  Re: So what you're saying is: copyright isn't a big deal,

  9/10
  
  Meritorious false conclusion, and I see you've improved your fallacies. Keep up the good work, I see a high grade for you at the end of the semester.

  Re: Presidential overreach....

  A thought occurs: governments are becoming less relevant to the population of the world.
  
  ...and this fact scares the be-f***ing-jebus out of the government.
  
  If we thought the death throes of the MAFIAA were bad, the death throes of the governments (as they reach obsolescence, rather than thru any coup or revolt) will likely be exponentially worse.

  Teh Awesome Sauce!

  With this list memorized, I can very carefully visit a hotel, exhibiting most all of these "signs" and then, when arrested for no reason, sue the Feds for wrongful arrest!
  
  Even better, the same Feds will probly fall for the same schtick over and over.
  
  Sweet, I have my retirement planned!

• On the post: The Raw Power Of Louis CK: Even HBO Is Opening The Garden Gates

  

  :Lobo Santo ( profile ), 13 Nov, 2012 @ 04:19pm

  Re: And the "new" here is what, again?

  (I just put $5 into my "I will not feed the trolls" jar, so, here goes)
  
  Has HBO ever shown something to which they do not have total control? (I believe the answer is a resounding "no", but feel free to disprove this assertion.) Louis CK maintains control to distribute his way (cheap, online, sans DRM) after an agreed upon contractual window has passed.
  
  Who said it wouldn't be pirated? Of course it will be pirated; anything which is good enough to be shared is pirated and shared. The real shame would be if it was so bad that nobody pirated it. The real question should be: how many of those pirates will become paying customers? (See: Batman, highest grossing && most pirated film) Piracy acts as an enhancer; good things get more money (eg "this is awesome, let's go see it in the theatre!") and piss-poor things get less money (eg "glad I didn't pay to see that piece of shyte!")
  
  DRM-free and "free" are not the same words (duh).
  

  ---

  Your rather formulaic ad-hom is getting stale and dried-out, not unlike the aforementioned shyte. Please try harder, we expect greater quality from trolls and shills on this site.

  Good layout, simplistic opinion asserted as fact.
  
  Your dissembling needs work, try not to make your falsehoods to easily transparent. Attempt to better couch your logical fallacies in more emotional arguments which seem logical.
  
  Keep up the good work. With some improvement, you should end up with a very good grade by semester's end.

  Re: What about those who WON'T pay, Mike?

  3/10
  
  Good ad hominem, needs work otherwise.
  
  Blatant falsehoods should be avoided when trolling, try to make your lies as opaque and inscrutable as possible.

  So, it's begun in earnest.

  The deadly kiss of Microsoft seeks the lips of the television.
  
  Gone, gone it will be, only dust and ashes.
  
  
  
  Well, I for one am looking forward to the day when all "television watching" is done on a phone or computer. :-P

  Re: Re: Results Cloudy

  The same group of people for whom "online" isn't really real, or it's only something they see in movies.
  
  Despite using it, experiencing the utility, there's a disconnect between "online" and "reality" in their brains. Fairly common with many people (IMHO).

  ...and once the framework for enforcing 'no anonymity' is in place, it becomes a simple matter to lump in other 'dangerous groups' of people.
  
  Likely they'll start with felons, then move on to fraudsters, pollsters, delinquents, and finally just everybody who's ever expressed a negative opinion about the regime.

  Well, as I care for neither of these artists, I'd like to call for the simple expedient of a death-match.
  
  Whoever wins can keep all the lyrics.

  What's that you've got there? Evidence?!?
  
  Trolls find evidence to be indigestible, you're wasting your time attempting to feed that to it.

• On the post: What Do Sandy & Pearl Harbor Have In Common? Politicians Exploit Both To Push Cybersecurity Agendas

  

  :Lobo Santo ( profile ), 01 Nov, 2012 @ 02:43pm

  Re: Re: Re: What I would Love to see...

  Doubtful. If one pays attention, it's obvious they never really bother to hide anything behind more than a thin veneer of civil service.
  
  People simply do not pay attention, or do not care enough to do anything.
  
  Those few who do care are marginalized. The man yelling "this will do nothing!" would be removed by security. Later, he'd be smeared on Fox/CNN as a nutter; a crazy conspiracy theorist who's also a racist and a pedophile.
  
  The average (un)informed person would laugh a little about the loud nutjob and continue on, oblivious to what they see but fail to comprehend.

  Re: What I would Love to see...

  Come now, this has nothing to do with security and everything to do with money and control.
  
  I'm pretty sure this one involves a cushy multi-billion dollar contract being handed to a "friend's" cyber-security company.
  
  What we're witnessing is just another symptom of corruption, played out in the public theater.
