  If you were so superior, you wouldn't have waited three years and until Germany declared war on you to even think of moving your arses to 'help'. You profited nicely off it all too!

  Re: Re: Re:

  One of the things I love about this site is that even foreigners know more about US law than all the shills put together. Thanks for keeping us educated.
  
  And thanks to all the ethical US lawyers (TAC, SJD, Ken Popehat, etc.) for showing us that not all of you should be up against the wall first ;)

  Re: Re: A quote from Upton Sinclair in re these politicians

  I'm sure that even if piracy went away, there'd be enough stories about corrupt/stupid politicians, corrupt/stupid artists, corrupt/stupid corporations and corrupt/stupid lawyers to keep him quite busy!

  Yes, well, the rights of the content controllers to swing their fists is being unfairly 'stolen' or restricted by our rights to having our noses intact!

  Re:

  Convicted of what? Breaking security is one thing - but this prosecution is so far beyond that it's not funny.
  
  That's a bit like saying an army guy stole another army guy's gun, and now he deserves life imprisonment or the death sentence, as that 'helped the enemy'.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: This is a real mania with you 14-year-olds, isn't it?

  Because there is a difference between encouraging someone to buy a new anti-microbial soap or chicken fillet cutter and imploring someone to go out and kill 'anyone'.
  
  At best you could blame Fox+COD for attacks on Muslims but even that would be a stretch (the COD bit anyway ;).

  Yes, but those are the highly unusual exceptions, and still contain basic criticism at their core.

  Yes, since the Matrix was totally under their control, they could have easily 'brought up' every human to think that changing reality was normal. Unless there was some sort of artificial limit on AIs or memory space...

  Re: Re: Worked for PCs

  So now he's calling every single place that sells used cars but isn't an 'authorised dealer' for that type of caar a "scumbag store who deals in it while destroying the industry". Classy!
  
  What will he call estate agents (realtors) then?

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: That sounds familiar...

  Two decades, and the cost of production will be way lower. So it's a blatant money grab.

  Wasn't it the Rethugs who were talking about defunding PBS last election? So who made it an R/D issue?
  
  These are the same goons who want to close the Department of Education (or whatever you call it). Sounds consistent.

  Re: Re: So what exactly are these cyborg data miners "offering"?

  I think you mean androids/robots, as a cyborg is just a human with (electronic) prosthetics - which doesn't automatically mean Borg/Cybermen.

  Re: Re: Innovation to Mike means grifters who didn't produce getting the money.

  No, you forget that McDonalds is staffed by college graduates these days. He got rejected from even taking out their garbage (that's at least a BA in Liberal Arts).
