Nothing's changed. Not one goddammed thing.

From the statement. "Go Daddy and its General Counsel, Christine Jones, have worked with federal lawmakers for months to help craft revisions to legislation". They liked the state of SOPA enough to support it two days ago - hell...they helped craft it! The only difference between "We're for it" to "we're not for it" is "hey - why are you all deserting us??". They may not be listing themselves as in favour any more, but they're sure as hell not coming out against it.

I'm still voting with my feet, pocket and registration transfers. Screw them.

And now I realise that I posted as AC, so I logged in to say that unlike GoDaddy, I'm happy to stand up against SOPA.

Not that I mind the negative Karma, but why on earth is this Off Topic? It's a response to a First Post (that *got* First Post), contextualized to the subject (referencing JCs fear of slipping back to the quagmire of feature phones with compatibility testing issues galore).

Or, to put it another way for the moderator in question......"wooosh"!

Comment Re:My guess is their licensees yelled at them (Score 3, Interesting) 495

You appear to be confusing a UDK license agreement with an Unreal Engine license agreement. UDK is the indie non-source code product. With an Unreal Engine license, you are free to modify the engine source to your heart's content, and most licensees do precisely this. It's also the only license you can get for consoles.

This license costs considerably more than UDK.

And he threw a fit when he discovered the need to right-click.

Not that one again. At the risk of being repetitious: Macs have supported a three-button mouse for at least the last ten years and have shipped with them for at least five. Even before that, there was generally an alternative involving pressing one of the meta keys when making a mouse click.

So when do they start shipping with sense of humour implants?

Or how about "No, I'm not going to buy my kid a POS Mac."? I'm sure at least one Windows or Linux adminstrator's child goes to high school there.

Don't you think a Windows administrator would be very happy to know that they can put their feet up when they come home from work and don't have to administer their kid's computers as well?

Nope, I think a windows administrator is going to be pissed off to come home from work and not only have to administer their kid's laptop, but - to add insult to injury - have it be a POS Mac!
