Some of us still know how to read a map....

Maybe if governments stopped acting like hordes of dicks that need to be publicly flayed for the actions they perpetrate there wouldn't be a need for ANY site that any government would hate. But given that governments are made of people, and often chosen by people, and people are generally ignorant hateful fuckwads I don't see that happening any time soon. Butcher them all I say, too many people on this rock anyway.

Should work REAL well with LiveCD OSes.

Funny, Lucas himself said exactly the opposite in 1977.

LEARN to use the equipment necessary to DO YOUR JOB just like a mechanic learns to use the tools he needs and THEN maybe you can spout off about us supporting you. Most IT support roles could be eliminated if the end users weren't either blithering idiots or pathologically scared of computers. Seriously, if you can't remember your password how do you manage to drive a car to work and back every day?

No, the problem with "If you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide" is that those who seek to employ it WON'T let it be applied to them as well.

Why do I doubt that I will never see the US get back to the moon, let alone anywhere else, in my lifetime? I was a little kid when the moon missions ended, I don't even remember them. But it was exciting to know that something like that could be accomplished. Its revolting that this country doesn't really DO anything anymore. We will never get back to the moon. Hell, I bet we never get anything rebuilt on the twin tower's site.

Do you tap all the phones too?

"blindsides" is pretty appropriate given the app was approved 3 times prior.

A whole society? Please, you act like G W Bush personally called everyone for their approval to sent in the troops.

It is MY belief that I should be free from anyone else's "religious" bullshit and that if they choose to try to push it on me that I should be free to kill them in the manner that I deem fit.

So you can respect MY beliefs as well.

Anyone who wants to do me harm for NOT cowing to their beliefs is going to meet a miserable end if they want to get into my face about it. Period. Full stop. End of fucking story.

Wasn't Nine Inch Nail's first stuff all originally done by Reznor in the studio?

Hire a band for crying out loud.

Well that's just lovely then.

I don't play console games, I can't stand the controllers.

But please quit the bullshit that my PC needs to have an active internet connection to run a fucking game! Part of why I even BUY games that are even worth playing as single player is because my network connection is often for crap (no matter what Verizon's CEO wants to tell you) even though I live in a city, and if I want to play a single player game chances are its because my network is flaky or that I'm somewhere without net access.

If they want to demand network access DRM, then THEY can pay for the connection required.

If their product doesn't work due to their retarded DRM scheme it should be legally returnable, and that's what people should be doing. Send the crap back. Demand you money back. If you don't get it, go to your state's attorney general.

Well, all us "computer people" were made DIFFERENT from the likes of Master Electricians when someone arbitrarily determined that we are exempt from overtime.

If I was getting paid for off-hours emergencies and long weeks and weekend project work, maybe it would be a valid comparison, but as it is now, its not.

Actually, MD and VA passed UCITA, which supposedly makes licenses enforceable even if agreeing to it is dubious at best, i.e. by reading this you agree to give me a puppy.
