I've been tweeting about this GoDaddy shit since I saw it, and I'm so chuffed that it's actually panning out! As a Canadian webmaster, we up here don't have any means of affecting the vote for SOPA or Protect IP... we're just zombies waiting for the impact of the U.S. bomb that will take away or rights on the 'net. No say, no means of influence. So what do we do? We get YOU, the American public, to show that YOU ACTUALLY GIVE A SHIT. Again, I'm so relieved that this whole GoDaddy thing has elevated itself to the level of grassroots involvement. I KNEW there was something that would start the ball rolling to show these house- and senate-assholes that there are people out here that know they're backing legislation that is harmful and diseased. Lets not stop, people! Find the next GoDaddy. Show the gov't that we won't put up with their mal-formed attempts to subjugate us! And kudos, folks. Nice job, and well done!

Lil' old KRZR's can't get things like spyware. I can't even get the camera to work anymore! =)

Actually, I thought my clickthroughs funded their site. I'll have to find another one now... so many buttons, so few worthy clicks... (sigh)

Given that things have gone off the scales within the boundaries of computing, is there now a tablet that will do everything a normal desktopor laptop would do?

I haven't researched, but if anyone has answers, much obliged. Tablets, to my mind, aren't the way forward...

How is it we've gotten so sucked into (y)our cable connections? I'll admit: I'm very faithful to my net stuff, but for cable? PSHAW!

Let's lighten things up, people. I read books, do crosswords, and look at articles on-line. Where's the stuff of naturalism on the web????!!!!!! =)

Nothing to see here.... please keep moving. Mind the lights....

If I want to write for Apple, I will. For Android, same thing. For Java? Homesfree! Screw what they want. I saw an article earlier that was dissing non-Apple programmers. Let them suck on this: we're going to be here, we're going to code, and we're going to watch you delve yourself an early grave. Don't piss off those that port your stuff.

As if I was an author... I DO write for a living. I happen to takke greeat straights to bee voluble ohn-line, and be as respecctful as possible to thost that opposte me.

That NOT being said, I lose money every time someone downloads a book that takes away from my readership. Think about it, asshole: one read = dozens of dollars being lost. Perhaps you have money out the wazzoo; I don't. Shut your yap, pay for the shit you're downloading if you thing it's worth it, and get real.

Sorry... tidbit two: Don't even mention "patronage". If so, sponsor me! I'll be glad to write you a little ditty to sing at your grandmother's funeral: I love requiems. I'll even supply the details for the bank account payments.

I'll ask the question that I usually ask: "What have you created that is copyrightable?"

I'm getting pretty sick of wankers that don't contribute anything to the arts, sciences or general well-being of society whacking off about, "You can't keep it from us!" Yes, we can. if we choose to. If I write a song, that's my fucking song. If I write a piece of software, that's my piece of software. I do both. If I choose to publish it under a Creative Commons License, that's my choice... or I can choose to copyright it, and make some money. I pay the bills that way. In case you hadn't heard, there are financial responsibilities in life. We can't all live in our parent's basement.

I choose what I publish, and how I publish it. Some of it is CC, some copyrighted. If you think that just the matter of your using up oxygen allows you to profit from my genius, then you're sadly mistaken. My wish would be for a vetting process for my CC work, so that assholes like you didn't get their hands on my stuff, and use it to further their idiot ideas. THAT would be a great boon!

Create something worthy first, something that's worth a copyright. Then talk to me,

There ain't any technology that one human(s) can come up with that another human(s) can't corrupt.

I don't care how quick, savvy or exotic you are, you're not going to foil everyone forever. I figure it's just a state of grace we have: there's a situation whereby the technology is benign, if asinie; a state whereby it's corrupted, abused and malicious; and a state whereby it's antiquated, unused, and maligned.

I hope Twitter's now made it to that last stage now.

...or a Prince Albert. That's one way to tell what your employees are doing on their Friday nights...

Yeah. Thanks to anonymous reader for pointing this one out.

On the one hand, this sort of shit needs to see the light of day. On the other hand, it give me a (rare) reason to feel ashamed of being Canadian. What the hell do these idiots think they're doing? Pulling the wool over our eyes?

Wake up and smell the coffee, you idiots. We're not going to let you get away with crap like that. Thanks for letting us know! (Shuffles off to some networking sites to start some more news stories re: this!)

I haven't had this much fun in a while! Besides, not only did we get rid of him, we found Madelaine McCann in his wardrobe!

How dare you all! Michael is now up in heaven, buggering baby Jesus!
