    Or it could be flown to to fly it into to mecca or Seoul or LA or anywhere else thats the current annoying hot spot. Orbital bombardment will guarentee someone will not want to be trifled with. Oh, Star Trek was fiction for a reason. It won't hapeen because people are too greedy.

    Where I live you can't have guns, but people still find ways to be fucktards. Popular pastimes are throwing pavement tiles from overpasses, cutting or shorting cables and stealing bikes, street signs and street lanterns. No, I don't know what they use the street lanterns for.

    To Illuminate those dark underpasses?

    Have you considered that the powers that be found evidence on the fossil registry and covered it because it embarrassed them? So it isn't totally cliché. Its just that all the good writers have done it and are bored with it.

  7. Re:The viewpoint from two worlds on HDCP Master Key Revealed · · Score: 1

    I have to disagree with this. 'You really don't have the right to give all of the internet a copy of that Hannah Montana song' Actually if I do, it decelerates her faux career. Beside aren't we the ones in the US who decide where that is a right at all? I think its more of this: .'You really don't have the consent of the corrupt politicians who were bought off by the greedy media conglomerate whose greed convinced an moderately talented daughter of a one hit wonder country singer that she could be rich if she sold her given rights to them, to give all of the internet a copy of that song".I think that the concept of 'infringing' needs to be changed as well as copyright law. But I also think a giant Mural of the Bomb turban Mohammad should be painted on the side of the RIAA headquarters building.

    A DVD is a tangible good, no different than a book.

    Have they implemented a region scheme for books? Can a book be rendered illegible by a scratch? Is there some scheme in place to prevent you from quoting an except from a book verbatim?

    Yes, yes and yes. Does any of this affect its use? No.

    Get this through your head: The cost of maintaining a distribution network -- be it servers in a data center, theaters in malls across the country, or warehouses and trucks -- far exceeds the cost of manufacturing a physical article in bulk. And the cost of CREATING content exceeds them both.

    Thats not the problem, and never was. Its the management who insists on a 500% increase for the sole purpose of feeding their own bloated sense of entitlement.If they were paid for what they actually contribute things would be back to 1930s prices.

  12. Re:oh darn on Craigslist Removes Its Controversial Adult Section · · Score: 0, Troll

    You mean all prostitutes are prostitutes because they are poor? Don't you remember the girl which messed up the governors life? She became a prostitute in order to become rich very fast. I personally knew a prostitute which owned and rented several apartments. Some women try to find a rich man just because they want to become rich ASAP. What is the difference with a prostitute then? (except that some of them agree to be exclusive by signing a marriage contract).

    Yes she was poor alright. Poor in intelligence. Honestly who becomes a escort to become rich?

  13. Re:oh darn on Craigslist Removes Its Controversial Adult Section · · Score: 1, Troll

    Whats wrong? Poverty is linked to it. You want to see the bad side? Tell one of those girls you are going to fly them to your home. Those girls are poor this is how they live. They don't love sex anymore than you love working. they have too. Its the same anywhere. Prostitution exists because of poverty and lust. Which are you will to do? Go into a cathouse where they claim its clean but has cameras, bouncers, a cashier and a condom machine to pick a girl, or pick one off the street? Most do it because of the anonymity. And that has nothing to do with religion.

  14. Re:Dear Slashdotters, Thank you for your comments on 'u' — the First Authentic Klingon Opera On Earth · · Score: 1

    That's what worries me. That you actually believe there is a Qo'nos, and Klingons who live there. If there were Klingons. They would be of the type seen on Enterprise. And if I remember correctly they hated humans. So either you are insane or a practical joker.

    Or perhaps this is what he was getting at all along - we are Klingons.

    No, different groups of humans are different races from Star Trek.

    For instance, Americans are Ferengi, with their credo "profit ueber alles".

    Thats not true. Ferengi have huge ears and all their women were naked until the reign of Grand Nagus Rom. American women aren't all anked. if they were American men would alternate vomiting and fapping..

  16. Re:"Indigenous Klingon instruments" on 'u' — the First Authentic Klingon Opera On Earth · · Score: 1

    I'm curious as to how there are "indigenous Klingon instruments" in this, when there's the small fact that KLINGONS AREN'T REAL.

    Yes, but they think so. and Klingon is the only language recognized but the UN as a living language with no native speakers. Yes, you can request a Klingon language translator or speak to the UN in Klingon.

    You know what, before I die I will create a program that posts random predefined messages to my Facebook account after I have died. One of the morning messages could be "having a morning coffee with satan" and late night message could be "man do I appreciate cold beer right now".

    You only die once. The least you can do is have some fun creeping out people about it.

    Please do. Include references to the 9/11 hijackers torture and you have win.

    I have a friend who is an actress on one of the bit movies they show. I am proud of her, and the show is cute. However, as much as I want to support her, escapists idiocy is unforgivable an I won't be a part of it. And when I talk to her next i will tell her. Ads are revenue and everyone deserves to be paid. However, banning someone because they discuss a problem with a ad causing issues with their system is foolhardly at best I have never visited their forums and will never go to the site again. It disappoints me because I will have to get to send me the end now. After for mister stfu/ I don't ddon't use adblock because I happen to like ads. They amuse me. But I won't people force them on me.

    Lets see, I choose a browser that has never made it through the first day of Pwn2own and known for its tremendous bugs, drivebys and and had the EU force its parent company create a way to remove from the OS it also builds and sells. Or I can choose a browser that no one wants to attack at the same conference (not because of unhackabitity but because of the length of time required that yea has a combined bar that can be turned off and is free. Mind you your info has been on the internet since '97 and Privacy as your father knew it is an illusion. I think I will opt for the second one. IE is a old, rusting screen door. Horrible for everything but tropical summers. Chrome is a metal door with a peephole drilled through. It has issues of its own but when its ten outside it still functions to keep out the cold, the weather and anything else you don't want in. Yes the key is easy to make. But that requires skill and time to get through. IE requires a box knife.
