  Re: Re:

  Anon can just aim "evidence" towards other people...that's happened before and UK police arrested people who tweeted they hated anonymous but had zero to do with them.
  
  Be kinda funny if the "evidence" of anon's attack pointed at the head of the RIAA/MPAA........just sayin'

  confused

  I don't understand why ANYONE is bothered about the Olympics.
  
  Crappy sponsorship, threats to arrest anyone wearing the wrong clothing
  
  and worst of all, the entire thing is fake and the medals have been pre-assigned based on upcoming trade agreements.
  
  Hell, the US at one point even tried to offer medals to those countries that would support ACTA even though they aren't hosting the damn things!

  Kinda pointless Novell winning anything when they're just a corpse reaching their skeletal fingers grasping from the soil of their grave, unwilling to pass onward....

  Fraud

  Maybe what Dan Bull should do is get the UK government to sue "lord" finesse for fraud, since its illegal to claim you are a Sir, Duke, Lord or other monarchy-approved title.
  
  Stick him in prison for a few years, see if he's happy to have stuff busted in HIS ass......

  Re: Re: Re: Campbell v Acuff Rose Music

  Except the court would find that lord finesse (who apparently doesn't own a dictionary and doesn't know the meaning of the words Lord (as in nobility) or the word finesse) made himself look like a douche simply by reason of his own existence.

• On the post: FDA Spied On Emails To Try To Silence Critics

  

  hmm ( profile ), 16 Jul, 2012 @ 08:23am

  well

  why not just have the FDA approve all FDA-criticisms.
  that way they can just 100% refuse all licenses without $100 million dollar bribes
  
  OMG the heads of the FDA have been taking bribes all the way upto july 2012 to pass completely unsafe drugs that cause spontaneous abortions and aneuryms? and would cream their pants for this kind of power?
  
  say it aint so!

  well

  Does ANYONE still believe rappers are realistically portraying themselves?
  
  The ones that say 'shoot the fags' turn out to be gay/bi,
  
  the ones that have 'talent' turn out to have all their songs written by a 74yr old lady (and have to pay her tens of millions of dollars in compensation)
  
  The ones that say 'kill the cops' turn out to be the ones most likely to file lawsuits and use legal means to enforce copyright etc....
  
  Rap is entirely fake, usually created by RIAA committe members sitting round a table (hey! we haven't had a small child rapper for a while...lets create lil'woofwoof or snoop puppy wuppy or whatever) and all this would be forgiveable if rap wasn't boring and trite.

  I think the biggest irony is that funnyjunk isn't actually oh whats the word....FUNNY?
  
  surely thats gotta be against some sort of trade-descriptions act?

  Re: To serve?

  How DARE you suggest Mandelson was bought off?
  
  thats disgraceful, because as anyone knows he STARTED corrupt before he even entered politics..his only political goal was to serve his hollywood masters.....and he blackmailed his way back into government multiple times.
  
  Hell he's been bitter and corrupt so long, his mother could have strapped a vinegar bottle to her chest and baby mandelson wouldn't even have noticed.

  I'm even starting to think of politicians, the RIAA and the MPAA as a single criminal fraternity since the RI/MP AA now pays most of congress and the senate far more than their 'official' salary.......

• On the post: Olympic Level Ridiculousness: You Can't Link To The Olympics Website If You Say Something Mean About Them

  

  hmm ( profile ), 13 Jul, 2012 @ 05:19pm

  well

  I still don't get why anyone is even bothered about the Olympics anymore.
  
  They've already decided that Poland gets a few golds because they signed various trade agreements with the UK.
  
  China paid ?5million to the IOC to win various martial arts sections...
  
  Basically every medal is already decided ahead of time...like Eurovision where countries ignore the songs and just vote for the country they have trade agreements pending...

• On the post: Hackable Irish E-Voting Machines That Cost 54 Million Euros Sold For Scrap: 9 Euros A Piece

  

  hmm ( profile ), 06 Jul, 2012 @ 03:45pm

  anyone that has a flawed voting machine is basically deliberately trying to game the system.
  the code required is simple and straightforward.
  code doesn't become "distracted" by women with enormous boobs and count the wrong voter, or decide you probably meant to vote for the guy with the nicest smile....it just does whatever is programmed for that selection.
  
  any system that doesn't count every single vote 100% of the time with a failure rate of 0% has to be deliberately designed that way.

  hmm ( profile ), 06 Jul, 2012 @ 03:43pm

  simple code

  All the code pretty much has to be is:
  
  do
  if vote=person1 then votes_for_person1=votes_for_person1+1
  if vote=person2 then votes_for_person2=votes_for_person2+1
  if vote=person3 then votes_for_person3=votes_for_person3+1
  until time=midnight
