    Re:

    I also thought of 1984 as I read the quotes.

    For some reason I think this is written by very old people that really have no clue of how the internet works and the impossibility of what they ask, or by young conservative morons.

    Why does the world have people like this?
    Can't wait to move to another planet with no morons allowed.

    Looking at how they like to bill for every second working, they'd probably try to charge songs per byte.

    Like China is doing a great job of stoping piracy

    And why would he even name China, the country where they get pirated the most? even with all those useless blocks.

    If he actually had it his way, piracy would only be even worse.

    The labels need to know that they're running out of time, every day that passes it's easier for content creators to not depend on them to create, market and distribute their content.

    Young filmakers who grew understanding that free gets everywhere with today's technologies are turning to file sharing and youtube and making a lot of money when they remove distribution costs and geographic borders from the equation.

    Had they used all the money they've spent on attorneys into building their own version of netflix or a kick ass rental system online piracy would've been at an all time low right now.

    Convenience and choice is the best enemy against piracy.

    No cellphones while driving would be better

    The amount of people driving and texting/talking on the phone in Miami is ridiculous.

    Instead of traffic light cameras they should fine people engaging these behavious, they would make a lot more money and there wouldn't be so many dangerous zombie drivers out there, not to mention that the average speed of the city would go up if people were focused on driving, not talking.

    Hi, this is not true.

    As one of the members of the FrostWire/FrostClick team, I'd like to say that Georgia Wonder did not pay the Pirate Bay or FrostWire for promotion. This is a completely free service we're offering from FrostWire to content creators that actually deserve it. We do this absolutely for free.

    The popularity discrepancy seen, is the result of the intersection of part of the frostwire community downloading a 100% legal torrent from the pirate bay.

    In short, they did not pay, but yes, they got free promotion by FrostWire.

    For more details on how bands and content creators get the free promotion on frostwire, visit http://www.frostclick.com

    Re: Not a great idea, for engineers anyways.

    I don't know what are you talking about, I'm here on an H1B, and every month I get over 15 invitations to interview for IT companies, this country needs talent.

    here where I work, I'm lucky enough not to have my H1B as a dagger on my neck, and we're willing to hire talent, no matter where its from, if its american better, less hassle, but sometimes companies have a need of people that have very special skills and you just feel like its very hard to get them right here, most of the good people are taken, or they're way too expensive cause they know they're pretty good.

    And H1B's are supposed to be paid fairly like an american employee, the H1B is not for people to come and "learn" skills here, its actually a "Special Skilled Worker" visa, you get it because you already have the skills that a company couldn't find in previous attempts to hire american citizens.

    The IT market is awesome at this moment, there's way too many jobs.

    Here's a detailed list of technicalities that describe why the oposition candidate stands no chance against the president with the crooked voting system:

    The paper trail isn't binding it seems... it wouldn't do any good to reconsider the results. Shit will go down in our country no matter what.

    The international observers are mostly pro LEFT...

    God help Venezuela, and Latin America, we have to all go to vote to make it impossible to cheat on us, even if he has the "dead" people voting for him.

    If you don't believe me go to the vote registration web site, and check for the following ID numbers...
