My point is that at some point, people are responsible for their own decisions and their own positions in life.

Let 'em burn, eh?

No penny for the guy, eh?

I hope you find your Ayn Randian paradise soon (but make sure it is far, far away, please!)

Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men. — Mahatma Gandhi

Seems to be how most companies are run, too.

...except without the blackjack, hookers or even a modicum of efficiency.

But in a world where school shootings are an extremely rare event—even to the point of being statistically non-existant ~.

FIFY.

You know how I know you watch a lot of TeeVee news and/or read Fox.com? Because you're all worked up over a non-existent crisis.

Never answer a question directly. Require your Padawan to ALWAYS ASK THE DUCK before they bother you. If the duck can't answer the question, then it is okay to ask you. If you don't know the answer, then YOU need to ask the duck. Learn this lesson, you must.

Game of Thrones pirated; HBO doesn't mind.

Also, those media companies are run by Techno-Luddites who couldn't manage their way out of a wet paper sack with a flashlight and a jackhammer, so no wonder they don't understand how to watch shows on teh intertubes without a cable subscription.

People pirate because it is easier than being legit. If it was easier to pay, many would.

The Freedom-hating Scumbags on the SCOTUS continue to chip away at Miranda.

Give 'em enough time, they'll do away with it entirely.

The reason for the Fifth is known by everyone with the barest minimum of Google Skills and self-awareness.

Go watch Dont Talk to Police and try to pay attention for at least the first five minutes. You can do it.

Propose that copyright be eliminated. Call it the "Freedom of Knowledge Amendment", and in this document revoke copyright and patents.

I like the cut of your jib!

Those are little fish compared to the DHS/TSA. Those guys are not only domestic terrorists, but so incompetent that they don't really do anything except "look tough."

~ if you want to work with someone who uses InDesign CS7 you need CS7 too.

I applied to BMG a few years ago. Thank dog I didn't get the job (they weren't "ready" to hire, but were "ready" to interview)...

And now all those people will be on the street in a few-18 months.

*cackle*

Better check my 401k and make sure none of it holds NASDAQ:BMC. That thing is going to drop like a rock.

Your (and Adobe's) scheme rests upon the misconception that everyone wants the latest and greatest everything.

I have CS6. If they came out with CS7, I'd probably wait a year (or longer) before buying it, because CS6 does everything I need.

Another thing companies like Adobe forget (Microsoft STILL hasn't learned) is that UI changes SUCK for the end user. I am at maximum productivity and you want to mess up my nuts-n-bolts memory (of how to use the software)? Fark you.

I used to use GIMP exclusively. I could probably switch back and get 90% of everything I need. That last 10% would be painful to give up, but I suppose I could learn to do without. So, I'll keep running CS6 until I can't install it anymore (Hello, Poser!) and then move to Gimp.

Get Jerry on the line!

Tell him to dump my entire warehouse--300 hogsheads--of the powder in the river and go out and buy replacement drums right away!

I'm going to make...(extreme closeup)...a killing!
