Comment Re:that will make RMS happy? (Score 1) 152

According to RMS, Android is NOT free software, and this is because of nasty policies of google to misuse free software.

Is Android really free software?
The version of Linux included in Android is not entirely free software, since it contains non-free "binary blobs" (just like Torvalds' version of Linux), some of which are really used in some Android devices. Android platforms use other non-free firmware, too, and non-free libraries. Aside from those, the source code of Android versions 1 and 2, as released by Google, is free software – but this code is insufficient to run the device. Some of the applications that generally come with Android are non-free, too.
Android is very different from the GNU/Linux operating system because it contains very little of GNU.

Also, Google deliberately delays in publishing source code, and with all of these, it is shameful for Google to call Android "free software".

Comment Only 712 games?! (Score -1) 199

After all, it's only 721 games. When you can download "6666 games|Nintendo NES-SNES-Sega-GBA-Atari-Arcade ROMs+emulator" just by knowing this alphanumeric string: "4bfd5de335c0840e19662784e086553541e0ce28" who cares about stupid collectors?
But, hey, wait! If there is only 721 SNES games ever made, why there is "758 Snes Roms + An Snes Emuator" in the hand of pirates with the plate number of "0817BB205C8DD8AF6AB5BB23D81DA90DCEED9CF5"? Liars! Shame on you!

Comment So, what? (Score 1) 232

So, what? They are good terrorists? Rebels torture pro-Assad people, kill them by hundreds of Ak-47 bullets. Watch this please. Considering active position of Al-Qaeda between rebels, they're far from being guys who deserve sympathy.
They even have Stinger missiles, so pretending their firepower comes from garbages in junkyard and playstations morphed into next generation warefare is total hypocrisy. Let's hope CIA does not create another Taliban, this time in Syria.

Iran captured and seized the drones, not downed them. So It has access to the cutting edge technologies used to create sophisticated drones. You don't care about this fact? For sure it does not have a positive effect on US domestic economy. And, also it is wrong to call RQ-170 , "an incredibly slow flying, cheap, pilotless, unstealthed drone". It is the drone captured by Iran in 2011.

IOW, [citation needed]

His pornographic website was seized by Iranian legal authorities in march 2009, but Archive.org , a US-based Internet archiving has snapshots of the original website. I don't like to link directly to the slut website. You can access it by going to Internet Archive Wayback Machine , input the name of his website (A-v-i-z-o-o-n- dot com, remove -) and see archives before 15 Mar 2009. You will clearly see Powered by MT at the bottom of the pages, which is linked to MovableType software website .

So, the claims that he was a programmer and is being punished because of writing a computer program for the website is clearly wrong.

Comment Facts, not movies (Score 3, Insightful) 193

I once watched a video clip of an American helicopter killing a crowd of people, because one of them had a camera in his hand. And it was not a clip from a movie, just like what you've watched. It was a clip from recordings of the Apache helicopter, that was later named Collateeral Murder by Julian Assange.
So, let's talk about facts, not movies.

He's not a programmer, and he was not involved in any dating site. He had a site called Avizoon (means SLUT in english). Have you heard of a "dating website" with such name? He was involved in child pornography, abusing private images and films stoled from people's computer using several hired men, and now his lawyer claims he's a programmer!
Let's look at what he calims Malekpour has written: A Perl/PHP program called: Movable Type . As far as I know an American company with the name of Six Apart is the developer, and not a stupid porn distributor called Malekpour. See this screenshot from his website.
