.. Isn't really about racism or free speech, It's about this victim culture that we live in now where absolutely everybody reserves the right to be offended by absolutely anything and as a result expect action to be taken.
In the big picture, what he said wasn't all that bad. In bad taste, Insensitive? Sure, If you want. But the uproar following it is simply people stamping their feet for no other reason than they can.
compare that with the lowest human being and work your way up through the human being scale (if the chimp is better then the lowest human beings we have) until we find a type of human (most likely suffering some form of mental retardation) that is comparable with your average chimp. Then assign chimps the same rights as that human being has.
Can't we just give retards `chimp rights' instead?
How would you feel about getting a speeding ticket for a car that you didn't own and wasn't driving?
I would probably feel as though the state of my heath shouldn't be a factor... Which was kinda the point i was making.
The title might as well be "RIAA sues man in blue trousers in Michigan", It's about as relevant. Though it doesn't have the "victim factor" like being a stroke victim has.
I didn't know having health issues made you exempt from the law.
If having a stroke means you are immune from copyright suites my ingrowing toenail must be able to get me out of a speeding ticket or two.

It's not because I'm drunk, It's involuntary movements caused by the sound, Some "scientists" said so!
So even if i never watch (or want to watch) BBC shows i have to pay for the "subscription" simply because i own a device capable of receiving it. Sounds fair.
I can't wait until Microsoft use the same logic and force me to buy a windows licence for using my PC running Linux, Simply because my PC is capable of running windows.
The licence fee is the reason i threw my TV away. I still get the Capita Nazis (people who enforce the licence fee) knocking at my door asking of i have a TV licence, Then when i tell them i don't have one because i don't have a TV they ask if they can come in and check if i have a TV. At which point i simultaneously close the door while saying "no you can't, Now fuck off".
With all these "startup contextual ad providers" google must be shitting themnselves.
Either that or they, Like the rest of us, Know that if the thousands of other contextual ad startups didn't dent the industry, Neither will this one.
The factor that detirmines security is never the number of exploits found, It's the rate at which they are fixed.
I would rather have 10 flaws that are fixed in days than 1 that takes 3 months to fix.
Firefox is a great browser, But it's written in regular code by regular humans.
We shouldn't expect it to be perfect.

Sounds better than creed.

The 'hacker' uses windows and IE... As if being a scummy theif wasn't bad enough.

I didn't say having blue trousers was "equivalent" to having a stroke, I said it was as "relevant". You do know the difference, Don't you?.
So next time, before you get out your tiny violin and start trying to get the sympathy vote, At least have the decency to read the post properly.
