  Re:

  For me or you? Probably.
  
  For NBC? Probably not. They have enough money for it to not be illegal.

  SWEET

  So, if I were Belgian and had an internet connection and this licensing went through and got paid...I could download everything I wanted to. 'Cause it's licensed. Rad. GG SABAM.

  Burden of proof

  Whatever happened to the burden of proof? Does WB simply have enough money to not have to worry about petty details like that? Or do the courts just not give a shit about it?

  Well, it'll probably end up being another commie-made piece of shit system, but GOD DAMN that's cheap and fast.

• On the post: Homeland Security Says Homeland Security Hasn't Abused Airline Passenger Info

  

  Jeffhole ( profile ), 07 Oct, 2011 @ 04:38pm

  Pff

  K, so even if they don't abuse the information (laughable claim), what exactly makes them think that other people won't get ahold of it and abuse it? The DHS doesn't have a good enough reputation when it comes to...anything...for me to believe that there won't be a cablegate-like leak. 10 million people probably just fired up a new version of LOIC...

• On the post: Forget Being Arrested For Filming The Police, Now They're Arresting People For Sitting

  Time for the Federal government to step in and make it a national requirement that all police/peace officers must wear, during all on-duty time, big dorky-ass hats with video cameras in them. The big ones, from the 90s, VHS. And they can't be shut off. And if the lens is covered, the officers stun gun will zap them and make them go "GURHKTTTPPPFFFF!" and fall over.

  Jeffhole ( profile ), 23 Sep, 2011 @ 02:33pm

  ok

  So...we just force-feed people from the CoC fake drugs. Until they die.
  
  Problem solved.

  god damnit...

  Whether or not it's the area in which they do the most suing, having lawyers give testimony on the search industry is like me writing a story on my dogs opinions on the current state of research in the field of particle physics. Yeah, they went to college. Yeah, they work a lot. Yeah, they generate a lot of paper. None of that means they know what in the fuck they're talking about.
  
  This week on will it blend: lawyers. Result: yes.

• On the post: Court Says Woman Can Sue Toyota After Being Tricked Into 'Agreeing' To Be 'Stalked' In Ad Campaign Gone Really Wrong

  

  Jeffhole ( profile ), 16 Sep, 2011 @ 02:50pm

  The question I'm still trying to answer is what sort of thought process leads anyone to think this kind of campaign is a good idea?

  
  
  Not a thought process, just weed.

• On the post: Congress Debating If Putting A Fake Name On Facebook Should Be A Felony

  

  Jeffhole ( profile ), 16 Sep, 2011 @ 11:51am

  Uh-oh

  I have a friend who is a writer. Several of the characters from his stories have their own Facebook pages. A few of the names aren't...well, the characters are from different planets, therefore their names are absolutely fake. So who goes to jail, there?
  
  Our government is out of control. We need to hit the reset (commence fire) button.

• On the post: Harlan Ellison Sues Again; Because No One Could Have Possibly Came Up With The Same SciFi Ideas As He Did

  

  Jeffhole ( profile ), 16 Sep, 2011 @ 11:15am

  For the lulz...

  The works of Harlan Ellison are available for free via bittorent.
  
  They weren't available this morning.
  
  I guess I'm one of those internet shitheads, huh?

• On the post: Benchslapping Judge… Benchslapped By Higher Judge

  

  Jeffhole ( profile ), 15 Sep, 2011 @ 03:26pm

  Yeah

  Frankly, this kind of rhetoric is not funny. In fact, it is so caustic, demeaning, and gratuitous that it casts more disrespect on the judiciary than on the now-besmirched reputation of the counsel.

  
  
  Don't worry lady, there aren't very many people who really have a very good opinion of the judicial branch of the government, anyway.
  
  

  Ultimately, this kind of excess, as I noted, reflects badly on all of us.

  
  
  That's kind of like one turd telling the other turd "The large number of flies you have all over you reflects badly on all of us."
  
  Can we please just give texas back to Mexico?

• On the post: Indie Game Developer Posts Game on Pirate Bay, Sees Positive Results

  

  Jeffhole ( profile ), 14 Sep, 2011 @ 04:28pm

  TINYBUILD, TO ME

  I'm a very casual gamer, don't play many games and the ones that I do play, I don't play very much. The games I play usually "come to me," meaning they're usually from big companies and are advertised to death so I know they exist without trying to know they exist, nah'da mean? Also, 99% of those games are pirated by me. Fuck Activision. Anyway...
  
  I played the pirate-hat release of this game and even though I probably won't play it too much, I intend to purchase this game. With money. Because of the pirate hats. When a company says "Hey Jeff, try this game, we customized a demo for you and your pals," I'll probably be interested in that company surviving.
  
  When a company says "Hey Jeff, buy this game without trying it. If you try to try it before buying it, you're going to get your dick sued off. We'll probably sue your little sister too, just for the hell of it" ...well, that company can fuckin' tank, for all I care.

  wait for it...

  Day 1: we finally get documentation of dark matter. Day 2: the Vatican sues the researchers for distributing images of Gods intellectual property.

  Jeffhole ( profile ), 09 Sep, 2011 @ 02:19pm

  Yep

  These things are the reason why I downloaded these ridiculous movies for my girlfriend rather than buying them. Once I explained why, she was all like "Cool."
