Comment Re:Creationists Demand Equal Airtime With 'Cosmos' (Score 1) 667

No. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you aren't a religious idiot who wants creation `scientists' on the show. This is not a university lecture where it is his job to spoon fed you every last detail. It is an introduction to various topics, and if you are interested, you can go learn more on your own. It functions well (or at least the original did) in enabling people, particularly children, to know that concepts even exist and be able to ask questions about them.

Actual education is not something so low effort that you can get if from a one-hour show with thirteen episodes.

Comment Re:Is Kim Dotcom a Convicted Felon? (Score 1, Flamebait) 381

He was convicted of insider trading and embezzlement, and some computer crime I don't really remember. Whatever it was, it was not relevant and used dishonestly by the crybaby idiot in TFA to imply that it was in the context of copyright. Reading this emotion-appealing hyperbole collection makes me kinda regret trying to defend copyright just yesterday.... I hate both sides of this `debate'.

Why is it wrong to for them to make a profit? I understand and sympathize with the criticisms of the entertainment industries which constantly pushing for harsher laws, but the other major side of this fight expects it to be a charity. I don't see (very many) people seriously demanding car companies start selling cars at cost.

Scientists that give their work away for free are almost invariably funded by the government. May I assume that you have no objection to supporting movie studios by taxes? Of course, to match this completely, the government should also have some say in what gets funded, just as with scientific research.

Comment Re:Unlimited personal liability? Insanity (Score 4, Insightful) 348

Stockholders do not manage the company. They vote for the board of directors, which manages the rest. Only in special circumstances, like an offer to privatize the company, do the votes have any direct effect.

Then they aren't held accountable for what they told the company to do.

Should citizen voters be liable for prison time if they elect a senator who turns out to be corrupt?
