Is Baise Moi-
A)a French film I downloaded in this time period,
B)What the MPAA would do to me IF I downloaded a film,
or C)What Nicolas Seydoux is trying to do to reality.
Send me your answers attached as a .txt document to torrents of anything starring Gerard Depardieu.
See, what Joe is doing above (aside from trolling) is known in rhetoric as Demanding Negative Proof. He asserts that the clip is not fair use while demanding that Mike is responsible for providing the proof that the clip is fair use and refuses to advance the debate in any reasonable form even though Mike has in fact answered his question and provided the proof requested. This shows that Joe has no intention of engaging in a logical and rational exchange of ideas but instead is trapped by his own informal fallacy and thus his argument is, at its core, defective.
To add my own fallacy (known as an ad hominem) joe's being a stupid git.

Spot on. cheers. However, the chances of the MAFIAA's seeing it that way are something akin to a snowball in hades.
Zellamayzao & RD-
Have you checked out the Vuze client yet? Yes, I love me some streaming netflix, but for those 'just don't get it streaming' hard to find things, try the torrents. and now that the studios are going to try and bust netflix, well, i'll be spending even more time in the dark dirty stinky back alleys of the intrawebs. thanks studios, i'm sure this is the intended consequence of your actions.
I'd like to see money thrown at the problem of building skyscraper farms (think produce- fruits and veggies) for use in urban areas. That'd be fun- probably beneficial in some way too.
Next, I'd like to line every street in this country with some sort of magnetic energy bearing strip, then move forward in two phases: First, get every individual an converter kit so their cars will adhere to, be driven automatically by and powered by these strips, and second, start phasing out personal vehicles altogether and replacing them with taxpayer bought public cars that are able to be ordered online and are usable by everyone as a massive public transit system nation wide.
Finally, I'd like to see pigs crossed with sables/minks/martens. We can harvest their fur for clothing and eat their tasty flesh. Think how long the strips of bacon could be!!! YES!
Yeah, the GPL takes it. Skype gave up. More info here: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20080508212535665

Interesting to see the parallels between online reps and the idea of 'whuffie' put out in C. Doctorow's 'Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom'. You can read it online for free. That said, if someone's putting bad stuff out there about you, counteract it by getting friends, family and even yourself to put good stuff out there about you, duh.
I never knew there were so many whiners in the Techdirt forums. What a bunch of wussies. Did you even read the guy's site? He documents everything and even though IANAL, I find his legal arguments convincing. The fact that the EFF is backing him up surely says something. Now, I'll still buy stuff from Lowe's, but I'll be danged if I ever let them or their sub-contractors ever install anything in/around my home and I'll make sure everyone I know does the same.
I work for a consulting firm that utilizes a company in India for the mundane overnight tasks of patching and backups and server/desktop event monitoring. During the day we here in the states handle the fires, do hands on work and engage clients. So far it's worked out well for all, and I look forward to a long and healthy relationship with my compadres in India.
I can't wait to get my hands on this one. The first was so enjoyable, what with digging out bad guys' eyes with shards of glass. Frankly, it was a wonderful stress release. And anyone who says games lead to violence, show me the studies, with PROPER methodology. correlation != causation. EOF
you'd find that a)he's married, b)he's suing the guy who caused the accident and c)he had a job before the accident, but lost his job because now all he does is play cell phone games. do we know if he's faking? no, but it's probably pretty serious since his wife's leaving him (what wife would want to leave a husband that wishes to make lovey all day?). So no, the gov't isn't paying him, it's someone elses insurance company, and having recently been through a settlement for a life changing injury (my life changed, not someone else's) I say good on him and get all ya frickin can.
Yeah, it doesn't have car crashes, gunfights or boobs, so it must be COMPLETE CRAP.
uh huh, go back to listening to Britney and watching Schwarzenegger movies, you hack.
Indie films have emotional depth, character development, storylines that aren't schlock and actual ACTING. Don't believe me? Try 'my own private idaho' or 'spanking the monkey' or anything else on the Netflix indie list or hey, if you can read well enough (which i doubt you can judging from the spelling errors in your post) you could even try a foreign film with (GASP) subtitles. Indies aren't often heard of because they don't have the huge marketing budget that the major studios have, but trust me, their films are just as good and some are even better.
I quit listening to anything but NPR about two years ago, and even then that's only one or two days a week. Let's hear it for books on cd! If you don't think the airwaves are the tool of the corporate oligarchy, you're more deluded than Ann Coulter.
when my grandma showed me how she'd setup a ddos against some 'insurance' site that tried to scam her outta money then put her on a telephone marketer's list after she'd signed up at donotcall.gov, i' figured she's doing just fine with that whole intrawebs thing.
So here's the question then:
Is Baise Moi-
A)a French film I downloaded in this time period,
B)What the MPAA would do to me IF I downloaded a film,
or C)What Nicolas Seydoux is trying to do to reality.

Hard to keep secrets?
@Johnny Canada-

If you go through the emails, you see just how frickin' bad this is for MediaDefender. I do so hope the mainstream news gets ahold of this one.

ummm....it's too early for my sarcasm detector to be fully operational, but i sincerely hope pitchfork lady's just yankin the collective chain.
if not, i guarantee there are a giant list of reasons why source code from voting machines should be open and transparent.
anyone have a good link to where those are documented? i don't feel like typing that much here.
thanks,
