Ever since I blocked 'player.ooyala.com', load times are much faster..

Everybody's got an angle. The supermarket strategically places carts and boxes in aisles to block a straight path to the checkout counter. They try to make you walk through the whole store. The world doesn't change.

You really think the moon landing was faked? Eh, never really occurred to me. Was a jolly good show though, watched it live. It will be a great disappointment if you are right. And WWII? Don't know what you're talkin' about. Anyway, we didn't have desktop editing and photoshop back then. The debt? Well, that's obvious. Everybody knows where the money went. You do come up with some weird shit sometimes. And as it turns out much of the old history books are wrong, some are being corrected. You do want accurate history books, don't you?

Admit it! The only reason you can't vote for Hillary is because she's a democrat.

You can either have this, or this. You want to feed your addiction to apathetic convenience? These are the choices you leave yourselves so far. Kinda puts the anti-pipeline people at a small disadvantage. I don't know if tar can blow up this good

And what is to become of the archived monkey poo? The entire internet is in there! The REAL internet, not the scandalous, frequently altered, plastic surgery fluff you see everywhere else. No, Slashdot archives are pure, write once! Read forever... I can only hope for the best...

...the courts have chosen to completely ignore the straightforward wording...

Well, they kinda have to, otherwise the judge will be... replaced. These guys are a pretty tight group. They don't make their careers by rocking the boat. The voters are the last hope. If they can't be bothered then all bets are off. The constitution is just another piece of nice literature describing an imaginary land that does not exist in the physical realm.

Start by making the patent non-transferable. The owner can sell a non-exclusive license (meaning that anyone who can pay the price gets to use the patent, prohibition not allowed) to anyone who wants to use it. And since the government issues patents, they have a right to control license pricing to avoid said extortion. But there are no rich lobbyists to advocate such changes and the voters don't give a shit, so let's not get our hopes up yet.
