Oh! Finally an article that follows slashdot's standards! I was getting tired of all that carefully laid-out logical arguments and clear reasoning. Nothing like reading an insult followed by a highly personal account of the facts that is deemed relevant by the poster because it supports with his/her ideas.
I think you're still commiting a federal crime if you are using a device for the purpose of interfering with radio communications. Call the train personnel if you are not in the mood to handle the issue by yourself with the offender. If you are robbed you are going to call the police instead of seeking justice by yourself with a gun, aren't you?
This story only serves to show the superiority of the Soviet System. I remember seeing the resume of my former Russian language teacher's wife, She had come to Brazil after marrying him, and under the Education section of her resume I saw amazing things like "-Moscow's Public School #5." So, in soviet russia, marks trade you... or trade marks you... fsck! whatever!
I always thought that cowardice is a crucial personality trait on most criminals. Now I've found some anedoctal evidence. I live in one of the most violent cities of the world, Rio de Janeiro, and has never being robbed or even harassed by a criminal, because of course they prefer to confront old ladies and seniors. So, you want your silence and you commit a federal crime to get the thing you think you deserve, right? I really hope you live in a jurisdction that have pretty stringent gun regulations.
In my experience, social pressure has been always pretty efective to make people stop using cell phones on theaters. At least here in Brasil, The few times a cell phone made his loud appearence, I am pretty sure the owner got the message and was pretty embarassed because of the crowd reaction.
How did you manage when there was no vaccine against polio to be used by your kids? How did you manage when there was no CT scans and you had a pretty fucking car accident? How did you manage to avoid being infected by meat with worms when there was no fire to cook it? How did you manage to travel cross-country for having an urgent surgery when there were no planes? How did you manage to avoid getting a nasty disease having casual sex when there were no condoms? How did you manage to avoid seeing you kids dying from a stupid throat infection when there were no anti-biotics? How did you manage to listen to some great music at your home if you are not grown in a family of virtuoses before recording equipment and amplifiers? How did you manage to proscrastinate at work when there was no/.?
People usually dies, you know, nobody is going to live forever. Be happy they live in a post-capitalistic society where the average life expectancy far exceeds the double of previous ages. But don't ask me to pay enormous amounts of money to extend the lifespan of YOUR loved ones by some 5 or 10 years.
Ok Morris,
I will reconsider my decision of firing you just because you slapped my daughter's ass.
You now can marry her if you want, and I am hiring you again as my chief PR.
Cordially,

There's a market for Fox News. There are people who give them audience. So, they give what their audience wants. The same can be said for CNN, and in fact any other media corporation.
Actually, it's not that bad as you may think. All segments of society have their own favourite media outlet, and also their own satanic evil media group to blame.
Youve choices, get used to it.
And btw, what matters is not some vague promise from the author of the proposal saying "No, take it easy, we will never use it against bloggers". What matters is what the judges will say based on that law. Just out of curiousity: are you affiliated with said politician or his party?
No. People may be uninformed, People can be misleaded, it may more or less dangerous in your country to complain. What is funny in your comment, and that this proposal, on its original form would be another restraint on free press, and thus, in the long range would increase the chance of more unjust and unfair laws being passed without a single complaint.
Oh. So it's more or less like. We used to restrain the freedom on traditional media, so what's the point on restricting freedom on the internet? And if a law needs clarification by it's owner because it's not clear enough if it applies to a certain situation or not, what blocks him from changing his idea after the law is approved? Man, you trust government too much.
I Agree, and I think that as Schumpeter has sadly predicted (or sort of) it's unavoidable. So, let's see this on the bright side: - No more Eminem - No more problems with obesity (it's hard to get obese with socialist-style supermarkets, unless, of course you are a high head in the Party) - Plenty of space on even the most crowded highways. - Your daughters will learn to play oboe instead of listening to Britney Spears
Of course, I will have to burn all my Rush's CDs, and that books are going to help me keep warm for a few winter also. But, as I said, it's unavoidable.

Well. If I was really sick the prospect of eating british food would only serve to make me feel worse. The move to France would be a very logical one.

Be sure you're not a jerk when using Brasso. Brasso pretty much fucked my ipod. The effect was something more or like Gaussian Blur + Add Noise.
Yeah, It's specially frightening here on slashdot, where the probability of someone getting a STD is pretty low.

You obviously lack even the most modest traces of a sense of humour.
Too bad for you. Here I am laughing out hard.
Err.... you don't know or......... You don't want to say it to us???
I can't hardly wait for 2038.
I only need to make sure I keep my copy of Stevens and Rago in a good shape till there.
Who was the idiot who modded this down?
Really, this was one of the best executions of the soviet russia meme I've seen around here for a long time.
And btw, what matters is not some vague promise from the author of the proposal saying "No, take it easy, we will never use it against bloggers".

Can you see that if it wasn't for the complaints the proposal would become a law, verbatim?
