  Tell me again why Snowden isn't a whistle-blower worth granting asylum to?

• On the post: 3D Printed Copyright Creep

  

  Nastybutler77 ( profile ), 29 Apr, 2015 @ 12:41am

  One of the reasons that I backed the Tiko 3D printer on Kickstarter, besides the low price, was because they use non proprietary spools of filament, and allow any common file type. When it, and other low cost 3D printers become ubiquitous hopefully this proprietary filament nonsense will fall by the wayside thanks to good ole competition.

• On the post: A Residence With Locking Doors And A Working Toilet Is All That's Needed To Justify A No-Knock Warrant

  I'm sorry, but TD has a problem with cops using a warrant to go into a home that actually has drugs? I can understand the umbrage if they, say, threw a flash bang into a baby's crib and didn't find any drugs, but Tim glosses over #4 of the affidavit where the informant bought drugs at the home from the defendant. That seems like a big bit of information to ignore in this rant over police "overreach."
  
  There's plenty of stories you can find to show police behaving badly, but this doesn't seem to be one of them. How about everyone put down their pitchforks and torches for a moment, eh?

• On the post: Is Retweeting ISIS 'Material Support Of Terrorism'?

  

  Nastybutler77 ( profile ), 25 Feb, 2015 @ 10:03am

  (potentially criminal liability in the form of "materially supporting terrorists" for merely providing an open platform that anyone can use, you are more or less guaranteeing that important content, such as that which documents war crimes and atrocities gets banned as well. Is that really what Castle and Carlin are looking to do?
  
  You're missing the end parenthesis thingy.

• On the post: Sanctioned Revenge Porner Craig Brittain Says That Google Is Nothing But Copyright Infringement

  I'd love it if Google sent him a letter saying they'd be happy to remove those listings from their index, for $1 billion per delisting.

  Re: Re: Of course it's the owner's responsibility

  Sticks and stones may break my bones, but bot tweets are repugnant and must be stopped at all costs.

• On the post: School Principal Contacts FBI After Student Throws American Flag Out A Window

  

  Nastybutler77 ( profile ), 12 Feb, 2015 @ 03:16pm

  This principle could have used this as an opportunity to educate (odd concept for a supposed educator to be sure) the students about the history and significance of the flag. Instead we get this ridiculous buffoonery.

• On the post: FCC's Ajit Pai: By Making Sure The Internet Is Open And Free… It Will Inspire North Korea And Cuba To Censor

  

  Nastybutler77 ( profile ), 12 Feb, 2015 @ 01:57pm

  Ajit? More like Idjit, amirite?

  Funny how he fails to mention the fact America has lost its moral high ground because of the NSA/CIA's actions.

  "Since clothing the body serves as a useful function, costumes fall within the literal defdtion of useful article."
  
  Dafuq is "defdtion"?

• On the post: Less Than A Week After Failing Last Attempt, UK Lords Try To Sneak Through Snooper's Charter Once Again

  

  Nastybutler77 ( profile ), 02 Feb, 2015 @ 09:35am

  At least this will be a wake up call to British voters and they can get these four guys out of office next election. Right guys? Guys?

  No, Hitler loved the Olympics, he just hated Jessie Owens making his Aryian athletes look like chumps.

• On the post: Snowden Documents Show NSA Can't Keep Its Eyes On Its Own Papers; Harvests Data From Other Surveillance Agencies

  Wow. So I guess we really are the bad guy.

• On the post: Chris Christie, Port Authority Official Abused E-ZPass Data For Their Own Ends

  

  Nastybutler77 ( profile ), 21 Jan, 2015 @ 09:27am

  I guess I'm in the minority here.

  I don't see why everyone is up in arms about an official possibly abusing a government perk. How is this any different than calling out an official for misuse of a taxpayer funded credit card? Your boss gets a statement every month on your company credit card, so big deal. If you don't want to be held accountable, then leave your free EZ pass behind and pay the toll out of your own pocket.
  
  I have no problem with this. As long as it wasn't an EZ Pass he paid for himself.
  
  Calm down everyone and loosen the tinfoil a bit. ;)

  If your budget depends on asset forfeitures, you're doing it wrong.

  Yes. The last 8 and a half paragraphs are quite bold.

  Re:

  Yeah, well "A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. When the herd is hunted, the slow and weak at the back are killed first. The speed and health of the herd keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
  
  "In the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as its slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. Naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.
  
  "In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

  Anagram?

  Anyone good at anagrams? I'm almost positive "Tanya Cohen" is an anagram for something. You have H-A-T-E, and are left with "NYACON." Canyon? Maybe I'm way out in left field.
