By the logic of the MAFIAA, painting your neighbor's bike blue does indeed deprive someone of a sale. People selling blue bikes. They also stole intellectual property from you being the first person to ever think of that and having nothing to do with greed. So they stand to be targeted by two parties. Unfortunately, there is no BIAA. I'm not sure who will protect the interests of the Bicycle industry, but perhaps they'll get by selling physical property and not punishing their customers with DRM.

Someone really should do something about kids selling their bicycles when they're old enough to drive a car though. (There, I used cars in the analogy!)

We have the party of "I know this won't get passed but it'll get me votes" and the party of "I know this should get passed but saying no will get me votes".

Not saying it's always both, or that there's anything wrong with the principle of trying to pass it anyway or trying to say no anyway. But it shouldn't be so damn common...

...I'm actually quite excited for them. But

Let's see if they still make that argument when my car has Siri and Facebook installed. Could give a whole new meaning to crashing. "You really should have went with the dual processor, higher RAM model..."

Not that I think this is a likely scenario either, just having some fun.

Remember this from ten years ago? Maybe this is all a clever plot to dissolve all freedoms. What better way to prevent attacks targeted at freedom? Oh, and decency and respect too, apparently...

So his name was Dick Test?

I'd keep that account around even if I didn't know he was a real person.

Whoa! I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't look for myself. But with all the evidence provided, it's got to be true. Goats do have accents!

Do not let EA do this. They tried it with Mass Effect. They made steam remove ME1 & ME2 from the market in the days leading up to ME3 so you had to purchase through Origin, but nobody was buying the games, so they put them back on Steam later. They want their own DRM nation, don't let them have it.

However, you're not the perfect passenger for the airline. The airline wants you to be awake and spending money. So your Xanax dream probably won't happen

I'm not usually a grammar nazi, but you accidentally let an r slip in there..

Cops want more revenue. A system where those in power can use it to make more money? What could possibly go wrong

At least the Lorax didn't sell out for the Canyonero....yet

Best Grandpa Simpson line ever made

The problem is (usually) the kind of person who wants to run for this office isn't the kind of person you want to hold it.

Because I drive on a 35 MPH road every other day that has high speed bumps. Five, unnecessary but still existing, speed bumps. Keep in mind this road is residential but the bumps are about 30 seconds apart, so there is plenty of time to get back up to speed. Am I going to have it counted against me for obeying the speed limit but not wanting to kill my shocks?
