about building cars, same as using the computer to access the internet...

    They're both horrible people: the judge for beating his daughter, and the girl for blackmailing him over it.
    If she wanted him punished, she had the chance. She didn't. She wanted money from him.

    If that's the case, I'm definitely getting a permit.

  19. Re:Price discovery make distribution efficient on Retailers Respond To HDD Squeeze By Limiting Purchases, Raising Prices · · Score: 1

    There is no shortage because retailers are hiking prices

    Bull. That's like saying the rock on my desk is preventing lion attacks. See? No lion attacks. It works! You don't get to raise prices based on the possibility of a future supply shortage. Just like you can't predict a shortage, you can't predict market demand. Sure there could be a shortage in 6 months, but demand for HD's could also suddenly plummet in the next 6 months, and then like magic it's balanced. I wonder why the retailers don't lower prices based on the possibility of a drop in demand... oh, right, because that doesn't let them gouge customers...

  20. Re:Also, people are dying on Retailers Respond To HDD Squeeze By Limiting Purchases, Raising Prices · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure you have perspective. Do you have any idea how many natural environments and indigenous species of plants and animals were permanently destroyed to populate those areas in Thailand? Or even your neighborhood? And all you think about is the 300 humans...

  21. Re:Price discovery make distribution efficient on Retailers Respond To HDD Squeeze By Limiting Purchases, Raising Prices · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is definitely gouging. There is no supply shortage yet. Retailers are hiking prices on the anticipation of a shortage, which may or may not come to pass. There is a definite difference.

  25. Re:Music on The Case For Piracy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not me. The only time I will ever buy music is from the band itself at a show, or directly from the band online. Or unless I know that the publisher has absolutely no ties to the RIAA or any RIAA-related entity, which is pretty hard to determine. Anything that comes out on an RIAA-related label I will download illegally, in hopes that artists will eventually stop signing to those bloodsuckers. Yes, it hurts for the artists, I make no illusions about that, but when you make a deal with the devil you must accept the consequences... Stop signing with RIAA labels and you will get my money.
