In other news: Megaupload will likely Not be prosecuted by the U.S. Government because the judge ruled the government has no authority to "serve" a foreign company. Bad news: The U.S.G. still wins because they've destroyed the company, so RIAA and MPAA got their money's worth when they bribed the politicians to act as their puppets and kill megaupload.

I can't help wondering if the same tactic will be used in the future against sites or persons that Hollywood/the record companies desire to be silenced. No doubt CISPA will make that task so much easier.

Can't MU, you know, sue us and all now? Maybe in one of those international criminal court dealies that were made for stuff like this. Or how about in New Zealand (for added irony)?

So the biggest complaints about him basically boil down to "He's trying to work within the existing system instead of trying what Ross Perot and Ralph Nader couldn't do with millions of dollars" and "He funnels as much money as he can to his district"?

The first one is him being sensible to a degree - moreover, how do you know he won't just outright pull out of the Republican nomination and run independently?

And as for the second one, that is literally every politician ever. If a politician said "I'm going to reduce all the stuff my district is getting!" there would be a recall vote faster than you can fuck up voting on a hanging chad!

(Of course, I install the update at a later time, but some of the "idiot-proofing" has made things a major pain in the ass for people who know what they're doing sometimes, such as the lack of easy customization in certain programs.)
