  You're not supposed to vote on who you think will win; you're supposed to vote on who you think is the best candidate.

  Re: Re: Re: Overuse = Less Believable

  You're right, we shouldn't have piled on you for just suggesting writing advice, and we shouldn't have assumed you were a troll just because you're anonymous. I apologize.
  
  I think ridiculous pretty adequately describes this, though. ;-)

  Re:

  The other mistake, of course, is thinking that any President would actually want to decrease the power of the Executive Branch. They just want that power "in the right hands," i.e., their own.
  
  Call me naive, but I believe Ron Paul would. The again, I believed Obama would be more transparent, like he said, so what the hell do I know?

  Go ahead and link to your blog, so we can do it right, like you do.

  Then where are your citations? I'll wait.

  Oh, you don't know what indisputable means, do you?

  Well done, troll. You had me going until you suggested that a father not knowing the full business strategy of Mega Upload makes him "a cheap bastard".
  
  You did a good job otherwise; for a while I actually believed you were the sociopath you were making yourself out to be.

  Don't shoot the messenger, guy. I didn't invent the Internet. You'll want to speak with Al Gore if you have a problem with it.

  Re: Re: Re: Your quote is off slightly...

  Competition is a bitch, huh? Technology invalidated the monopoly status, so now, whether they like it or not, they get to play in the free market with the rest of us.
  
  The sooner they stop thinking "pirate = thief" and start thnking "pirate = competition", the better off they'll be.

  Re:

  I couldn't imagine trying to download anything of a significant size via a File Locker. It takes long enough downloading a 300MB android rom.
  
  File lockers are the least of their concerns. They also have a pretty significant legitimate use.
  
  It should be no surprise, but I think they've come up with a very poor strategy when it comes to "eliminating piracy".

  Re: Re: Re:

  No, it's far more of a stretch than that. To route around the fifth amendment, the judge said the woman had to unencrypt the drive or face contempt of court charges, but since she wasn't actually telling anyone the password, she wasn't being forced to incriminate herself.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

  When I go to a restaurant, I do not pay until I have finished the meal. If the meal is not to my standards, which is a pretty low bar when it comes to food, I will speak to the manager about removing the item from my bill.
  
  You must frequent a lot of fast food restaurants to have forgotten that you rarely pay for food without trying it first.
  
  I wonder how paying for a movie only after you have seen it, and if you are satisfied with the movie would affect piracy.

  Sadly, I was disappointed.

  No.
  
  No. No. No.
  
  If anyone controls the copyright to the video of the "performance", it's the person who put it into a fixed medium. The cops.
  
  I swear, there should be a basic copyright and economics test to complete before you can post without registering.
