    If you would please be kind and provide a link to that specific article and law...I mean an actual link and not just the main front page, I would be very grateful :-)

    Manning was wrongfully imprisoned with no trial for 3 years if I recall correctly.

  • On the post: Kim Dotcom Loses Appeal Concerning Extradition

    Wally ( profile ), 01 Mar, 2013 @ 10:00am

    I see this as a blessing in disguise for Kim Dotcom. The good news is that this is only an extradition hearing. The DOJ cannot start prosecuting Kim Dotcom until after the extradition hearing in the US, and only if it actually passes under judicial review by the US Supreme Court. If they deny the DOJ the extradition, they will have to dismiss the case against him altogether in both countries.

    "We see them as sources of fueling ideation that's already there."

    Spoken like a true psychologist :-)

    The ideation is a huge problem in most cases. This is the reason why parents should actually pay attention to the ESRB ratings system. It has not changed one iota since its standardization.

    I will however, once again, blame the MPAA for jading us with any lack of reliability towards any other ratings systems.

    Wally ( profile ), 01 Mar, 2013 @ 09:06am

    Some of the game content I frequently use in Garry's Mod comes in the form of free expression. All I can say is that this case is absolutely golden because it could be used to tear down Six Strikes.

    I have been silently working on OOTB for ages..as all of us at TechDrit have....I honestly think this is a breakthrough concerning him. I think he will always have something crazy to say, but I think he may have actually see the light here.

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

    Well said. I should point out though that every time he sees me in high commentary nunbers, he always repeats himself in the same context of "Wally is wrong all the time".

    Whether he is trolling or not is quite debatable, but I do know that he's been "pushing my buttons" since I got banned from Ars Technica (long story).

    He fails quite miserably on the fact that he thinks I am either "wrong" because I make a minor mistake in terminology and attacks that in stead of looking for the point....Or he does this crap and tries to tell everyone how wrong I am when most everyone else doesn't seem to mind the way I think outside of the proverbial box.

    You may be asking me why I am telling you all this. I will tell you:

    He is a troll. Poor home life or not, he is a troll. He is projecting his issues and personal life by selecting a seemingly weaker target, and gets his frustrations out by imposing his "authority" over his target because he does not get to do that in his own life. He is acting like a bully in that regard. 99.9% of all bullies and trolls like him stem from a bad home life. So while I cannot blame him for outing his frustrations on "weaker" targets in such a way, I can blame him and his actions for how he is acting here...in stead of getting out and seeking treatment or counsel.

    Re: Re:

    More "propaganda":

    Iraq under Mr. Hussein had a stifled quality. Imprisonment, torture, mutilation and execution were frequent occurrences, at least for those who chose to dabble in anything vaguely political. Simple information like the weather report was classified. There was no freedom of expression ? even foreign newspapers were banned ? and no freedom to travel. Contact with foreigners was proscribed.

    While assassinating Shiite Muslim religious leaders who opposed him, Mr. Hussein ordered mosques constructed around Baghdad on a scale not seen since it was the medieval capital of the Muslim caliphate. Perhaps the most striking was the Mother of All Battles mosque completed in 2001, the 10th anniversary of the Persian Gulf war. The minarets resembled Scud missiles, and the mosque held a Koran written with 28 gradually donated liters of Mr. Hussein?s blood.


    The fatal controversy over whether Iraq was still developing unconventional weapons stemmed in part from Mr. Hussein?s desire to convince different audiences of different things, a postwar study by the Defense Department concluded. He wanted the West to believe that he had abandoned the program, which he had. Yet he also wanted to instill fear in enemies like Iran and Israel, plus maintain the esteem of Arabs, by claiming that he possessed the weapons.

    "the TRUTH from those who would hide it."

    The unfortunate thing is this. truth is philosophically different from fact.

    The truth is something you believe in very strongly, while fact has mostly evidence and sound theory to back it up.

    "As for the "citation please", I've never said that, at least attribute things to me I've said. And by I know more about you I meant I know you and your wife (supposedly) suffer from Asberger's. I know you got banned from Ars for a (supposedly) bullshit reason. I know you were dropped on your head as a child, combine that with changes in the weather and it makes you have emotional breakdowns on Techdirt. I know quite a bit more shit about you that I would rather not know and which has no business being posted on Techdirt at all."

    Wow!! That explains why an article from way back in December 2012 ended up ended up getting a sudden, random, rating of 5.5 in the Essential reading column under the "Hot Topics" pane for a bit.

    You ask me numerous times to provide links when I tell you about things I have experienced.

    "Look kid, you have a degree in psychology (and I highly doubt that, or you wouldn't commit many of the grave errors you do, as they relate to psychology studies)"

    Do I sense a hypocritical duality and a proxy?


    "Because you have this weird thing about sharing all your life details on a website where they have no reason to be shared."

    Comment:
    There goes your theory about me not having Asperger's Syndrome. That itself is a classic symptom.


    Oh and I know you and the AC above you are the same person:

    "You're so hilarious it's almost sad. That you think my world revolves around "trolling" you of all people is sad."

    I find it particularly hard not to laugh and cry (from frustration) as a psychologist knowing full well that either you are paranoid as hell and there is nothing I can do for you (because believe it or not, you piece of shit, I do care about your well being.

    Or you have personality disorders beyond your control and seriously need some sort of psycho social attention to alleviate your issue. The issue I see in that is this. You are projecting how you are treated in real life onto the one person in the entire world who would actually give a shit about you and, pay attention to you and your troubled life....a psychologist.

    "Let me be clear "Dr." Wally: I don't give a flying fuck whether you take me seriously or not."

    Which labels you as worthless troll who has nothing to contribute in the first place.

    "Face it "Dr." Wally: you are a loser. Not a psychologist, not an IT pro; but simply a loser."

    My wife disagrees. My brother....jokingly agrees.

  • On the post: Vatican Deletes All Of Pope Benedict's Tweets

    Wally ( profile ), 28 Feb, 2013 @ 03:22pm

    Re: update

    My wife grew up roman Catholic, and for once it pays to be a Christian on this sight ;-P

    Ok, the simple explanation is that Pope Benedict was not the given name of the man they put under the pope's hat. That twitter account was meant for the man who had the title of "Pope". The Vatican would be very glad to archive all what Pope Benedict said and they always do.

    Pope Benedict is a former Pope and is now a slightly higher ranking Bishop that has once been a pope. His rank is now Pope Eminent, his title remains Pope Benedict. The rank is that of a retiree like Former President Bill Clinton.

    The reason for the deletion of his Twitter feed is simple, the Vatican is saving it for the next Pope. When he dies or retires, they will archive it and do the same.

    Yes, even form a Nazarene background such as mine, it seems weird in deed, but in the words of my fellow Nazarenes..its their way :-)
