But if he is literally Hitler, then he is dead and still writing on /., and no one noticed...

The Queen of Denmark walks to the shops to buy flowers most days and if you ask her security gut why, he says "Why not?"

Why shouldn't they? It is a logical progression and just because you do not want to gamble online does not mean that there is not a market for it. They have a right to fill that market. As for allowing the people to download, why not? It is also a logical progression into a market that for some strange reason the people that should be running it have chosen to run down. I cannot understand why more countries do not allow their people more freedom. You talk about greed but you are selective in where you see it. Things that should have quite reasonably have gone out of copyright have, through lobbies in the US government, been kept copyright and you see that as OK and see anyone that sees differently as bad... You are narrow minded. It is only through US corruption that the concept of "piracy" has been created. That corruption should end.

Yeah, I know you will start with all the claptrap about poor starving artists but they are not the ones that benefit from the twisted market that the new guilds have created. Just like the guilds of the middle ages, the concept of "intellectual property" will fail.

You need special glasses to fire a 3D gun and only people wearing those glasses can get shot by one.

'Once a liar, always a liar'.

Lovely quote for someone defending the idea of US help. The US sold supplies to both sides until Germany declared war on the US and even after that the US continued to supply Germany through 3rd parties. Britain on the other hand did not charge for the help that it gave to its allies. The US, as always, saw the war as a way to get rich. That is very different from the picture painted by people like GW who spoke about the US (he said 'America' but Canada did offer genuine help) saving Europe. Without the US, the Germans had still lost. The US servicemen did do a lot and to them we are grateful but the politicians who steal credit for things that they do not deserve are scum.

Mandella really was a terrorist. He was arrested while in the possession of 48,000 Soviet-made anti-personnel mines, 210,000 hand-grenades and loads of other explosives. He was blowing shit up and was about to blow up the railway station. He was sent to prison and frequently offered release if he would renounce terrorism. He consistently refused. His wife of the time used to like to tie children to street lamps and put car tyres around their necks which she then filled with petrol and set the poor child alight.

He had a change of heart and became a man of peace. Would Bin Laden have been so readily forgiven?

Where are you from that had the US kick out the Germans? I am European so I remember that the British and the Russians did far more and that the Americans turned up late as usual with the beer and pizza. If you had actually spoken to people who fought you would have heard them tell you the the yanks were a liability as they were green. They ran from the fight and did not defend their allies. The main thing that they were good at was taking credit for what everyone else had done. They were a minority at Normandy but they took the majority of the credit as usual.

Telling the truth about the US is seen as trolling by the plebs :) you should know that in order to keep good kharma you have to wave the flag and advocate Linux :)

I also think that the system is overreliant on a person having a smart phone. I often go places without one and am seriously considering getting a dumb phone for private use (weekends and evenings). This system would not work for me or the millions of other people that do not want or do not have one. If a system relies on a phone, how is this better than current systems that send me a OTP on any mobile using basic SMS. It is more complex but not more reliable as the weak link is regarding who has your phone.

In any situation, take an image, load said image to clone machine, reset password on interesting account and look as much as you like... Live machine still unaffected.

Not if they tell the public what the government are doing... Hacking individuals private communication was wrong when a newspaper did it and it is still wrong when the government does it. It is not the Gruaniad that has double standards, it is Cameroon.

If I provide you with a service, for free, regardless of how, it does not give you the right to resell that service. You are welcome to receive it, you are not welcome to sell it.

One of my classmates at university went to where he had left his bike and all that was left was the front wheel chained to a post. As he walked off with his front wheel he met someone who had had chained his frame to a post and all that had been stolen was the front wheel...

One is morally wrong and the other is normal relationship...

Have you any idea how much it costs to wage war? Do you know who gets those profits? Dick Cheney is always a big winner but the list is nearly all members of GW's friends. It does not matter about the oil, just keep dropping those bombs and those making the decisions will continue to get richer while the plebs die or go bankrupt trying to pay for their healthcare.
