Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. Why should we be subjected to articles about stuff you know nothing about?

Indeed, the articles should only relate to areas of your expertise, like realtime midget scat porn, and arithmetic for 'tards.

Looking forward to your daily updates.

cheers,

Problem is I have a life. My friends use Facebook to organize social events, they won't keep up if I change my phone number ever month or two.

Problem is, I, too, have a life, and I don't have a Facebook account. Are your Facebook friends all so shallow that they wouldn't/couldn't erm, I dunno, PHONE you? or TEXT you? or EMAIL you? or KNOCK ON YOUR FUCKING DOOR?

This bullshit "I need Facebook or I won't have a life", doesn't indicate a lack of life, it indicates a lack of brain, so yeah, perhaps the same thing.

What do you do for NHL games that are blacked out of NHL Center Ice because they are shown on national or regional cable television? Last year the freaking finals were shown on what is now NBC Sports Network, a cable channel.

It may take some searching, but running xbmc>navi-x or 1channel, I've been able to find *most* games blacked-out on gamecenter. I cut the chord (satellite dish) 6 weeks ago and I'm not looking back, saving $100 per month....

Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Isn't it?

Whilst the "content-cartels" occasionally ruin the odd-person's life, hundreds of millions, if not a billion, people continue to share files, every second of every day. Young whippersnappers under 30 don't even *get* what the fuss is about (or why we even *share* (or own) music files when there's spotify, grooveshark, pandora...)

And I do think it's tragic, and despicable, that even one person is ruined by the various aa's and their/our bought-and-paid-for politicians/legislatures.

Ultimately, the few sporadic *gains* by the bad guys pale in comparison to the sheer number of those who don't feel threatened. Or who rightly believe it's an amoral issue unworthy of their attention.

It's not unlike weed use. Are the anti-weed folks winning? Sooner or later (measured in decades...) common sense does indeed prevail.

A lot of us may not live long enough to experience it, though.

cheers,

The first thing you need to do when schooling someone is make sure you are correct beforehand.

I am correct. You don't have a clue. Your so-called "elaboration" demonstrated the use of "sic" to point out a misspelling.

You have been schooled, so suck it up, or actually offer an elaboration which demonstrates how your mis-use of "sic" is correct.

No, because its nothing to do with preferences(sic) and priorities(sic).

You' ve indicated by the use of "(sic)" that those two words are either misspelled or improperly-used.

Would you care to elaborate, as both words are spelled properly...?

..Potential employers searching my name would see info about another person with my name, assume it's me, and move on to the next applicant...

So, your future employers are all so stupid that they'd automatically assume that google's autocomplete refers "solely" to you? Why would you seek employment with such stupid people? All employers are stupid, right?

cheers,
