• On the post: Larry Lessig Goes Even Bigger: May Run For President On The Single Issue Of Money In Politics

  

  Nigel Lew ( profile ), 11 Aug, 2015 @ 09:52am

  He needs to throw his cash at Bernie Sanders. What is Lessig's foreign policy stance for instance? Anyone have any idea, at all?

• On the post: News Corp. Makes Copyright Claim Over News Corp's Live Video Stream Of The GOP Debate

  I have dish network. I do not have a box for it in my room so I just use dishanywhere and stream stuff.
  
  At 6:30pm fox news had a listing in the guide showing Oreily but the guide was empty after that time slot. At 7pm fox news was not in the guide any longer, at all.
  
  So, I floundered over to Fox online to watch it there. It didn't work. Dish Network was not even in the list of providers to sign in with so I used both facebook and twitter logins on FOX. Neither worked, at all. No stream.
  
  It took me more time dicking around with my legit already paid for options than it took me to go find a pirate stream so I could watch it.

  We should all hop over to our respective AG websites and file a consumer fraud complaint, against them, for wasting tax payer dollars on money grabby bullshit. This needs some traction in local media.
  
  Off to see who is hurling cash at my AG.

  Re: "we have now published the updated draft" After only THREE MONTHS? Slow down, you reckless devils!

  Great stuff. Glad I had a few minutes to watch it.
  
  Its sad the ignorant git above me fails to realize that panel was comprised of companies that actually innovate and do stuff.
  
  I wont bother trying to explain how and why policy makers make that sorta thing damn near impossible to you.

• On the post: Expired Bogus Patent On Basic Computer Firewall Now Being Used To Shake Down Lots Of Companies

  

  Nigel Lew ( profile ), 29 Jun, 2015 @ 05:08pm

  TIL there is such as a thing as a firewall you can't actually configure. Which would frankly render it entirely useless. Even in the year 2000.
  
  Welcome to the internet Austin Hansley P.L.L.C. Prepare to get throttled.
  
  Nice website those folk have. You would think they could drop more than 5 bucks on it. Guess they are too busy being douchebags to give a flip about le'brand.
  
  Let's try this quip in reverse... That is a nice racket you have going. It would be a shame if we collectively put you assclowns out of business.
