Did you just come out of a wormhole or something?
Nope, just simply another ignorant person who spews "facts" about things they really have no clue about.

No. If you download iTunes songs they have DRM unless you pay extra for the "iTunes Plus" service which makes each song more expensive
Songs on iTunes haven't had DRM since 2009.
Algorithm Challenge: Burning Man Vehicle Exodus 273
Slashdot contributor Bennett Haselton writes:
"A year ago, getting ready for Burning Man, I read that the cars in the exit line sometimes have to wait in the sun for hours to get out. I came up with an algorithm that I thought would alleviate the problem. Do you think it would work? If not, why not? Or can you think of a better one?"
Read on for the rest of Bennett's thoughts.

Many of us have Kindles, iPhones, Rokus that use content from providers not unlike GameSpy. We need to be willing to say out loud that ownership of these items is now temporary.
Since when did you ever have ownership of streamed music/movies/etc?

You can't be serious! C is *substantially* lower-level than C#; you should only use C as a portable assembly language.
Why? C is extremely easy to write and has vast amounts of libraries to use.

One founder didn't even realize he was depressed until glucose and blood tests came back normal
If his results were normal why would that indicate he had depression?

Denying people equal rights is depriving them of liberty. Do you not know what liberty even means?

Sure, the government has no place legislating on the sexuality of consenting adults. And before you attempt to think you "gotcha'd" me, it is not legislating one's views on sexuality to strike down anti-gay bigotry laws or to provide them with equal rights.

Deny, deflect, belittle and attack. Right out of the "Rules for Radicals" playbook.

Neither know or care who that person is. But keep frothing at the mouth. You amuse me.

The "left" in the US is a group of impotents. They couldn't repress anyone if they wanted. And, no, not being allowed to legislate your religious beliefs and bigotry does not mean one is being oppressed.

1) "You" was referring to the aforementioned groups I referred to.
2) I'm not justifying anything of either side. I simply find it funny when hypocrites whine about people using their own tactics and games against them. If the right wingers don't want left wingers to use protests and boycotts against them then they should stop doing it as well. In the meantime, I will continue to mock and laugh at them.

No, but it's the height of hypocrisy to use the tactic against others and then whine when it's turned on yourself.
