  Re:

  The Pro-Russian rebels are claiming that the Americans are supplying the Western-backed Ukrainian government with weapons. It'd be silly to raid their own ware house to find weapons supplied to themselves.

  Re: Your total evidence is trusting those who FAKED up the Iraq war.

  I can't tell if this is a serious propaganda troll or really well made satire.

  Of course, O'Donnell's was only licensing the rights of happy memories with her children. It's not like she actually owns them.

  Re: Can someone please explain...

  They probably do. But, the way Youtube works is the copyright holder, or rather anyone who claims to have copyrighted material in a video is given the benefit of the doubt. Regardless of fair use, or if they even have the copyright they claim, or even if the copyright they claim to have has anything to do with the video, anyone can send a copyright claim like nintendo did.

  Re: Going golden...

  yeah, you just missed it. The article you're looking for is one story up.
  
  But yeah there's lots of "mods" for toys. One example would be nerf guns, though that's more other types of mods rather than 3d printing. One toy sector I can see 3d Printing be really big is in scale model toys, like Gundams, trains, and ships.

  Re:

  Just a little PSA, for your friend, don't use a dildo made with a regular home 3D printer, it's unsafe and unsanitary. There are special services online you- I mean, your friend can find to make your own 3D printed sex toys that are much safer.

  Re: Meanwhile, on planet Earth...

  Actually, 3D printing is pretty much used by everybody in the engineering industry nowadays. Even NASA (speaking from experience).

• On the post: EU Digital Commissioner: Net Neutrality Is A 'Taliban-Like' Issue

  

  Watchit ( profile ), 09 Mar, 2015 @ 11:41am

  I don't see any relation between road safety and net neutrality. Or for that matter how Net Neutrality is in any way "Taliban-like"? What does "Taliban-like" even mean? Was Oettinger trying to make as little sense as possible so that people would be too confused to question his reasoning?

  So, what happens if someone steals a car to smuggle drugs and they gets caught and the car gets seized for being used to smuggle drugs. Does that mean the original owner gets their car stolen twice?

  Re: Re:

  some of the choices seem kinda arbitrary though. Unless it's some kinda mistake. Why include every pikmin game except pikmin 2?

  Also, it's worth mentioning that the white list of games one can register to monetize, popular games such as Super Smash Bro's, Pokemon, and Bayonetta are excluded.
  
  Why Nintendo would exclude Super Smash Bro's from it's list is beyond me considering Smash is so popular as an e-sport. With these rules, things like Twitch Plays Pokemon may never have happened.

  Nintendo should learn from Sega

  If only Nintendo could take a look at Sega and realize "Oh shit, our policy is ass-backwards" and get rid of their awful youtube affiliate program.

  Re: Upstream, folks!

  I guess my provider must be an outlier since I actually get 25Mbps up and 4Mbps down...
