Comment More than the wii (Score 1) 304

Nothing beats some good old "get the fuck outside and play [insert sports name here]. Really what the hell is wrong with that ? name me 1 wrong thing with that ? nothing...theres no reason to go outside and play. Parents should get involved with their child's sport. Just playing ball is good enough...well better than gluing your ass on your sofa watching TV, computer or game console anyway. No details needed, take your kid, throw him out, get yourself outside and do something physical, walk, run, play ball. Steal a bike and get caught will the cop is beside you. Anything will do, you will have your daily exercice...really lol.

I remember when I was 20 and I subscribe to do kick-boxing, 3 times a week for 1h30 each session. I got out of there like I was walking on clouds. it was good. Now I got a kid and I play sports, play ball..whatever, I'm just outside with him playing with him doing something with him. My ass ain't stuck in a sofa. That attitude, behavior will help my kid understand that getting his ass outside the house helps and if your in a chair...well you'll get fat. plain and simpl.e

Not unless the IT department is closely monitored by their supervisors and those same people are really paranoid which i think they are at this time of age. Well I am where I work and I make sure no one fucks with my firewall and network...a good use of a network monitor really helps. I use fear and I'm immune to beer so forget alcohol. Unless you shove it down my throat by 4 nude girls I could let some things go.

Comment Deja vu ? (Score 0) 205

link or no link, maybe I'm going to far with this but will this have a similar affect like the tobacco industry years ago ? you know, they all worked and did everything to could to make profit even if they murdered people to do profit. (I call it murder since that industry was aware of the health problems, lots of studies and proof exists)

Electronic payment is not 100% safe. it's easily crackable and easily hackable. Banks aren't doing enough to make it safe...yet. They could but people would be too idiot to follow anyway. I'm a computer tech and trust me, I've seen my fair share of stupid people when it comes to easy "security" situations. I can't believe people still use their names or some very well public known word to them for their password. I've also seen people not securing their routers and other personal "electronic" gadgets and it is PRIMORDIAL to do so.

In other words, electronic is not the safest and best way cause people are too idiot or lazy to use more security. So I'm not convinced with what you said.

It's called w3c. Those standards are there for a reason. unfortunately, not a lot of web browser dev don't use it 100%. That's one reason we got so many open alley in our pc's via the web browser today. I can't blame them 100% but theres a small percentage that goes to them of course. Theres also the fact that the bigger the code you got, the bigger holes you MIGHT have.

Comment Microsoft following standards, don't make me laugh (Score 2) 412

The requirement for DRM on streaming video isn't likely to go away, however. If consensus can't be reached and no better approach emerges, there is a risk that some browser vendors will simply implement their own solutions outside of the standards process.

Since when did the big guys followed the standards anyway (IE html validation anyone!). maybe this is what we need ? It's not the first time some company, organization or someone didn't follow standards and his software got way more popular. I could state that mozilla wasn't standard but it did follow the rules way better than IE did with W3C.

I'm sorry to say this but : The ARTISTS have been the only ones saying that piracy DOESNT hurt them." This is completely false. Piracy does hurt. Think about it, let say you spent 100k$ on your "product" and then you realise that it's on piratebay.org or some other site free to everyone. Don't give me crap with that piracy doesn't hurt. Piracy does hurt and at the same time it gives just enough image to the publisher (or whoever is behind it) to give enough attention so people buy their products.

It's the crooked publishers and distributors that are actually hurting the artists : Just for a fact, they hurt everyone, not only the artist by the way.
