• On the post: Aussie Film Distributor That Pledged To End Movie Release Delays To Combat Piracy Delays Movies Anyway

  

  Kronomex ( profile ), 10 Mar, 2017 @ 04:05pm

  Graham Burke is a cretin. He's always screaming and raving about naughty Australian pirates and answering when asked by a journalist a couple of years ago about delaying movie releases with, "Because we can." guarantees that piracy will continue.
  Lego Movie was delayed by, I think, 54 days. In his generosity he's releasing Lego Batman a WHOLE 6 days earlier. Wow, thanks Mr Burke. Still not going to stop pirating of the movie.
  
  John Wick, Chapter 2 - almost ten week delay.
  
  One of the best delays recently was the film Priest (2011) with a delay of three and a half months. I had friends in the US send me a DVD when it was released over there and got it some weeks before it hit the theatres here.
  
  I'm also betting that him and Village Roadshow are big donours to the LNP government, who will bend over and part their cheeks for the big end of town.

  Of course Sessions wouldn't read those reports, they're fake reports and fake news from a fake president. Only The Donald is real.

  Re: If you're going to go back you might as well do it right

  Better yet, how about clay tablets and message runners.

• On the post: DHS Secretary Says Agency Is Planning On Demanding Foreigners' Social Media Account Passwords

  

  Kronomex ( profile ), 09 Feb, 2017 @ 03:06pm

  What happens to people, like myself, who don't use any social media at all? Do we become a threat because of that? What secrets are we could be potentially hiding?
  
  This is utter insanity.

  "We're sorry that the fax machine broke down and/or your letter got lost in the mail. We will now pass you to our FOIA recovery team who will be able to help you."
  
  "FOIA Recovery Team here. We are sorry that we cannot handle your problem at the moment. Please fax and/or post us and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Have a nice day."

  I see ridicule, parodies and digs (subtle or otherwise) at her for some time to come. To paraphrase, badly, a certain piece from Beethoven:
  
  Dumb dumbdumb dumb!

• On the post: Why Does The USTR Still Think Any Website That Might Upset Hollywood Is Illegal?

  

  Kronomex ( profile ), 27 Dec, 2016 @ 01:57pm

  "Why Does The USTR Still Think Any Website That Might Upset Hollywood Is Illegal?" Because lots and lots, ad nauseam, of lobbyists with lots and lots of money keep feeding greedy bloody politicians that's why.

• On the post: Google Finally Wins One Of Those Nutty Defamation Lawsuits Down Under

  

  Kronomex ( profile ), 22 Dec, 2016 @ 02:22pm

  He sued them once and succeeded and it's obvious he thinks he's on to a good thing so he'll have another go. This is about the lure of "easy" money and nothing else.

  I'm going to patent the word patent and then sue anyone who uses patent because I'll own the word patent. It's patently...oh goody, I'll patent "patently" as well. I'll be rich I tell you rich.In fact I'll patent all words that use patent and any other derivations of patent. The power, the power...

• On the post: Researchers Find Vulnerability That Enables Accounting Fraud, PwC Decides The Best Response Is A Legal Threat

  

  Kronomex ( profile ), 13 Dec, 2016 @ 07:24pm

  Could it be that P.W.C. didn't want the vulnerability uncovered? Nah, it can't be true, they're as pure as the driven snow.

  Re: Kronomex Fart corrected spelling

  How many patents has Francis been awarded? How many books did Francis publish with Springer Verlag? How many articles did Francis publish in refereed journals? How many companies did Francis built (sic)...
  "You show me yours and I'll show..."
  
  Sarcasm my well be the lowest form of with but it's just how I felt after reading the article. You presume to pass your judgement of me based on some comments I made without knowing anything about me. That's your prerogative but it also means I can now ignore without fear nor favour any further comments you wish to make in the future.

  What I think will happen as Obama leaves office is to do precisely nothing.

  "Magnegas" All I could think when I read that word was farts passing through a high powered electromagnet and being "distilled" into fuel. I can picture astronauts on diets rich in bottom burp producing foods lining up three times a day in the engine room to help fuel their spaceship with "Magnegas".
  
  Anyway, is there any verifiable evidence of Santilli's wonder invention? No, and I expect there never will be. All he can do is threaten to sue anyone while dodging the providing of empirical evidence for his pseudo-science.

  I have nasty feeling now that The Donald will soon be ruining...sorry...running the country that the copyright industry will concrete their rules and regulations into unassailable bastions of greed.

  Kronomex ( profile ), 15 Nov, 2016 @ 02:16pm

  My brain hurts after reading what could be boiled down to, "You're nice to us and we'll be nice to you." That twisted nonsense was written by lawyers and vetted by more lawyers.

  He's running with the saying attributed to Lenin, "A lie told often enough becomes the truth." in the vain hope that that is what will happen.
