    Re: Obvious anti-patent bias, again

    Your own choice of words, "a dummy like me", is a mere shadow of the awful truth. Believe me, it doesn't even begin to describe your cognitive disabilities, and the more you prattle here, the more obvious it becomes. If I were you, I would block this site and remove the temptation to come here and demonstrate to the world how sparsely populated your cerebrum is. Really, you need to give this some more thought, that is, if you are actually still capable of thinking.

    The real reason he isn't discussing limewire and the piracy traffic levels is just to piss you off. Looks like he was successful in that. Now go back to weeping, wailing, gnashing your teeth and rending your garments, just like you always do when you come here. You're dismissed.

    Re: There's no evidence implicating the Iranian government

    Just the same, it's more expedient to blame them, bomb them, and bury them. Except for higher prices for pistachios, their demise will go largely unnoticed.

    Let us not overlook the obvious

    Because that is what corporations do every single day, all over the world, and they get away with it every time. Truth-telling is not only discouraged, but avidly punished by their leadership, and anyone on their payrolls with a propensity for honesty will be dealt with in the most severe manner. This is how it has been for a long time, and will be for an even longer time. Pretty simple, if you ask me. Anyone who actually expects a scintilla of truth from them should be in lifelong therapy, if not in restraints.

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Need for government oversight

    Actually, the main cause of monopoly creation in a market is lack of government oversight, and failure to enforce the existing laws. That is not truly causative, but it is mightily contributory. This is also not unintentional or accidental, at all. Of course, it all comes down to the corporate/government complex, which is far larger than the military/industrial complex, and has even less morals. The government's general unwillingness to prevent monopolies, coupled with the natural tendencies of corporations to seek monopolies, makes the creation of monopolies a foregone conclusion. Just wait until the AT&T and T-Mobile deal is done, and see what happens. You won't even have to keep your eyes wide open, either, but they will certainly widen involuntarily very soon afterward, and for a long time, too.

    Sony pay you much to disseminate this drivel? Looks that way to me, Zippy. Whatever it is you get, they deserve a refund. You've convinced nobody but your own lame ass, and it doesn't get any lamer than that.

    Re:

    "Imagine for a moment you're Sony's lawyers"??? I can't imagine being a more disgusting thing, no matter how hard I try. "Imagine for a moment you're Jeffrey Dahmer, and you've just had a rather unusual lunch" would be a more acceptable choice. Sony's lawyers fellate dead iguanas that have been decomposing for two weeks, and proclaim it morally upright and commendable. That's what you're asking people to imagine.

    I prefer the simpler explanation - that they are all simply crooked bastards taking money from lobbyists to pay for their hookers, trips, and drugs.

    Your grotesque simplification of the situation can mean only one thing - that you are a simpleton. See how simple that conclusion was to reach? You're welcome.

    Re:

    Your use of the term "scumbag lawyer" technically constitutes a redundancy. The only qualifiers that should apply to the word lawyer are things such as "dead", "disbarred", "jailed" and other non-subjective terms. Absolutely proscribed are things such as "honest", "charitable", "compassionate", "selfless", "human", and others similar in meaning or tone.

  • On the post: Phone Calls Are So Last Century

    The Devil's Coachman ( profile ), 24 Mar, 2011 @ 08:27am

    Re: Male?

    My wife and two daughters communicate almost exclusively via text messaging, and Facebook. The occasional voice calls are few and far between, and usually reserved for urgent matters or emotionally charged situations, where text messaging just can't convey that effectively enough. I don't remember the last time I actually called the wife from anywhere, about anything, and honestly think that is a good thing. We have only a few members of my family who are voice-centric, and I respect that, and their reasons for feeling so. I like the lack of immediacy inherent in texting, at least as far as our usage goes, and the forced conciseness makes getting to the point mandatory. This says nothing about the waste of time spent while on the phone thinking about a reply, or trying to remember a pertinent fact, which texting gives you the ability to complete at leisure. So no, I don't think this is a male thing only. I have always resented the past perception that if the phone rings, you must answer it, or at least screen the caller ID, and texting is a good solution to that non-existent problem.

    You left out a few pieces of conversation:

    "Did you send out for the hookers?"
    "That was your job!"
    "No, it was yours!"
    "No it wasn't!"
    "Was so!"
    "Was not!"

    "And what about the cocaine and Cristal?"
    "Not my job!"
    "Was so!"
    "Was not!"

    So, according to you, the legal system in the US is just a giant slow pain in the ass, and expediency should trump due process?

    Charlie is a steaming sack of monkey dung

    Actually, I probably shouldn't associate even the dung of innocent simians with the vapid heap of mindless protoplasm that comprises that moron's corpus and that of his equally mindless and doltish followers. His sole talent today is demonstrating to the public what an emotional meltdown is. Other than that, I'm sure he's basically a good person.

    Re: One giant step (backwards) for newspapers

    Like anyone cares what happens to newspapers. Or the RIAA, MPAA, or the legion of other litigious asshats suing everyone who ever downloaded anything in the last ten years. Screw them all, and if they went away tomorrow, they would be neither noticed not missed. Righthaven, like the rest of their bunghole contemporaries, is a bunch of blood sucking leeches looking to monetize fraudulent infringement claims. May they and all their apologists die in agony, preferably from a molten gold enema.
