Actually I think it's pretty fucking spineless of them.

I think this church is an idiot, but they still have the right to do what they're doing. Rackspace is a bunch of douchebags for pulling the plug. "Hate speech" is subjective and can be applied to nearly anything.

I dunno. The RIAA *is* run by a bunch of faggots, after all.

Whoever moderated this as a troll can also suck my cock and eat my taint.

You dumb, dumb, sad fuckers are wasting your moderation points modding my posts down, anyhow.

You can all go fuck yourselves with very large chainsaws.

..can suck my cock.

2 years of planning... 2 minutes of downtime. Very effective, wasn't it?

You. Will. Never. Stop. Piracy.

In fact, good luck trying to even make a dent in it. These companies and trade organizations are going to spend more money paying off politicians and trying to combat the "problem" than they're actually losing due to piracy.

Fuck 'em is what I say.

The RIAA, MPAA, ASCAP, CRIA, SPA, etc can all collectively eat my taint.

I am usually one of the first people to jump up and bitch about software, but I have not had any of the problems that you guys mention with iTunes.

I have been using it for 2 years, with a 10,000+ song music library. Occasionally it doesn't want to sync with my iPod until I've reset it but I'm not sure if that's a problem with iTunes, the iPod, or both. I have not had a playlist disappear, or songs disappear from my playlist, or anything else of the sort. I used to have a problem with things slowing down when I would scroll down through the list quickly in album view, but this was fixed in one of the recent releases, which caches album art or something to speed things up.

I didn't say a damn thing about making them open it up, did I? They just need to chill with suing people who are apparently smarter than their engineers that are trying to lock down the system.

You must be a Sony employee...or lawyer.

Go to hell.

Personally I couldn't give two shits if they're profiting or not. There's got to be some sort of motivation, whether it be profit or otherwise, just as long as they keep right on releasing hacks that put DOUCHEBAG companies such as Sony in their place.

Dear Sony: Feel free to sue me for libel for calling you "douchebag" in this post. I will be more than happy to burn your lawyers' houses down. Have a nice day, fuckers.

Well if these assholes aren't put in their place, Dark aleX might be next.

I just hate sue-happy companies. I think it's fucking hilarious that Sony is so litigous that they actually sued themselves once.

I shouldn't even care about this, for I don't own a PS3. However I'm also not a big fan of being told what I can and can not do with something that I lawfully purchased. Fuck any company that tries to tell me that I can not modify their product that I own so that it serves my purposes better, and fuck YOU if you can't handle that.

Well it's one thing to make it technically difficult to do it, but when they start legally pursuing people that beat them at their own game, that's when I start getting upset.

Still, if I own the damn device, and I want to hack it and put linux on it, that's my perogative as long as I am not pirating their games or cheating online with it.

As for support hassles, that's just tough shit.

Can somebody explain to me why Sony even cares that these mods exist?

What's up with all of these companies acting like we don't own the hardware that we PURCHASE with our hard-earned money?

I have a posse?

Interesting.

If you don't see that there's some pretty serious problems with this planet at the moment, aside from the normal trouble and strife that's been going on for eternity, then there's seriously something wrong with you, dude.

We're heavily dependent on oil, yet we're running out of it. We're running out of food. We're completely destroying our landscape in the eternal search for energy sources such as coal, oil, and wood. We have created an oceanic landfill (waterfill?) the size of TEXAS in the Pacific Ocean. We make it worse by perpetuating this cultural idea that we should breed, breed, breed and that will solve the problem, or at least that it will give us more soldiers in God's good fight against evil. Amirite?

No, I'm not some batshit crazy childfree person, either. I have a child, and stopped at just one. I just wish that more people would do the same.

Furthermore, there's no Cabal, and no posse. I'm not going to be heading down to the CNN Center with explosives strapped to myself, taking hostages and demanding that they change their programming to suit my "agenda" any time soon. Why? Because it's friggin' hard enough to get you turds to listen to logic and reason without committing acts of violence and terrorism.

I fully understand that so far, we have managed to find *temporary* solutions to problems such as food production through technology. Don't count on this lasting forever.

Nobody said that we should swallow everything this guy said hook, line, and sinker. You sound just like the stereotypically stubborn American, or even hilljack, who will go and do something just because somebody told you that you couldn't or shouldn't do it.

It's people like YOU who are a good part of the problem with this planet... probably even moreso than Mr. Lee.

I agree wholeheartedly. This guy was definitely a nut job, but the real tragedy here was that he had a point with some of his rantings, and now because of what he did with this situation, whatever good points he had have been entirely lost. The same can be said about the Unabomber and Joe Stack.

It really does sicken me how human culture is all about reproducing and consuming. I know that all the animals do this, but aren't we supposed to be smarter than that? Given the current global state of affairs you would think that more people would want to voluntarily put a lid on reproducing.
