But i'd buy Slash Media just so I could fire the ass hats at SourceForge who try to monetize other peoples work. No we won't want your nagware, we never have and never will.

That would solve my slashdot habit. I ban flash on my network

How many of the threats and posts wishing people were raped or killed did you personally condemn? Di you stand behind releasing peoples home addresses as a valid argument? These are what you consider ethical acts? When you threaten your opponent with physical harm in a debate about ethics, you lose the debate.

So it really is worth nothing then?

There is a reason no one defended the idiot gamergate punks. You guys made sure you were indefensible. When no one called out the threats and the doxing you proved you had no moral leg to stand on. Not to mention that most of your allegations were proved false. It was your own actions that drowned out your words.

Yes, because your country is not doing the same exact thing (albeit with a smaller budget).

a third, and usually a 4th. Drawn, hanged and quartered (with a tad bit of live disembowelment added for good measure)

You think watching porn on a work computer is "highly outrageous and unimaginable to anybody"?? What the hell are you doing on slashdot? I am pretty sure I have never worked anywhere where I did not come across porn in someone's history, and I bet the same could be said for the numerous sysadmins here.

That is only because Weird Al always asks for permission to parody a song, he is not required to.

Where do we get that copyright is granted for a limited time? Gee, I don't know maybe from here: Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.

So it's the webpages fault? or your browser? Think carefully as no one else seems to be having the issue.

Why do you think the laws would change? Wouldn't the easiest outcome be for everyone involved be to have Uber follow the applicable laws?

> this is not like New York with the Medallion system of protecting incumbents.

Your crazy if you think the medallion system was put in place to "protect incumbents". In fact I have yet to see anyone offer any proof of any "taxi cartel". New York at one point had more the 30,000 cabs on the street, it affected safety and that is the reason the medallion system no restricts the number of cabs on the road to a bit over 16,000.

I live in an affluent area with a plethora of iPhones and I have yet to see an iWatch.

>Having an SSD on a Desktop PC, is kinda a crap-shoot, unless you get one of the really high performance ones, you probably won't notice much. I beg to differ. It used to be the upgrade that gave you the greatest performance increase was increasing your memory. Now a days going from spinning rust to ssd provides the most noticeable performance upgrade.
