Wow, I think my prescriptive grammarian school-marm eyes about popped out of my head reading this! His faux-handwritten soliloquy could've at least been spellchecked! Yes, F7 IS your friend, if you're a Micro$oftie. Hell, I would've been more than happy to proofread it for him.
Anyway, his point is relevantly given and way to call them out on it too. Unfortunately, similarities abound in far too many ways and gaming is no different. The "creation" entitlement extravaganza for "creative monopolists" also is rather disgusting to see in its excess too.
The tools to create quality digital multimedia experiences are getting easier to use and cheaper as time goes on. Technology is driving the whole "multimedia" chain of creation for these types of digital products and bringing down the cost of "content" creation as it is anyway. And besides, there will always be people pushing the creativity envelope with the tools that they have available to them and impressing everyone with their ingenuity. The problem will be trying to find those products out there if they don't get stifled by greedy corporations or someone "claiming" ownership to the "idea".
Having worked for the military for longer than I care to admit, I REALLY don't have any faith in what they can do in "cybersecurity" since they can't even figure out just "what" it is. The Air Force is the most comical of the bunch since they "obviously" know that "Space" is part of "Cyberspace" and should, therefore, have CYBER Command up under SPACECOMMAND run by "Spacemen" or Pilots or even Missileers rather than, oh say, in an agency with someone who just might grok what the hell it really is and what it should do (something about that "operational stink adding validity to it). Anyway, wishful thinking on my part and I'm hanging up my geek cred since it has been tainted by guvvie work, so I probably don't know what the hell I'm talking about.
However, if the US Gov't WERE so competent in their cyberspace dealings (in a Hollywood imagined reality) there would NOT have been a Bradley Manning in the first place and Wikileaks would have been Wiki-tightened before anything got out in a hot ASSange minute. The MafiAAs aren't even that good either so I guess I'll stick to free-tarding it.
And that's about all I have to say on those matters other than I also would not work at any of the aforementioned organizations since their leadership are either old-school military technophobes still trying to figure it out or DHS/FBI gumshoe detectives that can't follow the law as correctly as they should as is evidenced by all the techdirt articles and the incestuous relationship they have with Big Business, Big Pharma, Big Entertainment, and the MafiAAs.
Yup, you're right. Marijuana doesn't exist.
Just like utopia doesn't exist.
And double-negatives only equal a positive (except in Spanish where "Yo no sé nada" is still negatively connotated).
Sorry my logic offends you. But I don't know where you made the logic jump to MJ not existing.
Actually, they haven't been around for 2000 years. Their "religion" was officially legalized in 313 AD. Before that, they were just another religion. And yes, they DID enforce their "copyright" of the various and unorganized holy writs through the non-education of the masses, until the Gutenberg Press came around. That's the "True Power" of the word I guess.
Which brings up a prayer for the greedy (And yes, the Catholics are the ultimate since they plundered this planet and have MANY treasures stored in their archives because people aren't "qualified" to see such "evilness" as arbitrarily deemed them, because we all KNOW that they are QUALIFIED to judge what is and IS NOT "evil"):
Our father who copyrighteth all
Hallowed by thy trademark
Thy Kingdom legally enforced
Thy will be judged on earth as in the Holy court
For the Kingdom, the Power, and the corporate image
Are (y)Ours now and forever and ever and ever.....more
Enjoy this. And maybe one day they'll see the error of their ways and return their ill-gotten historical bounty to where it came from.
Too bad he hasn't done a version of "All Along the Watchtower" by Hendrix, no wait, Dylan, no wait....Jehovah's Witnesses! I thought religions had copyright on their material anyway! Maybe his "eternal" soul is part of the 144,000 that are saved, or atleast with his songs of passe nature. I'm just waiting for the JWs to try and DMCA him (or anyone else) for that.....especially since he is (like Scientology) one of their more public faces. The Artist Formerly Unencumbered w/ Idiocy.
